1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
6 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into the
7 _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can safely call
8 'after install_accessors => ...'. (hdp)
9 - Move currying syntax for delegation in from AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
11 * Moose::AttributeHelpers
12 - Moved in from MooseX with API tweaks. See Moose::Manual::Delta for
13 details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels)
15 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
17 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
20 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
21 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
22 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
24 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
25 associated_methods. (hdp)
26 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
27 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
28 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
31 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
32 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
33 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
34 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
36 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
37 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
38 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
40 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
43 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
44 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
45 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
48 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
49 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
51 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
53 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
54 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
56 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
57 * Moose::Manual::Types
58 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
59 string parsing rathole (mst)
61 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
62 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
63 using plain objects instead
66 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
71 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
72 three times today (perigrin)
73 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
74 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
76 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
77 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
78 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
79 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
82 - A role's required methods are now represented by
83 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
84 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
85 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
86 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
87 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
90 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
91 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
92 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
93 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
96 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
98 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
101 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
103 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
106 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
107 during global destruction. This method has been made more
108 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
112 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
113 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
116 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
117 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
119 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
120 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
121 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
124 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
126 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
127 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
130 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
134 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
135 methods during global destruction (doy)
138 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
139 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
143 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
144 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
147 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
148 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
151 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
152 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
154 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
156 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
160 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
161 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
162 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
165 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
166 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
167 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
170 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
172 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
173 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
174 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
177 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
178 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
179 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
180 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
182 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
183 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
184 of the Moose core (Sartak)
187 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
190 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
191 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
192 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
196 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
197 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
200 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
202 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
205 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
206 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
209 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
210 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
213 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
214 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
217 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
220 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
222 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
223 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
227 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
229 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
230 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
233 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
234 * More deprecations and renamings
235 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
236 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
237 when an object is constructed)
240 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
241 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
242 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
244 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
245 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
246 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
247 feature, and it works again.
250 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
252 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
254 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
255 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
256 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
258 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
259 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
260 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
261 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
262 message. Test provided by perigrin.
264 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
265 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
266 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
267 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
268 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
271 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
272 metaclass object. (hdp)
274 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
275 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
276 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
277 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
278 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
279 point out this fact. (hdp)
281 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
282 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
284 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
285 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
289 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
290 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
291 called during instance construction were passed the
292 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
293 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
295 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
296 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
299 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
300 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
301 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
304 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
305 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
306 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
307 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
308 them, but they are not for "public" use.
311 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
313 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
314 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
315 when an object is constructed)
316 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
318 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
319 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
320 when an object is constructed)
321 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
322 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
323 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
326 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
328 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
329 * No changes from 0.72_01.
331 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
333 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
334 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
335 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
337 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
338 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
339 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
341 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
343 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
344 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
346 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
347 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
350 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
351 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
354 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
355 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
356 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
358 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
359 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
363 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
364 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
365 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
368 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
371 * Moose::Manual::Delta
372 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
373 with recommended workarounds.
375 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
376 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
378 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
379 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
380 (yes, spelled like that).
382 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
383 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
386 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
387 changes in latest Class::MOP.
389 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
391 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
392 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
393 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
394 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
395 instead. Reported by doy.
397 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
399 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
400 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
402 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
403 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
404 message) is now deprecated.
405 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
406 often got it wrong. For example:
408 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
410 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
414 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
415 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
416 bite you in weird cases.
418 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
419 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
420 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
423 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
424 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
428 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
431 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
432 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
435 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
436 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
438 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
439 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
442 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
443 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
444 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
445 - added tests for this (stevan)
447 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
448 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
449 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
450 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
454 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
455 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
456 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
457 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
459 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
460 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
461 - added tests for this (rafl)
463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
464 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
465 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
466 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
470 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
471 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
474 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
475 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
476 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
478 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
480 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
481 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
484 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
485 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
486 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
487 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
489 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
490 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
491 error message did not specify the attribute name
494 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
496 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
