1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
6 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
7 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
8 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
9 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
10 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
13 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
14 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
15 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
16 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
17 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
19 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
20 which were not receiving the value of
21 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
22 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
23 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
24 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
28 - Add more hooks to customize how roles are applied.
30 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
31 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
32 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
34 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
35 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
36 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
39 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
40 class if you pass it options for
41 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
42 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
43 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
44 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
45 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
46 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
47 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
48 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
49 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
52 - Warn when calling make_immutable on a class with mutable ancestors.
55 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
56 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
57 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
58 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
59 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
62 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
63 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
64 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
65 existing delegation API. (hdp)
67 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
68 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
69 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
70 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
71 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
72 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
76 * Moose::Error::Confess
77 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
78 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
81 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
84 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
85 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
86 installing a broken sub. (doy)
88 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
89 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers
90 attached to the accessor being delegated on will be
92 - added tests for this (Stevan)
95 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
96 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
98 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
99 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
100 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
101 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
102 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
104 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
105 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
108 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
110 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
111 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
114 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
115 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
118 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
119 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
120 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
122 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
123 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
124 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
125 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
126 using it for new code!
128 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
129 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
130 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
131 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
133 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
134 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
135 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
136 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
137 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
138 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
139 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
140 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
143 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
146 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
147 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
151 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
153 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
154 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
155 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
158 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
159 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
160 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
163 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
164 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
166 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
167 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
168 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
171 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
173 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
174 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
175 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
176 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
178 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
180 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
183 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
184 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
185 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
187 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
188 associated_methods. (hdp)
189 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
190 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
191 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
192 misspelled) arguments
194 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
195 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
196 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
197 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
199 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
200 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
201 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
203 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
206 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
207 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
208 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
211 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
212 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
214 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
216 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
217 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
219 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
220 * Moose::Manual::Types
221 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
222 string parsing rathole (mst)
224 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
225 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
226 using plain objects instead
228 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
229 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
232 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
234 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
235 three times today (perigrin)
236 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
237 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
239 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
240 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
241 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
242 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
245 - A role's required methods are now represented by
246 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
247 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
248 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
249 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
250 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
253 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
254 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
255 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
256 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
259 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
261 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
264 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
266 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
269 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
270 during global destruction. This method has been made more
271 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
275 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
276 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
279 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
280 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
282 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
283 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
284 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
287 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
289 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
290 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
293 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
297 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
298 methods during global destruction (doy)
301 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
302 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
306 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
307 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
310 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
311 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
314 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
315 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
317 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
319 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
323 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
324 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
325 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
328 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
329 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
330 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
333 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
335 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
336 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
337 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
340 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
341 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
342 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
343 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
345 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
346 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
347 of the Moose core (Sartak)
350 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
353 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
354 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
355 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
359 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
360 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
363 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
365 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
368 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
369 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
372 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
373 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
376 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
377 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
380 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
383 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
385 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
386 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
390 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
392 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
393 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
396 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
397 * More deprecations and renamings
398 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
399 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
400 when an object is constructed)
403 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
404 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
405 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
408 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
409 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
410 feature, and it works again.
413 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
415 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
417 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
418 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
419 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
421 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
422 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
423 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
424 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
425 message. Test provided by perigrin.
427 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
428 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
429 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
430 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
431 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
434 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
435 metaclass object. (hdp)
437 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
438 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
439 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
440 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
441 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
442 point out this fact. (hdp)
444 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
445 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
447 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
448 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
451 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
452 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
453 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
454 called during instance construction were passed the
455 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
456 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
458 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
459 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
462 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
463 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
464 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
467 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
468 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
469 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
470 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
471 them, but they are not for "public" use.
474 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
476 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
477 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
478 when an object is constructed)
479 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
