1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
6 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
8 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
9 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
10 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
11 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
12 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
14 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
15 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
18 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
20 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
21 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
24 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
25 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
27 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
28 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
29 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
30 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
32 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
33 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
34 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
35 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
36 using it for new code!
39 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
40 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
41 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
42 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
43 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
44 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
45 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
48 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
51 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
52 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
55 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
56 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
58 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
59 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
60 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
63 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
64 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
65 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
68 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
69 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
71 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
72 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
73 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
76 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
77 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
78 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
79 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
80 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
81 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
83 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
85 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
88 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
89 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
90 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
92 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
93 associated_methods. (hdp)
94 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
95 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
96 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
99 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
100 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
101 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
102 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
104 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
105 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
106 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
108 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
112 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
113 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
116 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
117 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
119 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
121 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
122 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
124 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
125 * Moose::Manual::Types
126 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
127 string parsing rathole (mst)
129 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
130 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
131 using plain objects instead
133 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
134 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
137 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
139 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
140 three times today (perigrin)
141 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
142 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
144 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
145 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
146 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
147 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
150 - A role's required methods are now represented by
151 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
152 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
153 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
154 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
155 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
158 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
159 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
160 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
161 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
164 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
166 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
169 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
171 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
174 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
175 during global destruction. This method has been made more
176 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
180 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
181 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
184 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
185 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
187 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
188 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
189 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
192 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
194 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
195 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
198 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
202 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
203 methods during global destruction (doy)
206 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
207 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
211 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
212 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
215 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
216 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
219 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
220 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
222 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
224 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
228 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
229 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
230 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
233 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
234 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
235 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
238 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
240 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
241 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
242 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
245 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
246 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
247 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
248 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
250 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
251 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
252 of the Moose core (Sartak)
255 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
258 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
259 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
260 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
264 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
265 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
268 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
270 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
273 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
274 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
277 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
278 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
281 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
282 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
285 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
288 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
290 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
291 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
295 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
297 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
298 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
301 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
302 * More deprecations and renamings
303 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
304 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
305 when an object is constructed)
308 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
309 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
310 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
312 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
313 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
314 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
315 feature, and it works again.
318 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
320 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
322 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
323 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
324 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
327 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
328 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
329 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
330 message. Test provided by perigrin.
332 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
333 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
334 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
335 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
336 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
339 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
340 metaclass object. (hdp)
342 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
343 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
344 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
345 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
346 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
347 point out this fact. (hdp)
349 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
350 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
352 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
353 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
356 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
357 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
358 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
359 called during instance construction were passed the
360 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
361 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
363 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
364 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
367 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
368 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
369 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
372 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
373 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
374 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
375 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
376 them, but they are not for "public" use.
379 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
381 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
382 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
383 when an object is constructed)
384 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
386 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
387 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
388 when an object is constructed)
389 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
390 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
391 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
394 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
396 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
397 * No changes from 0.72_01.
399 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
401 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
402 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
403 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
405 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
406 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
407 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
409 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
411 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
412 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
414 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
415 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
418 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
419 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
422 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
423 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
424 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
426 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
427 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
431 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
432 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
433 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
436 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
439 * Moose::Manual::Delta
440 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
441 with recommended workarounds.
443 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
444 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
447 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
448 (yes, spelled like that).
450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
451 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
454 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
455 changes in latest Class::MOP.
457 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
459 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
460 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
461 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
462 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
463 instead. Reported by doy.
465 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
467 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
468 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
470 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
471 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
472 message) is now deprecated.
473 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
474 often got it wrong. For example:
476 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
478 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
482 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
483 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
484 bite you in weird cases.
486 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
487 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
488 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
491 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
492 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
496 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
499 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
500 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
503 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
