1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
10 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
14 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
15 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
16 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
18 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
22 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
23 skips every other role. (rjbs)
25 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
26 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
27 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
28 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
29 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
31 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
35 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
36 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
37 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
40 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
45 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
47 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
48 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
50 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
54 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
55 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
56 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
60 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
61 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
63 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
64 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
66 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
67 environments. (doy, mateu)
69 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
73 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
74 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
75 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
76 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
80 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
81 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
83 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
87 * Update conflicts list.
90 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
94 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
95 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
96 details. (Dave Rolsky)
98 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
99 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
100 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
101 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
102 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
106 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
107 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
108 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
109 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
110 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
113 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
117 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
118 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
120 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
123 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
127 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
128 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
129 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
130 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
132 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
133 immutable classes). (mo)
135 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
136 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
137 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
139 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
143 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
145 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
147 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
151 * Fix some indexing issues.
153 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
155 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
159 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
160 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
161 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
162 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
163 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
165 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
166 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
171 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
172 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
173 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
174 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
176 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
177 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
178 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
182 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
183 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
186 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
190 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
191 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
195 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
199 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
200 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
201 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
202 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
205 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
209 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
212 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
216 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
217 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
218 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
221 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
225 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
226 policy. (Chris Prather)
228 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
229 on this new support policy. (doy)
233 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
234 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
235 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
237 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
238 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
240 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
244 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
245 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
246 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
247 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
250 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
254 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
255 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
258 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
262 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
263 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
265 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
266 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
270 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
271 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
272 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
273 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
274 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
275 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
277 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
278 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
280 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
281 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
282 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
283 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
285 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
286 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
288 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
293 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
294 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
296 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
300 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
301 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
302 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
304 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
308 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
309 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
310 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
312 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
313 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
316 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
317 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
320 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
321 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
322 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
324 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
325 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
330 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
331 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
332 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
333 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
335 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
336 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
338 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
339 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
341 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
342 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
343 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
344 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
346 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
347 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
348 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
351 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
352 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
353 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
354 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
356 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
357 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
360 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
361 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
362 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
364 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
368 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
369 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
370 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
372 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
373 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
374 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
377 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
378 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
379 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
381 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
382 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
383 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
385 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
386 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
390 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
391 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
392 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
394 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
395 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
396 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
397 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
399 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
403 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
404 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
405 value is a reference.
407 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
408 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
410 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
414 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
415 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
416 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
418 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
422 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
423 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
427 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
428 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
429 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
431 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
432 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
433 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
435 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
439 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
441 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
445 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
447 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
448 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
453 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
454 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
456 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
457 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
458 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
459 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
460 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
462 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
463 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
464 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
465 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
467 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
471 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
472 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
477 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
479 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
481 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
486 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
488 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
492 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
493 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
494 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
496 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
497 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
498 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
499 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
501 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
502 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
503 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
504 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
505 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
508 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
513 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
514 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
515 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
516 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
517 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
520 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
524 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
527 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
528 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
532 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
533 function (not just method). (doy)
537 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
538 and aren't easily installable/testable.
540 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
544 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
545 to be overridden more easily (doy).
547 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
551 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
552 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
554 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
558 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
559 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
560 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
562 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
566 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
567 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
568 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
570 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
571 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
575 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
576 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
578 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
579 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
583 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
584 is applied to a class (t0m).
586 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
587 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
589 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
592 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
593 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
595 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
596 be much more robust. (doy)
598 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
600 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
603 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
607 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
608 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
610 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
614 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
615 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
617 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
620 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
621 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
622 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
624 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
625 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
626 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
629 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
631 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
635 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
636 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
640 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
642 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
646 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
647 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
651 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
652 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
656 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
658 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
662 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
663 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
667 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
668 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
672 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
673 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
675 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
679 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
680 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
681 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
684 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
688 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
689 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
690 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
691 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
693 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
697 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
698 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
699 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
703 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
706 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
710 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
711 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
712 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
716 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
717 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
719 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
720 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
721 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
722 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
724 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
728 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
732 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
733 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
735 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
736 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
737 - Moose::Util::does_role
738 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
739 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
740 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
742 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
746 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
747 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
748 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
751 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
755 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
756 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
759 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
763 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
764 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
767 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
771 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
773 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
774 class. (Dave Rolsky).
