1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
6 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
7 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
10 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
11 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
13 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
15 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
16 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
19 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
20 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
21 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
22 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
23 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
25 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
26 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
27 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
28 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
29 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
30 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
31 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
34 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
35 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
36 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
37 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
38 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
40 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
41 which were not receiving the value of
42 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
43 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
44 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
45 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
49 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
50 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
51 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
53 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
54 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
55 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
56 - added tests for this (Stevan)
59 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
60 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
61 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
64 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
65 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
66 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
68 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
69 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
70 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
73 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
74 class if you pass it options for
75 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
76 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
77 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
78 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
79 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
80 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
81 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
82 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
83 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
85 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
86 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
87 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
88 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
89 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
92 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
93 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
94 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
95 existing delegation API. (hdp)
97 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
98 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
99 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
100 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
101 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
102 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
105 * Moose::Error::Croak
106 * Moose::Error::Confess
107 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
108 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
111 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
114 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
115 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
116 installing a broken sub. (doy)
119 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
122 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
123 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
124 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
126 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
127 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
128 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
129 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
130 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
132 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
133 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
136 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
138 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
139 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
142 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
143 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
145 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
146 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
147 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
148 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
150 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
151 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
152 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
153 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
154 using it for new code!
156 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
157 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
158 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
159 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
161 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
162 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
163 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
164 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
165 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
166 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
167 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
168 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
171 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
174 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
175 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
178 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
179 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
182 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
183 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
186 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
187 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
188 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
191 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
192 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
194 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
195 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
196 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
199 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
200 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
201 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
202 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
203 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
204 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
206 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
208 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
211 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
212 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
213 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
215 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
216 associated_methods. (hdp)
217 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
218 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
219 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
220 misspelled) arguments
222 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
223 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
224 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
225 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
228 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
229 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
231 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
235 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
236 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
239 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
240 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
242 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
244 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
245 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
247 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
248 * Moose::Manual::Types
249 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
250 string parsing rathole (mst)
252 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
253 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
254 using plain objects instead
256 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
257 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
260 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
262 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
263 three times today (perigrin)
264 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
265 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
268 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
269 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
270 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
273 - A role's required methods are now represented by
274 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
275 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
276 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
277 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
278 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
281 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
282 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
283 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
284 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
287 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
289 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
292 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
294 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
297 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
298 during global destruction. This method has been made more
299 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
303 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
304 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
307 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
308 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
310 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
311 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
312 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
315 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
317 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
318 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
321 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
325 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
326 methods during global destruction (doy)
329 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
330 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
334 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
335 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
338 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
339 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
342 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
343 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
345 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
347 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
351 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
352 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
353 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
356 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
357 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
358 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
361 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
363 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
364 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
365 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
368 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
369 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
370 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
371 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
373 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
374 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
375 of the Moose core (Sartak)
378 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
381 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
382 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
383 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
387 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
388 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
391 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
393 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
396 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
397 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
400 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
401 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
404 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
405 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
408 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
411 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
413 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
414 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
418 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
420 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
421 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
424 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
425 * More deprecations and renamings
426 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
427 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
428 when an object is constructed)
431 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
432 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
433 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
436 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
437 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
438 feature, and it works again.
441 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
443 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
445 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
446 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
447 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
450 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
451 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
452 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
453 message. Test provided by perigrin.
455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
456 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
457 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
458 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
459 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
462 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
463 metaclass object. (hdp)
465 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
466 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
467 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
468 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
469 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
470 point out this fact. (hdp)
472 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
473 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
475 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
476 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
479 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
480 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
481 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
482 called during instance construction were passed the
483 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
484 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
486 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
487 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
490 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
491 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
492 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
495 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
496 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
497 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
498 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
499 them, but they are not for "public" use.
502 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
504 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
505 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
506 when an object is constructed)
507 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
509 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
510 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
511 when an object is constructed)
512 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
513 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
514 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
517 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
519 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
520 * No changes from 0.72_01.
