1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
7 constraint has a coercion defined. If it doesn't, an error will be thrown
8 when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
10 * has '+foo' now has a blacklist rather than a whitelist for options which
11 can be legally inherited (doy, Tuomas Jormola).
13 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method metohd. (Dave
18 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
19 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
20 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
21 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
22 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
25 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
29 * Accessors will now not be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
32 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
33 constraint parser (doy, nothingmuch).
37 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined function
38 (not just method) (doy).
42 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
43 and aren't easily installable/testable.
45 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
49 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
50 to be overridden more easily (doy).
52 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
56 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
57 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
59 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
63 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
64 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
65 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
67 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
71 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
72 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
73 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
75 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
76 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
80 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
81 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
83 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
84 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
88 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
89 is applied to a class (t0m).
91 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
92 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
94 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
97 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
98 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
100 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
101 be much more robust. (doy)
103 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
105 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
108 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
112 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
113 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
115 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
119 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
120 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
122 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
125 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
126 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
127 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
129 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
130 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
131 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
134 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
136 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
140 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
141 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
145 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
147 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
152 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
156 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
157 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
161 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
163 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
167 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
168 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
172 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
173 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
177 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
178 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
180 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
184 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
185 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
186 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
189 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
193 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
194 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
195 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
196 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
198 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
202 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
203 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
204 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
208 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
211 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
216 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
217 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
221 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
222 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
224 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
225 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
226 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
227 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
229 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
233 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
237 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
238 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
240 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
241 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
242 - Moose::Util::does_role
243 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
244 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
245 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
247 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
251 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
252 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
253 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
256 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
260 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
261 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
264 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
268 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
269 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
272 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
276 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
278 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
279 class. (Dave Rolsky).
281 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
282 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
283 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
285 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
286 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
287 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
290 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
291 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
293 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
294 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
295 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
297 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
299 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
300 substr et al, again. (sorear)
302 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
304 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
307 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
308 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
310 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
311 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
313 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
314 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
315 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
316 dependencies installed.
318 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
319 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
322 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
324 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
328 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
331 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
332 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
334 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
335 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
336 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
338 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
339 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
342 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
343 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
344 others. (nothingmuch)
346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
347 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
348 remove_accessors. (doy)
350 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
351 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
352 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
354 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
355 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
357 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
358 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
359 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
360 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
363 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
364 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
366 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
367 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
369 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
371 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
372 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
376 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
377 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
378 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
379 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
381 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
382 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
383 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
384 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
385 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
386 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
387 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
390 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
391 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
392 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
393 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
394 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
396 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
397 which were not receiving the value of
398 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
399 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
400 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
401 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
405 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
406 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
407 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
408 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
409 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
413 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
414 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
415 - added tests for this (Stevan)
418 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
419 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
420 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
423 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
424 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
425 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
427 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
428 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
429 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
432 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
433 class if you pass it options for
434 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
435 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
436 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
437 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
438 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
439 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
440 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
441 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
442 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
444 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
445 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
446 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
447 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
448 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
451 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
452 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
453 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
454 existing delegation API. (hdp)
456 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
457 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
458 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
459 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
460 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
461 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
464 * Moose::Error::Croak
465 * Moose::Error::Confess
466 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
467 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
470 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
473 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
474 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
475 installing a broken sub. (doy)
478 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
481 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
482 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
483 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
485 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
486 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
487 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
488 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
489 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
491 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
492 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
495 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
497 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
498 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
501 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
502 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
505 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
506 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
507 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
509 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
510 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
511 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
512 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
513 using it for new code!
515 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
516 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
517 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
518 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
520 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
521 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
522 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
523 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
524 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
525 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
526 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
527 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
530 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
533 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
534 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
537 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
538 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
541 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
542 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
545 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
546 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
547 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
550 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
551 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
553 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
554 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
555 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
558 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
559 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
560 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
561 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
562 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
563 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
565 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
567 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
570 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
571 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
572 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
574 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
575 associated_methods. (hdp)
576 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
577 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
578 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
579 misspelled) arguments
581 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
582 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
583 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
584 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
586 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
587 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
588 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
590 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
593 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
594 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
595 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
598 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
599 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
601 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
603 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
604 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
606 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
607 * Moose::Manual::Types
608 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
609 string parsing rathole (mst)
611 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
612 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
613 using plain objects instead
615 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
616 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
619 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
621 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
622 three times today (perigrin)
623 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
624 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
626 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
627 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
628 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
629 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
632 - A role's required methods are now represented by
633 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
634 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
635 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
636 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
637 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
640 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
641 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
642 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
643 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
646 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
648 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
651 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
653 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
656 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
657 during global destruction. This method has been made more
658 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
662 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
663 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
666 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
667 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
669 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
670 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
671 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
674 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
676 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
677 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
680 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
684 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
685 methods during global destruction (doy)
688 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
689 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
693 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
694 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
697 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
698 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
701 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
702 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
704 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
706 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
710 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
711 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
712 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
715 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
716 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
717 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
720 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
722 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
723 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
724 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
727 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
728 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
729 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
730 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
732 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
733 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
734 of the Moose core (Sartak)
737 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
740 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
741 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
742 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
746 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
747 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
750 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
752 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
755 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
756 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
759 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
760 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
763 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
764 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
767 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
770 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
772 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
773 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
777 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
779 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
780 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
783 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
784 * More deprecations and renamings
785 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
786 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
787 when an object is constructed)
790 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
791 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
792 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
794 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
795 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
796 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
797 feature, and it works again.
800 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
802 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
804 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
805 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
806 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
808 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
809 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
810 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
811 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
812 message. Test provided by perigrin.
814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
815 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
816 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
817 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
818 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
821 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
822 metaclass object. (hdp)
824 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
825 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