504 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
506 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
507 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
510 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
511 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
512 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
513 - added tests for this (stevan)
515 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
516 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
517 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
518 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
522 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
523 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
524 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
525 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
527 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
528 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
529 - added tests for this (rafl)
531 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
532 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
533 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
534 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
538 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
539 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
542 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
543 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
544 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
546 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
548 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
549 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
552 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
553 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
554 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
555 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
558 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
559 error message did not specify the attribute name
562 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
564 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
566 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
567 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
568 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
570 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
571 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
574 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
576 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
577 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
578 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
579 of fixes and formatting improvements.
581 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
583 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
584 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
585 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
586 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
588 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
589 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
590 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
592 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
593 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
594 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
595 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
596 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
598 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
599 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
600 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
601 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
602 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
605 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
606 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
607 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
608 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
609 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
611 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
612 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
613 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
614 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
615 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
616 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
618 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
619 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
621 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
622 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
623 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
624 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
626 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
627 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
630 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
634 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
635 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
637 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
638 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
639 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
642 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
643 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
644 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
646 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
647 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
648 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
649 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
652 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
655 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
656 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
658 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
660 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
663 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
664 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
665 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
666 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
667 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
668 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
670 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
671 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
672 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
673 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
674 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
675 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
676 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
677 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
678 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
679 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
681 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
683 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
684 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
686 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
687 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
688 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
689 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
691 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
692 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
693 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
694 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
695 same methods for a single role did not work
696 right (worked just fine with multiple
698 - added test for this (stevan)
700 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
701 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
702 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
705 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
706 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
707 - added test for this (t0m)
710 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
711 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
712 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
714 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
715 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
716 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
717 - added test for this (t0m)
719 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
720 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
721 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
722 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
723 - added test for this (perigrin)
726 - create method for constructing a role
728 - added test for this (Sartak)
729 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
730 - added test for this (Sartak)
733 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
735 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
736 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
737 methods is useful (Sartak)
739 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
741 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
745 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
746 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
747 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
748 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
749 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
750 - added tests for this (jdv79)
753 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
754 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
756 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
757 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
758 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
759 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
760 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
762 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
764 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
765 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
766 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
769 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
770 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
771 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
772 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
773 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
774 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
777 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
778 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
779 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
780 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
781 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
782 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
783 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
784 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
785 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
786 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
787 future. (jnapiorkowski)
789 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
790 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
793 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
794 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
795 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
796 type. (jnapiorkowski)
797 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
799 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
801 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
802 predicate, and link to more details sections in
803 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
805 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
806 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
808 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
809 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
810 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
811 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
814 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
815 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
817 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
819 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
820 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
823 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
824 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
827 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
828 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
829 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
830 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
832 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
833 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
835 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
836 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
837 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
838 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
839 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
840 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
841 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
842 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
844 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
845 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
846 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
848 * Roles and role application
849 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
850 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
851 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
852 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
853 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
855 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
856 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
859 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
860 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
861 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
862 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
863 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
866 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
867 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
868 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
869 changes in the Moose internals.
871 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
872 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
873 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
876 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
877 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
878 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
879 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
881 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
882 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
883 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
884 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
886 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
887 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
888 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
889 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
890 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
891 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
892 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
893 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
894 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
895 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
896 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
897 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
898 constraint implementations.
900 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
904 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
905 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
906 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
907 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
908 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
909 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
910 - added tests for this (rafl)
913 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
914 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
915 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
916 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
917 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
918 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
919 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
920 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
923 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
924 - added tests for this (thepler)
926 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
927 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
928 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
929 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
933 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