498 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
499 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
500 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
502 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
503 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
506 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
508 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
509 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
510 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
511 of fixes and formatting improvements.
513 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
515 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
516 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
517 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
518 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
520 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
521 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
522 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
524 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
525 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
526 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
527 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
528 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
530 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
531 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
532 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
533 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
534 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
536 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
537 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
538 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
539 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
540 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
541 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
543 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
544 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
545 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
546 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
547 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
548 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
550 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
551 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
553 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
554 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
555 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
556 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
558 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
559 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
562 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
566 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
567 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
569 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
570 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
571 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
574 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
575 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
576 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
578 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
579 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
580 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
581 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
584 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
587 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
588 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
590 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
592 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
595 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
596 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
597 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
598 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
599 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
600 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
602 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
603 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
604 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
605 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
606 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
607 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
608 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
609 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
610 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
611 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
613 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
615 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
616 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
618 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
619 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
620 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
621 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
623 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
624 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
625 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
626 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
627 same methods for a single role did not work
628 right (worked just fine with multiple
630 - added test for this (stevan)
632 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
633 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
634 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
637 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
638 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
639 - added test for this (t0m)
642 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
643 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
644 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
646 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
647 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
648 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
649 - added test for this (t0m)
651 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
652 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
653 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
654 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
655 - added test for this (perigrin)
658 - create method for constructing a role
660 - added test for this (Sartak)
661 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
662 - added test for this (Sartak)
665 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
667 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
668 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
669 methods is useful (Sartak)
671 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
672 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
673 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
677 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
678 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
679 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
680 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
681 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
682 - added tests for this (jdv79)
685 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
686 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
688 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
689 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
690 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
691 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
692 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
694 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
696 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
697 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
698 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
701 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
702 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
703 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
704 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
705 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
706 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
709 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
710 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
711 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
712 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
713 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
714 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
715 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
716 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
717 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
718 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
719 future. (jnapiorkowski)
721 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
722 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
725 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
726 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
727 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
728 type. (jnapiorkowski)
729 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
731 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
733 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
734 predicate, and link to more details sections in
735 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
737 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
738 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
740 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
741 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
742 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
743 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
746 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
747 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
749 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
751 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
752 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
755 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
756 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
759 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
760 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
761 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
762 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
764 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
765 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
767 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
768 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
769 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
770 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
771 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
772 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
773 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
774 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
776 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
777 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
778 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
780 * Roles and role application
781 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
782 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
783 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
784 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
785 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
787 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
788 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
791 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
792 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
793 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
794 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
795 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
798 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
799 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
800 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
801 changes in the Moose internals.
803 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
804 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
805 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
808 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
809 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
810 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
811 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
813 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
814 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
815 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
816 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
818 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
819 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
820 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
821 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
822 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
823 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
824 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
825 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
826 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
827 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
828 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
829 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
830 constraint implementations.
832 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
836 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
837 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
838 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
839 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
840 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
841 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
842 - added tests for this (rafl)
845 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
846 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
847 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
848 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
849 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
850 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
851 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
852 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
855 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
856 - added tests for this (thepler)
858 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
859 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
860 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
861 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
865 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
866 * Moose::Meta::Method
869 * Moose::Error::Default
870 * Moose::Error::Croak
871 * Moose::Error::Confess
872 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
873 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
874 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
875 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
876 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
877 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
879 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
881 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
882 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
885 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
886 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
887 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
890 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
891 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
892 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
893 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
896 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
897 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
899 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
900 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
901 several major changes in this release of Moose.
902 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
905 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
907 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
908 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
910 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
915 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
916 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