776 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
777 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
778 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
780 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
781 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
782 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
785 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
786 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
788 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
789 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
790 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
792 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
794 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
795 substr et al, again. (sorear)
797 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
799 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
802 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
803 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
805 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
806 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
808 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
809 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
810 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
811 dependencies installed.
813 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
814 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
817 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
819 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
823 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
825 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
826 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
827 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
829 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
830 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
831 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
833 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
834 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
837 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
838 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
839 others. (nothingmuch)
841 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
842 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
843 remove_accessors. (doy)
845 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
846 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
847 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
849 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
850 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
852 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
853 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
854 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
855 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
858 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
859 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
862 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
864 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
866 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
867 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
870 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
871 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
872 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
873 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
874 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
876 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
878 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
879 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
880 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
881 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
882 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
885 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
886 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
887 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
888 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
889 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
891 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
892 which were not receiving the value of
893 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
894 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
895 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
896 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
900 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
901 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
902 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
903 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
904 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
907 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
908 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
909 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
910 - added tests for this (Stevan)
913 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
914 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
915 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
918 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
919 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
920 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
922 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
923 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
924 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
927 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
928 class if you pass it options for
929 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
930 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
931 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
932 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
933 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
934 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
935 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
936 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
937 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
939 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
940 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
941 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
942 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
943 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
946 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
947 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
948 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
949 existing delegation API. (hdp)
951 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
952 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
953 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
954 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
955 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
956 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
959 * Moose::Error::Croak
960 * Moose::Error::Confess
961 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
962 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
965 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
968 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
969 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
970 installing a broken sub. (doy)
973 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
976 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
977 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
978 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
980 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
981 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
982 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
983 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
984 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
986 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
987 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
990 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
992 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
993 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
996 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
997 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
999 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1000 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1001 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1002 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1005 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1006 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1007 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1008 using it for new code!
1010 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1011 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1012 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1013 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1015 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1016 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1017 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1018 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1019 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1020 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1021 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1022 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1025 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1028 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1029 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1032 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1033 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1036 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1037 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1039 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1040 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1041 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1042 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1044 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1045 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1046 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1048 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1049 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1050 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1053 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1054 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1055 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1056 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1057 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1058 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1060 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1062 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1065 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1066 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1067 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1069 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1070 associated_methods. (hdp)
1071 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1072 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1073 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1074 misspelled) arguments
1076 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1077 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1078 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1079 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1082 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1083 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1085 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1088 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1089 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1090 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1093 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1094 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1096 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1097 * Moose::Meta::Class
1098 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1099 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1101 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1102 * Moose::Manual::Types
1103 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1104 string parsing rathole (mst)
1106 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1107 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1108 using plain objects instead
1110 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1111 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1112 that's what we need.
1114 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1115 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1116 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1117 three times today (perigrin)
1118 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1119 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1121 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1122 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1123 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1124 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1127 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1128 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1129 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1130 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1131 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1132 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1135 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1136 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1137 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1138 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1141 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1143 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1146 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1148 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1151 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1152 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1153 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1157 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1158 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1161 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1162 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1164 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1165 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1166 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1168 * Moose::Unsweetened
1169 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1171 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1172 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1175 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1179 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1180 methods during global destruction (doy)
1182 * Moose::Meta::Class
1183 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1184 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1185 consumption (Sartak)
1187 * Moose::Meta::Class
1188 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1189 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1192 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1193 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1196 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1197 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1199 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1201 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1205 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1206 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1207 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1210 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1211 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1212 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1215 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1217 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1218 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1219 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1222 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1223 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1224 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1225 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1227 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1228 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1229 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1232 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1235 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1236 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1237 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1241 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1242 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1244 * Moose::Meta::Class
1245 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1247 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1249 * Moose::Meta::Class
1250 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1251 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1254 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1255 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1258 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1259 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1262 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1265 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1268 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1271 * Moose::Meta::Class
1272 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1274 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1275 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1278 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1279 * More deprecations and renamings
1280 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1281 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1282 when an object is constructed)
1285 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1286 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1287 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1289 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1290 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1291 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1292 feature, and it works again.
