1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
9 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
10 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
11 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
15 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
16 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
23 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
24 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
27 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
31 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
32 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
34 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
35 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
39 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
40 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
41 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
42 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
43 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
44 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
46 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
47 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
49 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
50 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
51 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
54 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
55 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
57 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
62 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
63 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
65 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
69 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
70 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
71 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
73 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
77 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
78 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
79 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
81 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
82 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
85 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
86 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
89 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
90 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
91 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
93 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
94 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
99 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
100 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
101 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
102 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
104 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
105 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
107 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
108 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
110 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
111 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
112 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
113 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
115 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
116 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
117 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
120 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
121 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
122 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
123 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
125 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
126 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
129 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
130 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
131 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
133 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
137 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
138 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
139 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
141 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
142 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
143 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
146 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
147 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
148 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
150 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
151 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
152 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
154 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
155 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
159 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
160 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
161 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
163 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
164 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
165 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
166 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
168 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
172 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
173 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
174 value is a reference.
176 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
177 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
179 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
183 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
184 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
185 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
187 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
191 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
192 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
196 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
197 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
198 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
200 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
201 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
202 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
204 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
208 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
210 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
214 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
216 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
217 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
222 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
223 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
225 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
226 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
227 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
228 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
229 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
231 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
232 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
233 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
234 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
236 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
240 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
241 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
246 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
248 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
250 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
255 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
257 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
261 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
262 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
263 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
265 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
266 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
267 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
268 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
270 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
271 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
272 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
273 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
274 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
277 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
282 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
283 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
284 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
285 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
286 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
289 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
293 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
296 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
297 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
301 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
302 function (not just method). (doy)
306 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
307 and aren't easily installable/testable.
309 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
313 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
314 to be overridden more easily (doy).
316 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
320 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
321 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
323 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
327 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
328 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
329 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
331 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
335 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
336 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
337 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
339 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
340 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
344 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
345 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
347 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
348 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
352 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
353 is applied to a class (t0m).
355 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
356 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
358 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
361 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
362 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
364 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
365 be much more robust. (doy)
367 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
369 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
372 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
376 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
377 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
379 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
383 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
384 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
386 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
389 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
390 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
391 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
393 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
394 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
395 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
398 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
400 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
404 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
405 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
409 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
411 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
416 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
420 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
421 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
425 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
427 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
431 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
432 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
436 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
437 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
441 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
442 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
444 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
448 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
449 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
450 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
453 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
457 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
458 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
459 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
460 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
462 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
466 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
467 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
468 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
472 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
475 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
479 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
480 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
481 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
485 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
486 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
488 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
489 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
490 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
491 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
493 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
497 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
501 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
502 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
504 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
505 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
506 - Moose::Util::does_role
507 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
508 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
509 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
511 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
515 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
516 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
517 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
520 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
524 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
525 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
528 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
532 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
533 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
536 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
540 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
542 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
543 class. (Dave Rolsky).
545 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
546 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
547 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
549 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
550 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
551 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
554 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
555 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
557 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
558 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
559 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
561 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
563 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
564 substr et al, again. (sorear)
566 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
568 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
571 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
572 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
574 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
575 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
577 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
578 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
579 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
580 dependencies installed.
582 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
583 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
586 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
588 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
592 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
595 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
596 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
598 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
599 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
600 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
602 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
603 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
606 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
607 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
608 others. (nothingmuch)
610 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
611 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
612 remove_accessors. (doy)
614 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
615 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
616 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
