1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
9 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
12 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
16 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
19 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
21 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
25 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
27 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
31 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
34 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
35 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
36 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
38 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
41 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
45 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
47 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
51 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
53 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
57 * Include changes from 2.0010.
59 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
63 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
64 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
68 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
69 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
70 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
75 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
77 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
81 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
82 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
84 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
88 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
90 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
94 * Various packaging issues.
96 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
100 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
101 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
106 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
107 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
108 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
112 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
113 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
114 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
116 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
120 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
121 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
123 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
127 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
128 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
130 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
133 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
134 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
138 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
139 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
141 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
145 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
146 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
150 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
152 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
156 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
158 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
162 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
163 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
165 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
169 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
171 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
175 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
177 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
178 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
180 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
184 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
185 skips every other role. (rjbs)
187 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
188 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
189 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
190 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
191 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
193 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
197 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
198 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
199 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
202 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
207 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
209 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
210 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
212 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
216 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
217 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
218 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
222 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
223 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
225 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
226 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
228 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
229 environments. (doy, mateu)
231 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
235 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
236 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
237 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
238 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
242 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
243 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
245 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
249 * Update conflicts list.
252 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
256 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
257 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
258 details. (Dave Rolsky)
260 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
261 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
262 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
263 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
264 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
268 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
269 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
270 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
271 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
272 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
275 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
279 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
280 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
282 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
285 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
289 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
290 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
291 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
292 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
294 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
295 immutable classes). (mo)
297 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
298 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
299 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
301 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
305 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
307 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
309 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
313 * Fix some indexing issues.
315 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
317 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
321 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
322 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
323 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
324 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
325 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
327 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
328 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
333 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
334 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
335 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
336 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
338 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
339 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
340 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
344 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
345 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
348 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
352 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
353 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
357 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
361 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
362 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
363 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
364 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
367 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
371 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
374 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
378 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
379 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
380 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
383 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
387 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
388 policy. (Chris Prather)
390 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
391 on this new support policy. (doy)
395 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
396 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
397 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
399 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
400 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
402 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
406 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
407 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
408 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
409 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
412 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
416 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
417 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
420 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
424 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
425 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
427 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
428 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
432 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
433 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
434 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
435 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
436 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
437 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
439 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
440 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
442 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
443 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
444 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
445 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
447 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
448 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
450 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
455 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
456 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
458 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
462 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
463 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
464 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
466 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
470 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
471 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
472 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
474 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
475 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
478 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
479 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
482 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
483 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
484 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
486 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
487 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
492 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
493 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
494 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
495 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
497 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
498 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
500 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
501 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
503 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
504 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
505 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
506 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
508 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
509 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
510 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
513 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
514 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
515 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
516 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
518 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
519 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
522 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
523 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
524 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
526 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
530 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
531 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
532 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
534 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
535 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
536 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
539 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
540 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
541 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
543 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
544 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
545 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
547 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
548 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
552 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
553 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
554 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
556 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
557 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
558 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
559 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
561 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
565 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
566 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
567 value is a reference.
569 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
570 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
572 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
576 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
577 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
578 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
580 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
584 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
585 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
589 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
590 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
591 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
593 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
594 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
595 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
597 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
601 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
603 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
607 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
609 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
610 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
615 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
616 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
618 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
619 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
620 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
621 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
622 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
624 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
625 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
626 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
627 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
629 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
633 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
634 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
639 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
641 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
643 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
648 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
650 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
654 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
655 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
656 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
658 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
659 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
660 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
661 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
663 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
664 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
665 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
666 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
667 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
670 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
675 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
676 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
677 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
678 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
679 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
682 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
686 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
689 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
690 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
694 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
695 function (not just method). (doy)
699 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
700 and aren't easily installable/testable.
702 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
706 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
707 to be overridden more easily (doy).
709 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
713 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
714 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
716 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
720 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
721 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
722 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
724 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
728 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
729 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
730 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
732 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
733 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
737 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
738 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
740 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
741 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
745 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
746 is applied to a class (t0m).