1295 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1297 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1299 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1300 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1301 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1304 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1305 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1306 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1307 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1309 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1310 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1311 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1312 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1313 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1316 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1317 metaclass object. (hdp)
1319 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1320 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1321 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1322 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1323 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1324 point out this fact. (hdp)
1326 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1327 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1329 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1330 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1332 * Moose::Meta::Class
1333 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1334 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1335 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1336 called during instance construction were passed the
1337 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1338 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1340 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1341 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1344 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1345 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1346 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1349 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1350 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1351 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1352 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1353 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1355 - Moose::Meta::Class
1356 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1358 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1359 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1360 when an object is constructed)
1361 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1363 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1364 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1365 when an object is constructed)
1366 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1367 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1368 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1371 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1373 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1374 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1376 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1378 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1379 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1380 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1382 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1383 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1384 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1386 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1388 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1389 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1391 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1392 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1395 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1396 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1399 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1400 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1401 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1403 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1404 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1408 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1409 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1410 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1413 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1416 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1417 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1418 with recommended workarounds.
1420 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1421 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1423 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1424 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1425 (yes, spelled like that).
1427 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1428 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1430 * Moose::Meta::Class
1431 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1432 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1434 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1436 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1437 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1438 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1439 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1440 instead. Reported by doy.
1442 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1444 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1445 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1447 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1448 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1449 message) is now deprecated.
1450 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1451 often got it wrong. For example:
1453 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1455 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1459 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1460 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1461 bite you in weird cases.
1463 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1464 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1465 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1466 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1468 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1469 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1473 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1476 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1477 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1480 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1481 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1483 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1484 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1487 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1488 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1489 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1490 - added tests for this (stevan)
1492 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1493 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1494 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1495 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1499 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1500 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1501 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1502 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1504 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1505 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1506 - added tests for this (rafl)
1508 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1509 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1510 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1511 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1515 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1516 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1519 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1520 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1521 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1523 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1525 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1526 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1528 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1529 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1530 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1531 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1532 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1534 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1535 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1536 error message did not specify the attribute name
1539 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1541 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1543 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1544 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1545 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1547 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1548 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1551 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1553 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1554 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1555 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1556 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1558 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1560 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1561 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1562 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1563 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1565 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1566 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1567 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1569 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1570 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1571 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1572 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1573 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1575 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1576 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1577 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1578 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1579 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1581 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1582 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1583 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1584 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1585 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1586 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1588 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1589 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1590 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1591 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1592 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1593 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1595 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1596 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1598 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1599 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1600 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1601 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1603 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1604 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1607 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1611 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1612 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1614 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1615 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1616 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1617 guts. (nothingmuch).
1619 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1620 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1621 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1623 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1624 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1625 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1626 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1628 * Moose::Meta::Class
1629 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1632 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1633 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1635 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1636 * Moose::Unsweetened
1637 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1640 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1641 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1642 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1643 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1644 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1645 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1647 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1648 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1649 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1650 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1651 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1652 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1653 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1654 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1655 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1656 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1658 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1660 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1661 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1663 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1664 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1665 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1666 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1668 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1669 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1670 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1671 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1672 same methods for a single role did not work
1673 right (worked just fine with multiple
1675 - added test for this (stevan)
1677 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1678 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1679 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1682 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1683 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1684 - added test for this (t0m)
1687 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1688 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1689 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1691 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1692 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1693 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1694 - added test for this (t0m)
1696 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1697 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1698 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1699 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1700 - added test for this (perigrin)
1703 - create method for constructing a role
1704 dynamically (Sartak)
1705 - added test for this (Sartak)
1706 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1707 - added test for this (Sartak)
1710 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1712 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1713 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1714 methods is useful (Sartak)
1716 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1718 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1721 * Moose::Meta::Class
1722 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1723 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1724 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1725 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1726 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1727 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1730 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1731 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1733 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1734 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1735 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1736 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1737 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1739 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1741 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1742 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1743 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1746 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1747 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1748 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1749 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1750 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1751 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1754 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1755 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1756 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1757 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1758 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1759 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1760 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1761 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1762 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1763 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1764 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1766 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1767 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1770 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1771 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1772 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1773 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1774 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1776 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1778 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1779 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1780 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1783 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1785 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1786 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1787 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1788 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1791 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1792 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1794 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1796 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1797 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1799 * Moose::Meta::Class
1800 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1801 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1802 a required attribute
1804 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1805 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1806 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1807 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1809 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1810 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1812 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1813 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1814 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1815 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1816 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1817 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1818 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1819 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1821 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1822 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1823 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1825 * Roles and role application
1826 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1827 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1828 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1829 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1830 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1832 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1833 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1836 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1837 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1838 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1839 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1840 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1843 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1844 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1845 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1846 changes in the Moose internals.