934 * Moose::Meta::Method
937 * Moose::Error::Default
938 * Moose::Error::Croak
939 * Moose::Error::Confess
940 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
941 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
942 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
943 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
944 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
945 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
947 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
949 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
950 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
953 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
954 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
955 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
957 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
958 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
959 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
960 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
961 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
964 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
965 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
967 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
968 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
969 several major changes in this release of Moose.
970 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
973 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
975 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
976 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
978 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
983 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
984 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
986 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
988 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
989 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
990 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
991 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
992 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
993 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
995 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
996 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
997 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
999 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1000 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1001 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1004 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1005 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1006 dependency to 0.64_07.
1008 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1009 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1010 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1012 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1013 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1017 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1018 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1019 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1020 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1021 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1023 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1024 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1026 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1028 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1029 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1033 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1034 method when that method was provided by another role being
1035 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1036 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1038 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1040 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1041 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1043 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1044 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1045 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1046 - added test for this (t0m)
1048 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1049 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1050 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1052 - added test for this (t0m)
1055 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1056 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1057 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1060 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1061 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1063 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1065 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1066 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1068 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1069 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1070 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1072 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1073 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1076 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1077 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1078 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1079 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1083 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1084 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1085 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1088 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1089 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1090 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1091 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1094 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1098 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1099 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1100 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1102 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1103 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1104 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1105 created so that the process can be more easily
1106 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1108 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1109 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1110 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1111 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1113 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1114 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1117 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1118 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1120 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1121 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1122 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1124 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1125 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1126 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1128 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1129 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1131 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1132 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1135 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1136 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1140 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1141 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1143 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1144 ... this is not my day today ...
1146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1147 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1148 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1149 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1150 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1153 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1154 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1155 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1156 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1157 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1160 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1162 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1163 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1164 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1165 this is not ever something you want to do
1166 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1167 - added tests for this (stevan)
1170 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1172 - added test for this
1174 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1175 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1176 - added tests for this (wreis)
1178 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1179 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1180 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1181 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1183 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1184 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1185 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1188 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1190 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1192 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1195 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1196 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1197 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1198 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1199 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1200 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1201 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1202 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1203 - added tests for this
1205 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1206 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1207 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1208 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1210 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1213 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1214 - added tests for this (sartak)
1215 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1216 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1219 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1221 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1222 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1224 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1225 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1226 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1227 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1229 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1231 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1232 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1235 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1236 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1237 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1240 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1241 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1243 - added docs for this (TODO).
1244 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1245 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1246 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1247 - fix builder and default both being used
1252 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1254 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1255 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1256 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1260 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1264 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1265 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1266 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1268 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1269 - move the ClassName type check code to
1270 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1272 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1273 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1275 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1276 (early morning release engineering)--
1278 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1279 which was causing the indexer to choke
1281 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1282 (late night release engineering)--
1284 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1285 changes in this release
1287 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1288 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1289 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1291 * Moose::Meta::Class
1292 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1293 since it is called so often by &meta
1295 * Moose::Meta::Class
1297 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1298 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1301 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1302 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1303 method for immutablization to check if the
1304 destructor object even needs to be created
1307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1308 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1309 - added more descriptive error message to help
1310 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1311 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1313 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1315 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1316 XS based functionality is now optional
1317 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1318 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1319 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1321 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1322 to take care of this, mostly we added
1323 support for the package_name and name
1324 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1325 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1326 support regexp matching of names
1327 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1328 - tests added for this
1329 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1330 is currently not supported in roles,
1331 but, ... patches welcome
1332 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1333 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1334 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1337 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1338 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1339 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1340 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1341 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1342 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1343 - added test for this
1345 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1346 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1347 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1350 * Moose::Meta::Class
1351 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1355 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1357 - added tests for this
1358 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1359 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1361 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1362 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1363 themselves parameterizable types
1365 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1366 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1367 called by the inlined immutable
1369 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1371 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1372 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1373 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1374 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1376 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1377 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1381 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1382 causing occasional cpantester failures
1383 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1384 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1386 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1388 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1389 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1392 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1393 ->body when looping through the
1394 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1396 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1397 eating the $@ values, and so not
1398 working correctly, it still kind of

