1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
10 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
11 immutable classes). (mo)
13 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
14 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
15 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
17 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
21 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
23 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
25 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
29 * Fix some indexing issues.
31 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
33 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
37 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
38 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
39 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
40 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
41 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
43 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
44 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
49 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
50 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
51 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
52 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
54 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
55 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
56 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
60 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
61 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
64 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
68 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
69 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
70 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
71 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
74 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
78 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
81 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
85 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
86 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
87 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
89 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
93 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
94 policy. (Chris Prather)
96 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
97 on this new support policy. (doy)
101 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
102 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
103 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
105 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
106 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
108 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
112 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
113 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
114 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
115 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
118 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
122 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
123 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
126 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
130 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
131 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
133 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
134 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
138 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
139 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
140 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
141 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
142 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
143 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
145 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
146 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
148 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
149 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
150 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
151 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
153 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
154 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
156 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
161 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
162 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
164 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
168 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
169 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
170 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
172 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
176 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
177 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
178 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
180 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
181 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
184 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
185 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
188 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
189 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
190 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
192 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
193 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
198 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
199 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
200 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
201 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
203 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
204 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
206 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
207 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
209 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
210 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
211 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
212 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
214 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
215 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
216 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
219 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
220 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
221 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
222 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
224 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
225 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
228 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
229 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
230 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
232 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
236 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
237 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
238 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
240 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
241 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
242 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
245 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
246 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
247 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
249 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
250 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
251 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
253 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
254 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
258 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
259 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
260 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
262 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
263 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
264 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
265 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
267 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
271 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
272 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
273 value is a reference.
275 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
276 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
278 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
282 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
283 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
284 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
286 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
290 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
291 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
295 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
296 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
297 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
299 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
300 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
301 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
303 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
307 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
309 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
313 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
315 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
316 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
321 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
322 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
324 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
325 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
326 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
327 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
328 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
330 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
331 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
332 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
333 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
335 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
339 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
340 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
345 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
347 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
349 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
354 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
356 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
360 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
361 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
362 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
364 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
365 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
366 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
367 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
369 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
370 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
371 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
372 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
373 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
376 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
381 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
382 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
383 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
384 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
385 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
388 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
392 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
395 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
396 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
400 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
401 function (not just method). (doy)
405 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
406 and aren't easily installable/testable.
408 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
412 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
413 to be overridden more easily (doy).
415 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
419 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
420 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
422 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
426 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
427 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
428 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
430 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
434 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
435 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
436 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
438 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
439 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
443 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
444 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
446 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
447 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
451 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
452 is applied to a class (t0m).
454 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
455 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
457 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
460 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
461 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
463 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
464 be much more robust. (doy)
466 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
468 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
471 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
475 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
476 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
478 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
482 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
483 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
485 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
488 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
489 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
490 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
492 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
493 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
494 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
497 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
499 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
503 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
504 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
508 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
510 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
514 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
515 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
519 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
520 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
524 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
526 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
530 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
531 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
535 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
536 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
540 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
541 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
543 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
547 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
548 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
549 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
552 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
556 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
557 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
558 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
559 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
561 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
565 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
566 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
567 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
571 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
574 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
578 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
579 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
580 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
584 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
585 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
587 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
588 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
589 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
590 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
592 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
596 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
600 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
601 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
603 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
604 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
605 - Moose::Util::does_role
606 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
607 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
608 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
610 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
614 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
615 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
616 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
619 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
623 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
624 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
627 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
631 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
632 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
635 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
639 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
641 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
642 class. (Dave Rolsky).
644 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
645 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
646 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
648 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
649 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
650 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
653 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
654 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
656 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
657 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
658 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
660 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
662 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
663 substr et al, again. (sorear)
665 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
667 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
670 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
671 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
673 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
674 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
676 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
677 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
678 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
679 dependencies installed.
