1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
7 constraint has a coercion defined. If it doesn't, an error will be thrown
8 when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
12 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
13 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
14 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
15 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
16 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
21 * Accessors will now not be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
24 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
25 constraint parser (doy, nothingmuch).
29 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
30 and aren't easily installable/testable.
32 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
36 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
37 to be overridden more easily (doy).
39 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
43 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
44 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
46 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
50 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
51 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
52 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
54 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
58 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
59 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
60 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
62 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
63 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
67 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
68 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
70 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
71 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
75 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
76 is applied to a class (t0m).
78 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
79 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
81 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
84 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
85 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
87 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
88 be much more robust. (doy)
90 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
92 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
95 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
99 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
100 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
102 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
106 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
107 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
109 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
112 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
113 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
114 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
116 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
117 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
118 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
121 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
123 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
127 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
128 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
132 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
134 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
138 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
139 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
143 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
144 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
148 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
150 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
154 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
155 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
159 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
160 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
164 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
165 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
167 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
171 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
172 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
173 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
176 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
180 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
181 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
182 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
183 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
185 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
189 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
190 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
191 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
195 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
198 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
202 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
203 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
204 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
208 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
209 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
211 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
212 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
213 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
214 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
216 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
220 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
224 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
225 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
227 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
228 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
229 - Moose::Util::does_role
230 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
231 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
232 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
234 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
238 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
239 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
240 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
243 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
247 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
248 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
251 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
255 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
256 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
259 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
263 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
265 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
266 class. (Dave Rolsky).
268 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
269 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
270 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
272 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
273 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
274 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
277 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
278 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
280 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
281 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
282 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
284 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
286 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
287 substr et al, again. (sorear)
289 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
291 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
294 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
295 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
297 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
298 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
300 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
301 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
302 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
303 dependencies installed.
305 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
306 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
309 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
311 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
315 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
318 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
319 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
321 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
322 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
323 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
325 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
326 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
329 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
330 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
331 others. (nothingmuch)
333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
334 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
335 remove_accessors. (doy)
337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
338 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
339 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
342 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
344 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
345 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
346 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
347 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
350 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
351 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
354 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
356 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
358 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
359 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
362 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
363 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
364 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
365 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
366 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
368 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
369 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
370 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
371 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
372 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
373 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
374 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
377 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
378 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
379 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
380 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
381 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
383 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
384 which were not receiving the value of
385 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
386 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
387 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
388 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
392 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
393 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
394 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
395 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
396 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
399 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
400 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
401 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
402 - added tests for this (Stevan)
405 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
406 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
407 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
410 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
411 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
412 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
414 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
415 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
416 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
419 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
420 class if you pass it options for
421 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
422 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
423 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
424 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
425 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
426 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
427 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
428 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
429 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
431 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
432 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
433 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
434 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
435 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
438 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
439 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
440 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
441 existing delegation API. (hdp)
443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
444 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
445 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
446 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
447 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
448 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
451 * Moose::Error::Croak
452 * Moose::Error::Confess
453 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
454 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
457 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
460 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
461 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
462 installing a broken sub. (doy)
465 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
468 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
469 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
470 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
472 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
473 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
474 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
475 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
476 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
478 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
479 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
482 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
484 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
485 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
488 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
489 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
492 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
493 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
494 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
496 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
497 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
498 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
499 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
500 using it for new code!
502 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
503 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
504 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
505 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
507 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
508 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
509 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
510 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
511 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
512 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
513 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
514 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
517 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
520 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
521 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
525 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
528 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
529 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
532 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
533 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
534 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
537 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
538 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
541 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
542 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
545 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
546 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
547 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
548 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
549 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
550 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
552 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
554 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
557 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
558 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
559 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
561 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
562 associated_methods. (hdp)
563 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
564 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
565 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
566 misspelled) arguments
568 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
569 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
570 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
571 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
573 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
574 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
575 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
577 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
580 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
581 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
582 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
585 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
586 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
588 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
590 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
591 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
593 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
594 * Moose::Manual::Types
595 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
596 string parsing rathole (mst)
598 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
599 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
600 using plain objects instead
602 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
603 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
606 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
608 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
609 three times today (perigrin)
610 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
611 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
613 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
614 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
615 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
616 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
619 - A role's required methods are now represented by
620 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
621 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
622 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
623 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
624 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
627 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
628 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
629 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
630 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
633 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
635 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
638 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
640 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
643 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
644 during global destruction. This method has been made more
645 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
649 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
650 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
653 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
654 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
656 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
657 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
658 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
661 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
663 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
664 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
667 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
671 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
672 methods during global destruction (doy)
675 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
676 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
680 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
681 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
684 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
685 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
688 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
689 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
691 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
693 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
697 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
698 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
699 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
702 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
703 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
704 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
707 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
709 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
710 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
711 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
714 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
715 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
716 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
717 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
719 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
720 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
721 of the Moose core (Sartak)
724 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
727 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
728 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
729 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
733 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
734 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
737 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
739 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
742 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
743 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
746 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
747 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
750 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
751 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
754 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
757 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
759 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
760 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
764 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
766 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
767 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
770 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
771 * More deprecations and renamings
772 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
773 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
774 when an object is constructed)
777 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
778 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
779 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
782 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
783 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
784 feature, and it works again.
787 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
789 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
791 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
792 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
793 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
