1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
10 * Include changes from 2.0010.
12 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
16 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
17 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
21 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
22 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
23 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
28 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
30 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
34 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
35 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
37 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
41 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
43 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
47 * Various packaging issues.
49 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
53 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
54 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
59 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
60 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
61 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
65 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
66 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
67 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
69 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
73 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
74 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
76 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
80 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
81 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
83 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
86 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
87 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
91 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
92 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
94 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
98 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
99 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
103 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
105 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
109 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
111 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
115 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
116 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
118 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
122 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
124 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
128 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
130 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
131 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
133 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
137 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
138 skips every other role. (rjbs)
140 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
141 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
142 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
143 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
144 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
146 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
150 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
151 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
152 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
155 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
160 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
162 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
163 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
165 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
169 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
170 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
171 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
175 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
176 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
178 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
179 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
181 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
182 environments. (doy, mateu)
184 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
188 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
189 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
190 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
191 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
195 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
196 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
198 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
202 * Update conflicts list.
205 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
209 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
210 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
211 details. (Dave Rolsky)
213 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
214 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
215 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
216 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
217 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
221 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
222 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
223 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
224 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
225 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
228 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
232 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
233 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
235 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
238 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
242 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
243 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
244 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
245 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
247 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
248 immutable classes). (mo)
250 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
251 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
252 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
254 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
258 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
260 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
262 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
266 * Fix some indexing issues.
268 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
270 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
274 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
275 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
276 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
277 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
278 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
280 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
281 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
286 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
287 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
288 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
289 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
291 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
292 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
293 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
297 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
298 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
301 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
305 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
306 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
310 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
314 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
315 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
316 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
317 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
320 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
324 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
327 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
331 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
332 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
333 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
336 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
340 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
341 policy. (Chris Prather)
343 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
344 on this new support policy. (doy)
348 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
349 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
350 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
352 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
353 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
355 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
359 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
360 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
361 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
362 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
365 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
369 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
370 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
373 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
377 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
378 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
380 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
381 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
385 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
386 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
387 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
388 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
389 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
390 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
392 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
393 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
395 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
396 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
397 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
398 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
400 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
401 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
403 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
408 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
409 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
411 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
415 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
416 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
417 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
419 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
423 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
424 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
425 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
427 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
428 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
431 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
432 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
435 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
436 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
437 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
439 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
440 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
445 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
446 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
447 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
448 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
450 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
451 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
453 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
454 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
456 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
457 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
458 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
459 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
461 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
462 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
463 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
466 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
467 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
468 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
469 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
471 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
472 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
475 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
476 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
477 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
479 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
483 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
484 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
485 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
487 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
488 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
489 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
492 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
493 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
494 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
496 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
497 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
498 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
500 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
501 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
505 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
506 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
507 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
509 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
510 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
511 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
512 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
514 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
518 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
519 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
520 value is a reference.
522 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
523 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
525 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
529 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
530 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
531 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
533 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
537 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
538 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
542 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
543 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
544 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
546 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
547 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
548 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
550 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
554 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
556 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
560 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
562 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
563 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
568 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
569 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
571 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
572 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
573 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
574 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
575 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
577 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
578 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
579 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
580 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
582 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
586 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
587 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
592 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
594 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
596 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
601 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
603 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
607 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
608 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
609 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
611 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
612 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
613 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
614 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
616 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
617 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
618 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
619 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
620 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
623 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
628 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
629 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
630 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
631 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
632 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
635 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
639 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
642 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
643 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
647 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
648 function (not just method). (doy)
652 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
653 and aren't easily installable/testable.
655 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
659 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
660 to be overridden more easily (doy).
662 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
666 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
667 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
669 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
673 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
674 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
675 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
677 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
681 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
682 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
683 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
685 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
686 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
690 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
691 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
693 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
694 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
698 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
699 is applied to a class (t0m).
701 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
702 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
704 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
707 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
708 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
710 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
711 be much more robust. (doy)
713 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
715 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
718 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
722 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
723 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
725 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
729 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
730 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
732 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
735 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
736 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
737 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
739 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
740 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
741 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
744 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
746 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
750 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
751 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
755 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
757 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
761 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
762 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
766 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
767 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
771 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
773 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
777 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
778 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
782 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
783 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
787 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
788 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
790 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
794 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
795 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
796 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
799 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
803 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
804 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
805 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
806 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
808 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
812 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
813 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
814 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
818 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
821 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
825 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
826 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
827 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
831 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
