1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
9 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
10 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
12 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
13 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
18 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
19 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
20 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
23 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
24 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
26 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
27 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
29 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
30 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
31 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
34 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens is the attribute has
35 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer).
37 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
38 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder.
40 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you defined a builder
47 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
48 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
49 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
51 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
52 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
53 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
56 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
57 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
58 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
60 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
61 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
62 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
64 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
65 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
69 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
70 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
71 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
73 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
74 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
75 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
76 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
78 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
82 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
83 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
86 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
87 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
89 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
93 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
94 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
95 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
97 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
101 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
102 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
106 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
107 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
108 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
110 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
111 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
112 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
114 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
118 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
120 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
124 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
126 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
127 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
132 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
133 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
135 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
136 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
137 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
138 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
139 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
141 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
142 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
143 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
144 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
146 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
150 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
151 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
156 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
158 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
160 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
165 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
167 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
171 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
172 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
173 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
175 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
176 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
177 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
178 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
180 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
181 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
182 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
183 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
184 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
187 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
192 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
193 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
194 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
195 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
196 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
199 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
203 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
206 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
207 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
211 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
212 function (not just method). (doy)
216 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
217 and aren't easily installable/testable.
219 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
223 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
224 to be overridden more easily (doy).
226 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
230 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
231 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
233 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
237 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
238 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
239 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
241 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
245 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
246 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
247 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
249 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
250 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
254 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
255 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
257 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
258 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
262 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
263 is applied to a class (t0m).
265 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
266 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
268 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
271 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
272 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
274 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
275 be much more robust. (doy)
277 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
279 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
282 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
286 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
287 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
289 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
293 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
294 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
296 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
299 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
300 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
301 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
303 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
304 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
305 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
308 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
310 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
314 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
315 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
319 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
321 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
325 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
326 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
330 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
331 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
335 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
337 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
341 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
342 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
346 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
347 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
351 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
352 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
354 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
358 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
359 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
360 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
363 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
367 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
368 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
369 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
370 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
372 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
376 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
377 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
378 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
382 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
385 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
389 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
390 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
391 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
395 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
396 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
398 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
399 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
400 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
401 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
403 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
407 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
411 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
412 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
414 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
415 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
416 - Moose::Util::does_role
417 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
418 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
419 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
421 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
425 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
426 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
427 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
430 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
434 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
435 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
438 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
442 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
443 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
446 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
450 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
452 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
453 class. (Dave Rolsky).
455 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
456 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
457 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
459 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
460 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
461 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
464 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
465 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
467 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
468 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
469 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
471 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
473 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
474 substr et al, again. (sorear)
476 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
478 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
481 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
482 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
484 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
485 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
487 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
488 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
489 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
490 dependencies installed.
492 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
493 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
496 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
498 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
502 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
504 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
505 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
506 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
508 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
509 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
510 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
512 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
513 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
516 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
517 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
518 others. (nothingmuch)
520 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
521 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
522 remove_accessors. (doy)
524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
525 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
526 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
528 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
529 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
531 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
532 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
533 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
534 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
537 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
538 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
540 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
541 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
543 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
545 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
546 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
549 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
550 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
551 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
552 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
553 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
555 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
556 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
557 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
558 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
559 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
560 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
561 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
564 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
565 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
566 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
567 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
568 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
570 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
571 which were not receiving the value of
572 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
573 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
574 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
575 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
579 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
580 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
581 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
582 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
583 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
586 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
587 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
588 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
589 - added tests for this (Stevan)
592 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
593 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
594 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
597 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
598 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
599 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
601 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
602 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
603 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
606 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
607 class if you pass it options for
608 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
609 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
610 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
611 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
612 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
613 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
614 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
615 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
616 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
618 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
619 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
620 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
621 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
622 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
625 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
626 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
627 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
628 existing delegation API. (hdp)
630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
631 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
632 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
633 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
634 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
635 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
638 * Moose::Error::Croak
639 * Moose::Error::Confess
640 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
641 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
644 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
647 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
648 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
649 installing a broken sub. (doy)
652 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
655 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
656 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
657 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
659 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
660 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
661 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
662 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
663 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
665 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
666 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
669 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
671 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
672 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
675 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
676 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
678 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
679 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
680 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
681 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
683 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
684 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
685 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
686 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
687 using it for new code!
