1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
4 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
5 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers
6 to the existing delegation API. (hdp)
8 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
9 - Moved in from MooseX::AttributeHelpers with API tweaks. See
10 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
14 * Moose::Error::Confess
15 - Clarify documentation on how to use. (Curtis Jewell)
18 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
19 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
21 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
22 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
23 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
24 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
25 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
27 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
28 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
31 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
33 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
34 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
37 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
38 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
40 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
41 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
42 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
43 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
45 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
46 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
47 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
48 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
49 using it for new code!
51 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
52 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
53 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
54 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
57 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
58 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
59 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
60 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
61 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
62 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
63 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
66 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
69 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
70 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
73 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
74 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
76 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
77 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
78 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
81 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
82 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
83 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
86 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
87 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
89 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
90 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
91 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
94 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
95 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
96 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
97 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
98 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
99 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
101 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
103 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
107 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
108 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
110 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
111 associated_methods. (hdp)
112 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
113 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
114 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
115 misspelled) arguments
117 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
118 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
119 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
120 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
122 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
123 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
124 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
126 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
130 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
131 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
134 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
135 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
137 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
139 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
140 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
142 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
143 * Moose::Manual::Types
144 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
145 string parsing rathole (mst)
147 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
148 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
149 using plain objects instead
151 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
152 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
155 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
157 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
158 three times today (perigrin)
159 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
160 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
162 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
163 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
164 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
165 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
168 - A role's required methods are now represented by
169 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
170 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
171 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
172 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
173 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
176 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
177 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
178 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
179 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
182 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
184 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
187 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
189 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
192 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
193 during global destruction. This method has been made more
194 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
198 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
199 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
202 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
203 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
205 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
206 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
207 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
210 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
212 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
213 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
216 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
220 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
221 methods during global destruction (doy)
224 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
225 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
229 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
230 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
233 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
234 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
237 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
238 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
240 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
242 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
246 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
247 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
248 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
251 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
252 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
253 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
256 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
258 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
259 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
260 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
263 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
264 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
265 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
266 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
268 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
269 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
270 of the Moose core (Sartak)
273 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
276 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
277 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
278 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
282 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
283 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
286 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
288 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
291 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
292 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
295 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
296 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
299 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
300 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
303 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
306 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
309 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
313 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
315 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
316 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
319 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
320 * More deprecations and renamings
321 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
322 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
323 when an object is constructed)
326 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
327 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
328 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
331 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
332 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
333 feature, and it works again.
336 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
338 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
340 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
341 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
342 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
344 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
345 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
346 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
347 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
348 message. Test provided by perigrin.
350 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
351 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
352 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
353 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
354 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
357 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
358 metaclass object. (hdp)
360 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
361 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
362 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
363 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
364 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
365 point out this fact. (hdp)
367 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
368 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
370 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
371 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
374 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
375 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
376 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
377 called during instance construction were passed the
378 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
379 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
381 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
382 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
385 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
386 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
387 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
390 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
391 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
392 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
393 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
394 them, but they are not for "public" use.
397 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
399 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
400 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
401 when an object is constructed)
402 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
404 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
405 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
406 when an object is constructed)
407 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
408 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
409 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
412 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
414 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
415 * No changes from 0.72_01.
417 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
419 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
420 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
421 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
423 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
424 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
425 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
427 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
429 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
430 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
432 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
433 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
436 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
437 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
440 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
441 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
442 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
444 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
445 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
449 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
450 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
451 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
453 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
454 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
457 * Moose::Manual::Delta
458 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
459 with recommended workarounds.
461 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
462 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
465 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
466 (yes, spelled like that).
468 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
469 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
472 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
473 changes in latest Class::MOP.
475 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
478 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
479 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
480 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
481 instead. Reported by doy.
483 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
485 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
486 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
488 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
489 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
490 message) is now deprecated.
491 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
492 often got it wrong. For example:
494 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
496 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
500 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