832 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
834 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
835 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
836 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
837 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
839 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
843 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
847 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
848 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
850 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
851 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
852 - Moose::Util::does_role
853 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
854 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
855 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
857 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
861 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
862 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
863 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
866 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
870 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
871 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
874 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
878 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
879 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
882 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
886 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
888 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
889 class. (Dave Rolsky).
891 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
892 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
893 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
895 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
896 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
897 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
900 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
901 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
903 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
904 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
905 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
907 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
909 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
910 substr et al, again. (sorear)
912 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
914 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
917 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
918 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
920 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
921 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
923 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
924 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
925 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
926 dependencies installed.
928 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
929 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
932 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
934 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
938 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
940 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
941 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
942 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
944 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
945 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
946 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
948 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
949 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
952 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
953 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
954 others. (nothingmuch)
956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
957 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
958 remove_accessors. (doy)
960 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
961 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
962 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
965 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
967 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
968 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
969 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
970 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
973 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
974 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
976 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
977 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
979 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
981 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
982 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
985 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
986 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
987 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
988 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
989 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
991 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
992 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
993 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
994 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
995 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
996 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
997 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1000 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1001 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1002 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1003 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1004 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1006 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1007 which were not receiving the value of
1008 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1009 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1010 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1011 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1015 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1016 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1017 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1018 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1019 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1022 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1023 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1024 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1025 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1027 * Moose::Meta::Class
1028 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1029 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1030 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1033 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1034 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1035 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1037 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1038 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1039 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1042 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1043 class if you pass it options for
1044 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1045 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1046 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1047 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1048 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1049 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1050 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1051 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1052 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1054 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1055 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1056 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1057 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1058 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1061 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1062 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1063 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1064 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1067 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1068 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1069 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1070 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1071 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1074 * Moose::Error::Croak
1075 * Moose::Error::Confess
1076 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1077 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1080 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1083 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1084 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1085 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1087 * Moose::Meta::Class
1088 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1091 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1092 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1093 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1095 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1096 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1097 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1098 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1099 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1101 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1102 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1105 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1107 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1108 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1111 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1112 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1115 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1116 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1117 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1120 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1121 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1122 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1123 using it for new code!
1125 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1126 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1127 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1128 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1130 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1131 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1132 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1133 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1134 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1135 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1136 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1137 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1140 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1143 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1144 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1147 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1148 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1150 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1151 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1152 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1154 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1156 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1157 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1159 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1160 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1161 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1163 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1164 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1165 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1168 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1169 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1170 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1171 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1172 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1173 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1175 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1177 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1180 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1181 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1182 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1184 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1185 associated_methods. (hdp)
1186 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1187 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1188 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1189 misspelled) arguments
1191 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1192 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1193 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1194 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1197 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1198 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1200 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1203 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1204 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1205 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1208 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1209 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1211 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1212 * Moose::Meta::Class
1213 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1214 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1216 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1217 * Moose::Manual::Types
1218 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1219 string parsing rathole (mst)
1221 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1222 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1223 using plain objects instead
1225 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1226 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1227 that's what we need.
1229 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1230 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1231 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1232 three times today (perigrin)
1233 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1234 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1236 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1237 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1238 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1239 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1242 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1243 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1244 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1245 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1246 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1247 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1250 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1251 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1252 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1253 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1256 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1258 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1261 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1263 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1266 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1267 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1268 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1272 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1273 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1276 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1277 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1279 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1280 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1281 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1283 * Moose::Unsweetened
1284 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1286 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1287 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1290 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1294 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1295 methods during global destruction (doy)
1297 * Moose::Meta::Class
1298 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1299 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1300 consumption (Sartak)
1302 * Moose::Meta::Class
1303 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1304 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1307 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1308 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1311 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1312 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1314 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1316 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1320 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1321 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1322 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1325 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1326 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1327 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1330 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1332 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1333 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1334 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1337 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1338 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1339 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1340 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1342 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1343 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1344 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1347 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1350 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1351 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1352 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1356 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1357 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1359 * Moose::Meta::Class
1360 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1362 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1364 * Moose::Meta::Class
1365 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1366 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1369 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1370 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1373 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1374 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1377 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1380 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1382 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1383 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1386 * Moose::Meta::Class
1387 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1389 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1390 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1393 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1394 * More deprecations and renamings
1395 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1396 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1397 when an object is constructed)
1400 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1401 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1402 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1404 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1405 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1406 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1407 feature, and it works again.
1410 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1412 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1414 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1415 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1416 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1418 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1419 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1420 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1421 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1422 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1424 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1425 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1426 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1427 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1428 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1431 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1432 metaclass object. (hdp)
1434 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1435 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1436 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1437 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1438 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1439 point out this fact. (hdp)
1441 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1442 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1444 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1445 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1447 * Moose::Meta::Class
1448 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1449 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1450 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1451 called during instance construction were passed the
1452 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1453 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1455 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1456 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1459 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1460 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1461 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1464 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1465 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1466 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1467 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1468 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1470 - Moose::Meta::Class
1471 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1473 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1474 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1475 when an object is constructed)