689 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
690 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
691 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
692 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
694 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
695 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
696 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
697 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
698 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
699 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
700 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
701 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
704 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
707 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
708 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
711 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
712 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
714 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
715 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
716 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
719 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
720 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
721 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
724 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
725 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
727 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
728 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
729 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
732 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
733 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
734 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
735 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
736 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
737 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
739 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
741 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
744 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
745 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
746 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
748 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
749 associated_methods. (hdp)
750 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
751 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
752 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
753 misspelled) arguments
755 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
756 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
757 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
758 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
760 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
761 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
762 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
764 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
767 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
768 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
769 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
772 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
773 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
775 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
777 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
778 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
780 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
781 * Moose::Manual::Types
782 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
783 string parsing rathole (mst)
785 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
786 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
787 using plain objects instead
789 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
790 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
793 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
795 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
796 three times today (perigrin)
797 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
798 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
800 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
801 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
802 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
803 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
806 - A role's required methods are now represented by
807 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
808 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
809 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
810 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
811 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
814 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
815 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
816 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
817 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
820 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
822 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
825 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
827 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
830 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
831 during global destruction. This method has been made more
832 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
836 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
837 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
840 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
841 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
843 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
844 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
845 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
848 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
850 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
851 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
854 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
858 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
859 methods during global destruction (doy)
862 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
863 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
867 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
868 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
871 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
872 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
875 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
876 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
878 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
880 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
884 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
885 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
886 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
889 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
890 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
891 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
894 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
896 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
897 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
898 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
901 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
902 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
903 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
904 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
906 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
907 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
908 of the Moose core (Sartak)
911 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
914 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
915 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
916 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
920 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
921 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
924 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
926 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
929 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
930 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
933 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
934 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
937 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
938 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
941 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
944 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
946 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
947 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
951 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
953 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
954 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
957 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
958 * More deprecations and renamings
959 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
960 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
961 when an object is constructed)
964 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
965 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
966 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
968 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
969 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
970 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
971 feature, and it works again.
974 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
976 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
978 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
979 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
980 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
982 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
983 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
984 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
985 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
986 message. Test provided by perigrin.
988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
989 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
990 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
991 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
992 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
995 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
996 metaclass object. (hdp)
998 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
999 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1000 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1001 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1002 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1003 point out this fact. (hdp)
1005 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1006 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1008 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1009 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1011 * Moose::Meta::Class
1012 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1013 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1014 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1015 called during instance construction were passed the
1016 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1017 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1019 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1020 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1023 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1024 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1025 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1028 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1029 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1030 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1031 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1032 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1034 - Moose::Meta::Class
1035 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1037 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1038 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1039 when an object is constructed)
1040 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1042 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1043 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1044 when an object is constructed)
1045 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1046 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1047 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1050 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1052 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1053 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1055 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1057 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1058 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1059 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1061 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1062 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1063 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1065 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1067 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1068 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1070 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1071 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1074 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1075 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1078 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1079 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1080 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1082 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1083 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1087 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1088 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1089 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1091 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1092 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1095 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1096 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1097 with recommended workarounds.
1099 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1100 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1103 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1104 (yes, spelled like that).
1106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1107 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1109 * Moose::Meta::Class
1110 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1111 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1113 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1115 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1116 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1117 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1118 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1119 instead. Reported by doy.
1121 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1123 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1124 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1126 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1127 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1128 message) is now deprecated.
1129 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1130 often got it wrong. For example:
1132 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1134 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1138 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1139 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1140 bite you in weird cases.