481 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
482 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
483 when an object is constructed)
484 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
485 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
486 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
489 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
491 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
492 * No changes from 0.72_01.
494 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
496 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
497 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
498 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
500 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
501 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
502 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
504 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
506 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
507 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
509 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
510 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
513 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
514 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
517 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
518 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
519 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
521 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
522 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
526 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
527 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
528 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
531 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
534 * Moose::Manual::Delta
535 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
536 with recommended workarounds.
538 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
539 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
541 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
542 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
543 (yes, spelled like that).
545 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
546 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
549 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
550 changes in latest Class::MOP.
552 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
554 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
555 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
556 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
557 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
558 instead. Reported by doy.
560 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
562 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
563 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
565 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
566 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
567 message) is now deprecated.
568 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
569 often got it wrong. For example:
571 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
573 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
577 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
578 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
579 bite you in weird cases.
581 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
582 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
583 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
586 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
587 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
591 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
594 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
595 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
598 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
599 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
601 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
602 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
605 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
606 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
607 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
608 - added tests for this (stevan)
610 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
611 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
612 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
613 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
617 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
618 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
619 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
620 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
622 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
623 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
624 - added tests for this (rafl)
626 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
627 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
628 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
629 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
633 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
634 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
637 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
638 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
639 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
641 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
643 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
644 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
647 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
648 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
649 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
650 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
652 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
653 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
654 error message did not specify the attribute name
657 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
659 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
661 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
662 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
663 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
665 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
666 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
669 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
671 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
672 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
673 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
674 of fixes and formatting improvements.
676 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
678 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
679 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
680 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
681 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
683 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
684 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
685 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
687 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
688 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
689 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
690 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
691 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
693 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
694 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
695 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
696 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
697 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
700 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
701 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
702 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
703 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
704 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
706 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
707 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
708 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
709 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
710 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
711 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
713 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
714 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
716 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
717 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
718 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
719 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
722 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
725 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
729 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
730 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
732 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
733 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
734 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
737 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
738 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
739 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
741 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
742 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
743 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
744 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
747 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
750 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
751 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
753 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
755 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
758 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
759 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
760 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
761 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
762 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
763 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
765 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
766 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
767 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
768 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
769 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
770 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
771 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
772 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
773 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
774 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
776 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
778 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
779 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
781 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
782 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
783 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
784 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
786 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
787 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
788 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
789 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
790 same methods for a single role did not work
791 right (worked just fine with multiple
793 - added test for this (stevan)
795 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
796 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
797 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
800 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
801 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
802 - added test for this (t0m)
805 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
806 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
807 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
809 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
810 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
811 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
812 - added test for this (t0m)
814 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
815 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
816 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
817 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
818 - added test for this (perigrin)
821 - create method for constructing a role
823 - added test for this (Sartak)
824 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
825 - added test for this (Sartak)
828 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
830 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
831 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
832 methods is useful (Sartak)
834 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
835 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
836 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
840 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
841 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
842 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
843 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
844 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
845 - added tests for this (jdv79)
848 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
849 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
851 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
852 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
853 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
854 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
855 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
857 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
859 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
860 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
861 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
864 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
865 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
866 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
867 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
868 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
869 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
872 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
873 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
874 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
875 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
876 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
877 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
878 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
879 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
880 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
881 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
882 future. (jnapiorkowski)
884 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
885 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
888 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
889 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
890 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
891 type. (jnapiorkowski)
892 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
894 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
896 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
897 predicate, and link to more details sections in
898 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
900 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
901 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
904 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
905 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
906 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
909 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
910 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
912 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
914 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
915 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
918 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
919 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
922 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
923 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
924 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
925 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
927 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
928 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