618 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
619 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
621 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
622 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
623 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
624 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
627 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
628 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
631 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
633 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
635 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
636 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
640 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
641 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
642 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
643 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
645 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
646 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
648 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
649 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
650 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
651 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
654 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
655 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
656 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
657 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
658 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
660 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
661 which were not receiving the value of
662 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
663 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
664 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
665 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
669 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
670 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
671 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
672 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
673 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
676 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
677 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
678 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
679 - added tests for this (Stevan)
682 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
683 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
684 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
687 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
688 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
689 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
691 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
692 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
693 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
696 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
697 class if you pass it options for
698 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
699 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
700 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
701 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
702 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
703 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
704 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
705 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
706 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
708 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
709 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
710 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
711 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
712 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
715 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
716 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
717 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
718 existing delegation API. (hdp)
720 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
721 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
722 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
723 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
724 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
725 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
728 * Moose::Error::Croak
729 * Moose::Error::Confess
730 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
731 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
734 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
737 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
738 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
739 installing a broken sub. (doy)
742 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
745 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
746 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
747 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
749 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
750 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
751 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
752 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
753 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
755 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
756 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
759 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
761 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
762 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
765 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
766 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
768 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
769 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
770 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
771 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
773 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
774 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
775 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
776 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
777 using it for new code!
779 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
780 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
781 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
782 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
784 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
785 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
786 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
787 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
788 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
789 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
790 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
791 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
794 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
797 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
798 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
801 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
802 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
804 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
805 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
806 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
809 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
810 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
811 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
814 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
815 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
817 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
818 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
819 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
822 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
823 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
824 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
825 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
826 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
827 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
829 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
831 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
834 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
835 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
836 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
838 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
839 associated_methods. (hdp)
840 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
841 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
842 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
843 misspelled) arguments
845 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
846 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
847 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
848 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
850 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
851 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
852 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
854 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
857 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
858 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
859 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
862 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
863 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
865 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
867 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
868 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
870 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
871 * Moose::Manual::Types
872 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
873 string parsing rathole (mst)
875 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
876 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
877 using plain objects instead
879 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
880 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
883 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
885 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
886 three times today (perigrin)
887 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
888 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
890 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
891 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
892 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
893 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
896 - A role's required methods are now represented by
897 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
898 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
899 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
900 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
901 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
904 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
905 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
906 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
907 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
910 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
912 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
915 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
917 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
920 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
921 during global destruction. This method has been made more
922 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
926 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
927 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
930 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
931 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
933 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
934 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
935 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
938 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
940 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
941 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
944 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
948 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
949 methods during global destruction (doy)
952 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
953 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
957 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
958 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
961 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
962 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
965 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
966 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
968 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
970 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
974 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
975 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
976 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
979 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
980 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
981 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
984 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
986 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
987 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
988 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
991 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
992 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
993 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
994 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
996 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
997 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
998 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1001 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1004 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1005 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1006 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1010 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1011 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1013 * Moose::Meta::Class
1014 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1016 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1018 * Moose::Meta::Class
1019 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1020 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1023 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1024 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1027 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1028 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1031 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1034 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1036 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1037 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1040 * Moose::Meta::Class
1041 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1043 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1044 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1047 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1048 * More deprecations and renamings
1049 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1050 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1051 when an object is constructed)
1054 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1055 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1056 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1058 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1059 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1060 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1061 feature, and it works again.
1064 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1066 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1068 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1069 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1070 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1072 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1073 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1074 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1075 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1076 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1078 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1079 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1080 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1081 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1082 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1085 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1086 metaclass object. (hdp)
1088 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1089 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1090 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1091 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1092 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1093 point out this fact. (hdp)
1095 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1096 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1098 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1099 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1101 * Moose::Meta::Class
1102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1103 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1104 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1105 called during instance construction were passed the