748 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
749 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
751 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
754 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
755 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
757 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
758 be much more robust. (doy)
760 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
762 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
765 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
769 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
770 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
772 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
776 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
777 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
779 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
782 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
783 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
784 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
786 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
787 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
788 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
791 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
793 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
797 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
798 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
802 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
804 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
808 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
809 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
813 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
814 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
818 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
820 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
824 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
825 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
829 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
830 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
834 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
835 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
837 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
841 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
842 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
843 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
846 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
850 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
851 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
852 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
853 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
855 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
859 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
860 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
861 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
865 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
868 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
872 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
873 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
874 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
878 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
879 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
881 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
882 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
883 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
884 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
886 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
890 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
894 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
895 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
897 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
898 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
899 - Moose::Util::does_role
900 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
901 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
902 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
904 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
908 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
909 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
910 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
913 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
917 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
918 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
921 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
925 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
926 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
929 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
933 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
935 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
936 class. (Dave Rolsky).
938 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
939 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
940 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
942 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
943 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
944 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
947 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
948 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
950 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
951 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
952 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
954 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
956 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
957 substr et al, again. (sorear)
959 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
961 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
964 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
965 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
967 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
968 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
970 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
971 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
972 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
973 dependencies installed.
975 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
976 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
979 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
981 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
985 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
987 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
988 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
989 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
991 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
992 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
993 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
995 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
996 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
999 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1000 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1001 others. (nothingmuch)
1003 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1004 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1005 remove_accessors. (doy)
1007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1008 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1009 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1012 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1014 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1015 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1016 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1017 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1019 * Moose::Meta::Class
1020 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1021 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1023 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1024 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1026 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1028 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1029 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1032 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1033 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1034 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1035 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1036 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1038 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1039 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1040 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1041 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1042 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1043 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1044 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1047 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1048 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1049 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1050 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1051 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1053 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1054 which were not receiving the value of
1055 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1056 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1057 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1058 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1062 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1063 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1064 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1065 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1066 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1069 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1070 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1071 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1072 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1074 * Moose::Meta::Class
1075 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1076 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1077 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1080 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1081 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1082 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1084 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1085 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1086 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1089 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1090 class if you pass it options for
1091 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1092 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1093 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1094 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1095 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1096 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1097 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1098 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1099 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1101 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1102 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1103 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1104 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1105 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1108 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1110 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1111 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1113 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1114 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1115 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1116 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1117 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1118 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1121 * Moose::Error::Croak
1122 * Moose::Error::Confess
1123 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1124 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1127 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1130 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1131 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1132 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1134 * Moose::Meta::Class
1135 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1138 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1139 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1140 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1142 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1143 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1144 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1145 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1146 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1148 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1149 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1152 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1154 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1155 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1158 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1159 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1161 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1162 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1163 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1164 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1166 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1167 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1168 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1169 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1170 using it for new code!
1172 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1173 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1174 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1175 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1177 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1178 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1179 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1180 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1181 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1182 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1183 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1184 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1187 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1190 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1191 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1194 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1195 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1197 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1198 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1199 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1201 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1202 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1203 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1204 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1206 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1207 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1208 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1211 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1212 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1215 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1217 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1218 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1219 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1220 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1222 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1224 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1227 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1228 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1229 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1231 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1232 associated_methods. (hdp)
1233 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1234 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1235 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1236 misspelled) arguments
1238 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1239 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1240 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1241 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1243 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1244 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1245 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1247 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1251 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1252 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1255 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1256 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1258 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1259 * Moose::Meta::Class
1260 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1261 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1263 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1264 * Moose::Manual::Types
1265 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1266 string parsing rathole (mst)
1268 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1269 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1270 using plain objects instead
1272 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1273 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1274 that's what we need.