1476 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1478 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1479 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1480 when an object is constructed)
1481 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1482 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1483 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1486 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1488 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1489 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1491 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1493 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1494 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1495 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1497 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1498 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1499 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1501 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1503 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1504 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1506 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1507 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1510 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1511 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1514 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1515 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1516 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1518 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1519 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1523 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1524 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1525 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1528 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1531 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1532 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1533 with recommended workarounds.
1535 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1536 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1538 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1539 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1540 (yes, spelled like that).
1542 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1543 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1545 * Moose::Meta::Class
1546 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1547 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1549 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1551 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1552 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1553 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1554 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1555 instead. Reported by doy.
1557 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1559 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1560 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1562 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1563 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1564 message) is now deprecated.
1565 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1566 often got it wrong. For example:
1568 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1570 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1574 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1575 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1576 bite you in weird cases.
1578 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1579 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1580 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1581 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1583 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1584 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1588 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1591 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1592 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1595 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1596 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1598 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1599 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1602 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1603 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1604 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1605 - added tests for this (stevan)
1607 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1608 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1609 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1610 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1614 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1615 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1616 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1617 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1619 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1620 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1621 - added tests for this (rafl)
1623 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1624 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1625 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1626 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1630 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1631 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1634 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1635 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1636 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1638 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1640 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1641 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1643 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1644 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1645 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1646 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1647 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1650 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1651 error message did not specify the attribute name
1654 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1656 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1658 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1659 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1660 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1663 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1666 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1668 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1669 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1670 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1671 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1673 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1675 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1676 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1677 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1678 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1680 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1681 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1682 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1684 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1685 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1686 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1687 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1688 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1690 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1691 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1692 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1693 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1694 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1696 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1697 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1698 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1699 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1700 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1701 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1703 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1704 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1705 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1706 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1707 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1708 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1710 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1711 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1713 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1714 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1715 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1716 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1718 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1719 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1722 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1726 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1727 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1729 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1730 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1731 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1732 guts. (nothingmuch).
1734 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1735 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1736 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1738 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1739 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1740 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1741 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1743 * Moose::Meta::Class
1744 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1747 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1748 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1750 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1751 * Moose::Unsweetened
1752 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1755 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1756 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1757 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1758 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1759 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1760 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1762 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1763 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1764 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1765 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1766 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1767 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1768 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1769 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1770 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1771 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1773 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1775 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1776 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1778 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1779 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1780 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1781 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1783 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1784 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1785 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1786 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1787 same methods for a single role did not work
1788 right (worked just fine with multiple
1790 - added test for this (stevan)
1792 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1793 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1794 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1797 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1798 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1799 - added test for this (t0m)
1802 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1803 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1804 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1806 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1807 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1808 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1809 - added test for this (t0m)
1811 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1812 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1813 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1814 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1815 - added test for this (perigrin)
1818 - create method for constructing a role
1819 dynamically (Sartak)
1820 - added test for this (Sartak)
1821 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1822 - added test for this (Sartak)
1825 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1827 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1828 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1829 methods is useful (Sartak)
1831 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1832 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1833 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1836 * Moose::Meta::Class
1837 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1838 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1839 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1840 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1841 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1842 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1845 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1846 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1848 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1849 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1850 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1851 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1852 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1854 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1856 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1857 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1858 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1861 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1862 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1863 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1864 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1865 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1866 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1870 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1871 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1872 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1873 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1874 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1875 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1876 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1877 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1878 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1879 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1881 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1882 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1885 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1886 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1887 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1888 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1889 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1891 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1893 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1894 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1895 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1897 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1898 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1900 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1901 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1902 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1903 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1906 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1907 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1909 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1911 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1912 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1914 * Moose::Meta::Class
1915 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1916 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1917 a required attribute
1919 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1920 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1921 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1922 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1924 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1925 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1927 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1928 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1929 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1930 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1931 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1932 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1933 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1934 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1936 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1937 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1938 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1940 * Roles and role application
1941 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1942 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1943 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1944 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1945 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1947 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1948 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1951 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1952 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1953 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1954 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1955 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1958 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1959 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1960 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1961 changes in the Moose internals.
1963 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1965 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1968 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1969 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1970 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1971 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1973 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1974 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1975 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1976 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1979 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1980 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1981 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1982 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1983 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1984 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1985 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1986 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1987 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1988 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1989 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1990 constraint implementations.
1992 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1996 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1997 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1998 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1999 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2000 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2001 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2002 - added tests for this (rafl)
2004 * Moose::Meta::Class
2005 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2006 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2007 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2008 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2009 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2010 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2011 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2012 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2015 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2016 - added tests for this (thepler)
2018 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2019 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2020 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2021 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2024 * Moose::Meta::Class
2025 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2026 * Moose::Meta::Method
2029 * Moose::Error::Default
2030 * Moose::Error::Croak
2031 * Moose::Error::Confess
2032 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2033 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2034 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2035 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2036 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2037 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2039 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2041 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2042 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2044 * Moose::Unsweetened
2045 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2046 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2047 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2049 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2050 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2051 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2052 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2053 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2056 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2057 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2059 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2060 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2061 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2062 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2065 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2067 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2068 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2070 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2073 - Various bug fixes.