826 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
827 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
828 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
829 point out this fact. (hdp)
831 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
832 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
834 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
835 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
838 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
839 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
840 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
841 called during instance construction were passed the
842 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
843 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
845 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
846 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
849 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
850 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
851 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
854 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
855 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
856 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
857 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
858 them, but they are not for "public" use.
861 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
863 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
864 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
865 when an object is constructed)
866 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
868 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
869 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
870 when an object is constructed)
871 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
872 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
873 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
876 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
878 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
879 * No changes from 0.72_01.
881 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
883 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
884 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
885 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
887 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
888 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
889 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
891 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
893 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
894 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
896 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
897 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
900 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
901 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
904 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
905 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
906 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
909 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
913 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
914 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
915 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
917 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
918 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
921 * Moose::Manual::Delta
922 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
923 with recommended workarounds.
925 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
926 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
928 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
929 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
930 (yes, spelled like that).
932 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
933 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
936 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
937 changes in latest Class::MOP.
939 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
941 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
942 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
943 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
944 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
945 instead. Reported by doy.
947 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
949 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
950 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
953 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
954 message) is now deprecated.
955 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
956 often got it wrong. For example:
958 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
960 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
964 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
965 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
966 bite you in weird cases.
968 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
969 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
970 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
973 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
974 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
978 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
981 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
982 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
985 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
986 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
989 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
992 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
993 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
994 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
995 - added tests for this (stevan)
997 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
998 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
999 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1000 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1004 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1005 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1006 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1007 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1009 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1010 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1011 - added tests for this (rafl)
1013 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1014 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1015 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1016 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1020 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1021 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1024 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1025 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1026 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1028 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1030 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1031 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1033 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1034 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1035 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1036 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1037 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1039 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1040 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1041 error message did not specify the attribute name
1044 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1046 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1048 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1049 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1050 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1052 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1053 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1056 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1058 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1059 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1060 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1061 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1063 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1065 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1066 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1067 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1068 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1070 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1071 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1072 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1074 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1075 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1076 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1077 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1078 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1080 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1081 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1082 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1083 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1084 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1086 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1087 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1088 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1089 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1090 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1091 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1093 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1094 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1095 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1096 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1097 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1098 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1100 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1101 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1103 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1104 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1105 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1106 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1109 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1112 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1116 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1117 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1119 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1120 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1121 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1122 guts. (nothingmuch).
1124 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1126 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1129 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1130 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1131 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1133 * Moose::Meta::Class
1134 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1137 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1138 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1140 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1141 * Moose::Unsweetened
1142 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1145 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1146 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1147 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1148 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1149 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1150 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1152 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1153 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1154 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1155 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1156 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1157 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1158 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1159 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1160 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1161 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1163 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1165 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1166 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1168 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1169 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1170 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1171 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1173 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1174 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1175 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1176 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1177 same methods for a single role did not work
1178 right (worked just fine with multiple
1180 - added test for this (stevan)
1182 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1183 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1184 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1187 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1188 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1189 - added test for this (t0m)
1192 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1193 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1194 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1197 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1198 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1199 - added test for this (t0m)
1201 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1202 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1203 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1204 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1205 - added test for this (perigrin)
1208 - create method for constructing a role
1209 dynamically (Sartak)
1210 - added test for this (Sartak)
1211 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1212 - added test for this (Sartak)
1215 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1217 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1218 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1219 methods is useful (Sartak)
1221 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1222 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1223 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1226 * Moose::Meta::Class
1227 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1228 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1229 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1230 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1231 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1232 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1235 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1236 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1238 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1239 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1240 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1241 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1242 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1244 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1246 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1247 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1248 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1251 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1252 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1253 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1254 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1255 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1256 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1259 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1260 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1261 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1262 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1263 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1264 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1265 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1266 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1267 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1268 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1269 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1271 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1272 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1275 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1276 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1277 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1278 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1279 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1281 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1283 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1284 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1285 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1287 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1288 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1290 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1291 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1292 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1293 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1296 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1297 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1299 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1301 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1302 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1304 * Moose::Meta::Class
1305 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1306 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1307 a required attribute
1309 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1310 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1311 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1312 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1314 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1315 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1317 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1318 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1319 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1320 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1321 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1322 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1323 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1324 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1326 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1327 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1328 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1330 * Roles and role application
1331 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1332 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1333 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1334 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1335 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1337 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1338 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1341 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1342 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1343 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1344 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1345 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1348 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1349 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1350 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1351 changes in the Moose internals.
1353 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1354 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1355 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1358 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1359 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1360 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1361 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1363 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1364 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1365 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1366 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1368 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1369 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1370 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1371 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1372 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1373 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1374 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1375 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1376 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1377 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1378 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1379 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1380 constraint implementations.
1382 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1386 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1387 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1388 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1389 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1390 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1391 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1392 - added tests for this (rafl)
1394 * Moose::Meta::Class
1395 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1396 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1397 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1398 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1399 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1400 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1401 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1402 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1405 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1406 - added tests for this (thepler)
1408 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1409 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1410 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1411 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1414 * Moose::Meta::Class
1415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1416 * Moose::Meta::Method
1419 * Moose::Error::Default
1420 * Moose::Error::Croak
1421 * Moose::Error::Confess
1422 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1423 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1424 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1425 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1426 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1427 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1429 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1431 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1432 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1434 * Moose::Unsweetened
1435 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1436 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1437 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1439 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1440 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1441 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1442 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1443 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1446 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1447 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1449 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1450 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1451 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1452 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1492 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1494 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1495 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1498 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1499 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1500 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1501 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1502 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1503 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1505 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1506 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1508 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1510 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1511 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1515 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1516 method when that method was provided by another role being
1517 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1518 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1520 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1527 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1528 - added test for this (t0m)
1530 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1531 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1532 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1534 - added test for this (t0m)
1537 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1538 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1539 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1542 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1543 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1545 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1547 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1548 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1550 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1551 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1552 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1554 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1555 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1558 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

