1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
9 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
10 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
12 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
13 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
18 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
19 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
20 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
23 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
24 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
26 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
27 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
29 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
30 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
31 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
34 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
35 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
36 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
39 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens is the attribute has
40 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
41 only happens when a method generated because of the default is is actually
42 called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
44 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
45 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
48 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
49 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
56 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
57 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
58 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
60 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
61 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
62 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
65 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
66 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
67 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
69 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
70 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
71 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
73 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
74 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
78 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
79 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
80 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
82 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
83 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
84 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
85 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
87 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
91 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
92 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
95 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
96 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
98 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
102 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
103 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
104 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
106 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
110 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
111 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
115 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
116 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
117 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
119 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
120 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
121 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
123 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
127 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
129 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
133 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
135 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
136 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
141 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
142 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
144 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
145 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
146 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
147 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
148 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
150 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
151 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
152 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
153 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
155 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
159 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
160 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
165 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
167 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
169 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
174 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
176 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
180 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
181 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
182 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
184 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
185 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
186 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
187 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
189 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
190 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
191 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
192 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
193 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
196 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
201 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
202 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
203 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
204 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
205 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
208 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
212 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
215 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
216 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
220 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
221 function (not just method). (doy)
225 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
226 and aren't easily installable/testable.
228 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
232 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
233 to be overridden more easily (doy).
235 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
239 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
240 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
242 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
246 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
247 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
248 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
250 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
254 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
255 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
256 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
258 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
259 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
263 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
264 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
266 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
267 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
271 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
272 is applied to a class (t0m).
274 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
275 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
277 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
280 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
281 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
283 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
284 be much more robust. (doy)
286 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
288 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
291 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
295 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
296 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
298 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
302 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
303 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
305 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
308 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
309 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
310 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
312 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
313 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
314 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
317 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
319 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
323 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
324 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
328 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
330 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
335 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
339 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
340 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
344 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
346 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
350 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
351 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
355 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
356 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
360 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
361 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
363 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
367 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
368 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
369 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
372 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
376 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
377 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
378 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
379 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
381 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
385 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
386 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
387 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
391 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
394 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
398 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
399 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
400 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
404 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
405 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
407 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
408 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
409 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
410 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
412 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
416 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
420 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
421 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
423 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
424 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
425 - Moose::Util::does_role
426 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
427 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
428 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
430 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
434 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
435 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
436 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
439 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
443 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
444 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
447 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
451 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
452 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
455 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
459 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
461 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
462 class. (Dave Rolsky).
464 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
465 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
466 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
468 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
469 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
470 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
473 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
474 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
476 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
477 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
478 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
480 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
482 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
483 substr et al, again. (sorear)
485 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
487 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
490 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
491 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
493 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
494 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
496 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
497 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
498 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
499 dependencies installed.
501 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
502 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
505 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
507 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
511 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
513 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
514 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
515 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
517 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
518 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
519 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
521 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
522 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
525 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
526 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
527 others. (nothingmuch)
529 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
530 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
531 remove_accessors. (doy)
533 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
534 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
535 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
537 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
538 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
540 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
541 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
542 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
543 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
546 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
547 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
549 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
550 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
552 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
554 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
555 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
558 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
559 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
560 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
561 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
562 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
564 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
565 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
566 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
567 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
568 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
569 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
570 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
573 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
574 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
575 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
576 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
577 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
579 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
580 which were not receiving the value of
581 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
582 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
583 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
584 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
588 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
589 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
590 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
591 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
592 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
595 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
596 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
597 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
598 - added tests for this (Stevan)
601 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
602 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
603 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
606 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
607 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
608 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
610 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
611 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
612 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
615 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
616 class if you pass it options for
617 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
618 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
619 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
620 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
621 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
622 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
623 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
624 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
625 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
627 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
628 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
629 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
630 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
631 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
634 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
635 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
636 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
637 existing delegation API. (hdp)
639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
640 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
641 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
642 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
643 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
644 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
647 * Moose::Error::Croak
648 * Moose::Error::Confess
649 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
650 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
653 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
656 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
657 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
658 installing a broken sub. (doy)
661 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
664 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
665 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
666 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
668 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
669 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
670 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
671 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
672 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
674 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
675 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
678 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
680 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
681 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
684 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
685 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
687 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
688 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
689 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
690 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
692 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
693 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
694 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
695 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
696 using it for new code!