2236 ... this is not my day today ...
2238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2239 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2240 clone_and_inherit options still works for

2242 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2245 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2246 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2247 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2287 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2288 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2289 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2290 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2291 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2292 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2293 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2294 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2295 - added tests for this
2297 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2298 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2514 drink more coffee before
2515 doing release engineering

2770 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
2772 * Moose::Meta::Class
2773 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2774 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2775 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2776 method in the first place ;)
2778 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2779 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2780 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
2782 Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
2783 - (see the POD for details)
2785 * <<Role System Refactoring>>
2786 - this release contains a major reworking and
2787 cleanup of the role system
2788 - 100% backwards compat.
2789 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2790 classes based on type of applicants
2791 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2792 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2793 used in this process
2794 - new Composite role metaclass
2795 - runtime application of roles to instances
2796 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2797 classes when applicable
2799 * <<New Role composition features>>
2800 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
2802 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
2803 still retain the original as well)

2806 - added this module (see above)
2808 * Moose::Meta::Class
2809 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called

2819 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2820 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2821 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2825 - type constraint handling
2826 - error handling/messages
2827 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2829 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2830 - added this module to support the refactor
2831 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2833 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2834 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2835 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2839 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2841 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2842 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2843 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2845 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2871 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2872 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2873 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2874 they should inherit the parent's coercion

2877 a single type at different times instead of
2878 having to do it all in one place
2879 - added tests for this
2881 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2882 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2883 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2886 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2887 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2888 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2889 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2890 new features above (although you cannot add
2891 more type coercions for Union types)
2893 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2894 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2895 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2897 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2898 - added tests for this.
2899 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2900 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2901 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2902 - added tests for this
2903 - added docs for this
2905 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2906 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2907 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2908 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2909 instead it will just return undef.

2924 with work correctly.
2925 - added tests for this
2928 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2929 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2932 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2933 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2934 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)

2968 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2971 - fixed how required methods are handled
2972 when they encounter overriden or modified
2973 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2974 - added tests for this
2976 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2977 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2978 the | always creates a union and so is
2979 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2980 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2982 - added more tests for this
2984 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2987 * Parameterized Types
2988 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2989 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2990 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2991 They can also be nested:
2992 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2993 And work with the type unions as well:
2994 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2996 * Better Framework Extendability
2997 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2998 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2999 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3000 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3003 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3004 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3005 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3006 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3009 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3011 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3012 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
3015 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

3071 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3072 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3074 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3075 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3076 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself

3091 (thanks to shlomif).
3093 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3094 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3095 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

3144 (but not changing the handles option)
3145 - added tests and docs for this
3148 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3149 so that required methods can come from superclasses