930 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
931 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
932 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
933 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
934 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
935 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
936 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
937 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
939 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
940 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
941 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
943 * Roles and role application
944 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
945 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
946 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
947 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
948 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
950 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
951 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
954 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
955 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
956 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
957 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
958 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
961 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
962 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
963 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
964 changes in the Moose internals.
966 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
967 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
968 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
971 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
972 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
973 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
974 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
976 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
977 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
978 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
979 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
981 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
982 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
983 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
984 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
985 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
986 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
987 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
988 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
989 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
990 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
991 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
992 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
993 constraint implementations.
995 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
999 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1000 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1001 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1002 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1003 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1004 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1005 - added tests for this (rafl)
1007 * Moose::Meta::Class
1008 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1009 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1010 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1011 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1012 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1013 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1014 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1015 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1018 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1019 - added tests for this (thepler)
1021 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1022 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1023 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1024 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1027 * Moose::Meta::Class
1028 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1029 * Moose::Meta::Method
1032 * Moose::Error::Default
1033 * Moose::Error::Croak
1034 * Moose::Error::Confess
1035 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1036 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1037 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1038 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1039 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1040 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1042 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1044 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1045 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1047 * Moose::Unsweetened
1048 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1049 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1050 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1052 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1053 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1054 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1055 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1056 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1059 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1060 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1062 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1063 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1064 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1065 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1068 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1070 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1071 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1073 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1076 - Various bug fixes.
1078 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1079 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1081 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1083 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1084 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1085 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1086 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1087 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1088 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1090 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1091 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1092 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1094 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1095 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1096 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1099 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1100 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1101 dependency to 0.64_07.
1103 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1104 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1105 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1107 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1108 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1111 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1112 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1113 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1114 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1115 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1116 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1118 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1119 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1121 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1123 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1124 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1128 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1129 method when that method was provided by another role being
1130 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1131 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1133 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1135 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1136 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1138 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1139 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1140 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1141 - added test for this (t0m)
1143 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1144 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1145 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1147 - added test for this (t0m)
1150 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1151 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1152 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1155 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1156 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1158 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1160 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1161 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1163 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1164 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1165 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1167 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1168 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1171 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1172 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1173 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1174 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1178 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1179 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1180 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1183 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1184 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1185 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1186 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1189 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1193 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1194 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1195 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1197 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1198 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1199 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1200 created so that the process can be more easily
1201 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1204 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1205 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1206 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1209 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1212 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1213 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1215 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1216 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1217 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1219 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1220 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1221 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1223 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1224 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1226 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1227 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1230 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1231 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1235 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1236 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1238 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1239 ... this is not my day today ...
1241 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1242 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1243 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1244 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1245 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1248 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1249 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1250 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1251 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1252 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1255 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1257 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1258 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1259 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1260 this is not ever something you want to do
1261 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1262 - added tests for this (stevan)
1265 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1267 - added test for this
1269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1270 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1271 - added tests for this (wreis)
1273 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1274 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1275 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1276 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1278 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1279 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1280 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1283 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1285 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1287 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1290 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1291 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1292 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1293 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1294 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1295 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1296 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1297 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1298 - added tests for this
1300 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1301 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1302 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1303 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1305 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1307 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1308 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1309 - added tests for this (sartak)
1310 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1311 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1314 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1316 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1317 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1319 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1320 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1321 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1322 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1324 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1326 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1327 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1330 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1331 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1332 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1335 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1336 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1338 - added docs for this (TODO).
1339 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1340 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1341 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1342 - fix builder and default both being used
1347 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1349 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1350 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1351 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1355 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1359 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1360 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1361 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1364 - move the ClassName type check code to
1365 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1367 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1368 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1370 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1371 (early morning release engineering)--