698 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
699 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
700 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
701 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
703 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
704 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
705 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
706 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
707 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
708 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
709 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
710 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
713 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
716 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
717 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
720 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
721 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
723 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
724 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
725 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
728 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
729 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
730 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
733 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
734 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
736 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
737 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
738 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
741 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
742 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
743 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
744 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
745 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
746 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
748 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
750 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
753 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
754 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
755 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
757 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
758 associated_methods. (hdp)
759 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
760 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
761 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
762 misspelled) arguments
764 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
765 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
766 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
767 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
769 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
770 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
771 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
773 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
776 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
777 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
778 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
781 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
782 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
784 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
786 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
787 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
789 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
790 * Moose::Manual::Types
791 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
792 string parsing rathole (mst)
794 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
795 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
796 using plain objects instead
798 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
799 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
802 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
804 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
805 three times today (perigrin)
806 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
807 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
809 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
810 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
811 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
812 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
815 - A role's required methods are now represented by
816 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
817 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
818 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
819 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
820 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
823 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
824 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
825 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
826 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
829 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
831 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
834 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
836 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
839 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
840 during global destruction. This method has been made more
841 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
845 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
846 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
849 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
850 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
852 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
853 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
854 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
857 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
859 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
860 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
863 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
867 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
868 methods during global destruction (doy)
871 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
872 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
876 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
877 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
880 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
881 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
884 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
885 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
887 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
889 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
893 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
894 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
895 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
898 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
899 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
900 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
903 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
905 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
906 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
907 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
910 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
911 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
912 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
913 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
915 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
916 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
917 of the Moose core (Sartak)
920 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
923 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
924 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
925 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
929 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
930 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
933 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
935 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
938 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
939 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
942 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
943 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
946 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
947 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
950 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
953 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
955 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
956 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
960 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
962 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
963 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
966 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
967 * More deprecations and renamings
968 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
969 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
970 when an object is constructed)
973 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
974 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
975 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
977 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
978 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
979 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
980 feature, and it works again.
983 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
985 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
987 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
988 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
989 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
991 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
992 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
993 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
994 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
995 message. Test provided by perigrin.
997 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
998 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
999 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1000 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1001 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1004 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1005 metaclass object. (hdp)
1007 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1008 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1009 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1010 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1011 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1012 point out this fact. (hdp)
1014 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1015 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1017 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1018 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1020 * Moose::Meta::Class
1021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1022 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1023 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1024 called during instance construction were passed the
1025 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1026 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1028 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1029 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1032 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1033 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1034 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1037 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1038 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1039 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1040 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1041 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1043 - Moose::Meta::Class
1044 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1046 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1047 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1048 when an object is constructed)
1049 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1051 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1052 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1053 when an object is constructed)
1054 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1055 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1056 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1059 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1061 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1062 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1064 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1066 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1067 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1068 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1070 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1071 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1072 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1074 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1076 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1077 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1079 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1080 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1083 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1084 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1087 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1088 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1089 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1091 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1092 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1096 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1097 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1098 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1100 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1101 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1104 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1105 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1106 with recommended workarounds.
1108 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1109 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1111 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1112 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1113 (yes, spelled like that).
1115 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1116 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1118 * Moose::Meta::Class
1119 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1120 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1122 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1124 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1125 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1126 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1127 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1128 instead. Reported by doy.
1130 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1132 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1133 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1135 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1136 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1137 message) is now deprecated.
1138 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1139 often got it wrong. For example:
1141 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1143 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1147 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1148 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1149 bite you in weird cases.
