1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
9 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
10 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
12 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
16 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
17 policy. (Chris Prather)
19 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
20 on this new support policy. (doy)
24 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
25 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
26 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
28 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed all the docs. Now it's
29 listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
31 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
35 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
36 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
37 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
38 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
45 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
46 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
49 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
53 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
54 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
56 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
57 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
61 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
62 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
63 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
64 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
65 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
66 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
68 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
69 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
71 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
72 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
73 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
76 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
77 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
79 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
84 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
85 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
87 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
91 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
92 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
93 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
95 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
99 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
100 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
101 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
103 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
104 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
107 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
108 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
111 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
112 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
113 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
115 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
116 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
121 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
122 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
123 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
124 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
126 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
127 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
129 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
130 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
132 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
133 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
134 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
135 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
137 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
138 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
139 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
142 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
143 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
144 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
145 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
147 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
148 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
151 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
152 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
153 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
155 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
159 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
160 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
161 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
163 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
164 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
165 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
168 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
169 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
170 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
172 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
173 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
174 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
176 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
177 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
181 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
182 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
183 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
185 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
186 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
187 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
188 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
190 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
194 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
195 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
196 value is a reference.
198 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
199 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
201 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
205 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
206 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
207 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
209 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
213 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
214 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
218 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
219 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
220 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
222 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
223 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
224 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
226 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
230 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
232 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
236 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
238 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
239 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
244 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
245 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
247 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
248 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
249 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
250 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
251 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
253 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
254 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
255 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
256 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
258 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
262 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
263 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
268 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
270 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
272 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
277 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
279 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
283 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
284 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
285 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
287 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
288 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
289 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
290 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
292 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
293 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
294 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
295 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
296 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
299 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
304 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
305 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
306 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
307 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
308 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
311 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
315 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
318 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
319 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
323 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
324 function (not just method). (doy)
328 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
329 and aren't easily installable/testable.
331 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
335 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
336 to be overridden more easily (doy).
338 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
342 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
343 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
345 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
349 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
350 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
351 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
353 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
357 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
358 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
359 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
361 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
362 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
366 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
367 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
369 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
370 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
374 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
375 is applied to a class (t0m).
377 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
378 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
380 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
383 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
384 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
386 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
387 be much more robust. (doy)
389 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
391 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
394 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
398 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
399 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
401 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
405 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
406 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
408 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
411 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
412 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
413 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
415 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
416 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
417 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
420 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
422 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
426 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
427 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
431 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
433 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
437 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
438 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
442 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
443 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
447 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
449 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
453 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
454 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
458 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
459 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
463 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
464 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
466 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
470 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
471 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
472 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
475 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
479 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
480 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
481 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
482 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
484 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
488 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
489 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
490 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
494 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
497 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
502 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
503 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
507 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
508 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
510 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
511 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
512 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
513 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
515 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
519 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
523 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
524 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
526 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
527 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
528 - Moose::Util::does_role
529 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
530 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
531 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
533 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
537 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
538 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
539 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
542 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
546 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
547 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
550 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
554 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
555 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
558 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
562 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
564 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
565 class. (Dave Rolsky).
567 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
568 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
569 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
571 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
572 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
573 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
576 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
577 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
579 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
580 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
581 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
583 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
585 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
586 substr et al, again. (sorear)
588 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
590 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
593 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
594 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
596 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
597 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
599 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
600 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
601 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
602 dependencies installed.
604 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
605 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
608 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
610 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
614 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
616 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
617 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