681 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
682 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
685 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
687 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
691 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
693 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
694 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
695 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
698 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
699 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
701 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
702 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
705 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
706 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
707 others. (nothingmuch)
709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
710 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
711 remove_accessors. (doy)
713 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
714 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
715 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
718 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
720 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
722 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
723 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
726 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
727 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
729 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
730 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
732 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
734 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
735 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
738 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
739 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
740 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
741 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
742 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
744 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
745 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
746 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
747 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
748 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
749 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
750 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
753 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
754 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
755 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
756 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
757 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
759 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
760 which were not receiving the value of
761 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
762 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
763 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
764 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
768 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
769 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
770 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
771 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
772 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
775 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
776 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
777 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
778 - added tests for this (Stevan)
781 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
782 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
783 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
786 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
787 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
788 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
790 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
791 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
792 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
795 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
796 class if you pass it options for
797 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
798 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
799 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
800 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
801 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
802 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
803 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
804 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
805 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
807 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
808 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
809 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
810 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
811 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
814 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
815 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
816 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
817 existing delegation API. (hdp)
819 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
820 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
821 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
822 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
823 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
824 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
827 * Moose::Error::Croak
828 * Moose::Error::Confess
829 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
830 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
833 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
836 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
837 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
838 installing a broken sub. (doy)
841 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
844 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
845 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
846 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
848 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
849 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
850 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
851 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
852 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
854 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
855 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
858 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
860 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
861 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
864 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
865 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
867 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
868 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
869 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
870 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
872 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
873 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
874 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
875 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
876 using it for new code!
878 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
879 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
880 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
881 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
883 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
884 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
885 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
886 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
887 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
888 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
889 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
890 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
893 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
896 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
897 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
900 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
901 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
903 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
904 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
905 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
908 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
909 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
910 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
913 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
914 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
916 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
917 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
918 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
921 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
922 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
923 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
924 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
925 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
926 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
928 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
930 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
933 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
934 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
935 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
937 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
938 associated_methods. (hdp)
939 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
940 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
941 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
942 misspelled) arguments
944 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
945 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
946 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
947 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
949 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
950 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
951 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
953 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
957 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
958 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
961 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
962 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
964 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
966 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
967 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
969 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
970 * Moose::Manual::Types
971 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
972 string parsing rathole (mst)
974 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
975 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
976 using plain objects instead
978 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
979 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
982 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
984 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
985 three times today (perigrin)
986 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
987 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
989 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
990 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
991 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
992 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
995 - A role's required methods are now represented by
996 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
997 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
998 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
999 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1000 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1003 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1004 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1005 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1006 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1009 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1011 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1014 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1016 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1019 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1020 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1021 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1025 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1026 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1029 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1030 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1032 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1033 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1034 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1036 * Moose::Unsweetened
1037 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1039 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1040 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1043 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1047 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1048 methods during global destruction (doy)
1050 * Moose::Meta::Class
1051 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1052 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1053 consumption (Sartak)
1055 * Moose::Meta::Class
1056 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1057 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1060 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1061 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1064 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1065 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1067 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1069 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1073 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1074 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1075 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1078 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1079 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1080 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1083 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1085 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1086 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1087 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1090 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1091 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1092 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1093 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1095 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1096 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1097 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1100 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1103 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1104 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1105 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1109 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1110 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1112 * Moose::Meta::Class
1113 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1115 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1117 * Moose::Meta::Class
1118 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1119 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1122 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1123 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1126 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1127 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1130 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1133 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1135 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1136 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1139 * Moose::Meta::Class
1140 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1142 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1143 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1146 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1147 * More deprecations and renamings
1148 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1149 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1150 when an object is constructed)
1153 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1154 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1155 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1158 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1159 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1160 feature, and it works again.
1163 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1165 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1167 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1168 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1169 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1171 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1172 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1173 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1174 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1175 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1177 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1178 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1179 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1180 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1181 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1184 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1185 metaclass object. (hdp)
1187 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1188 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1189 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1190 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1191 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1192 point out this fact. (hdp)
1194 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1195 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1197 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1198 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1200 * Moose::Meta::Class
1201 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1202 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1203 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1204 called during instance construction were passed the
1205 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1206 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1208 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1209 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1212 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1213 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1214 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1217 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1218 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1219 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1220 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1221 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1223 - Moose::Meta::Class
1224 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1226 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1227 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1228 when an object is constructed)
1229 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1231 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1232 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1233 when an object is constructed)
1234 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1235 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1236 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1239 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1241 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1242 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1244 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1246 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1247 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1248 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1250 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1251 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1252 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1254 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1256 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1257 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1259 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1260 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1263 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1264 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1267 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1268 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1269 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1271 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1272 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1276 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1277 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1278 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1280 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1281 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1284 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1285 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1286 with recommended workarounds.