1151 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1152 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1153 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1154 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1156 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1157 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1161 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1164 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1165 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1168 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1169 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1171 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1172 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1175 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1176 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1177 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1178 - added tests for this (stevan)
1180 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1181 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1182 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1183 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1187 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1188 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1189 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1190 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1192 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1193 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1194 - added tests for this (rafl)
1196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1197 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1198 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1199 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1203 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1204 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1207 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1208 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1209 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1211 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1213 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1214 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1216 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1217 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1218 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1219 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1220 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1222 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1223 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1224 error message did not specify the attribute name
1227 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1229 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1231 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1232 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1233 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1235 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1236 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1239 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1241 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1242 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1243 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1244 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1246 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1248 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1249 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1250 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1251 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1253 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1254 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1255 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1257 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1258 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1259 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1260 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1261 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1264 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1265 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1266 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1267 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1269 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1270 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1271 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1272 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1273 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1274 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1276 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1277 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1278 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1279 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1280 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1281 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1283 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1284 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1286 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1287 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1288 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1289 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1291 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1292 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1295 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1299 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1300 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1302 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1303 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1304 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1305 guts. (nothingmuch).
1307 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1309 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1311 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1312 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1313 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1314 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1316 * Moose::Meta::Class
1317 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1320 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1321 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1323 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1324 * Moose::Unsweetened
1325 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1328 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1329 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1330 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1331 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1332 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1333 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1335 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1336 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1337 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1338 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1339 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1340 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1341 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1342 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1343 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1344 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1346 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1348 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1349 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1351 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1352 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1353 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1354 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1356 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1357 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1358 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1359 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1360 same methods for a single role did not work
1361 right (worked just fine with multiple
1363 - added test for this (stevan)
1365 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1366 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1367 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1370 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1371 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1372 - added test for this (t0m)
1375 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1376 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1377 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1380 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1381 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1382 - added test for this (t0m)
1384 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1385 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1386 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1387 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1388 - added test for this (perigrin)
1391 - create method for constructing a role
1392 dynamically (Sartak)
1393 - added test for this (Sartak)
1394 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1395 - added test for this (Sartak)
1398 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1400 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1401 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1402 methods is useful (Sartak)
1404 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1405 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1406 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1409 * Moose::Meta::Class
1410 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1411 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1412 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1413 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1414 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1415 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1418 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1419 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1421 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1422 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1423 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1424 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1425 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1427 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1429 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1430 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1431 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1434 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1435 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1436 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1437 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1438 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1439 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1442 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1443 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1444 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1445 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1446 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1447 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1448 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1449 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1450 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1451 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1452 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1454 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1455 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1458 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1459 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1460 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1461 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1462 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1464 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1466 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1467 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1468 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1470 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1471 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1473 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1474 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1475 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1476 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1479 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1480 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1482 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1484 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1485 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1487 * Moose::Meta::Class
1488 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1489 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1490 a required attribute
1492 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1493 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1494 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1495 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1497 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1498 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1500 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1501 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1502 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1503 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1504 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1505 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1506 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1507 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1509 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1510 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1511 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1513 * Roles and role application
1514 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1515 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1516 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1517 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1518 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1520 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1521 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1524 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1525 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1526 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1527 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1528 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1531 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1532 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1533 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1534 changes in the Moose internals.
1536 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1537 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1538 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1541 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1542 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1543 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1544 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1546 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1547 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1548 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1549 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1551 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1552 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1553 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1554 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1555 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1556 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1557 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1558 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1559 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1560 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1561 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1562 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1563 constraint implementations.
1565 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1569 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1570 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1571 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1572 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1573 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1574 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1575 - added tests for this (rafl)
1577 * Moose::Meta::Class
1578 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1579 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1580 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1581 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1582 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1583 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1584 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1585 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1588 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1589 - added tests for this (thepler)
1591 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1592 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1593 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1594 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1597 * Moose::Meta::Class
1598 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1599 * Moose::Meta::Method
1602 * Moose::Error::Default
1603 * Moose::Error::Croak
1604 * Moose::Error::Confess
1605 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1606 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1607 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1608 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1609 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1610 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1612 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1614 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1615 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1617 * Moose::Unsweetened
1618 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1619 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1620 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1622 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1623 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1624 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1625 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1626 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1629 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1630 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1632 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1633 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1634 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1635 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1638 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1640 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1641 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1643 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1646 - Various bug fixes.
1648 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1649 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1651 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1653 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1654 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1655 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1656 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1657 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1658 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1660 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1661 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1662 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1664 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1665 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1666 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1669 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1670 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1671 dependency to 0.64_07.