1142 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1143 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1144 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1145 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1147 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1148 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1152 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1155 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1156 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1159 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1160 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1162 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1163 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1166 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1167 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1168 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1169 - added tests for this (stevan)
1171 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1172 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1173 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1174 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1178 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1179 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1180 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1181 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1183 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1184 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1185 - added tests for this (rafl)
1187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1188 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1189 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1190 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1194 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1195 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1198 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1199 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1200 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1202 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1204 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1205 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1207 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1208 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1209 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1210 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1211 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1213 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1214 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1215 error message did not specify the attribute name
1218 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1220 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1222 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1223 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1224 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1227 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1230 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1232 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1233 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1234 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1235 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1237 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1239 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1240 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1241 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1242 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1244 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1245 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1246 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1249 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1250 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1251 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1252 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1254 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1255 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1256 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1257 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1258 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1261 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1262 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1263 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1264 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1265 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1267 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1268 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1269 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1270 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1271 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1272 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1274 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1275 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1277 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1278 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1279 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1280 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1283 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1286 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1290 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1291 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1293 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1294 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1295 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1296 guts. (nothingmuch).
1298 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1300 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1302 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1303 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1304 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1305 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1307 * Moose::Meta::Class
1308 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1311 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1312 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1314 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1315 * Moose::Unsweetened
1316 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1319 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1320 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1321 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1322 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1323 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1324 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1327 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1328 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1329 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1330 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1331 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1332 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1333 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1334 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1335 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1337 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1339 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1340 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1342 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1343 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1344 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1345 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1347 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1348 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1349 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1350 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1351 same methods for a single role did not work
1352 right (worked just fine with multiple
1354 - added test for this (stevan)
1356 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1357 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1358 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1361 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1362 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1363 - added test for this (t0m)
1366 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1367 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1368 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1370 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1371 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1372 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1373 - added test for this (t0m)
1375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1376 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1377 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1378 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1379 - added test for this (perigrin)
1382 - create method for constructing a role
1383 dynamically (Sartak)
1384 - added test for this (Sartak)
1385 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1386 - added test for this (Sartak)
1389 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1391 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1392 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1393 methods is useful (Sartak)
1395 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1397 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1400 * Moose::Meta::Class
1401 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1402 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1403 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1404 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1405 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1406 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1409 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1410 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1412 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1413 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1414 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1415 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1416 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1418 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1420 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1421 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1422 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1425 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1426 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1427 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1428 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1429 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1430 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1433 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1434 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1435 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1436 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1437 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1438 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1439 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1440 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1441 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1442 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1443 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1445 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1446 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1449 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1450 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1451 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1452 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1453 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1455 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1457 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1458 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1459 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1461 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1462 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1464 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1465 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1466 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1467 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1470 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1471 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1473 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1475 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1476 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1478 * Moose::Meta::Class
1479 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1480 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1481 a required attribute
1483 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1484 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1485 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1486 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1488 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1489 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1492 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1493 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1494 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1495 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1496 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1497 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1498 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1500 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1501 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1502 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1504 * Roles and role application
1505 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1506 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1507 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1508 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1509 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1511 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1512 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1515 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1516 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1517 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1518 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1519 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1522 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1523 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1524 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1525 changes in the Moose internals.
1527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1528 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1529 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1532 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1533 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1534 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1535 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1537 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1538 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1539 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1540 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1542 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1543 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1544 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1545 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1546 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1547 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1548 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1549 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1550 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1551 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1552 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1553 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1554 constraint implementations.
1556 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1560 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1561 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1562 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1563 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1564 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1565 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1566 - added tests for this (rafl)
1568 * Moose::Meta::Class
1569 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1570 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1571 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1572 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1573 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1574 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1575 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1576 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1579 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1580 - added tests for this (thepler)
1582 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1583 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1584 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1585 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1588 * Moose::Meta::Class
1589 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1590 * Moose::Meta::Method
1593 * Moose::Error::Default
1594 * Moose::Error::Croak
1595 * Moose::Error::Confess
1596 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1597 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1598 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1599 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1600 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1601 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1603 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1605 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1606 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1608 * Moose::Unsweetened
1609 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1610 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1611 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1614 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1615 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1616 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1617 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1620 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1621 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1623 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1624 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1625 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1626 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1629 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1631 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1632 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1634 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1637 - Various bug fixes.