522 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
524 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
525 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
526 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
528 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
529 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
530 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
532 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
534 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
535 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
537 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
538 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
541 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
542 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
545 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
546 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
547 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
549 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
550 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
554 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
555 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
556 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
558 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
559 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
562 * Moose::Manual::Delta
563 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
564 with recommended workarounds.
566 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
567 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
569 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
570 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
571 (yes, spelled like that).
573 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
574 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
577 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
578 changes in latest Class::MOP.
580 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
582 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
583 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
584 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
585 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
586 instead. Reported by doy.
588 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
590 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
591 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
593 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
594 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
595 message) is now deprecated.
596 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
597 often got it wrong. For example:
599 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
601 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
605 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
606 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
607 bite you in weird cases.
609 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
610 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
611 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
614 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
615 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
619 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
622 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
623 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
626 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
627 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
629 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
630 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
633 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
634 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
635 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
636 - added tests for this (stevan)
638 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
639 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
640 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
641 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
645 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
646 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
647 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
648 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
650 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
651 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
652 - added tests for this (rafl)
654 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
655 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
656 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
657 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
661 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
662 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
665 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
666 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
667 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
669 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
671 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
672 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
675 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
676 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
677 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
678 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
681 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
682 error message did not specify the attribute name
685 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
687 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
689 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
690 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
691 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
693 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
694 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
697 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
699 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
700 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
701 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
702 of fixes and formatting improvements.
704 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
706 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
707 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
708 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
709 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
711 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
712 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
713 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
715 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
716 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
717 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
718 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
719 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
722 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
723 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
724 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
725 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
727 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
728 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
729 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
730 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
731 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
732 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
734 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
735 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
736 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
737 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
738 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
739 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
741 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
742 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
744 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
745 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
746 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
747 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
749 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
750 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
753 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
757 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
758 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
760 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
761 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
762 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
765 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
766 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
767 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
769 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
770 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
771 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
772 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
775 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
778 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
779 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
781 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
783 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
786 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
787 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
788 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
789 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
790 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
791 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
793 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
794 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
795 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
796 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
797 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
798 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
799 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
800 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
801 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
802 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
804 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
806 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
807 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
809 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
810 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
811 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
812 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
814 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
815 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
816 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
817 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
818 same methods for a single role did not work
819 right (worked just fine with multiple
821 - added test for this (stevan)
823 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
824 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
825 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
828 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
829 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
830 - added test for this (t0m)
833 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
834 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
835 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
837 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
838 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
839 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
840 - added test for this (t0m)
842 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
843 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
844 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
845 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
846 - added test for this (perigrin)
849 - create method for constructing a role
851 - added test for this (Sartak)
852 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
853 - added test for this (Sartak)
856 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
858 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
859 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
860 methods is useful (Sartak)
862 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
863 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
864 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
868 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
869 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
870 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
871 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
872 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
873 - added tests for this (jdv79)
876 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
877 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
879 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
880 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
881 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
882 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
883 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
885 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
887 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
888 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
889 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
892 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
893 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
894 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
895 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
896 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
897 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
900 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
901 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
902 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
903 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
904 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
905 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
906 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
907 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
908 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
909 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
910 future. (jnapiorkowski)
912 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
913 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
916 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
917 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
918 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
919 type. (jnapiorkowski)
920 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
922 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
924 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
925 predicate, and link to more details sections in
926 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
928 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
929 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
931 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
932 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
933 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
934 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
937 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
938 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
940 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
942 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
943 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
946 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
947 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
950 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
951 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
952 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
953 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
955 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
956 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
958 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
959 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
960 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
961 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
962 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
963 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
964 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
965 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
967 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
968 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
969 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
971 * Roles and role application
972 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
973 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
974 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
975 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
976 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
978 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
979 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
982 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
983 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
984 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
985 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
986 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
989 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
990 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
991 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
992 changes in the Moose internals.