1276 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1277 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1278 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1279 three times today (perigrin)
1280 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1281 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1283 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1284 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1285 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1286 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1289 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1290 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1291 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1292 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1293 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1294 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1297 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1298 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1299 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1300 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1303 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1305 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1308 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1310 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1313 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1314 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1315 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1319 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1320 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1323 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1324 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1326 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1327 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1328 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1330 * Moose::Unsweetened
1331 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1333 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1334 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1337 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1341 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1342 methods during global destruction (doy)
1344 * Moose::Meta::Class
1345 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1346 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1347 consumption (Sartak)
1349 * Moose::Meta::Class
1350 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1351 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1354 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1355 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1358 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1359 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1361 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1363 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1367 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1368 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1369 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1372 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1373 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1374 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1377 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1379 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1380 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1381 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1384 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1385 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1386 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1387 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1389 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1390 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1391 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1394 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1397 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1398 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1399 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1403 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1404 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1406 * Moose::Meta::Class
1407 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1409 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1411 * Moose::Meta::Class
1412 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1413 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1416 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1417 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1420 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1421 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1424 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1427 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1429 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1430 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1433 * Moose::Meta::Class
1434 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1436 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1437 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1440 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1441 * More deprecations and renamings
1442 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1443 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1444 when an object is constructed)
1447 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1448 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1449 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1451 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1452 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1453 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1454 feature, and it works again.
1457 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1459 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1461 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1462 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1463 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1465 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1466 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1467 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1468 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1469 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1471 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1472 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1473 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1474 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1475 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1478 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1479 metaclass object. (hdp)
1481 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1482 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1483 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1484 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1485 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1486 point out this fact. (hdp)
1488 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1489 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1491 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1492 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1494 * Moose::Meta::Class
1495 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1496 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1497 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1498 called during instance construction were passed the
1499 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1500 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1502 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1503 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1506 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1507 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1508 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1511 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1512 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1513 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1514 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1515 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1517 - Moose::Meta::Class
1518 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1520 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1521 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1522 when an object is constructed)
1523 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1525 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1526 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1527 when an object is constructed)
1528 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1529 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1530 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1533 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1535 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1536 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1538 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1540 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1541 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1542 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1544 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1545 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1546 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1548 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1550 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1551 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1553 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1554 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1557 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1558 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1561 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1562 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1563 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1565 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1566 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1570 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1571 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1572 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1574 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1575 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1578 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1579 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1580 with recommended workarounds.
1582 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1583 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1586 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1587 (yes, spelled like that).
1589 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1590 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1592 * Moose::Meta::Class
1593 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1594 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1596 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1598 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1599 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1600 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1601 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1602 instead. Reported by doy.
1604 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1606 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1607 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1609 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1610 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1611 message) is now deprecated.
1612 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1613 often got it wrong. For example:
1615 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1617 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1621 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1622 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1623 bite you in weird cases.
1625 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1626 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1627 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1628 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1630 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1631 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1635 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1638 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1639 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1642 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1643 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1645 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1646 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1649 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1650 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1651 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1652 - added tests for this (stevan)
1654 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1655 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1656 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1657 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1661 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1662 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1663 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1664 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1666 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1667 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1668 - added tests for this (rafl)
1670 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1671 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1672 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1673 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1677 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1678 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1681 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1682 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1683 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1685 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1687 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1688 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1690 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1691 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1692 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1693 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1694 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1696 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1697 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1698 error message did not specify the attribute name
1701 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1703 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1705 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1706 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1707 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1709 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1710 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1713 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1715 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1716 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1717 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1718 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1720 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1722 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1723 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1724 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1725 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1727 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1728 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1729 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1731 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1732 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1733 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1734 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1735 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1737 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1738 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1739 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1740 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1741 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1743 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1744 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1745 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1746 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1747 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1748 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1750 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1751 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1752 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1753 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1754 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1755 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1757 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1758 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1760 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1761 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1762 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1763 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1765 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1766 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1769 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1773 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1774 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1776 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1777 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1778 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1779 guts. (nothingmuch).