795 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
796 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
797 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
798 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
799 message. Test provided by perigrin.
801 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
802 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
803 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
804 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
805 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
808 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
809 metaclass object. (hdp)
811 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
812 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
813 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
814 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
815 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
816 point out this fact. (hdp)
818 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
819 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
821 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
822 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
825 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
826 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
827 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
828 called during instance construction were passed the
829 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
830 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
832 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
833 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
836 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
837 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
838 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
841 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
842 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
843 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
844 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
845 them, but they are not for "public" use.
848 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
850 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
851 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
852 when an object is constructed)
853 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
855 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
856 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
857 when an object is constructed)
858 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
859 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
860 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
863 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
865 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
866 * No changes from 0.72_01.
868 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
870 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
871 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
872 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
874 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
875 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
876 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
878 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
880 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
881 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
883 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
884 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
887 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
888 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
891 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
892 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
893 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
895 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
896 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
900 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
901 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
902 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
904 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
905 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
908 * Moose::Manual::Delta
909 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
910 with recommended workarounds.
912 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
913 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
915 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
916 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
917 (yes, spelled like that).
919 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
920 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
923 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
924 changes in latest Class::MOP.
926 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
928 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
929 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
930 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
931 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
932 instead. Reported by doy.
934 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
936 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
937 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
939 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
940 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
941 message) is now deprecated.
942 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
943 often got it wrong. For example:
945 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
947 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
951 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
952 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
953 bite you in weird cases.
955 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
956 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
957 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
960 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
961 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
965 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
968 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
969 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
972 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
973 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
975 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
976 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
979 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
980 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
981 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
982 - added tests for this (stevan)
984 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
985 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
986 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
987 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
991 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
992 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
993 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
994 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
996 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
997 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
998 - added tests for this (rafl)
1000 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1001 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1002 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1003 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1007 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1008 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1011 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1012 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1013 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1015 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1017 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1018 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1020 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1021 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1022 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1023 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1024 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1026 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1027 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1028 error message did not specify the attribute name
1031 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1033 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1035 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1036 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1037 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1039 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1040 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1043 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1045 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1046 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1047 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1048 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1050 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1052 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1053 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1054 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1055 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1058 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1059 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1061 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1062 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1063 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1064 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1065 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1067 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1068 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1069 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1070 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1071 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1073 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1074 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1075 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1076 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1077 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1078 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1080 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1081 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1082 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1083 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1084 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1085 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1087 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1088 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1090 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1091 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1092 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1093 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1095 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1096 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1099 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1103 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1104 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1106 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1107 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1108 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1109 guts. (nothingmuch).
1111 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1112 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1113 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1115 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1116 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1117 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1118 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1120 * Moose::Meta::Class
1121 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1124 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1125 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1127 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1128 * Moose::Unsweetened
1129 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1132 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1133 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1134 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1135 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1136 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1137 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1139 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1140 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1141 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1142 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1143 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1144 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1145 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1146 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1147 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1148 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1150 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1152 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1153 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1155 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1156 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1157 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1158 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1160 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1161 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1162 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1163 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1164 same methods for a single role did not work
1165 right (worked just fine with multiple
1167 - added test for this (stevan)
1169 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1170 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1171 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1174 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1175 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1176 - added test for this (t0m)
1179 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1180 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1181 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1183 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1184 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1185 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1186 - added test for this (t0m)
1188 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1189 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1190 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1191 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1192 - added test for this (perigrin)
1195 - create method for constructing a role
1196 dynamically (Sartak)
1197 - added test for this (Sartak)
1198 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1199 - added test for this (Sartak)
1202 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1204 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1205 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1206 methods is useful (Sartak)
1208 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1209 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1210 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1213 * Moose::Meta::Class
1214 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1215 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1216 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1217 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1218 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1219 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1222 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1223 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1225 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1226 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1227 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1228 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1229 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1231 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1233 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1234 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1235 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1238 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1239 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1240 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1241 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1242 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1243 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1246 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1247 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1248 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1249 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1250 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1251 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1252 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1253 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1254 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1255 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1256 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1258 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1259 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1263 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1264 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1265 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1266 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1268 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1270 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1271 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1272 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1274 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1275 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1277 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1278 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1279 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1280 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1283 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1284 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1286 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1288 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1289 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1291 * Moose::Meta::Class
1292 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1293 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1294 a required attribute
1296 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1297 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1298 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1299 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1302 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1304 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1305 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1306 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1307 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1308 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1309 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1310 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1311 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1313 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1314 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1315 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1317 * Roles and role application
1318 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1319 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1320 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1321 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1322 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1324 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1325 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1328 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1329 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1330 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1331 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1332 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1335 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1336 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1337 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1338 changes in the Moose internals.
1340 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1342 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1345 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1346 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1347 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1348 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1350 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1351 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1352 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1353 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1355 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1356 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1357 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1358 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1359 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1360 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1361 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1362 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1363 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1364 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1365 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1366 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1367 constraint implementations.
1369 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1373 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1374 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1375 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1376 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1377 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1378 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1379 - added tests for this (rafl)
1381 * Moose::Meta::Class
1382 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1383 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1384 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1385 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1386 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1387 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1388 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1389 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1392 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1393 - added tests for this (thepler)
1395 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1396 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1397 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1398 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1401 * Moose::Meta::Class
1402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1403 * Moose::Meta::Method
1406 * Moose::Error::Default
1407 * Moose::Error::Croak
1408 * Moose::Error::Confess
1409 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1410 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1411 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1412 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1413 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1414 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1416 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1418 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1419 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1421 * Moose::Unsweetened
1422 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1423 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1424 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1426 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1427 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1428 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1429 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1430 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1433 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1434 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1436 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1437 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1438 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1439 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1458 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1459 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