1673 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1674 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1675 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1677 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1678 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1681 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1682 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1683 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1684 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1685 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1686 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1688 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1689 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1691 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1693 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1694 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1698 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1699 method when that method was provided by another role being
1700 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1701 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1703 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1705 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1706 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1708 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1709 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1710 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1711 - added test for this (t0m)
1713 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1714 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1715 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1717 - added test for this (t0m)
1720 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1721 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1722 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1725 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1726 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1728 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1730 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1731 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1733 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1734 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1735 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1737 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1738 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1741 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1742 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1743 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1744 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1748 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1749 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1750 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1753 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1754 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1755 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1756 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1759 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1763 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1764 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1765 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1767 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1768 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1769 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1770 created so that the process can be more easily
1771 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1773 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1774 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1775 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1776 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1778 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1779 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1782 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1783 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1785 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1786 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1787 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1789 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1790 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1791 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1793 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1794 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1796 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1797 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1800 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1801 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1805 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1806 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1808 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1809 ... this is not my day today ...
1811 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1812 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1813 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1814 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1815 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1818 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1819 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1820 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1821 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1822 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1825 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1827 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1828 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1829 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1830 this is not ever something you want to do
1831 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1832 - added tests for this (stevan)
1835 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1837 - added test for this
1839 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1840 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1841 - added tests for this (wreis)
1843 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1844 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1845 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1846 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1848 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1849 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1850 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1853 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1855 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1857 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1860 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1861 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1862 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1863 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1864 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1865 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1866 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1867 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1868 - added tests for this
1870 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1871 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1872 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1873 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1875 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1878 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1879 - added tests for this (sartak)
1880 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1881 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1884 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1886 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1887 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1890 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1891 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1892 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1894 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1896 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1897 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1900 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1902 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1904 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1905 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1906 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1908 - added docs for this (TODO).
1909 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1910 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1911 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1912 - fix builder and default both being used
1917 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1919 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1920 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1921 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1925 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1929 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1930 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1931 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1933 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1934 - move the ClassName type check code to
1935 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1937 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1938 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1940 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1941 (early morning release engineering)--
1943 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1944 which was causing the indexer to choke
1946 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1947 (late night release engineering)--
1949 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1950 changes in this release
1952 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1953 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1954 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1956 * Moose::Meta::Class
1957 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1958 since it is called so often by &meta
1960 * Moose::Meta::Class
1962 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1963 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1966 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1967 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1968 method for immutablization to check if the
1969 destructor object even needs to be created
1972 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1973 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1974 - added more descriptive error message to help
1975 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1976 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1978 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1980 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1981 XS based functionality is now optional
1982 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1983 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1984 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1986 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1987 to take care of this, mostly we added
1988 support for the package_name and name
1989 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1990 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1991 support regexp matching of names
1992 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1993 - tests added for this
1994 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1995 is currently not supported in roles,
1996 but, ... patches welcome
1997 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1998 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1999 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2002 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2003 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2004 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2005 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2006 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2007 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2008 - added test for this
2010 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2011 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2012 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2015 * Moose::Meta::Class
2016 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2020 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2022 - added tests for this
2023 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2024 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2026 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2027 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2028 themselves parameterizable types
2030 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2031 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2032 called by the inlined immutable
2034 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2036 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2037 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2038 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2039 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2041 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2042 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2046 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2047 causing occasional cpantester failures
2048 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2049 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2051 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2053 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2054 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2057 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2058 ->body when looping through the
2059 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2061 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was

2205 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2207 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2251 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2252 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2545 when they encounter overriden or modified
2546 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2547 - added tests for this

2557 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2560 * Parameterized Types
2561 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2562 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2563 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2564 They can also be nested:
2565 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2566 And work with the type unions as well:
2567 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2569 * Better Framework Extendability
2570 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2571 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2572 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2573 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2576 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2577 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2578 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2579 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2738 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2739 prototypes for functions
2740 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2741 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2742 - added tests and docs for this
2743 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2744 default for where be { 1 }
2745 - added test for this
2747 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2748 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2749 merlyn for finding this bug
2750 - tests added for this
2751 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2754 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2755 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2756 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2757 - added tests for this
2759 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2761 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
2762 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
2763 - altered unimport tests to handle this
2766 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
2768 * Moose::Meta::Class
2769 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
2770 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
2773 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2774 where not handled correctly in roles
2775 - added tests for this
2777 * Moose::Meta::Class
2778 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2779 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2780 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2782 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2783 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2785 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2786 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2787 so this release is just to fix that.