1781 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1782 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1783 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1785 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1786 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1787 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1788 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1790 * Moose::Meta::Class
1791 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1794 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1795 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1797 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1798 * Moose::Unsweetened
1799 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1802 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1803 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1804 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1805 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1806 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1807 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1809 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1810 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1811 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1812 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1813 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1814 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1815 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1816 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1817 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1818 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1820 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1822 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1823 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1825 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1826 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1827 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1828 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1830 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1831 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1832 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1833 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1834 same methods for a single role did not work
1835 right (worked just fine with multiple
1837 - added test for this (stevan)
1839 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1840 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1841 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1844 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1845 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1846 - added test for this (t0m)
1849 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1850 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1851 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1853 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1854 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1855 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1856 - added test for this (t0m)
1858 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1859 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1860 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1861 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1862 - added test for this (perigrin)
1865 - create method for constructing a role
1866 dynamically (Sartak)
1867 - added test for this (Sartak)
1868 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1869 - added test for this (Sartak)
1872 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1874 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1875 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1876 methods is useful (Sartak)
1878 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1879 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1880 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1883 * Moose::Meta::Class
1884 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1885 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1886 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1887 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1888 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1889 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1892 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1893 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1895 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1896 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1897 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1898 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1899 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1901 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1903 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1904 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1905 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1908 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1909 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1910 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1911 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1912 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1913 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1916 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1917 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1918 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1919 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1920 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1921 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1922 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1923 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1924 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1925 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1926 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1928 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1929 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1932 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1933 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1934 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1935 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1936 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1938 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1940 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1941 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1942 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1944 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1945 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1947 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1948 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1949 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1950 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1953 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1954 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1956 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1958 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1959 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1961 * Moose::Meta::Class
1962 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1963 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1964 a required attribute
1966 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1967 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1968 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1969 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1971 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1972 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1974 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1975 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1976 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1977 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1978 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1979 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1980 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1981 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1983 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1984 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1985 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1987 * Roles and role application
1988 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1989 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1990 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1991 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1992 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1994 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1995 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1998 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1999 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2000 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2001 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2002 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2005 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2006 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2007 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2008 changes in the Moose internals.
2010 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2012 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2015 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2016 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2017 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2018 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2020 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2021 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2022 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2023 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2025 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2026 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2027 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2028 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2029 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2030 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2031 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2032 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2033 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2034 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2035 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2036 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2037 constraint implementations.
2039 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2043 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2044 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2045 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2046 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2047 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2048 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2049 - added tests for this (rafl)
2051 * Moose::Meta::Class
2052 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2053 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2054 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2055 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2056 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2057 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2058 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2059 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2062 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2063 - added tests for this (thepler)
2065 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2066 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2067 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2068 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2071 * Moose::Meta::Class
2072 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2073 * Moose::Meta::Method
2076 * Moose::Error::Default
2077 * Moose::Error::Croak
2078 * Moose::Error::Confess
2079 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2080 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2081 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2082 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2083 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2084 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.

2094 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2096 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2097 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2098 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2099 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2100 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2103 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2104 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2106 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2107 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2108 several major changes in this release of Moose.

2156 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2157 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2158 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2159 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2160 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2162 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2163 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2165 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2167 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ

2195 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2196 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2199 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2200 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2202 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2205 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2207 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2283 ... this is not my day today ...
2285 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2286 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2287 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2288 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2289 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2292 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2293 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2294 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2296 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2299 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2301 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2302 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2334 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2335 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2336 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2337 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2338 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2339 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2340 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2341 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2342 - added tests for this
2344 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2345 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2346 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2455 XS based functionality is now optional
2456 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2561 drink more coffee before
2562 doing release engineering
2564 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2679 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2681 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2888 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2889 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2890 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2929 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2930 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2933 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2934 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2935 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2936 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2953 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2972 - added tests for this
2975 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2976 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3015 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3018 - fixed how required methods are handled
3019 when they encounter overriden or modified
3020 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3021 - added tests for this
3023 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3024 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3025 the | always creates a union and so is
3026 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3027 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3029 - added more tests for this
3031 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3034 * Parameterized Types
3035 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3036 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3037 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3038 They can also be nested:
3039 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3040 And work with the type unions as well:
3041 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3043 * Better Framework Extendability
3044 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3045 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3046 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3047 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3050 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3051 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3052 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3053 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3056 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3058 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3059 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3212 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3213 prototypes for functions
3214 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3215 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3284 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3286 - added tests and docs for this
3287 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3288 so that you can actually document your
3289 attributes and inspect them through the
3291 - added tests and docs for this
3293 * Moose::Meta::Class
3294 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3295 it will first look in for the class in the
3296 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3297 then default to just loading $name.