920 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
921 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
922 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
923 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
924 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
925 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
927 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
928 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
929 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
931 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
932 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
933 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
936 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
937 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
938 dependency to 0.64_07.
940 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
941 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
942 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
944 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
945 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
948 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
949 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
950 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
951 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
952 coincidental exception. (t0m).
953 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
955 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
956 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
958 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
960 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
961 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
965 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
966 method when that method was provided by another role being
967 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
968 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
970 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
972 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
973 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
975 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
976 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
977 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
978 - added test for this (t0m)
980 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
981 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
982 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
984 - added test for this (t0m)
987 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
988 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
989 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
992 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
993 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
995 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
997 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1000 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1001 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1002 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1005 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1008 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1009 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1010 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1011 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1015 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1016 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1017 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1020 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1021 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1022 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1023 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1026 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1030 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1031 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1032 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1034 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1036 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1037 created so that the process can be more easily
1038 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1040 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

1042 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1043 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1045 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1046 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1049 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1050 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1052 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1053 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1054 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1056 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1

1063 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1064 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1067 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1068 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1072 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1073 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1075 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1076 ... this is not my day today ...
1078 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1079 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1080 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1081 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1082 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1085 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1086 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1087 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1088 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1089 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1092 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1094 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1095 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1096 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1097 this is not ever something you want to do
1098 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1099 - added tests for this (stevan)
1102 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1104 - added test for this
1106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1113 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1115 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1116 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1117 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1120 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1122 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1124 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1127 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1128 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1129 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1130 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1131 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1132 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1133 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1134 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1135 - added tests for this
1137 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1138 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1139 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1140 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1142 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1144 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1145 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

1157 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1158 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1159 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1161 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1163 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1164 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

1172 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1173 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1175 - added docs for this (TODO).
1176 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1177 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1178 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1197 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1198 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1200 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1201 - move the ClassName type check code to
1202 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1204 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1205 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1207 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1208 (early morning release engineering)--
1210 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1211 which was causing the indexer to choke
1213 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1214 (late night release engineering)--
1216 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1217 changes in this release
1219 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1220 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1221 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1223 * Moose::Meta::Class
1224 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1225 since it is called so often by &meta
1227 * Moose::Meta::Class
1229 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1230 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1233 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1234 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1235 method for immutablization to check if the
1236 destructor object even needs to be created
1239 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1240 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1241 - added more descriptive error message to help
1242 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1243 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1245 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1247 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1248 XS based functionality is now optional
1249 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1250 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1251 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1253 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1254 to take care of this, mostly we added
1255 support for the package_name and name
1256 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1257 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1258 support regexp matching of names
1259 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1260 - tests added for this
1261 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1262 is currently not supported in roles,
1263 but, ... patches welcome
1264 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1265 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1266 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1269 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1270 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1271 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1272 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1273 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1274 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1275 - added test for this
1277 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1278 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1279 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1282 * Moose::Meta::Class
1283 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1287 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1289 - added tests for this
1290 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1291 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1293 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1294 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1295 themselves parameterizable types
1297 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1298 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1299 called by the inlined immutable
1301 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1303 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1304 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1305 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1306 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1308 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1309 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1313 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1314 causing occasional cpantester failures
1315 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1316 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1318 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1320 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1321 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1324 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1325 ->body when looping through the
1326 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1328 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1329 eating the $@ values, and so not
1330 working correctly, it still kind of
1331 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1332 - added tests for this
1334 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1335 - added new recipe for immutable
1336 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1338 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1339 - added new recipe for builder and
1340 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1342 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1343 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1344 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1347 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1349 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1350 since Module::Install has done that.
1352 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1354 drink more coffee before
1355 doing release engineering
1357 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1358 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1359 modules. This fixes that.
1361 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1362 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1363 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1365 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1366 since we have tests which need the C3
1369 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1370 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1372 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1373 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1375 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1376 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1377 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1378 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1384 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1385 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
1387 * Moose::Meta::Class
1388 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
1389 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1391 - added test for this
1393 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1394 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
1395 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
1396 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
1397 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
1398 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
1400 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1401 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
1403 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden

1405 - moved the logic for these into their own
1406 classes (nothingmuch)
1408 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1409 - inherited attributes may now be extended without

1472 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1474 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1475 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1518 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1519 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1765 - added tests for this
1768 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1769 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1812 when they encounter overriden or modified
1813 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1814 - added tests for this
1816 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1818 the | always creates a union and so is
1819 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1820 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