501 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
502 bite you in weird cases.
504 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
505 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
506 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
509 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
510 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
514 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
517 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
518 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
521 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
522 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
524 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
525 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
528 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
529 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
530 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
531 - added tests for this (stevan)
533 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
534 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
535 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
536 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
540 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
541 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
542 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
543 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
545 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
546 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
547 - added tests for this (rafl)
549 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
550 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
551 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
552 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
556 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
557 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
560 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
561 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
562 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
564 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
566 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
567 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
570 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
571 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
572 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
573 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
575 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
576 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
577 error message did not specify the attribute name
580 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
582 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
584 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
585 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
586 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
588 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
589 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
592 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
594 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
595 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
596 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
597 of fixes and formatting improvements.
599 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
601 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
602 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
603 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
604 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
606 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
607 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
608 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
610 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
611 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
612 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
613 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
614 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
617 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
618 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
619 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
620 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
622 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
623 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
624 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
625 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
626 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
627 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
629 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
630 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
631 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
632 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
633 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
634 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
636 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
637 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
639 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
640 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
641 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
642 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
645 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
648 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
652 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
653 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
655 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
656 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
657 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
660 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
661 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
662 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
664 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
665 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
666 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
667 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
670 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
673 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
674 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
676 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
678 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
681 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
682 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
683 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
684 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
685 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
686 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
688 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
689 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
690 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
691 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
692 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
693 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
694 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
695 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
696 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
697 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
699 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
701 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
702 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
704 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
705 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
706 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
707 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
709 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
710 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
711 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
712 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
713 same methods for a single role did not work
714 right (worked just fine with multiple
716 - added test for this (stevan)
718 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
719 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
720 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
723 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
724 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
725 - added test for this (t0m)
728 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
729 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
730 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
732 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
733 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
734 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
735 - added test for this (t0m)
737 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
738 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
739 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
740 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
741 - added test for this (perigrin)
744 - create method for constructing a role
746 - added test for this (Sartak)
747 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
748 - added test for this (Sartak)
751 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
753 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
754 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
755 methods is useful (Sartak)
757 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
758 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
759 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
763 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
764 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
765 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
766 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
767 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
768 - added tests for this (jdv79)
771 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
772 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
774 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
775 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
776 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
777 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
778 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
780 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
782 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
783 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
784 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
787 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
788 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
789 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
790 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
791 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
792 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
795 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
796 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
797 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
798 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
799 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
800 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
801 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
802 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
803 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
804 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
805 future. (jnapiorkowski)
807 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
808 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
811 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
812 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
813 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
814 type. (jnapiorkowski)
815 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
817 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
819 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
820 predicate, and link to more details sections in
821 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
823 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
824 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
826 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
827 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
828 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
829 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
832 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
833 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
835 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
837 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
838 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
841 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
842 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
846 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
847 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
848 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
850 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
851 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
853 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
854 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
855 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
856 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
857 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
858 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
859 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
860 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
862 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
863 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
864 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
866 * Roles and role application
867 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
868 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
869 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
870 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
871 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
873 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
874 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
877 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
878 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
879 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
880 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
881 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
884 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
885 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
886 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
887 changes in the Moose internals.
889 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
890 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
891 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
894 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
895 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
896 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
897 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
899 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
900 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
901 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
902 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
904 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
905 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
906 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
907 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
908 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
909 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
910 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
911 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
912 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
913 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
914 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
915 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
916 constraint implementations.
918 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
922 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
923 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
924 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
925 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
926 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
927 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
928 - added tests for this (rafl)
931 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
932 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
933 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