1478 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1479 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1481 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1482 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1485 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1486 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1487 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1488 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1489 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1490 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1492 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1493 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1495 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1497 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1498 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1502 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1503 method when that method was provided by another role being
1504 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1505 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1507 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1515 - added test for this (t0m)
1517 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1518 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1519 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1521 - added test for this (t0m)
1524 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1525 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1526 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1529 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1530 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1532 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1534 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1535 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1537 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1538 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1539 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1541 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1542 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1545 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

1548 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1552 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1553 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1554 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1558 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1559 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1560 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1563 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1567 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1572 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1573 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1574 created so that the process can be more easily

1600 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1601 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1604 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1605 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1609 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1610 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1612 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1613 ... this is not my day today ...
1615 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1616 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1617 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1618 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1619 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1622 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1623 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1624 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1625 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1626 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1629 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1631 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1632 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1633 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1634 this is not ever something you want to do
1635 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1636 - added tests for this (stevan)
1639 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1641 - added test for this

1653 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1654 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1657 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1659 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1661 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1664 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1665 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1666 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1667 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1668 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1669 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1670 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1671 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1672 - added tests for this
1674 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1675 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1676 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1677 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1679 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1748 which was causing the indexer to choke
1750 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1751 (late night release engineering)--

1770 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1771 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1772 method for immutablization to check if the
1773 destructor object even needs to be created
1776 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1777 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1778 - added more descriptive error message to help
1779 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1780 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1782 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1784 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1785 XS based functionality is now optional
1786 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1787 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1788 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1790 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1791 to take care of this, mostly we added
1792 support for the package_name and name

1795 support regexp matching of names
1796 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1798 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1799 is currently not supported in roles,
1800 but, ... patches welcome

1807 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1808 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1809 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1810 same array ref form that Moose.pm does

1812 - added test for this
1814 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1815 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1816 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1819 * Moose::Meta::Class
1820 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1824 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1826 - added tests for this
1827 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1828 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1840 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1841 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1842 (if possible) to create the anon-class

1861 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1862 ->body when looping through the
1863 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1865 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1866 eating the $@ values, and so not
1867 working correctly, it still kind of
1868 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1869 - added tests for this
1871 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1872 - added new recipe for immutable
1873 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1875 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1891 drink more coffee before
1892 doing release engineering
1894 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2009 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2011 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2038 - added tests for this
2040 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2041 - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a

2055 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2056 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2059 - added more delegation tests
2060 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2061 support traits and their introspection.
2062 - added tests for this