3163 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3164 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3165 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3166 prototypes for functions
3167 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3168 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3178 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3181 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3182 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3183 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3184 - added tests for this
3186 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3188 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3210 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3212 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3213 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3214 so this release is just to fix that.
3217 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3218 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3219 (thanks to konobi for this)

3230 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3231 functions to facilitate introspection.
3233 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3234 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3235 to build the list of delegated methods
3236 correctly (and not override important
3237 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3239 - added tests and docs for this
3240 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3241 so that you can actually document your
3242 attributes and inspect them through the
3244 - added tests and docs for this
3246 * Moose::Meta::Class
3247 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3248 it will first look in for the class in the
3249 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3250 then default to just loading $name.
3251 - added tests and docs for this
3253 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3254 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3255 - added test for this
3258 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3259 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3260 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3261 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3263 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3264 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3267 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3269 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3270 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3271 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3274 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3275 !! for this developer release to work !!
3277 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3278 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3279 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3280 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3281 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3282 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3283 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3284 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3285 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3286 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3287 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3289 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3290 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3291 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3292 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3295 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3296 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3297 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3298 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3299 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3301 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3303 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3304 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3307 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3308 called unless they actually need to be.
3309 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3310 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3311 DEMOLISH method present.
3313 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3314 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3315 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3316 type constraint, which allows for a
3317 hand optimized version of the type
3318 constraint to be used when possible.
3319 - Any internally created type constraints
3320 now provide an optimized version as well.
3322 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3324 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3325 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3326 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3328 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3329 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3330 your class namespace of these exported
3333 * Moose::Meta::Class
3334 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3335 comes up during global destruction
3337 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3341 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3345 - changed how we do type checks so that
3346 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3349 - moved accessor generation methods to
3350 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3351 conform to the API changes from
3354 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3355 - changed how constraints are compiled
3356 so that we do less recursion and more
3357 iteration. This makes the type check
3359 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3362 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3363 - created this from methods formerly found in
3364 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3366 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3367 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3369 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3370 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3372 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3373 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3375 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3377 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3378 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3379 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3380 - added tests for this
3381 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3382 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3383 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3384 - removed tests for this
3386 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3388 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3389 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3390 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3393 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3394 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3395 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3397 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3398 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3399 comments for more info.
3402 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3403 asked questions and common problems
3405 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3406 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3407 - added tests for this
3409 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3410 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3411 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3412 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3414 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3415 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3418 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3419 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3420 is much appreciated :)
3421 - added tests for this
3423 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3424 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3425 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3428 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3429 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3431 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3433 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3434 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3438 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3439 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3440 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3442 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3444 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3447 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3448 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3449 keywords because we need to localize them.
3450 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3452 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3453 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3454 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3457 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3460 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3461 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3462 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3465 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3466 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3467 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3469 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3471 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3472 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3473 bottom of your class file.
3476 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3479 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3481 - improved error message when loading modules so
3482 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3483 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3484 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3487 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3488 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3489 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3492 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3494 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3495 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3496 turn them on for you.
3497 - added tests for this
3498 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3499 in Moose::Meta::Class
3502 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3503 automatically turned on for you.
3504 - added tests for this
3507 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3508 - added tests for this
3509 - added some more edge case tests

3525 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3526 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3527 - This release works in combination with
3528 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3529 release because it uses the a new
3530 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3531 complete Role implementation. It has
3532 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3533 the the previous CPAN version. This
3534 release also lacks good updated docs,
3535 the official release will have updated docs.
3538 - refactored the keyword exports
3539 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3540 accepts more than one Role at a time
3541 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3542 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3545 - refactored the keyword exports
3546 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3547 accepts more than one Role at a time
3549 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3550 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3551 string enumerations which can be used as
3553 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3556 - more careful checking of params to new()
3559 - much work done on the role composition
3560 - many new tests for conflict detection
3561 and composition edge cases
3562 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3563 looking at the tests
3565 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3566 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3567 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3569 * Moose::Meta::Class
3570 - some small changes to support the new
3572 - some small additions to support Roles
3574 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3575 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3577 - some small changes to support the new
3579 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3580 with the 'handles' option
3581 - added several tests for this
3582 - no docs for this yet
3584 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3586 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3587 thanks to chansen for this commit
3588 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3589 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3590 on a per-attribute basis
3591 - added tests for this
3592 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3593 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3594 experimental feature and probably not finished