1824 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1827 * Parameterized Types
1828 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1829 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1830 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1831 They can also be nested:
1832 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1833 And work with the type unions as well:
1834 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1836 * Better Framework Extendability
1837 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1838 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1839 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1840 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1843 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1844 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1845 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1846 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2077 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2079 - added tests and docs for this
2080 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2081 so that you can actually document your
2082 attributes and inspect them through the
2084 - added tests and docs for this
2086 * Moose::Meta::Class
2087 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2088 it will first look in for the class in the
2089 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2090 then default to just loading $name.
2091 - added tests and docs for this
2093 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2094 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2095 - added test for this
2098 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2099 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2100 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2101 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2103 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2104 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2107 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2109 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2110 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2111 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2114 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2115 !! for this developer release to work !!
2117 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2118 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2119 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2120 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2121 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2122 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2123 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2124 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2125 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2126 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2127 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2129 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2130 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2131 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2132 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2135 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2136 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2137 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2138 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2139 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2141 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2143 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2144 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2147 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2148 called unless they actually need to be.
2149 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2150 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2151 DEMOLISH method present.
2153 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2154 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2155 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2156 type constraint, which allows for a
2157 hand optimized version of the type
2158 constraint to be used when possible.
2159 - Any internally created type constraints
2160 now provide an optimized version as well.
2162 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2164 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2165 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2166 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2168 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2169 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2170 your class namespace of these exported
2173 * Moose::Meta::Class
2174 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2175 comes up during global destruction
2177 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2181 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2184 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2185 - changed how we do type checks so that
2186 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2189 - moved accessor generation methods to
2190 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2191 conform to the API changes from
2194 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2195 - changed how constraints are compiled
2196 so that we do less recursion and more
2197 iteration. This makes the type check
2199 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2202 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2203 - created this from methods formerly found in
2204 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2206 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2207 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2209 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2210 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2212 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2213 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2215 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2218 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2219 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2220 - added tests for this
2221 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2222 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2223 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2224 - removed tests for this
2226 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2228 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2229 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2230 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2233 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2234 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2235 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2237 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2238 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2239 comments for more info.
2242 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2243 asked questions and common problems
2245 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2246 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2247 - added tests for this
2249 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2250 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2251 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2252 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2254 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2255 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2258 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2259 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2260 is much appreciated :)
2261 - added tests for this
2263 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2264 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2265 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2268 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2269 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2271 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2273 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2274 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2278 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2279 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2280 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2282 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2284 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2287 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2288 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2289 keywords because we need to localize them.
2290 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2292 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2293 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2294 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2297 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2300 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2301 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2302 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2305 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2306 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2307 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2309 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2311 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2312 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2313 bottom of your class file.
2316 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2319 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2321 - improved error message when loading modules so
2322 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2323 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2324 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2327 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2328 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2329 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2331 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2332 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2334 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2335 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2336 turn them on for you.
2337 - added tests for this
2338 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2339 in Moose::Meta::Class
2342 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2343 automatically turned on for you.

2366 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2367 - This release works in combination with
2368 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2369 release because it uses the a new
2370 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2371 complete Role implementation. It has
2372 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2373 the the previous CPAN version. This
2374 release also lacks good updated docs,
2375 the official release will have updated docs.
2378 - refactored the keyword exports
2379 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2380 accepts more than one Role at a time
2381 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2382 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2385 - refactored the keyword exports
2386 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2387 accepts more than one Role at a time
2389 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2390 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2391 string enumerations which can be used as
2393 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2396 - more careful checking of params to new()
2399 - much work done on the role composition
2400 - many new tests for conflict detection
2401 and composition edge cases
2402 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2403 looking at the tests
2405 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2406 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2407 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2409 * Moose::Meta::Class
2410 - some small changes to support the new
2412 - some small additions to support Roles
2414 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2415 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2417 - some small changes to support the new
2419 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2420 with the 'handles' option
2421 - added several tests for this
2422 - no docs for this yet
2424 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2426 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2427 thanks to chansen for this commit
2428 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2429 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2430 on a per-attribute basis
2431 - added tests for this
2432 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2433 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2434 experimental feature and probably not finished

2436 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2437 - added tests for this

2499 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2501 - added test for this
2504 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