1288 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1289 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1291 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1292 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1293 (yes, spelled like that).
1295 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1296 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1298 * Moose::Meta::Class
1299 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1300 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1302 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1304 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1305 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1306 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1307 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1308 instead. Reported by doy.
1310 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1312 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1313 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1315 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1316 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1317 message) is now deprecated.
1318 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1319 often got it wrong. For example:
1321 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1323 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1327 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1328 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1329 bite you in weird cases.
1331 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1332 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1333 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1334 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1336 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1337 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1341 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1344 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1345 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1348 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1349 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1351 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1352 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1355 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1356 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1357 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1358 - added tests for this (stevan)
1360 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1361 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1362 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1363 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1367 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1368 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1369 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1370 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1372 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1373 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1374 - added tests for this (rafl)
1376 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1377 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1378 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1379 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1383 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1384 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1387 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1388 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1389 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1391 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1393 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1394 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1396 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1397 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1398 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1399 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1400 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1402 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1403 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1404 error message did not specify the attribute name
1407 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1409 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1411 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1412 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1413 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1416 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1419 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1421 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1422 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1423 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1424 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1426 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1428 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1429 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1430 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1431 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1434 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1435 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1438 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1439 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1440 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1441 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1443 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1444 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1445 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1446 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1447 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1449 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1450 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1451 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1452 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1453 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1454 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1456 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1457 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1458 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1459 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1460 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1461 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1463 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1464 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1466 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1467 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1468 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1469 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1471 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1472 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1475 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1479 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1480 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1482 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1483 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1484 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1485 guts. (nothingmuch).
1487 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1488 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1489 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1492 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1493 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1494 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1496 * Moose::Meta::Class
1497 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1500 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1501 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1503 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1504 * Moose::Unsweetened
1505 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1508 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1509 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1510 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1511 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1512 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1513 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1515 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1516 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1517 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1518 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1519 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1520 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1521 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1522 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1523 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1524 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1526 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1528 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1529 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1531 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1532 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1533 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1534 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1536 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1537 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1538 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1539 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1540 same methods for a single role did not work
1541 right (worked just fine with multiple
1543 - added test for this (stevan)
1545 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1546 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1547 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1550 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1551 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1552 - added test for this (t0m)
1555 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1556 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1557 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1559 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1560 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1561 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1562 - added test for this (t0m)
1564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1565 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1566 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1567 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1568 - added test for this (perigrin)
1571 - create method for constructing a role
1572 dynamically (Sartak)
1573 - added test for this (Sartak)
1574 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1575 - added test for this (Sartak)
1578 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1580 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1581 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1582 methods is useful (Sartak)
1584 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1585 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1586 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1589 * Moose::Meta::Class
1590 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1591 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1592 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1593 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1594 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1595 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1598 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1599 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1601 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1602 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1603 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1604 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1605 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1607 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1609 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1610 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1611 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1614 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1615 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1616 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1617 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1618 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1619 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1622 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1623 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1624 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1625 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1626 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1627 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1628 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1629 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1630 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1631 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1632 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1634 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1635 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1638 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1639 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1640 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1641 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1642 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1644 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1646 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1647 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1648 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1650 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1651 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1653 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1654 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1655 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1656 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1659 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1660 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1662 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1664 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1665 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1667 * Moose::Meta::Class
1668 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1669 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1670 a required attribute
1672 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1673 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1674 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1675 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1677 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1678 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1680 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1681 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1682 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1683 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1684 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1685 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1686 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1687 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1689 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1690 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1691 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1693 * Roles and role application
1694 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1695 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1696 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1697 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1698 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1700 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1701 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1704 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1705 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1706 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1707 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1708 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1711 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1712 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1713 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1714 changes in the Moose internals.