1848 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1849 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1850 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1853 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1854 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1855 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1856 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1858 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1859 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1860 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1861 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1863 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1864 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1865 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1866 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1867 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1868 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1869 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1870 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1871 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1872 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1873 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1874 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1875 constraint implementations.
1877 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1881 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1882 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1883 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1884 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1885 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1886 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1887 - added tests for this (rafl)
1889 * Moose::Meta::Class
1890 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1891 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1892 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1893 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1894 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1895 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1896 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1897 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1900 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1901 - added tests for this (thepler)
1903 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1904 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1905 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1906 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1909 * Moose::Meta::Class
1910 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1911 * Moose::Meta::Method
1914 * Moose::Error::Default
1915 * Moose::Error::Croak
1916 * Moose::Error::Confess
1917 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1918 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1919 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1920 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1921 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1922 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1924 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1926 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1927 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1929 * Moose::Unsweetened
1930 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1931 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1932 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1934 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1935 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1936 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1937 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1938 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1941 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1942 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1944 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1945 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1946 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1947 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1950 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1952 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1953 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1955 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1958 - Various bug fixes.
1960 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1961 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1963 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1965 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1966 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1967 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1968 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1969 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1970 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1972 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1973 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1974 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1976 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1977 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1978 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1981 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1982 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1983 dependency to 0.64_07.
1985 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1986 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1987 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1989 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1990 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1993 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1994 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1995 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1996 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1997 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1998 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2000 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2001 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2003 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2005 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2006 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2010 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2011 method when that method was provided by another role being
2012 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2013 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2015 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2017 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2018 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2020 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2021 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2022 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2023 - added test for this (t0m)
2025 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2026 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2027 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2029 - added test for this (t0m)
2032 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2033 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2034 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2037 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2038 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2040 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2042 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2043 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2045 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2046 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2047 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2049 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2120 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2121 ... this is not my day today ...
2123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2124 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2125 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2126 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2127 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2130 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2131 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2132 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2133 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2134 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2137 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2139 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2140 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2172 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2173 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2174 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2175 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2176 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2177 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2178 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2179 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2180 - added tests for this
2182 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2183 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2293 XS based functionality is now optional
2294 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2747 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2748 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2749 types without having to explictly define them
2750 - added tests for this
2752 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2753 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2754 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2756 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2757 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2758 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2759 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2760 - added tests for this
2761 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2762 a single type at different times instead of
2763 having to do it all in one place
2764 - added tests for this
2766 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2767 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2768 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2771 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2772 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2773 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2774 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2775 new features above (although you cannot add
2776 more type coercions for Union types)
2778 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2779 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2780 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2781 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2782 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2783 - added tests for this.
2784 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2785 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2786 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2787 - added tests for this
2788 - added docs for this
2790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2791 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2792 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2793 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2794 instead it will just return undef.
2795 - added docs for this
2797 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2809 with work correctly.
2810 - added tests for this
2813 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2814 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2817 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2818 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2819 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2821 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2822 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2852 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2853 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2856 - fixed how required methods are handled
2857 when they encounter overriden or modified
2858 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2859 - added tests for this
2861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2862 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2863 the | always creates a union and so is
2864 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2865 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2867 - added more tests for this
2869 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2872 * Parameterized Types
2873 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2874 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2875 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2876 They can also be nested:
2877 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2878 And work with the type unions as well:
2879 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2881 * Better Framework Extendability
2882 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2883 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2884 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2885 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2888 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2889 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2890 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2891 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2894 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2896 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2897 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2928 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2930 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2931 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2932 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2933 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2935 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2936 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

2939 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2940 +++ with new features added as well +++
2942 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2946 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2948 - added tests for this
2950 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2956 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2957 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2959 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2960 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2961 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2962 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2976 (thanks to shlomif).
2978 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2979 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2980 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2981 - added tests for this

2984 - added tests for this
2986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2987 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

3018 - added tests for these
3020 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3021 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3023 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3024 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3025 to the 'handles' option.