1561 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1565 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1566 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1567 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1571 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1572 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1573 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1576 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1580 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1585 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1586 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1587 created so that the process can be more easily

1622 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1623 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1625 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1626 ... this is not my day today ...
1628 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1629 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1630 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1631 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1632 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1635 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1636 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1637 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1638 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1639 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1642 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1644 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1645 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1646 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1647 this is not ever something you want to do

1649 - added tests for this (stevan)
1652 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1654 - added test for this

1663 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1665 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1666 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1667 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1670 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1672 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1674 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1677 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1678 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1679 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1680 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1681 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1682 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1683 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1684 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1685 - added tests for this
1687 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1688 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1689 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1690 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1761 which was causing the indexer to choke
1763 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1764 (late night release engineering)--
1766 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1767 changes in this release

1780 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1784 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1785 method for immutablization to check if the
1786 destructor object even needs to be created
1789 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1790 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1791 - added more descriptive error message to help
1792 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1793 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1795 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1797 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1798 XS based functionality is now optional
1799 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1800 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1801 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1803 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1804 to take care of this, mostly we added
1805 support for the package_name and name

1807 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1808 support regexp matching of names
1809 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1811 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1812 is currently not supported in roles,
1813 but, ... patches welcome

1815 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1816 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1820 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1821 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1822 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1823 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1824 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1825 - added test for this
1827 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1828 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1829 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1832 * Moose::Meta::Class
1833 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1837 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1839 - added tests for this
1840 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1841 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1843 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1844 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1845 themselves parameterizable types

1849 called by the inlined immutable
1851 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1853 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1854 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1855 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1856 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

1871 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1874 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1875 ->body when looping through the
1876 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1878 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1879 eating the $@ values, and so not
1880 working correctly, it still kind of
1881 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1882 - added tests for this
1884 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1885 - added new recipe for immutable
1886 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1888 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1904 drink more coffee before
1905 doing release engineering
1907 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2022 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2024 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2064 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2067 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2068 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2069 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2070 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2072 - added more delegation tests
2073 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2074 support traits and their introspection.
2075 - added tests for this