2790 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2791 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2792 (thanks to konobi for this)
2793 - added tests and docs
2795 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2796 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2798 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2799 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2800 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2801 - added tests for this
2802 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2803 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2804 functions to facilitate introspection.
2806 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2807 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2808 to build the list of delegated methods
2809 correctly (and not override important
2810 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2812 - added tests and docs for this
2813 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2814 so that you can actually document your
2815 attributes and inspect them through the
2817 - added tests and docs for this
2819 * Moose::Meta::Class
2820 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2821 it will first look in for the class in the
2822 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2823 then default to just loading $name.
2824 - added tests and docs for this
2826 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2827 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2828 - added test for this
2831 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2832 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2833 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2834 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2836 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2837 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2840 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2842 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2843 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2844 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2847 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2848 !! for this developer release to work !!
2850 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2851 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2852 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2853 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2854 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2855 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2856 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2857 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2858 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2859 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2860 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2862 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2863 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2864 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2865 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2868 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2869 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2870 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2871 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2872 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2874 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2876 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2877 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2880 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2881 called unless they actually need to be.
2882 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2883 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2884 DEMOLISH method present.
2886 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2887 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2888 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2889 type constraint, which allows for a
2890 hand optimized version of the type
2891 constraint to be used when possible.
2892 - Any internally created type constraints
2893 now provide an optimized version as well.
2895 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2897 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2898 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2899 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2901 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2902 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2903 your class namespace of these exported
2906 * Moose::Meta::Class
2907 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2908 comes up during global destruction
2910 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2914 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2917 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2918 - changed how we do type checks so that
2919 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2922 - moved accessor generation methods to
2923 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2924 conform to the API changes from
2927 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2928 - changed how constraints are compiled
2929 so that we do less recursion and more
2930 iteration. This makes the type check
2932 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2935 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2936 - created this from methods formerly found in
2937 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2939 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2940 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2942 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2943 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2945 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2946 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2948 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2950 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2951 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2952 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2953 - added tests for this
2954 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2955 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2956 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2957 - removed tests for this
2959 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2961 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2962 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2963 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2966 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2967 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2968 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2970 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2971 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2972 comments for more info.
2975 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2976 asked questions and common problems
2978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2979 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2980 - added tests for this
2982 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2983 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2984 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2985 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2987 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2988 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2991 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2992 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2993 is much appreciated :)
2994 - added tests for this
2996 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2997 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2998 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3001 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3002 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3004 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3006 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3007 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3011 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3012 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3013 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3015 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3017 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3020 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3021 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3022 keywords because we need to localize them.
3023 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3025 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3026 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3027 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3030 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3033 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3034 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3035 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3038 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3039 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3040 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3042 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3044 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3045 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3046 bottom of your class file.
3049 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3052 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3054 - improved error message when loading modules so
3055 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3056 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3057 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3060 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3061 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3062 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3064 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3065 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3067 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3068 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3069 turn them on for you.
3070 - added tests for this

3099 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3100 - This release works in combination with
3101 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3102 release because it uses the a new
3103 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3104 complete Role implementation. It has
3105 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3106 the the previous CPAN version. This
3107 release also lacks good updated docs,
3108 the official release will have updated docs.
3111 - refactored the keyword exports
3112 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3113 accepts more than one Role at a time

3119 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3120 accepts more than one Role at a time
3122 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3124 string enumerations which can be used as
3126 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3129 - more careful checking of params to new()
3132 - much work done on the role composition
3133 - many new tests for conflict detection
3134 and composition edge cases
3135 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3136 looking at the tests
3138 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3139 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3140 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3142 * Moose::Meta::Class

3150 - some small changes to support the new
3152 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3153 with the 'handles' option
3154 - added several tests for this
3155 - no docs for this yet

3159 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3160 thanks to chansen for this commit
3161 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3162 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3163 on a per-attribute basis
3164 - added tests for this