1639 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1640 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1642 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1644 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1645 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1646 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1647 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1648 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1649 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1651 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1652 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1653 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1655 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1656 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1657 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1660 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1661 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1662 dependency to 0.64_07.
1664 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1665 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1666 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1668 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1669 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1672 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1673 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1674 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1675 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1676 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1677 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1679 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1680 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1682 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1684 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1685 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1689 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1690 method when that method was provided by another role being
1691 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1692 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1694 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1696 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1697 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1699 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1700 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1701 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1702 - added test for this (t0m)
1704 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1705 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1706 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1708 - added test for this (t0m)
1711 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1712 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1713 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1716 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1717 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1719 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1721 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1722 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1724 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1725 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1726 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1728 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1729 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1732 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1733 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1734 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1735 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1739 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1740 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1741 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1744 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1745 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1746 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1747 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1750 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1754 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1755 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1756 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1758 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1759 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1760 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1761 created so that the process can be more easily
1762 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1764 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1765 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1766 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1767 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1769 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1770 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1773 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1774 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1776 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1777 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1778 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1780 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1781 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1782 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1784 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1785 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1787 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1788 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1791 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1792 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1796 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1797 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1799 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1800 ... this is not my day today ...
1802 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1803 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1804 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1805 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1806 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1809 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1810 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1811 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1812 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1813 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1816 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1818 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1819 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1820 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1821 this is not ever something you want to do
1822 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1823 - added tests for this (stevan)
1826 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1828 - added test for this
1830 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1831 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1832 - added tests for this (wreis)
1834 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1835 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1836 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1837 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1839 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1840 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1841 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1844 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1846 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1848 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1851 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1852 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1853 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1854 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1855 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1856 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1857 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1858 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1859 - added tests for this
1861 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1862 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1863 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1864 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1866 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1868 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1869 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1870 - added tests for this (sartak)
1871 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1872 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1875 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()

1881 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1882 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1883 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1885 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1887 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1888 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

1920 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1921 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1922 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1924 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1925 - move the ClassName type check code to
1926 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1928 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1929 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1931 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1932 (early morning release engineering)--
1934 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1935 which was causing the indexer to choke
1937 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1938 (late night release engineering)--
1940 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1941 changes in this release
1943 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1944 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1945 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1947 * Moose::Meta::Class
1948 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1949 since it is called so often by &meta
1951 * Moose::Meta::Class
1953 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1954 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1957 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1958 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1959 method for immutablization to check if the
1960 destructor object even needs to be created
1963 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1964 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1965 - added more descriptive error message to help
1966 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1967 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1969 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1971 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1972 XS based functionality is now optional
1973 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1974 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1975 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1977 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1978 to take care of this, mostly we added
1979 support for the package_name and name
1980 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1981 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1982 support regexp matching of names
1983 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1984 - tests added for this
1985 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1986 is currently not supported in roles,
1987 but, ... patches welcome
1988 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1989 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1990 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1993 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1994 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1995 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1996 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1997 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1998 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1999 - added test for this
2001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2002 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2003 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2006 * Moose::Meta::Class
2007 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2011 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2013 - added tests for this
2014 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2015 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2017 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2018 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2019 themselves parameterizable types
2021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2022 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2023 called by the inlined immutable
2025 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2027 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2028 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2029 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2030 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2032 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2033 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2037 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2038 causing occasional cpantester failures
2039 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2040 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2042 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2044 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2045 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2048 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2049 ->body when looping through the
2050 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2052 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2053 eating the $@ values, and so not
2054 working correctly, it still kind of
2055 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2056 - added tests for this
2058 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2059 - added new recipe for immutable
2060 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2062 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2196 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2198 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2242 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2243 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2548 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2551 * Parameterized Types
2552 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2553 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2554 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2555 They can also be nested:
2556 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2557 And work with the type unions as well:
2558 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2560 * Better Framework Extendability
2561 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2562 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2563 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2564 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2567 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2568 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2569 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2570 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2738 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2739 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2740 merlyn for finding this bug
2741 - tests added for this
2742 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2745 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2746 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2747 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2748 - added tests for this
2750 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2752 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2768 * Moose::Meta::Class
2769 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2770 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2771 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2773 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2774 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2776 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2777 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2778 so this release is just to fix that.