2302 - added tests for this
2305 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2306 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2345 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2348 - fixed how required methods are handled
2349 when they encounter overriden or modified
2350 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2351 - added tests for this
2353 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2354 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2355 the | always creates a union and so is
2356 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2357 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2359 - added more tests for this
2361 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2364 * Parameterized Types
2365 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2366 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2367 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2368 They can also be nested:
2369 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2370 And work with the type unions as well:
2371 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2373 * Better Framework Extendability
2374 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2375 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2376 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2377 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2380 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2381 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2382 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2383 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2386 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2388 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2389 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2542 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2543 prototypes for functions
2544 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings

2617 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2618 so that you can actually document your
2619 attributes and inspect them through the

2623 * Moose::Meta::Class
2624 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2625 it will first look in for the class in the
2626 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2627 then default to just loading $name.
2628 - added tests and docs for this
2630 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2631 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2632 - added test for this

2637 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2638 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2640 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2641 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2644 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2646 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2647 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2648 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2651 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2652 !! for this developer release to work !!
2654 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2655 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2656 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2657 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2658 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2659 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2660 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2661 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2662 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2663 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2664 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2666 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2667 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2668 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2669 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2672 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2673 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2674 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2675 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2676 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2678 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2680 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2681 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2684 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2685 called unless they actually need to be.
2686 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2687 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2688 DEMOLISH method present.
2690 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2691 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2692 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2693 type constraint, which allows for a
2694 hand optimized version of the type
2695 constraint to be used when possible.
2696 - Any internally created type constraints
2697 now provide an optimized version as well.
2699 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2701 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2702 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2703 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2706 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2707 your class namespace of these exported
2710 * Moose::Meta::Class
2711 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2712 comes up during global destruction
2714 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2718 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2721 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2722 - changed how we do type checks so that
2723 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2726 - moved accessor generation methods to
2727 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2728 conform to the API changes from
2731 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2732 - changed how constraints are compiled
2733 so that we do less recursion and more
2734 iteration. This makes the type check
2736 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2739 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2740 - created this from methods formerly found in
2741 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2743 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2744 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2747 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2749 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2750 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2752 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2754 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2755 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2756 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2757 - added tests for this
2758 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2759 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2760 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2761 - removed tests for this
2763 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2765 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2766 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2767 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2770 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2771 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2772 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2774 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2775 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2776 comments for more info.
2779 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2780 asked questions and common problems
2782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2783 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2784 - added tests for this
2786 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2787 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2788 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2789 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2791 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2792 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2795 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2796 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2797 is much appreciated :)
2798 - added tests for this
2800 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2801 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2802 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2805 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2806 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2808 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2810 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2811 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2815 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2816 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2817 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2819 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2821 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2824 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2825 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2826 keywords because we need to localize them.
2827 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2829 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2830 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2831 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2834 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2837 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2838 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2839 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2842 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2843 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2844 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2846 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2848 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2849 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2850 bottom of your class file.
2853 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2856 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2858 - improved error message when loading modules so
2859 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2860 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2861 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2864 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2865 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2866 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2868 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2869 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2871 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2872 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2873 turn them on for you.
2874 - added tests for this
2875 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2876 in Moose::Meta::Class
2879 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2880 automatically turned on for you.

2884 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2885 - added tests for this

2902 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2903 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2904 - This release works in combination with
2905 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2906 release because it uses the a new
2907 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2908 complete Role implementation. It has
2909 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2910 the the previous CPAN version. This
2911 release also lacks good updated docs,
2912 the official release will have updated docs.
2915 - refactored the keyword exports
2916 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2917 accepts more than one Role at a time
2918 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2919 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2922 - refactored the keyword exports
2923 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2924 accepts more than one Role at a time
2926 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2927 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2928 string enumerations which can be used as
2930 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2933 - more careful checking of params to new()
2936 - much work done on the role composition
2937 - many new tests for conflict detection
2938 and composition edge cases
2939 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2940 looking at the tests
2942 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2943 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2944 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2946 * Moose::Meta::Class
2947 - some small changes to support the new
2949 - some small additions to support Roles
2951 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2952 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2954 - some small changes to support the new
2956 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2957 with the 'handles' option
2958 - added several tests for this
2959 - no docs for this yet
2961 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2963 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2964 thanks to chansen for this commit
2965 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2966 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2967 on a per-attribute basis
2968 - added tests for this
2969 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2970 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2971 experimental feature and probably not finished
2972 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2973 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2974 - added tests for this