1106 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1107 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1109 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1110 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1113 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1114 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1115 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1118 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1119 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1120 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1121 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1122 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1124 - Moose::Meta::Class
1125 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1127 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1128 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1129 when an object is constructed)
1130 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1132 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1133 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1134 when an object is constructed)
1135 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1136 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1137 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1140 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1142 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1143 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1145 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1147 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1148 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1149 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1151 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1152 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1153 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1155 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1157 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1158 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1160 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1161 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1164 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1165 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1168 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1169 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1170 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1173 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1177 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1178 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1179 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1182 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1185 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1186 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1187 with recommended workarounds.
1189 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1190 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1192 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1193 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1194 (yes, spelled like that).
1196 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1197 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1199 * Moose::Meta::Class
1200 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1201 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1203 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1205 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1206 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1207 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1208 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1209 instead. Reported by doy.
1211 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1213 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1214 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1217 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1218 message) is now deprecated.
1219 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1220 often got it wrong. For example:
1222 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1224 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1228 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1229 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1230 bite you in weird cases.
1232 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1233 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1234 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1235 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1237 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1238 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1242 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1245 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1246 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1249 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1250 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1252 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1253 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1256 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1257 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1258 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1259 - added tests for this (stevan)
1261 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1262 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1263 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1264 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1268 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1269 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1270 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1271 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1273 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1274 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1275 - added tests for this (rafl)
1277 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1278 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1279 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1280 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1284 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1285 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1288 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1289 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1290 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1292 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1294 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1295 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1297 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1298 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1299 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1300 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1301 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1304 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1305 error message did not specify the attribute name
1308 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1310 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1312 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1313 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1314 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1317 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1320 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1322 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1323 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1324 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1325 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1327 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1329 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1330 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1331 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1332 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1335 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1336 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1339 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1340 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1341 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1342 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1344 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1345 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1346 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1347 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1348 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1350 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1351 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1352 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1353 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1354 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1355 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1357 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1358 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1359 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1360 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1361 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1362 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1364 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1365 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1367 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1368 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1369 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1370 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1372 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1373 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1376 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1380 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1381 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1383 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1384 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1385 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1386 guts. (nothingmuch).
1388 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1389 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1390 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1392 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1393 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1394 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1395 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1397 * Moose::Meta::Class
1398 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1401 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1402 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1404 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1405 * Moose::Unsweetened
1406 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1409 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1410 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1411 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1412 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1413 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1414 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1417 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1418 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1419 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1420 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1421 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1422 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1423 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1424 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1425 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1427 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1429 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1430 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1432 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1433 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1434 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1435 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1437 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1438 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1439 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1440 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1441 same methods for a single role did not work
1442 right (worked just fine with multiple
1444 - added test for this (stevan)
1446 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1447 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1448 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1451 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1452 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1453 - added test for this (t0m)
1456 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1457 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1458 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1460 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1461 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1462 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1463 - added test for this (t0m)
1465 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1466 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1467 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1468 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1469 - added test for this (perigrin)
1472 - create method for constructing a role
1473 dynamically (Sartak)
1474 - added test for this (Sartak)
1475 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1476 - added test for this (Sartak)
1479 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1481 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1482 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1483 methods is useful (Sartak)
1485 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1486 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1487 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1490 * Moose::Meta::Class
1491 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1492 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1493 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1494 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1495 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1496 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1499 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1500 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1502 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1503 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1504 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1505 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1506 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1508 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1510 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1511 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1512 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1515 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1516 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1517 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1518 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1519 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1520 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1524 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1525 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1526 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1527 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1528 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1529 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1530 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1531 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1532 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1533 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1535 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1536 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1539 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1540 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1541 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1542 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1543 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1545 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1547 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1548 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1549 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1551 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1552 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1554 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1555 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1556 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1557 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1560 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1561 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1563 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1565 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1566 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1568 * Moose::Meta::Class
1569 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1570 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1571 a required attribute
1573 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1574 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1575 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1576 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1578 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1579 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1581 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1582 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1583 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1584 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1585 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1586 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1587 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1588 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1590 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1591 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1592 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1594 * Roles and role application