3298 - added tests and docs for this
3300 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3301 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3302 - added test for this
3305 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3306 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3307 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3308 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3310 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3311 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3314 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3316 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3317 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3318 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3321 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3322 !! for this developer release to work !!
3324 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3325 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3326 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3327 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3328 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3329 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3330 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3331 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3332 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3333 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3334 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3336 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3337 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3338 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3339 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3342 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3343 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3344 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3345 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3346 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3348 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3350 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3351 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3354 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3355 called unless they actually need to be.
3356 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3357 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3358 DEMOLISH method present.
3360 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3361 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3362 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3363 type constraint, which allows for a
3364 hand optimized version of the type
3365 constraint to be used when possible.
3366 - Any internally created type constraints
3367 now provide an optimized version as well.
3369 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3371 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3372 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3373 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3375 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3376 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3377 your class namespace of these exported
3380 * Moose::Meta::Class
3381 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3382 comes up during global destruction
3384 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3388 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3391 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3392 - changed how we do type checks so that
3393 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3396 - moved accessor generation methods to
3397 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3398 conform to the API changes from
3401 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3402 - changed how constraints are compiled
3403 so that we do less recursion and more
3404 iteration. This makes the type check
3406 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3409 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3410 - created this from methods formerly found in
3411 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3413 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3414 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3417 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3419 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3420 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3422 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3424 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3425 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3426 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3427 - added tests for this
3428 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3429 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3430 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3431 - removed tests for this
3433 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3435 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3436 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3437 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3440 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3441 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3442 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3444 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3445 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3446 comments for more info.
3449 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3450 asked questions and common problems
3452 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3453 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3454 - added tests for this
3456 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3457 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3458 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3459 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3461 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3462 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3465 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3466 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3467 is much appreciated :)
3468 - added tests for this
3470 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3471 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3472 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3475 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3476 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3478 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3480 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3481 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3485 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3486 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3487 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3489 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3491 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3494 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3495 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3496 keywords because we need to localize them.
3497 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3499 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3500 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3501 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3504 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3507 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3508 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3509 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3512 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3513 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3514 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3516 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3518 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3519 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3520 bottom of your class file.
3523 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3526 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3528 - improved error message when loading modules so
3529 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3530 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3531 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3534 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3535 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3536 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3539 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3541 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3542 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3543 turn them on for you.
3544 - added tests for this
3545 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3546 in Moose::Meta::Class
3549 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3550 automatically turned on for you.
3551 - added tests for this
3554 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3555 - added tests for this
3556 - added some more edge case tests

3572 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3573 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3574 - This release works in combination with
3575 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3576 release because it uses the a new
3577 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3578 complete Role implementation. It has
3579 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3580 the the previous CPAN version. This
3581 release also lacks good updated docs,
3582 the official release will have updated docs.
3585 - refactored the keyword exports
3586 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3587 accepts more than one Role at a time
3588 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3589 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3592 - refactored the keyword exports
3593 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3594 accepts more than one Role at a time
3596 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3597 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3598 string enumerations which can be used as
3600 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3603 - more careful checking of params to new()
3606 - much work done on the role composition
3607 - many new tests for conflict detection
3608 and composition edge cases
3609 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3610 looking at the tests
3612 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3613 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3614 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3616 * Moose::Meta::Class
3617 - some small changes to support the new
3619 - some small additions to support Roles
3621 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3622 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3624 - some small changes to support the new
3626 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3627 with the 'handles' option
3628 - added several tests for this
3629 - no docs for this yet
3631 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3633 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3634 thanks to chansen for this commit
3635 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3636 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3637 on a per-attribute basis
3638 - added tests for this
3639 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3640 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3641 experimental feature and probably not finished