1716 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1718 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1721 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1722 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1723 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1724 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1726 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1727 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1728 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1729 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1731 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1732 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1733 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1734 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1735 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1736 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1737 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1738 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1739 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1740 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1741 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1742 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1743 constraint implementations.
1745 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1749 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1750 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1751 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1752 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1753 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1754 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1755 - added tests for this (rafl)
1757 * Moose::Meta::Class
1758 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1759 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1760 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1761 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1762 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1763 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1764 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1765 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1768 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1769 - added tests for this (thepler)
1771 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1772 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1773 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1774 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1777 * Moose::Meta::Class
1778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1779 * Moose::Meta::Method
1782 * Moose::Error::Default
1783 * Moose::Error::Croak
1784 * Moose::Error::Confess
1785 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1786 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1787 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1788 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1789 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1790 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1792 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1794 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1795 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1797 * Moose::Unsweetened
1798 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1799 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1800 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1803 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1804 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1805 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1806 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1809 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1810 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1812 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1813 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1814 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1815 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1818 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1820 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1821 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1823 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1826 - Various bug fixes.
1828 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1829 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1831 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1833 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1834 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1835 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1836 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1837 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1838 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1840 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1841 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1842 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1844 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1845 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1846 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1849 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1850 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1851 dependency to 0.64_07.
1853 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1854 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1855 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1857 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1858 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1861 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1862 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1863 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1864 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1865 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1866 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1868 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1869 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1871 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1873 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1874 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1878 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1879 method when that method was provided by another role being
1880 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1881 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1883 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1885 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1886 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1888 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1889 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1890 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1891 - added test for this (t0m)
1893 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1894 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1895 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1897 - added test for this (t0m)
1900 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1901 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1902 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1905 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1906 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1908 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1910 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1911 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1913 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1914 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1915 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1917 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1918 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1921 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1922 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1923 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1924 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1928 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1929 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1930 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1933 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1934 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1935 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1936 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1939 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1943 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1944 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1945 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1947 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1948 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1949 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1950 created so that the process can be more easily
1951 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1953 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1954 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1955 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1956 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1958 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1959 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1962 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1963 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1965 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1966 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1967 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1969 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1970 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1971 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1973 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1974 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1976 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1977 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1980 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1981 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1985 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1986 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1988 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1989 ... this is not my day today ...
1991 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1992 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1993 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1994 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1995 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1998 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1999 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2000 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2001 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2002 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2005 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2007 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2008 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2009 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2010 this is not ever something you want to do
2011 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2012 - added tests for this (stevan)
2015 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2017 - added test for this
2019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2020 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2021 - added tests for this (wreis)
2023 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2024 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2025 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2026 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2028 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2029 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2030 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2033 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2035 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2037 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2040 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2041 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2042 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2043 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2044 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2045 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2046 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2047 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2048 - added tests for this

2385 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2387 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2735 - added more tests for this
2737 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2740 * Parameterized Types
2741 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2742 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2743 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2744 They can also be nested:
2745 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2746 And work with the type unions as well:
2747 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2749 * Better Framework Extendability
2750 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2751 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2752 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2753 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2756 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2757 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2758 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2759 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2762 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2764 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2765 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2814 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2816 - added tests for this
2818 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2824 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2825 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2827 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2844 (thanks to shlomif).
2846 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2847 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2848 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2849 - added tests for this

2886 - added tests for these
2888 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2889 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2891 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2892 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2893 to the 'handles' option.
2894 - added tests and docs for this

2896 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
2897 (but not changing the handles option)
2898 - added tests and docs for this
2901 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2902 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2903 - adjusted tests for this
2905 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2906 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2907 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2913 the other side (perigrin)
2915 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2916 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2917 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2918 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2919 prototypes for functions
2920 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2921 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2929 merlyn for finding this bug
2930 - tests added for this
2931 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2934 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2935 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2936 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2937 - added tests for this
2939 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2941 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2957 * Moose::Meta::Class
2958 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2959 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2960 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2962 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2963 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2965 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2966 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2967 so this release is just to fix that.