994 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
995 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
996 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
999 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1000 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1001 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1002 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1004 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1005 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1006 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1007 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1009 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1010 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1011 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1012 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1013 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1014 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1015 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1016 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1017 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1018 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1019 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1020 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1021 constraint implementations.
1023 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1027 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1028 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1029 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1030 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1031 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1032 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1033 - added tests for this (rafl)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Class
1036 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1037 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1038 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1039 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1040 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1041 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1042 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1043 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1046 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1047 - added tests for this (thepler)
1049 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1050 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1051 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1052 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1055 * Moose::Meta::Class
1056 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1057 * Moose::Meta::Method
1060 * Moose::Error::Default
1061 * Moose::Error::Croak
1062 * Moose::Error::Confess
1063 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1064 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1065 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1066 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1067 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1068 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1070 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1072 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1073 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1075 * Moose::Unsweetened
1076 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1077 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1078 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1080 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1081 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1082 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1083 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1084 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1087 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1088 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1090 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1091 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1092 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1093 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1096 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1098 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1099 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1101 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1104 - Various bug fixes.
1106 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1107 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1109 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1111 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1112 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1113 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1114 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1115 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1116 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1118 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1119 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1120 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1122 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1123 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1124 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1127 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1128 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1129 dependency to 0.64_07.
1131 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1132 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1133 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1135 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1136 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1139 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1140 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1141 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1142 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1143 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1144 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1146 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1147 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1149 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1151 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1152 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1156 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1157 method when that method was provided by another role being
1158 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1159 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1161 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1163 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1164 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1166 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1167 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1168 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1169 - added test for this (t0m)
1171 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1172 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1173 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1175 - added test for this (t0m)
1178 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1179 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1180 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1183 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1184 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1186 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1188 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1189 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1191 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1192 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1193 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1195 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1196 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1199 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1200 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1201 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1202 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1206 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1207 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1208 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1211 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1212 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1213 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1214 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1217 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1221 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1222 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1223 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1225 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1227 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1228 created so that the process can be more easily
1229 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1231 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1232 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1233 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1234 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1236 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1237 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1240 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1241 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1243 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1244 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1245 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1247 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1248 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1249 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1251 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1252 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1254 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1255 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1258 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1259 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1263 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1264 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1266 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1267 ... this is not my day today ...
1269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1270 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1271 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1272 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1273 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1276 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1277 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1278 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1279 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1280 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1283 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1285 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1286 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1287 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1288 this is not ever something you want to do
1289 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1290 - added tests for this (stevan)
1293 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1295 - added test for this
1297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1298 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1299 - added tests for this (wreis)
1301 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1302 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1303 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1304 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1306 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1307 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1308 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1311 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1313 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1315 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1318 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1319 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1320 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1321 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1322 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1323 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1324 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1325 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1326 - added tests for this
1328 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1329 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1330 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1331 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1333 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1335 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1336 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1337 - added tests for this (sartak)
1338 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1339 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1342 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1344 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1345 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1347 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1348 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1349 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1350 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1352 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1354 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1440 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1441 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1442 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1516 ->body when looping through the
1517 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1519 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1520 eating the $@ values, and so not
1521 working correctly, it still kind of
1522 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1523 - added tests for this

1663 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1665 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2002 - fixed how required methods are handled
2003 when they encounter overriden or modified
2004 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2005 - added tests for this
2007 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2008 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2009 the | always creates a union and so is
2010 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2011 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2013 - added more tests for this
2015 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2018 * Parameterized Types
2019 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2020 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2021 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2022 They can also be nested:
2023 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2024 And work with the type unions as well:
2025 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2027 * Better Framework Extendability
2028 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2029 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2030 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2031 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2034 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2035 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2036 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2037 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2191 the other side (perigrin)
2193 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2194 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2195 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2196 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2197 prototypes for functions
2198 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2199 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2209 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2212 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2213 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2214 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2215 - added tests for this
2217 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2219 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2241 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2243 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2244 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2245 so this release is just to fix that.