2315 - added tests for this
2318 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2319 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2358 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2361 - fixed how required methods are handled
2362 when they encounter overriden or modified
2363 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2364 - added tests for this
2366 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2367 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2368 the | always creates a union and so is
2369 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2370 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2372 - added more tests for this
2374 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2377 * Parameterized Types
2378 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2379 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2380 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2381 They can also be nested:
2382 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2383 And work with the type unions as well:
2384 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2386 * Better Framework Extendability
2387 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2388 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2389 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2390 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2393 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2394 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2395 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2396 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2399 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2401 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2630 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2631 so that you can actually document your
2632 attributes and inspect them through the

2636 * Moose::Meta::Class
2637 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2638 it will first look in for the class in the
2639 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2640 then default to just loading $name.
2641 - added tests and docs for this
2643 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2644 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2645 - added test for this
2648 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2650 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2651 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2653 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2654 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2657 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2659 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2660 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2661 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2664 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2665 !! for this developer release to work !!
2667 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2668 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2669 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2670 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2671 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2672 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2673 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2674 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2675 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2676 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2677 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2679 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2680 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2681 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2682 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2685 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2686 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2687 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2688 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2689 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2691 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2693 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2694 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2697 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2698 called unless they actually need to be.
2699 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2700 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2701 DEMOLISH method present.
2703 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2704 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2705 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2706 type constraint, which allows for a
2707 hand optimized version of the type
2708 constraint to be used when possible.
2709 - Any internally created type constraints
2710 now provide an optimized version as well.
2712 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2714 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2715 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2716 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2718 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2719 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2720 your class namespace of these exported
2723 * Moose::Meta::Class
2724 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2725 comes up during global destruction
2727 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2731 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2734 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2735 - changed how we do type checks so that
2736 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2739 - moved accessor generation methods to
2740 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2741 conform to the API changes from
2744 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2745 - changed how constraints are compiled
2746 so that we do less recursion and more
2747 iteration. This makes the type check
2749 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2752 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2753 - created this from methods formerly found in
2754 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2756 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2757 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2759 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2760 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2762 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2763 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2765 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2767 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2768 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2769 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2770 - added tests for this
2771 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2772 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2773 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2774 - removed tests for this
2776 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2778 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2779 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2780 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2783 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2784 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2785 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2787 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2788 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2789 comments for more info.
2792 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2793 asked questions and common problems
2795 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2796 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2797 - added tests for this
2799 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2800 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2801 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2802 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2804 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2805 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2808 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2809 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2810 is much appreciated :)
2811 - added tests for this
2813 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2814 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2815 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2818 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2819 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2821 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2823 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2824 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2828 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2829 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2830 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2832 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2834 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2837 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2838 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2839 keywords because we need to localize them.
2840 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2842 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2843 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2844 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2847 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2850 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2851 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2852 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2855 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2856 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2857 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2859 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2861 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2862 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2863 bottom of your class file.
2866 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2869 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2871 - improved error message when loading modules so
2872 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2873 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2874 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2877 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2878 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2879 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2881 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2882 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2884 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2885 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2886 turn them on for you.
2887 - added tests for this
2888 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2889 in Moose::Meta::Class
2892 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2893 automatically turned on for you.
2894 - added tests for this
2897 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2898 - added tests for this

2912 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2915 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2916 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2917 - This release works in combination with
2918 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2919 release because it uses the a new
2920 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2921 complete Role implementation. It has
2922 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2923 the the previous CPAN version. This
2924 release also lacks good updated docs,
2925 the official release will have updated docs.
2928 - refactored the keyword exports
2929 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2930 accepts more than one Role at a time
2931 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2932 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2935 - refactored the keyword exports
2936 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2937 accepts more than one Role at a time
2939 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2940 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2941 string enumerations which can be used as
2943 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2946 - more careful checking of params to new()
2949 - much work done on the role composition
2950 - many new tests for conflict detection
2951 and composition edge cases
2952 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2953 looking at the tests
2955 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2956 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2957 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2959 * Moose::Meta::Class

2962 - some small additions to support Roles
2964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2965 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2967 - some small changes to support the new
2969 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2970 with the 'handles' option
2971 - added several tests for this
2972 - no docs for this yet
2974 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2976 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2977 thanks to chansen for this commit
2978 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2979 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2980 on a per-attribute basis
2981 - added tests for this
2982 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2983 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2984 experimental feature and probably not finished
2985 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2986 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2987 - added tests for this