618 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
620 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
621 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
622 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
624 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
625 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
628 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
629 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
630 others. (nothingmuch)
632 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
633 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
634 remove_accessors. (doy)
636 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
637 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
638 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
640 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
641 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
643 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
645 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
646 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
649 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
650 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
652 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
653 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
655 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
657 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
658 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
661 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
662 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
663 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
664 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
665 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
667 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
668 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
669 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
670 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
671 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
672 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
673 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
676 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
677 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
678 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
679 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
680 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
682 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
683 which were not receiving the value of
684 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
685 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
686 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
687 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
691 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
692 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
693 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
694 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
695 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
698 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
699 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
700 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
701 - added tests for this (Stevan)
704 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
705 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
706 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
709 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
710 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
711 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
713 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
714 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
715 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
718 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
719 class if you pass it options for
720 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
721 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
722 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
723 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
724 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
725 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
726 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
727 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
728 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
730 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
731 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
732 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
733 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
734 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
737 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
738 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
739 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
740 existing delegation API. (hdp)
742 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
743 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
744 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
745 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
746 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
747 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
750 * Moose::Error::Croak
751 * Moose::Error::Confess
752 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
753 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
756 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
759 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
760 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
761 installing a broken sub. (doy)
764 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
767 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
768 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
769 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
771 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
772 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
773 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
774 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
775 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
777 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
778 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
781 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
783 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
784 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
787 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
788 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
790 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
791 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
792 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
793 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
795 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
796 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
797 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
798 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
799 using it for new code!
801 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
802 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
803 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
804 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
806 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
807 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
808 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
809 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
810 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
811 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
812 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
813 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
816 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
819 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
820 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
823 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
824 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
826 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
827 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
828 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
831 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
832 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
833 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
836 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
837 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
839 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
840 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
841 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
844 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
845 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
846 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
847 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
848 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
849 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
851 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
853 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
856 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
857 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
858 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
860 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
861 associated_methods. (hdp)
862 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
863 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
864 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
865 misspelled) arguments
867 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
868 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
869 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
870 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
872 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
873 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
874 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
876 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
879 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
880 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
881 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
884 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
885 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
887 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
889 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
890 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
892 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
893 * Moose::Manual::Types
894 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
895 string parsing rathole (mst)
897 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
898 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
899 using plain objects instead
901 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
902 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
905 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
907 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
908 three times today (perigrin)
909 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
910 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
912 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
913 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
914 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
915 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
918 - A role's required methods are now represented by
919 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
920 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
921 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
922 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
923 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
926 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
927 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
928 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
929 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
932 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
934 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
937 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
939 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
942 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
943 during global destruction. This method has been made more
944 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
948 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
949 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
952 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
953 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
955 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
956 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
957 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
960 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
962 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
963 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
966 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
970 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
971 methods during global destruction (doy)
974 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
975 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
979 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
980 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
983 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
984 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
987 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
988 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
990 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
992 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
996 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
997 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
998 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1001 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1002 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1003 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1006 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1008 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1009 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1010 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1013 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1014 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1015 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1016 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1018 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1019 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1020 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1023 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1026 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1027 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1028 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1032 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1033 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Class
1036 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1038 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1040 * Moose::Meta::Class
1041 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1042 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1045 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1046 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1049 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1050 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1053 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1056 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1058 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1059 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1062 * Moose::Meta::Class
1063 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1065 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1066 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1069 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1070 * More deprecations and renamings
1071 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1072 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1073 when an object is constructed)
1076 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1077 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1078 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1080 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1081 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1082 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1083 feature, and it works again.
1086 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1088 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1090 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1091 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1092 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1094 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1095 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1096 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1097 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1098 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1100 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1101 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1102 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1103 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1104 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1107 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1108 metaclass object. (hdp)
1110 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1111 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1112 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1113 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1114 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1115 point out this fact. (hdp)
