1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
9 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
10 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
14 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
15 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
16 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
19 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
23 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
24 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
25 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
27 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
31 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
32 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
36 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
37 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
38 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
40 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
41 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
42 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
44 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
48 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
50 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
54 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
56 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
57 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
62 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
63 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
65 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
66 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
67 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
68 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
71 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
72 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
73 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
74 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
76 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
80 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
81 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
86 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
88 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
90 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
95 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
97 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
101 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
102 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
103 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
105 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
106 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
107 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
108 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
110 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
111 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
112 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
113 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
114 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
117 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
122 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
123 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
124 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
125 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
126 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
129 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
133 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
136 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
137 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
141 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
142 function (not just method). (doy)
146 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
147 and aren't easily installable/testable.
149 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
153 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
154 to be overridden more easily (doy).
156 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
160 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
161 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
163 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
167 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
168 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
169 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
171 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
175 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
176 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
177 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
179 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
180 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
184 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
185 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
187 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
188 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
192 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
193 is applied to a class (t0m).
195 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
196 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
198 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
201 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
202 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
204 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
205 be much more robust. (doy)
207 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
209 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
212 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
216 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
217 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
219 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
223 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
224 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
226 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
229 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
230 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
231 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
233 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
234 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
235 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
238 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
240 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
244 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
245 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
249 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
251 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
256 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
260 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
261 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
265 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
267 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
271 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
272 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
276 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
277 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
281 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
282 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
284 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
288 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
289 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
290 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
293 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
297 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
298 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
299 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
300 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
302 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
306 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
307 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
308 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
312 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
315 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
319 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
320 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
321 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
325 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
326 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
328 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
329 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
330 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
331 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
333 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
337 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
341 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
342 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
344 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
345 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
346 - Moose::Util::does_role
347 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
348 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
349 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
351 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
355 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
356 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
357 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
360 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
364 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
365 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
368 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
372 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
373 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
376 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
380 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
382 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
383 class. (Dave Rolsky).
385 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
386 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
387 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
389 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
390 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
391 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
394 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
395 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
397 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
398 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
399 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
401 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
403 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
404 substr et al, again. (sorear)
406 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
408 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
411 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
412 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
414 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
415 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
417 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
418 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
419 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
420 dependencies installed.
422 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
423 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
426 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
428 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
432 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
435 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
436 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
438 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
439 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
440 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
442 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
443 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
446 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
447 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
448 others. (nothingmuch)
450 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
451 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
452 remove_accessors. (doy)
454 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
455 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
456 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
459 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
461 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
462 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
463 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
464 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
467 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
468 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
470 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
471 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
473 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
475 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
476 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
479 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
480 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
481 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
482 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
483 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
485 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
486 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
487 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
488 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
489 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
490 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
491 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
494 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
495 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
496 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
497 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
498 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
500 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
501 which were not receiving the value of
502 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
503 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
504 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
505 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
509 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
510 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
511 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
512 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
513 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
516 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
517 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
518 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
519 - added tests for this (Stevan)
522 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
523 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
524 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
527 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
528 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
529 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
531 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
532 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
533 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
536 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
537 class if you pass it options for
538 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
539 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
540 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
541 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
542 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
543 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
544 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
545 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
546 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
548 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
549 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
550 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
551 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
552 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
555 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
556 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
557 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
558 existing delegation API. (hdp)
560 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
561 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
562 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
563 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
564 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
565 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
568 * Moose::Error::Croak
569 * Moose::Error::Confess
570 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
571 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
574 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
577 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
578 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
579 installing a broken sub. (doy)
582 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
585 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
586 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
587 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
589 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
590 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
591 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
592 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
593 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
595 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
596 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
599 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
601 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
602 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
605 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
606 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
608 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
609 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
610 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
611 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
613 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
614 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
615 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
616 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
617 using it for new code!