3026 - added tests and docs for this

3029 (but not changing the handles option)
3030 - added tests and docs for this
3033 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3034 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3035 - adjusted tests for this
3037 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3038 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3039 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3045 the other side (perigrin)
3047 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3048 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3049 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3050 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3051 prototypes for functions
3052 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3053 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3063 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3066 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3067 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3068 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3069 - added tests for this
3071 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3073 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3086 where not handled correctly in roles
3087 - added tests for this
3089 * Moose::Meta::Class
3090 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3091 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3092 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3094 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3095 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3097 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3098 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3099 so this release is just to fix that.
3102 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3103 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3104 (thanks to konobi for this)
3105 - added tests and docs
3107 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3108 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3110 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3111 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3112 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3113 - added tests for this

3115 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3116 functions to facilitate introspection.
3118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3119 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3120 to build the list of delegated methods
3121 correctly (and not override important
3122 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3124 - added tests and docs for this
3125 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3126 so that you can actually document your
3127 attributes and inspect them through the
3129 - added tests and docs for this
3131 * Moose::Meta::Class
3132 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3133 it will first look in for the class in the
3134 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3135 then default to just loading $name.
3136 - added tests and docs for this
3138 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3139 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3140 - added test for this
3143 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3144 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3145 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3146 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3148 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3149 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3152 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3154 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3155 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3156 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3159 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3160 !! for this developer release to work !!
3162 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3163 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3164 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3165 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3166 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3167 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3168 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3169 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3170 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3171 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3172 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3174 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3175 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3176 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3177 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3180 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3182 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3183 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3184 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3186 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3188 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3189 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3192 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3193 called unless they actually need to be.
3194 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3195 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3196 DEMOLISH method present.
3198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3199 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3200 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3201 type constraint, which allows for a
3202 hand optimized version of the type
3203 constraint to be used when possible.
3204 - Any internally created type constraints
3205 now provide an optimized version as well.
3207 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3209 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3210 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3211 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3213 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3214 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3215 your class namespace of these exported
3218 * Moose::Meta::Class
3219 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3220 comes up during global destruction
3222 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3226 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3229 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3230 - changed how we do type checks so that
3231 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3234 - moved accessor generation methods to
3235 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3236 conform to the API changes from
3239 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3240 - changed how constraints are compiled
3241 so that we do less recursion and more
3242 iteration. This makes the type check
3244 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3247 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3248 - created this from methods formerly found in
3249 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3251 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3252 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3255 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3258 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3260 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3263 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3264 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3265 - added tests for this
3266 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3267 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3268 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3269 - removed tests for this
3271 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3273 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3274 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3275 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3278 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3279 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3280 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3282 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3283 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3284 comments for more info.
3287 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3288 asked questions and common problems
3290 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3291 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3292 - added tests for this
3294 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3295 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3296 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3297 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3299 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3300 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3303 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3304 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3305 is much appreciated :)
3306 - added tests for this
3308 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3309 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3310 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3313 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3314 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3316 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3318 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3319 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3323 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3324 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3325 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3327 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3329 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3332 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3333 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3334 keywords because we need to localize them.
3335 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3337 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3338 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3339 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3342 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3345 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3346 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3347 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3350 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3351 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3352 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3354 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3356 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3357 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3358 bottom of your class file.
3361 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3364 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3366 - improved error message when loading modules so
3367 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3368 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3369 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3372 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3373 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3374 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3376 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3377 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3379 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3380 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3381 turn them on for you.
3382 - added tests for this
3383 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3384 in Moose::Meta::Class
3387 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3388 automatically turned on for you.
3389 - added tests for this
3392 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3393 - added tests for this
3394 - added some more edge case tests

3406 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3407 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3410 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3411 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3412 - This release works in combination with
3413 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3414 release because it uses the a new
3415 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3416 complete Role implementation. It has
3417 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3418 the the previous CPAN version. This
3419 release also lacks good updated docs,
3420 the official release will have updated docs.
3423 - refactored the keyword exports
3424 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3425 accepts more than one Role at a time
3426 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3427 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3430 - refactored the keyword exports
3431 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3432 accepts more than one Role at a time
3434 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3435 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3436 string enumerations which can be used as
3438 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3441 - more careful checking of params to new()
3444 - much work done on the role composition
3445 - many new tests for conflict detection
3446 and composition edge cases

3471 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3472 thanks to chansen for this commit