1595 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1596 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1597 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1598 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1599 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1601 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1602 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1605 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1606 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1607 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1608 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1609 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1612 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1613 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1614 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1615 changes in the Moose internals.
1617 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1618 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1619 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1622 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1623 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1624 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1625 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1627 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1628 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1629 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1630 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1632 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1633 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1634 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1635 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1636 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1637 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1638 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1639 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1640 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1641 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1642 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1643 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1644 constraint implementations.
1646 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1650 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1651 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1652 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1653 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1654 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1655 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1656 - added tests for this (rafl)
1658 * Moose::Meta::Class
1659 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1660 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1661 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1662 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1663 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1664 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1665 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1666 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1669 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1670 - added tests for this (thepler)
1672 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1673 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1674 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1675 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1678 * Moose::Meta::Class
1679 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1680 * Moose::Meta::Method
1683 * Moose::Error::Default
1684 * Moose::Error::Croak
1685 * Moose::Error::Confess
1686 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1687 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1688 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1689 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1690 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1691 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1693 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1695 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1696 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1698 * Moose::Unsweetened
1699 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1700 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1701 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1703 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1704 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1705 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1706 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1707 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1710 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1711 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1713 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1714 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1715 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1716 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1719 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1721 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1722 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1724 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1727 - Various bug fixes.
1729 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1730 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1732 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1734 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1735 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1736 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1737 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1738 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1739 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1741 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1742 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1743 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1745 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1746 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1747 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1750 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1751 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1752 dependency to 0.64_07.
1754 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1755 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1756 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1758 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1759 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1762 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1763 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1764 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1765 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1766 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1767 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1769 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1770 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1772 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1774 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1775 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1779 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1780 method when that method was provided by another role being
1781 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1782 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1784 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1786 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1787 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1789 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1790 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1791 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1792 - added test for this (t0m)
1794 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1795 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1796 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1798 - added test for this (t0m)
1801 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1802 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1803 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1806 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1807 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1809 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1811 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1812 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1814 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1815 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1816 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1818 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1819 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1822 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1823 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1824 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1825 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1829 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1830 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1831 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1834 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1835 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1836 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1837 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1840 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1844 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1845 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1846 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1848 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1849 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1850 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1851 created so that the process can be more easily
1852 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1854 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1855 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1856 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1857 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1859 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1860 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1863 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1864 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1866 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1867 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1868 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1870 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1871 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1872 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1874 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1875 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1877 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1878 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1881 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1882 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1886 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1887 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1889 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1890 ... this is not my day today ...
1892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1893 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1894 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1895 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1896 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1899 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1900 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1901 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1902 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1903 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1906 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1908 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1909 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1910 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1911 this is not ever something you want to do
1912 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1913 - added tests for this (stevan)
1916 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1918 - added test for this
1920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1921 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1922 - added tests for this (wreis)
1924 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1925 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1926 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1927 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1929 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1930 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1931 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1934 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1936 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1938 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1941 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1942 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1943 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1944 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1945 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1946 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1947 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1948 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1949 - added tests for this
1951 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1952 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1953 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1954 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1956 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1958 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1959 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1960 - added tests for this (sartak)
1961 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1962 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1965 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1967 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1968 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1971 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1972 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1973 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1975 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1977 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1978 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1981 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1982 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1983 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1985 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1986 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1987 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1989 - added docs for this (TODO).
1990 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1991 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1992 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1993 - fix builder and default both being used
1998 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2000 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2001 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2002 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2006 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2010 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2011 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2012 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2014 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2015 - move the ClassName type check code to
2016 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2018 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2019 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2021 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2022 (early morning release engineering)--
2024 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2025 which was causing the indexer to choke
2027 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2028 (late night release engineering)--
2030 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2031 changes in this release
2033 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2034 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2035 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2037 * Moose::Meta::Class
2038 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2039 since it is called so often by &meta
2041 * Moose::Meta::Class
2043 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2044 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2047 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2048 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2049 method for immutablization to check if the
2050 destructor object even needs to be created
2053 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2054 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2059 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2061 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2062 XS based functionality is now optional
2063 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2064 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2065 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2067 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2068 to take care of this, mostly we added
2069 support for the package_name and name
2070 variables in all the Method metaclasses