1117 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1118 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1120 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1121 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1123 * Moose::Meta::Class
1124 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1125 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1126 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1127 called during instance construction were passed the
1128 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1129 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1131 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1132 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1135 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1136 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1137 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1140 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1141 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1142 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1143 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1144 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1146 - Moose::Meta::Class
1147 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1149 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1150 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1151 when an object is constructed)
1152 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1154 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1155 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1156 when an object is constructed)
1157 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1158 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1159 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1162 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1164 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1165 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1167 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1169 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1170 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1171 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1173 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1174 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1175 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1177 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1179 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1180 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1182 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1183 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1186 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1187 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1190 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1191 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1192 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1194 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1195 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1199 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1200 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1201 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1203 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1204 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1207 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1208 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1209 with recommended workarounds.
1211 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1212 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1215 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1216 (yes, spelled like that).
1218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1219 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1221 * Moose::Meta::Class
1222 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1223 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1225 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1227 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1228 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1229 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1230 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1231 instead. Reported by doy.
1233 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1235 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1236 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1238 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1239 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1240 message) is now deprecated.
1241 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1242 often got it wrong. For example:
1244 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1246 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1250 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1251 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1252 bite you in weird cases.
1254 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1255 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1256 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1257 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1259 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1260 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1264 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1267 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1268 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1271 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1272 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1274 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1275 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1278 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1280 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1281 - added tests for this (stevan)
1283 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1284 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1285 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1286 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1290 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1291 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1292 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1293 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1295 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1296 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1297 - added tests for this (rafl)
1299 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1300 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1301 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1302 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1306 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1307 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1310 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1311 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1312 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1314 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1316 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1317 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1319 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1320 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1321 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1322 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1323 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1326 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1327 error message did not specify the attribute name
1330 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1332 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1334 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1335 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1336 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1338 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1339 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1342 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1344 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1345 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1346 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1347 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1349 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1351 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1352 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1353 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1354 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1356 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1357 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1358 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1360 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1361 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1362 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1363 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1364 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1366 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1367 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1368 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1369 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1370 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1372 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1373 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1374 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1375 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1376 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1377 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1379 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1380 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1381 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1382 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1383 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1384 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1386 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1387 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1389 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1390 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1391 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1392 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1394 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1395 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1398 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1402 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1403 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1405 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1406 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1407 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1408 guts. (nothingmuch).
1410 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1411 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1412 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1414 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1415 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1416 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1417 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1419 * Moose::Meta::Class
1420 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1423 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1424 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1426 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1427 * Moose::Unsweetened
1428 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1431 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1432 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1433 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1434 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1435 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1436 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1438 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1439 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1440 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1441 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1442 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1443 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1444 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1445 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1446 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1447 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1449 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1451 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1452 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1454 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1455 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1456 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1457 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1459 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1460 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1461 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1462 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1463 same methods for a single role did not work
1464 right (worked just fine with multiple
1466 - added test for this (stevan)
1468 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1469 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1470 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1473 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1474 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1475 - added test for this (t0m)
1478 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1479 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1480 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1482 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1483 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1484 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1485 - added test for this (t0m)
1487 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1488 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1489 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1490 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1491 - added test for this (perigrin)
1494 - create method for constructing a role
1495 dynamically (Sartak)
1496 - added test for this (Sartak)
1497 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1498 - added test for this (Sartak)
1501 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1503 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1504 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1505 methods is useful (Sartak)
1507 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1508 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1509 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1512 * Moose::Meta::Class
1513 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1514 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1515 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1516 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1517 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1518 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1521 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1522 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1524 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1525 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1526 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1527 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1528 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1530 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1532 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1533 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1534 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1537 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1538 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1539 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1540 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1541 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1542 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1545 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1546 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1547 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1548 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1549 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1550 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1551 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1552 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1553 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1554 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1555 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1557 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1558 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1561 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1562 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1563 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1564 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1565 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1567 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1569 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1570 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1571 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1573 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1574 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1576 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1577 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1578 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1579 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1582 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1583 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1585 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1587 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1588 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1590 * Moose::Meta::Class