2970 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2971 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2972 (thanks to konobi for this)
2973 - added tests and docs
2975 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2976 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2979 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2980 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2981 - added tests for this

2983 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2984 functions to facilitate introspection.
2986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2987 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2988 to build the list of delegated methods
2989 correctly (and not override important
2990 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2992 - added tests and docs for this
2993 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2994 so that you can actually document your
2995 attributes and inspect them through the
2997 - added tests and docs for this
2999 * Moose::Meta::Class
3000 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3001 it will first look in for the class in the
3002 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3003 then default to just loading $name.
3004 - added tests and docs for this
3006 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3007 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3008 - added test for this
3011 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3012 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3013 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3014 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3016 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3017 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3020 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3022 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3023 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3024 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3027 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3028 !! for this developer release to work !!
3030 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3031 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3032 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3033 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3034 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3035 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3036 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3037 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3038 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3039 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3040 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3042 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3043 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3044 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3045 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3048 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3049 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3050 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3051 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3052 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3054 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3056 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3057 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3060 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3061 called unless they actually need to be.
3062 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3063 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3064 DEMOLISH method present.
3066 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3067 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3068 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3069 type constraint, which allows for a
3070 hand optimized version of the type
3071 constraint to be used when possible.
3072 - Any internally created type constraints
3073 now provide an optimized version as well.
3075 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3077 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3078 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3079 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3082 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3083 your class namespace of these exported
3086 * Moose::Meta::Class
3087 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3088 comes up during global destruction
3090 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3094 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3097 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3098 - changed how we do type checks so that
3099 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3102 - moved accessor generation methods to
3103 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3104 conform to the API changes from
3107 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3108 - changed how constraints are compiled
3109 so that we do less recursion and more
3110 iteration. This makes the type check
3112 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3115 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3116 - created this from methods formerly found in
3117 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3119 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3120 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3122 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3123 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3125 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3126 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3128 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3131 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3132 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3133 - added tests for this
3134 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3135 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3136 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3137 - removed tests for this
3139 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3141 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3142 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3143 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3146 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3147 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3148 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3150 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3151 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3152 comments for more info.
3155 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3156 asked questions and common problems
3158 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3159 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3160 - added tests for this
3162 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3163 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3164 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3165 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3167 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3168 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3171 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3172 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3173 is much appreciated :)
3174 - added tests for this
3176 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3177 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3178 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3182 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3184 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3186 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3187 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3191 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3192 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3193 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3195 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3197 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3200 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3201 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3202 keywords because we need to localize them.
3203 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3205 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3206 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3207 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3210 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3213 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3214 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3215 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3218 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3219 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3220 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3222 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3224 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3225 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3226 bottom of your class file.
3229 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3232 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3234 - improved error message when loading modules so
3235 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3236 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3237 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3240 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3241 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3242 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3244 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3245 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3247 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3248 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3249 turn them on for you.
3250 - added tests for this
3251 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3252 in Moose::Meta::Class

3279 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3280 - This release works in combination with
3281 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3282 release because it uses the a new
3283 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3284 complete Role implementation. It has
3285 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3286 the the previous CPAN version. This
3287 release also lacks good updated docs,
3288 the official release will have updated docs.
3291 - refactored the keyword exports
3292 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3293 accepts more than one Role at a time
3294 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3295 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3298 - refactored the keyword exports
3299 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3300 accepts more than one Role at a time
3302 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3304 string enumerations which can be used as
3306 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3309 - more careful checking of params to new()
3312 - much work done on the role composition
3313 - many new tests for conflict detection
3314 and composition edge cases
3315 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3316 looking at the tests
3318 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3319 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3320 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3335 - no docs for this yet
3337 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3339 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3340 thanks to chansen for this commit
3341 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3342 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3343 on a per-attribute basis
3344 - added tests for this
3345 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3346 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3347 experimental feature and probably not finished
3348 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3349 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3350 - added tests for this
3353 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3365 construct_instance (for the better)
3367 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3412 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3414 - added test for this
3417 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3418 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