2248 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2249 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2250 (thanks to konobi for this)
2251 - added tests and docs
2253 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2262 functions to facilitate introspection.
2264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2265 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2266 to build the list of delegated methods
2267 correctly (and not override important
2268 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2270 - added tests and docs for this
2271 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2272 so that you can actually document your
2273 attributes and inspect them through the
2275 - added tests and docs for this
2277 * Moose::Meta::Class
2278 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2279 it will first look in for the class in the
2280 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2281 then default to just loading $name.
2282 - added tests and docs for this
2284 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2285 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2286 - added test for this
2289 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2290 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2291 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2292 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2294 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2295 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2298 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2300 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2301 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2302 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2305 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2306 !! for this developer release to work !!
2308 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2309 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2310 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2311 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2312 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2313 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2314 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2315 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2316 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2317 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2318 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2320 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2321 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2322 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2323 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2326 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2328 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2329 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2330 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2332 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2334 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2335 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2338 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2339 called unless they actually need to be.
2340 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2341 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2342 DEMOLISH method present.
2344 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2345 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2346 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2347 type constraint, which allows for a
2348 hand optimized version of the type
2349 constraint to be used when possible.
2350 - Any internally created type constraints
2351 now provide an optimized version as well.
2353 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2355 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2356 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2357 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2359 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2360 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2361 your class namespace of these exported
2364 * Moose::Meta::Class
2365 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2366 comes up during global destruction
2368 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2372 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2375 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2376 - changed how we do type checks so that
2377 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2380 - moved accessor generation methods to
2381 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2382 conform to the API changes from
2385 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2386 - changed how constraints are compiled
2387 so that we do less recursion and more
2388 iteration. This makes the type check
2390 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2393 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2394 - created this from methods formerly found in
2395 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2397 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2398 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2400 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2401 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2403 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2404 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2406 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2408 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2409 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2410 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2411 - added tests for this
2412 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2413 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2414 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2415 - removed tests for this
2417 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2419 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2420 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2421 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2424 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2425 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2426 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2428 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2429 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2430 comments for more info.
2433 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2434 asked questions and common problems
2436 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2437 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2438 - added tests for this
2440 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2441 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2442 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2443 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2445 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2446 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2449 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2450 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2451 is much appreciated :)
2452 - added tests for this
2454 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2455 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2456 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2459 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2460 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2462 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2464 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2465 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2469 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2470 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2471 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2473 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2475 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2478 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2479 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2480 keywords because we need to localize them.
2481 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2483 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2484 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2485 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2488 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2491 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2492 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2493 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2496 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2497 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2498 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2500 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2502 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2503 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2504 bottom of your class file.
2507 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2510 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2512 - improved error message when loading modules so
2513 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2514 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2515 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2518 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2519 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2520 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2523 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2525 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2526 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2527 turn them on for you.
2528 - added tests for this
2529 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2530 in Moose::Meta::Class

2557 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2558 - This release works in combination with
2559 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2560 release because it uses the a new
2561 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2562 complete Role implementation. It has
2563 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2564 the the previous CPAN version. This
2565 release also lacks good updated docs,
2566 the official release will have updated docs.
2569 - refactored the keyword exports
2570 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2571 accepts more than one Role at a time

2577 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2578 accepts more than one Role at a time
2580 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2582 string enumerations which can be used as
2584 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2587 - more careful checking of params to new()
2590 - much work done on the role composition
2591 - many new tests for conflict detection
2592 and composition edge cases
2593 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2594 looking at the tests

2619 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2620 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2621 on a per-attribute basis
2622 - added tests for this
2623 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2624 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2625 experimental feature and probably not finished

2627 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2628 - added tests for this