619 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
620 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
621 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
622 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
624 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
625 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
626 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
627 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
628 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
629 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
630 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
631 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
634 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
637 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
638 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
642 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
644 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
645 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
646 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
650 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
651 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
654 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
655 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
657 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
658 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
659 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
662 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
663 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
664 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
665 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
666 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
667 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
669 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
671 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
674 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
675 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
676 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
678 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
679 associated_methods. (hdp)
680 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
681 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
682 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
683 misspelled) arguments
685 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
686 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
687 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
688 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
690 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
691 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
692 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
694 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
697 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
698 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
699 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
702 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
703 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
705 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
707 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
708 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
710 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
711 * Moose::Manual::Types
712 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
713 string parsing rathole (mst)
715 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
716 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
717 using plain objects instead
719 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
720 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
723 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
725 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
726 three times today (perigrin)
727 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
728 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
730 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
731 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
732 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
733 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
736 - A role's required methods are now represented by
737 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
738 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
739 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
740 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
741 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
744 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
745 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
746 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
747 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
750 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
752 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
755 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
757 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
760 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
761 during global destruction. This method has been made more
762 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
766 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
767 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
770 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
771 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
773 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
774 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
775 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
778 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
780 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
781 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
784 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
788 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
789 methods during global destruction (doy)
792 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
793 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
797 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
798 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
801 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
802 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
805 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
806 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
808 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
810 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
814 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
815 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
816 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
819 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
820 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
821 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
824 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
826 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
827 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
828 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
831 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
832 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
833 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
834 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
836 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
837 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
838 of the Moose core (Sartak)
841 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
844 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
845 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
846 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
850 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
851 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
854 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
856 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
859 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
860 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
863 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
864 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
867 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
868 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
871 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
874 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
876 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
877 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
881 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
883 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
884 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
887 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
888 * More deprecations and renamings
889 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
890 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
891 when an object is constructed)
894 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
895 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
896 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
898 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
899 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
900 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
901 feature, and it works again.
904 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
906 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
908 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
909 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
910 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
912 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
913 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
914 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
915 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
916 message. Test provided by perigrin.
918 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
919 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
920 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
921 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
922 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
925 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
926 metaclass object. (hdp)
928 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
929 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
930 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
931 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
932 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
933 point out this fact. (hdp)
935 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
936 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
938 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
939 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
942 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
943 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
944 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
945 called during instance construction were passed the
946 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
947 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
949 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
950 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
953 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
954 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
955 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
958 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
959 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
960 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
961 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
962 them, but they are not for "public" use.
965 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
967 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
968 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
969 when an object is constructed)
970 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
972 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
973 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
974 when an object is constructed)
975 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
976 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
977 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
980 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
982 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
983 * No changes from 0.72_01.
985 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
987 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
988 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
989 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
991 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
992 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
993 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
995 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
997 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
998 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1000 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1001 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1004 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1005 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1008 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1009 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1010 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1012 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1013 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1017 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1018 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1019 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1022 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1025 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1026 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1027 with recommended workarounds.
1029 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1030 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1032 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1033 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1034 (yes, spelled like that).
1036 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1037 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1039 * Moose::Meta::Class
1040 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1041 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1043 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1045 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1046 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1047 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1048 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1049 instead. Reported by doy.
1051 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1053 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1054 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1056 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1057 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1058 message) is now deprecated.
1059 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1060 often got it wrong. For example:
1062 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1064 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1068 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1069 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1070 bite you in weird cases.
1072 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1073 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1074 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1075 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1077 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1078 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1082 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1085 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1086 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1089 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1090 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1092 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1093 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1096 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1097 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1098 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1099 - added tests for this (stevan)
1101 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1102 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1103 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1104 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1108 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1109 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1110 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1111 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1113 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1114 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1115 - added tests for this (rafl)
1117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1118 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1119 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1120 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1124 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1125 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1128 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1129 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1130 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1132 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1134 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1135 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1137 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1138 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1139 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1140 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1141 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1143 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1144 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1145 error message did not specify the attribute name
1148 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1150 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1152 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1153 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1154 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1156 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1157 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1160 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1162 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1163 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1164 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1165 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1167 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1169 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1170 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1171 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1172 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1174 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1175 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1176 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1178 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1179 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1180 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1181 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1182 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1184 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1185 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1186 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1187 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1188 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1191 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1192 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1193 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1194 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1195 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1197 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1198 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1199 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1200 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1201 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1202 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1204 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1205 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1207 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1208 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1209 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1210 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1212 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1213 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1216 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1220 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1221 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1223 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1224 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1225 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1226 guts. (nothingmuch).