1591 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1592 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1593 a required attribute
1595 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1596 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1597 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1598 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1600 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1601 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1603 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1604 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1605 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1606 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1607 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1608 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1609 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1610 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1612 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1613 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1614 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1616 * Roles and role application
1617 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1618 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1619 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1620 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1621 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1623 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1624 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1627 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1628 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1629 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1630 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1631 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1634 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1635 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1636 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1637 changes in the Moose internals.
1639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1640 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1641 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1644 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1645 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1646 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1647 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1649 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1650 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1651 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1652 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1654 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1655 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1656 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1657 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1658 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1659 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1660 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1661 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1662 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1663 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1664 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1665 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1666 constraint implementations.
1668 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1672 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1673 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1674 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1675 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1676 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1677 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1678 - added tests for this (rafl)
1680 * Moose::Meta::Class
1681 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1682 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1683 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1684 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1685 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1686 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1687 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1688 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1691 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1692 - added tests for this (thepler)
1694 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1695 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1696 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1697 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1700 * Moose::Meta::Class
1701 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1702 * Moose::Meta::Method
1705 * Moose::Error::Default
1706 * Moose::Error::Croak
1707 * Moose::Error::Confess
1708 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1709 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1710 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1711 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1712 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1713 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1715 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1717 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1718 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1720 * Moose::Unsweetened
1721 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1722 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1723 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1725 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1726 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1727 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1728 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1729 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1732 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1733 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1735 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1736 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1737 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1738 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1741 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1743 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1744 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1746 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1749 - Various bug fixes.
1751 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1752 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1754 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1756 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1757 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1758 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1759 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1760 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1761 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1763 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1764 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1765 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1767 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1768 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1769 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1772 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1773 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1774 dependency to 0.64_07.
1776 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1777 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1778 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1780 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1781 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1784 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1785 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1786 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1787 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1788 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1789 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1791 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1792 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1794 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1796 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1797 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1801 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1802 method when that method was provided by another role being
1803 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1804 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1806 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1808 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1809 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1811 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1812 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1813 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1814 - added test for this (t0m)
1816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1817 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1818 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1820 - added test for this (t0m)
1823 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1824 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1825 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1829 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1831 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1833 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1834 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1836 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1837 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1838 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1840 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1841 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1844 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1845 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1846 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1847 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1851 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1852 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1853 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1856 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1857 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1858 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1859 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1862 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1866 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1867 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1868 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1870 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1871 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1872 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1873 created so that the process can be more easily
1874 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1876 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1877 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1878 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1879 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1881 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1882 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1885 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1886 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1888 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1889 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1890 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1892 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1893 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1894 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1896 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1897 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1899 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1900 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1903 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1904 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1908 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1909 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1911 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1912 ... this is not my day today ...
1914 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1915 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1916 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1917 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1918 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1921 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1922 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1923 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1924 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1925 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1928 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1930 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1931 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1932 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1933 this is not ever something you want to do
1934 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1935 - added tests for this (stevan)
1938 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1940 - added test for this
1942 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1943 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1944 - added tests for this (wreis)
1946 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1947 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1948 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1949 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1951 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1952 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1953 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1956 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1958 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1960 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1963 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1964 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1965 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1966 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1967 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1968 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1969 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1970 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1971 - added tests for this
1973 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1974 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1975 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1976 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1978 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1980 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1981 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1982 - added tests for this (sartak)
1983 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1984 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1987 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1989 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1990 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1992 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1993 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1994 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1995 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1997 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1999 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2000 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2003 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2004 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2005 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2008 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2009 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2011 - added docs for this (TODO).
2012 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2013 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2014 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2015 - fix builder and default both being used
2020 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2022 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2023 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2024 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2028 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2032 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2033 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2034 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2036 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2037 - move the ClassName type check code to
2038 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2040 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2041 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2043 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2044 (early morning release engineering)--
2046 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2047 which was causing the indexer to choke
2049 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2050 (late night release engineering)--
2052 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2053 changes in this release