934 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
935 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
936 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
937 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
938 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
941 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
942 - added tests for this (thepler)
944 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
945 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
946 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
947 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
951 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
952 * Moose::Meta::Method
955 * Moose::Error::Default
956 * Moose::Error::Croak
957 * Moose::Error::Confess
958 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
959 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
960 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
961 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
962 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
963 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
965 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
967 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
968 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
971 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
972 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
973 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
975 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
976 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
977 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
978 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
979 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
982 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
983 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
985 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
986 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
987 several major changes in this release of Moose.
988 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
991 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
993 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
994 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
996 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1001 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1002 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1004 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1006 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1007 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1008 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1009 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1010 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1011 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1013 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1014 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1015 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1017 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1018 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1019 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1022 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1023 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1024 dependency to 0.64_07.
1026 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1027 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1028 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1030 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1031 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1034 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1035 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1036 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1037 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1038 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1039 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1041 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1042 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1044 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1046 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1047 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1051 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1052 method when that method was provided by another role being
1053 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1054 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1056 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1058 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1059 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1061 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1062 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1063 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1064 - added test for this (t0m)
1066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1067 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1068 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1070 - added test for this (t0m)
1073 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1074 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1075 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1078 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1079 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1081 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1083 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1084 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1086 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1087 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1088 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1090 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1091 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1094 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1095 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1096 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1097 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1101 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1102 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1103 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1106 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1107 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1108 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1109 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1112 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1116 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1117 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1118 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1120 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1122 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1123 created so that the process can be more easily
1124 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1126 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1127 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1128 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1129 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1131 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1132 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1135 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1136 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1138 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1139 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1140 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1142 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1143 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1144 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1146 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1147 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1149 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1150 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1153 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1154 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1158 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1159 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1161 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1162 ... this is not my day today ...
1164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1165 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1166 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1167 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1168 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1171 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1172 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1173 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1174 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1175 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1178 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1180 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1181 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1182 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1183 this is not ever something you want to do
1184 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1185 - added tests for this (stevan)
1188 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1190 - added test for this
1192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1193 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1194 - added tests for this (wreis)
1196 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1197 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1198 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1199 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1201 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1202 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1203 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1206 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1208 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1210 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1213 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1214 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1215 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1216 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1217 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1218 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1219 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1220 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1221 - added tests for this
1223 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1224 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1225 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1226 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1228 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1230 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1231 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1232 - added tests for this (sartak)
1233 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1234 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1237 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1239 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1240 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1242 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1243 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1244 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1245 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1247 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1249 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1250 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1253 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1254 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1255 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1257 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1258 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1259 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1261 - added docs for this (TODO).
1262 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1263 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1264 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1265 - fix builder and default both being used
1270 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1272 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1273 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1274 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1278 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1282 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1283 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1284 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1286 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1287 - move the ClassName type check code to
1288 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1290 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1291 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1293 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1294 (early morning release engineering)--
1296 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1297 which was causing the indexer to choke
1299 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1300 (late night release engineering)--
1302 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1303 changes in this release
1305 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1306 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1307 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1309 * Moose::Meta::Class
1310 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1311 since it is called so often by &meta
1313 * Moose::Meta::Class
1315 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1316 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1319 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1320 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1321 method for immutablization to check if the
1322 destructor object even needs to be created
1325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1326 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1327 - added more descriptive error message to help
1328 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1329 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1331 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1333 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1334 XS based functionality is now optional
1335 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1336 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1337 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1339 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1340 to take care of this, mostly we added
1341 support for the package_name and name
1342 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1343 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1344 support regexp matching of names
1345 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1346 - tests added for this
1347 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1348 is currently not supported in roles,
1349 but, ... patches welcome
1350 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1351 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1352 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1355 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1356 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1357 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1358 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1359 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1360 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1361 - added test for this
1363 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1364 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1365 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1368 * Moose::Meta::Class
1369 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1373 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1375 - added tests for this
1376 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1377 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1379 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1380 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1381 themselves parameterizable types
1383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1384 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1385 called by the inlined immutable
1387 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1389 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1390 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1391 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1392 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