2075 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2076 is currently not supported in roles,
2077 but, ... patches welcome
2078 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2079 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2080 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2083 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2084 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2085 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2086 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2087 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2088 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2089 - added test for this
2091 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2135 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2138 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2139 ->body when looping through the
2140 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2142 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2143 eating the $@ values, and so not
2144 working correctly, it still kind of
2145 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2146 - added tests for this

2168 drink more coffee before
2169 doing release engineering
2171 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2172 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2173 modules. This fixes that.
2175 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2176 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2177 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2179 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55

2286 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2288 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2289 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2332 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2333 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2626 when they encounter overriden or modified
2627 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2628 - added tests for this
2630 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2631 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2632 the | always creates a union and so is

2634 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2636 - added more tests for this
2638 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2641 * Parameterized Types
2642 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2643 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2644 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2645 They can also be nested:
2646 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2647 And work with the type unions as well:
2648 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2650 * Better Framework Extendability
2651 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2652 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2653 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2654 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2657 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2658 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2659 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2660 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2663 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2665 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2705 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2706 - updated the accompanying test as well

2832 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2835 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2836 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2837 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2838 - added tests for this
2840 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2842 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2868 so this release is just to fix that.
2871 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2872 to create multiple attrs (see docs)

2894 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2895 so that you can actually document your
2896 attributes and inspect them through the

2900 * Moose::Meta::Class
2901 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses

2903 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2904 then default to just loading $name.
2905 - added tests and docs for this
2907 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2908 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2909 - added test for this
2912 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2913 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2914 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2915 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2917 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2918 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2921 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2923 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2924 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2925 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2928 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2929 !! for this developer release to work !!
2931 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2932 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2933 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2934 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2935 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2936 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2937 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2938 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2939 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2940 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2941 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2943 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2944 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2945 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2946 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2949 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2950 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2951 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2952 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2953 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2955 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2957 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2958 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2961 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2962 called unless they actually need to be.
2963 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2964 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2965 DEMOLISH method present.
2967 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2968 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2969 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2970 type constraint, which allows for a
2971 hand optimized version of the type
2972 constraint to be used when possible.
2973 - Any internally created type constraints
2974 now provide an optimized version as well.
2976 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2978 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2979 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2980 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2983 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2984 your class namespace of these exported
2987 * Moose::Meta::Class
2988 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2989 comes up during global destruction
2991 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2995 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2998 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2999 - changed how we do type checks so that
3000 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3003 - moved accessor generation methods to
3004 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3005 conform to the API changes from
3008 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3009 - changed how constraints are compiled
3010 so that we do less recursion and more
3011 iteration. This makes the type check
3013 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3016 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3017 - created this from methods formerly found in
3018 Moose::Meta::Attribute

3021 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3023 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden

3031 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3032 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3033 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3034 - added tests for this
3035 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3036 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3037 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3038 - removed tests for this
3040 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3042 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3043 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3044 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3047 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3048 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3049 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3051 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3052 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3053 comments for more info.
3056 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3057 asked questions and common problems
3059 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3060 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3061 - added tests for this
3063 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3064 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3065 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3066 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3068 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3069 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3072 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3073 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3074 is much appreciated :)
3075 - added tests for this
3077 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3078 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3079 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3082 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3083 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3085 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3087 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3088 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3092 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3093 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3094 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3096 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3098 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3101 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3102 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3103 keywords because we need to localize them.
3104 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3106 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3107 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3108 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3111 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3114 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3115 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3116 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3119 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3120 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3121 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3123 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3125 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3126 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3127 bottom of your class file.
3130 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3133 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3135 - improved error message when loading modules so
3136 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3137 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3138 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3141 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3142 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3143 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3146 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3148 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3149 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3150 turn them on for you.
3151 - added tests for this

3180 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3181 - This release works in combination with
3182 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3183 release because it uses the a new
3184 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3185 complete Role implementation. It has
3186 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3187 the the previous CPAN version. This
3188 release also lacks good updated docs,
3189 the official release will have updated docs.
3192 - refactored the keyword exports
3193 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3194 accepts more than one Role at a time

3200 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3201 accepts more than one Role at a time
3203 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3205 string enumerations which can be used as
3207 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3210 - more careful checking of params to new()
3213 - much work done on the role composition
3214 - many new tests for conflict detection
3215 and composition edge cases
3216 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3217 looking at the tests
3219 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3220 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3221 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3242 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3243 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3244 on a per-attribute basis
3245 - added tests for this
3246 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3247 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3248 experimental feature and probably not finished

3250 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3251 - added tests for this