2077 - added more descriptive error message to help
2078 keep people from wasting time tracking an error

2081 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2083 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2084 XS based functionality is now optional
2085 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2086 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2087 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2089 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2090 to take care of this, mostly we added

2098 is currently not supported in roles,
2099 but, ... patches welcome

2106 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2107 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2108 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

2110 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2111 - added test for this
2113 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2157 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2160 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2161 ->body when looping through the
2162 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2164 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2165 eating the $@ values, and so not
2166 working correctly, it still kind of
2167 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2168 - added tests for this

2190 drink more coffee before
2191 doing release engineering
2193 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2194 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2195 modules. This fixes that.

2198 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2199 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2308 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2310 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2647 - fixed how required methods are handled
2648 when they encounter overriden or modified
2649 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2650 - added tests for this
2652 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2653 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2654 the | always creates a union and so is
2655 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2656 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2658 - added more tests for this
2660 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2663 * Parameterized Types
2664 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2665 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2666 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2667 They can also be nested:
2668 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2669 And work with the type unions as well:
2670 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2672 * Better Framework Extendability
2673 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2674 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2675 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2676 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2679 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2680 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2681 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2682 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2685 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2687 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2724 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2726 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2727 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2728 - updated the accompanying test as well

2733 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2734 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2735 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of

2816 to the 'handles' option.
2817 - added tests and docs for this
2818 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to

2836 the other side (perigrin)
2838 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2839 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2840 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2841 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2842 prototypes for functions
2843 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2844 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2853 - tests added for this
2854 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2857 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2858 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2859 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2860 - added tests for this
2862 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2864 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2886 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2888 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2889 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2890 so this release is just to fix that.
2893 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2894 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2895 (thanks to konobi for this)
2896 - added tests and docs
2898 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2906 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2907 functions to facilitate introspection.
2909 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2910 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2911 to build the list of delegated methods
2912 correctly (and not override important
2913 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2915 - added tests and docs for this
2916 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2917 so that you can actually document your
2918 attributes and inspect them through the
2920 - added tests and docs for this
2922 * Moose::Meta::Class
2923 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2924 it will first look in for the class in the
2925 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2926 then default to just loading $name.
2927 - added tests and docs for this
2929 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2930 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2931 - added test for this
2934 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2935 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2936 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2937 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2939 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2940 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2943 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2945 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2946 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2947 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2950 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2951 !! for this developer release to work !!
2953 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2954 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2955 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2956 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2957 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2958 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2959 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2960 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2961 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2962 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2963 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2965 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2966 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2967 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2968 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2971 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2972 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2973 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2974 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2975 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2977 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2979 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2980 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2983 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2984 called unless they actually need to be.
2985 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2986 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2987 DEMOLISH method present.
2989 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2990 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2991 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2992 type constraint, which allows for a
2993 hand optimized version of the type
2994 constraint to be used when possible.
2995 - Any internally created type constraints
2996 now provide an optimized version as well.
2998 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3000 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3001 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3002 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3004 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3005 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3006 your class namespace of these exported
3009 * Moose::Meta::Class
3010 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3011 comes up during global destruction
3013 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3017 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3020 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3021 - changed how we do type checks so that
3022 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3025 - moved accessor generation methods to
3026 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3027 conform to the API changes from
3030 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3031 - changed how constraints are compiled
3032 so that we do less recursion and more
3033 iteration. This makes the type check
3035 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3038 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3039 - created this from methods formerly found in
3040 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3042 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3043 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3045 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3046 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

3053 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3054 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3055 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3056 - added tests for this
3057 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3058 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3059 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3060 - removed tests for this
3062 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3064 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3065 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3066 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3069 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3070 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3071 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3073 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3074 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3075 comments for more info.
3078 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3079 asked questions and common problems
3081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3082 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3083 - added tests for this
3085 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3086 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3087 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3088 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3090 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3091 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3094 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3095 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3096 is much appreciated :)
3097 - added tests for this
3099 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3100 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3101 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3104 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3105 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3107 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3109 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3110 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3114 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3115 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3116 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3118 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3120 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3123 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3124 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3125 keywords because we need to localize them.
3126 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3128 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3129 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3130 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3133 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3136 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3137 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3138 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3141 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3142 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3143 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3145 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3147 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3148 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3149 bottom of your class file.
3152 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3155 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3157 - improved error message when loading modules so
3158 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3159 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3160 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3163 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3164 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3165 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3167 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3168 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3170 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3171 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3172 turn them on for you.
3173 - added tests for this
3174 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3175 in Moose::Meta::Class

3202 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3203 - This release works in combination with
3204 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3205 release because it uses the a new
3206 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3207 complete Role implementation. It has
3208 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3209 the the previous CPAN version. This
3210 release also lacks good updated docs,
3211 the official release will have updated docs.
3214 - refactored the keyword exports
3215 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3216 accepts more than one Role at a time

3222 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3223 accepts more than one Role at a time
3225 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3227 string enumerations which can be used as
3229 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3232 - more careful checking of params to new()
3235 - much work done on the role composition
3236 - many new tests for conflict detection
3237 and composition edge cases
3238 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3239 looking at the tests
3241 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3242 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3243 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3264 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3265 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3266 on a per-attribute basis
3267 - added tests for this
3268 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3269 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3270 experimental feature and probably not finished

3272 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3273 - added tests for this