2781 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2782 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2783 (thanks to konobi for this)
2784 - added tests and docs
2786 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2794 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2795 functions to facilitate introspection.
2797 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2798 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2799 to build the list of delegated methods
2800 correctly (and not override important
2801 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2803 - added tests and docs for this
2804 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2805 so that you can actually document your
2806 attributes and inspect them through the
2808 - added tests and docs for this
2810 * Moose::Meta::Class
2811 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2812 it will first look in for the class in the
2813 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2814 then default to just loading $name.
2815 - added tests and docs for this
2817 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2818 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2819 - added test for this
2822 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2823 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2824 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2825 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2827 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2828 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2831 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2833 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2834 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2835 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2838 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2839 !! for this developer release to work !!
2841 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2842 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2843 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2844 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2845 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2846 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2847 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2848 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2849 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2850 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2851 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2853 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2854 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2855 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2856 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2859 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2860 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2861 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2862 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2863 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2865 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2867 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2868 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2871 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2872 called unless they actually need to be.
2873 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2874 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2875 DEMOLISH method present.
2877 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2878 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2879 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2880 type constraint, which allows for a
2881 hand optimized version of the type
2882 constraint to be used when possible.
2883 - Any internally created type constraints
2884 now provide an optimized version as well.
2886 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2888 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2889 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2890 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2892 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2893 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2894 your class namespace of these exported
2897 * Moose::Meta::Class
2898 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2899 comes up during global destruction
2901 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2905 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2909 - changed how we do type checks so that
2910 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2913 - moved accessor generation methods to
2914 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2915 conform to the API changes from
2918 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2919 - changed how constraints are compiled
2920 so that we do less recursion and more
2921 iteration. This makes the type check
2923 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2926 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2927 - created this from methods formerly found in
2928 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2930 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2931 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2933 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2934 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2936 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2937 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2939 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2941 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2942 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2943 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2944 - added tests for this
2945 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2946 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2947 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2948 - removed tests for this
2950 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2952 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2953 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2954 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2957 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2958 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2959 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2961 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2962 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2963 comments for more info.
2966 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2967 asked questions and common problems
2969 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2970 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2971 - added tests for this
2973 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2974 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2975 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2976 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2978 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2979 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2982 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2983 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2984 is much appreciated :)
2985 - added tests for this
2987 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2988 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2989 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2992 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2993 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2995 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2997 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2998 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3002 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3003 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3004 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3006 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3008 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3011 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3012 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3013 keywords because we need to localize them.
3014 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3016 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3017 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3018 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3021 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3024 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3025 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3026 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3029 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3030 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3031 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3033 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3035 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3036 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3037 bottom of your class file.
3040 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3043 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3045 - improved error message when loading modules so
3046 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3047 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3048 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3051 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3052 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3053 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3055 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3056 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3058 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3059 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3060 turn them on for you.
3061 - added tests for this

3090 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3091 - This release works in combination with
3092 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3093 release because it uses the a new
3094 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3095 complete Role implementation. It has
3096 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3097 the the previous CPAN version. This
3098 release also lacks good updated docs,
3099 the official release will have updated docs.
3102 - refactored the keyword exports
3103 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3104 accepts more than one Role at a time

3115 string enumerations which can be used as
3117 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3120 - more careful checking of params to new()
3123 - much work done on the role composition
3124 - many new tests for conflict detection
3125 and composition edge cases
3126 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3127 looking at the tests
3129 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3130 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3131 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3141 - some small changes to support the new
3143 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3144 with the 'handles' option

3152 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3153 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3154 on a per-attribute basis
3155 - added tests for this