1540 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1542 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1892 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1895 * Parameterized Types
1896 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1897 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1898 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1899 They can also be nested:
1900 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1901 And work with the type unions as well:
1902 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1904 * Better Framework Extendability
1905 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1906 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1907 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1908 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1911 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1912 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1913 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1914 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2075 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2076 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2077 - added tests and docs for this
2078 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2079 default for where be { 1 }

2083 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2084 merlyn for finding this bug
2085 - tests added for this
2086 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2089 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2090 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2091 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2092 - added tests for this
2094 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2096 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2112 * Moose::Meta::Class
2113 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2114 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2115 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2117 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2118 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)

2121 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2122 so this release is just to fix that.
2125 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2126 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2127 (thanks to konobi for this)
2128 - added tests and docs
2130 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2133 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2134 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2135 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2136 - added tests for this

2138 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2139 functions to facilitate introspection.
2141 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2142 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2143 to build the list of delegated methods
2144 correctly (and not override important
2145 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2147 - added tests and docs for this
2148 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2149 so that you can actually document your
2150 attributes and inspect them through the
2152 - added tests and docs for this
2154 * Moose::Meta::Class
2155 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2156 it will first look in for the class in the
2157 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2158 then default to just loading $name.
2159 - added tests and docs for this
2161 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2162 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2163 - added test for this
2166 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2167 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2168 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2169 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2171 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2172 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2175 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2177 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2178 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2179 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2182 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2183 !! for this developer release to work !!
2185 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2186 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2187 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2188 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2189 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2190 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2191 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2192 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2193 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2194 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2195 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2197 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2198 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2199 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2200 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2203 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2204 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2205 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2206 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2207 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2209 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2211 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2212 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2215 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2216 called unless they actually need to be.
2217 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2218 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2219 DEMOLISH method present.
2221 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2222 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2223 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2224 type constraint, which allows for a
2225 hand optimized version of the type
2226 constraint to be used when possible.
2227 - Any internally created type constraints
2228 now provide an optimized version as well.
2230 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2232 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2233 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2234 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2236 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2237 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2238 your class namespace of these exported
2241 * Moose::Meta::Class
2242 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2243 comes up during global destruction
2245 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2249 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2252 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2253 - changed how we do type checks so that
2254 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2257 - moved accessor generation methods to
2258 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2259 conform to the API changes from
2262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2263 - changed how constraints are compiled
2264 so that we do less recursion and more
2265 iteration. This makes the type check
2267 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2270 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2271 - created this from methods formerly found in
2272 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2274 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2275 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2278 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2280 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2281 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2285 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2286 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2287 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2288 - added tests for this
2289 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2290 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2291 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2292 - removed tests for this
2294 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2296 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2297 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2298 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2301 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2302 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2303 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2305 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2306 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2307 comments for more info.
2310 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2311 asked questions and common problems
2313 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2314 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2315 - added tests for this
2317 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2318 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2319 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2320 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2322 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2323 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2326 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2327 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2328 is much appreciated :)
2329 - added tests for this
2331 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2332 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2333 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2336 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2337 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2339 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2341 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2342 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2346 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2347 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2348 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2350 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2352 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2355 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2356 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2357 keywords because we need to localize them.
2358 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2360 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2361 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2362 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2365 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2368 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2369 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2370 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2373 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2374 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2375 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2377 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2379 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2380 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2381 bottom of your class file.
2384 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2387 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2389 - improved error message when loading modules so
2390 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2391 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2392 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2395 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2396 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2397 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2399 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2400 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2402 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2403 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2404 turn them on for you.
2405 - added tests for this

2434 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2435 - This release works in combination with
2436 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2437 release because it uses the a new
2438 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2439 complete Role implementation. It has
2440 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2441 the the previous CPAN version. This
2442 release also lacks good updated docs,
2443 the official release will have updated docs.
2446 - refactored the keyword exports
2447 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2448 accepts more than one Role at a time

2454 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2455 accepts more than one Role at a time
2457 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2459 string enumerations which can be used as
2461 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2464 - more careful checking of params to new()
2467 - much work done on the role composition
2468 - many new tests for conflict detection
2469 and composition edge cases
2470 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2471 looking at the tests
2473 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2474 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2475 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2485 - some small changes to support the new
2487 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2488 with the 'handles' option

2496 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2497 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2498 on a per-attribute basis
2499 - added tests for this
2500 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2501 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2502 experimental feature and probably not finished