1403 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1404 - added more descriptive error message to help
1405 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1406 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1408 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1410 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1411 XS based functionality is now optional
1412 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1413 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1414 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1416 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1417 to take care of this, mostly we added
1418 support for the package_name and name
1419 variables in all the Method metaclasses

1424 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1425 is currently not supported in roles,
1426 but, ... patches welcome
1427 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1428 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1429 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1432 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1433 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1434 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1435 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1436 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1437 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1438 - added test for this
1440 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1441 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1442 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1445 * Moose::Meta::Class

1484 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1487 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1488 ->body when looping through the
1489 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1491 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1492 eating the $@ values, and so not
1493 working correctly, it still kind of
1494 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1495 - added tests for this

1517 drink more coffee before
1518 doing release engineering
1520 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1521 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1522 modules. This fixes that.

1525 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1526 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

1635 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1637 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1638 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1681 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1682 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1974 - fixed how required methods are handled
1975 when they encounter overriden or modified
1976 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1977 - added tests for this
1979 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1980 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1981 the | always creates a union and so is
1982 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1983 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1985 - added more tests for this
1987 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1990 * Parameterized Types
1991 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1992 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1993 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1994 They can also be nested:
1995 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1996 And work with the type unions as well:
1997 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1999 * Better Framework Extendability
2000 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2001 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2002 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2003 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2006 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2007 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2008 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2009 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2012 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2014 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2168 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2169 prototypes for functions
2170 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2171 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2181 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2184 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2185 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2186 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2187 - added tests for this
2189 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2191 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2213 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2215 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2216 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2217 so this release is just to fix that.
2220 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2221 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2222 (thanks to konobi for this)

2234 functions to facilitate introspection.
2236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2237 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2238 to build the list of delegated methods

2240 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2242 - added tests and docs for this
2243 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2244 so that you can actually document your
2245 attributes and inspect them through the
2247 - added tests and docs for this
2249 * Moose::Meta::Class
2250 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2251 it will first look in for the class in the
2252 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2253 then default to just loading $name.
2254 - added tests and docs for this
2256 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2257 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2258 - added test for this
2261 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2262 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2263 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2264 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2266 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2267 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2270 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2272 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2273 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2274 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2277 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2278 !! for this developer release to work !!
2280 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2281 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2282 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2283 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2284 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2285 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2286 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2287 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2288 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2289 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2290 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2292 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2293 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2294 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2295 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2298 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2300 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2301 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2302 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2304 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2306 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2307 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2310 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2311 called unless they actually need to be.
2312 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2313 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2314 DEMOLISH method present.
2316 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2317 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2318 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2319 type constraint, which allows for a
2320 hand optimized version of the type
2321 constraint to be used when possible.
2322 - Any internally created type constraints
2323 now provide an optimized version as well.
2325 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2327 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2328 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2329 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2331 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2332 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2333 your class namespace of these exported
2336 * Moose::Meta::Class
2337 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2338 comes up during global destruction
2340 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2344 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2348 - changed how we do type checks so that
2349 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2352 - moved accessor generation methods to
2353 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2354 conform to the API changes from
2357 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2358 - changed how constraints are compiled
2359 so that we do less recursion and more
2360 iteration. This makes the type check
2362 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2365 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2366 - created this from methods formerly found in
2367 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2369 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2370 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2372 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2373 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

2380 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2381 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2382 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2383 - added tests for this
2384 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2385 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2386 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2387 - removed tests for this
2389 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2391 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2392 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2393 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2396 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2397 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2398 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2400 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2401 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2402 comments for more info.
2405 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2406 asked questions and common problems
2408 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2409 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2410 - added tests for this
2412 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2413 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2414 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2415 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2417 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2418 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2421 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2422 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2423 is much appreciated :)
2424 - added tests for this
2426 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2427 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2428 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2431 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2432 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2434 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2436 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2437 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2441 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2442 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2443 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2445 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2447 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2450 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2451 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2452 keywords because we need to localize them.
2453 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2455 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2456 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2457 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2460 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2463 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2464 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2465 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2468 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2469 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2470 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2472 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2474 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2475 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2476 bottom of your class file.
2479 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2482 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2484 - improved error message when loading modules so
2485 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2486 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2487 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2490 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2491 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2492 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2494 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2495 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2497 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2498 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2499 turn them on for you.
2500 - added tests for this

2529 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2530 - This release works in combination with
2531 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2532 release because it uses the a new
2533 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2534 complete Role implementation. It has
2535 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2536 the the previous CPAN version. This
2537 release also lacks good updated docs,
2538 the official release will have updated docs.
2541 - refactored the keyword exports
2542 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2543 accepts more than one Role at a time

2556 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2559 - more careful checking of params to new()
2562 - much work done on the role composition
2563 - many new tests for conflict detection
2564 and composition edge cases
2565 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2566 looking at the tests
2568 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2569 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2570 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2591 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2592 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2593 on a per-attribute basis
2594 - added tests for this
2595 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2596 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