1558 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1560 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1604 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1605 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1899 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1900 - added tests for this

1910 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1913 * Parameterized Types
1914 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1915 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1916 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1917 They can also be nested:
1918 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1919 And work with the type unions as well:
1920 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1922 * Better Framework Extendability
1923 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1924 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1925 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1926 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1929 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1930 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1931 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1932 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2078 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2079 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2080 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2082 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
2083 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
2084 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2085 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2086 the other side (perigrin)
2088 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2089 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2090 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2091 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2092 prototypes for functions
2093 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2094 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2095 - added tests and docs for this
2096 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2097 default for where be { 1 }
2098 - added test for this
2100 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2101 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2102 merlyn for finding this bug
2103 - tests added for this
2104 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2107 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2108 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2109 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2110 - added tests for this
2112 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2114 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2126 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2127 where not handled correctly in roles
2128 - added tests for this
2130 * Moose::Meta::Class
2131 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2132 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2133 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2135 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2136 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2138 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2139 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2140 so this release is just to fix that.
2143 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2144 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2145 (thanks to konobi for this)
2146 - added tests and docs
2148 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2153 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2154 - added tests for this
2155 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2156 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2157 functions to facilitate introspection.
2159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2160 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2161 to build the list of delegated methods
2162 correctly (and not override important
2163 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2165 - added tests and docs for this
2166 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2167 so that you can actually document your
2168 attributes and inspect them through the
2170 - added tests and docs for this
2172 * Moose::Meta::Class
2173 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2174 it will first look in for the class in the
2175 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2176 then default to just loading $name.
2177 - added tests and docs for this
2179 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2180 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2181 - added test for this
2184 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2185 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2186 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2187 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2189 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2190 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2193 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2195 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2196 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2197 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2200 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2201 !! for this developer release to work !!
2203 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2204 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2205 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2206 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2207 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2208 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2209 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2210 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2211 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2212 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2213 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2215 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2216 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2217 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2218 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2221 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2222 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2223 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2224 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2225 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2227 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2229 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2230 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2233 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2234 called unless they actually need to be.
2235 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2236 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2237 DEMOLISH method present.
2239 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2240 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2241 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2242 type constraint, which allows for a
2243 hand optimized version of the type
2244 constraint to be used when possible.
2245 - Any internally created type constraints
2246 now provide an optimized version as well.
2248 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2250 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2251 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2252 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2254 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2255 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2256 your class namespace of these exported
2259 * Moose::Meta::Class
2260 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2261 comes up during global destruction
2263 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2267 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2271 - changed how we do type checks so that
2272 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2275 - moved accessor generation methods to
2276 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2277 conform to the API changes from
2280 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2281 - changed how constraints are compiled
2282 so that we do less recursion and more
2283 iteration. This makes the type check
2285 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2289 - created this from methods formerly found in
2290 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2292 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2293 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2295 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2296 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2298 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2299 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2301 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2303 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2304 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2305 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2306 - added tests for this
2307 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2308 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2309 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2310 - removed tests for this
2312 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2314 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2315 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2316 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2319 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2320 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2321 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2323 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2324 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2325 comments for more info.
2328 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2329 asked questions and common problems
2331 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2332 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2333 - added tests for this
2335 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2336 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2337 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2338 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2340 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2341 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2344 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2345 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2346 is much appreciated :)
2347 - added tests for this
2349 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2350 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2351 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2354 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2355 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2357 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2359 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2360 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2364 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2365 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2366 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2368 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2370 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2373 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2374 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2375 keywords because we need to localize them.
2376 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2378 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2379 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2380 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2383 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2386 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2387 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2388 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2391 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2392 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2393 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2395 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2397 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2398 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2399 bottom of your class file.
2402 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2405 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2407 - improved error message when loading modules so
2408 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2409 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2410 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2413 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2414 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2415 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2417 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2418 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2420 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2421 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2422 turn them on for you.
2423 - added tests for this

2452 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2453 - This release works in combination with
2454 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2455 release because it uses the a new
2456 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2457 complete Role implementation. It has
2458 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2459 the the previous CPAN version. This
2460 release also lacks good updated docs,
2461 the official release will have updated docs.
2464 - refactored the keyword exports
2465 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2466 accepts more than one Role at a time

2472 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2473 accepts more than one Role at a time
2475 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2477 string enumerations which can be used as
2479 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2482 - more careful checking of params to new()
2485 - much work done on the role composition
2486 - many new tests for conflict detection
2487 and composition edge cases
2488 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2489 looking at the tests
2491 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2492 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2493 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2495 * Moose::Meta::Class

2503 - some small changes to support the new
2505 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2506 with the 'handles' option

2514 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2515 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2516 on a per-attribute basis
2517 - added tests for this
2518 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2519 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2520 experimental feature and probably not finished

2522 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2523 - added tests for this