1228 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1229 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1230 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1232 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1233 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1234 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1235 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1237 * Moose::Meta::Class
1238 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1241 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1242 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1244 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1245 * Moose::Unsweetened
1246 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1249 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1250 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1251 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1252 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1253 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1254 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1256 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1257 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1258 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1259 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1260 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1261 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1262 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1263 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1264 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1265 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1267 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1269 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1270 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1272 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1273 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1274 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1275 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1277 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1278 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1279 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1280 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1281 same methods for a single role did not work
1282 right (worked just fine with multiple
1284 - added test for this (stevan)
1286 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1287 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1288 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1291 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1292 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1293 - added test for this (t0m)
1296 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1297 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1298 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1300 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1301 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1302 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1303 - added test for this (t0m)
1305 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1306 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1307 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1308 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1309 - added test for this (perigrin)
1312 - create method for constructing a role
1313 dynamically (Sartak)
1314 - added test for this (Sartak)
1315 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1316 - added test for this (Sartak)
1319 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1321 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1322 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1323 methods is useful (Sartak)
1325 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1327 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1330 * Moose::Meta::Class
1331 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1332 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1333 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1334 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1335 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1336 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1339 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1340 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1342 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1343 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1344 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1345 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1346 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1348 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1350 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1351 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1352 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1355 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1356 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1357 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1358 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1359 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1360 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1364 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1365 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1366 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1367 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1368 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1369 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1370 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1371 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1372 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1373 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1375 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1376 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1379 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1380 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1381 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1382 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1383 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1385 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1387 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1388 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1389 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1391 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1392 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1394 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1395 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1396 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1397 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1400 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1401 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1403 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1405 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1406 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1408 * Moose::Meta::Class
1409 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1410 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1411 a required attribute
1413 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1414 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1415 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1416 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1418 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1419 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1421 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1422 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1423 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1424 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1425 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1426 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1427 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1428 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1430 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1431 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1432 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1434 * Roles and role application
1435 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1436 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1437 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1438 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1439 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1441 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1442 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1445 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1446 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1447 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1448 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1449 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1452 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1453 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1454 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1455 changes in the Moose internals.
1457 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1459 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1462 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1463 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1464 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1465 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1467 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1468 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1469 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1470 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1472 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1473 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1474 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1475 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1476 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1477 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1478 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1479 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1480 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1481 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1482 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1483 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1484 constraint implementations.
1486 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1490 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1491 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1492 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1493 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1494 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1495 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1496 - added tests for this (rafl)
1498 * Moose::Meta::Class
1499 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1500 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1501 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1502 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1503 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1504 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1505 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1506 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1509 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1510 - added tests for this (thepler)
1512 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1513 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1514 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1515 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1518 * Moose::Meta::Class
1519 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1520 * Moose::Meta::Method
1523 * Moose::Error::Default
1524 * Moose::Error::Croak
1525 * Moose::Error::Confess
1526 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1527 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1528 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1529 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1530 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1531 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1533 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1535 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1536 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1538 * Moose::Unsweetened
1539 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1540 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1541 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1543 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1544 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1545 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1546 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1547 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1550 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1551 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1553 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1554 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1555 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1556 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1559 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1561 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1562 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1564 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1567 - Various bug fixes.
1569 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1570 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1572 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1574 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1575 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1576 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1577 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1578 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1579 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1581 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1582 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1583 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1585 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1586 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1587 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1590 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1591 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1592 dependency to 0.64_07.
1594 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1595 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1596 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1598 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1599 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1602 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1603 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1604 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1605 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1606 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1607 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1609 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1610 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1612 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1614 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1615 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1619 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1620 method when that method was provided by another role being
1621 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1622 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1624 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1626 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1627 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1629 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1630 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1631 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1632 - added test for this (t0m)
1634 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1635 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1636 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1638 - added test for this (t0m)
1641 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1642 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1643 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1646 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1647 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1649 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1651 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1652 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1654 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1655 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1656 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1658 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1659 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1662 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1663 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1664 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1665 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1669 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1670 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1671 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1674 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1675 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1676 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1677 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1680 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1684 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1685 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1686 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1688 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1689 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1690 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1691 created so that the process can be more easily
1692 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

1695 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1696 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1697 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1700 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)

1704 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1706 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1707 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1708 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1710 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1711 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1712 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1714 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1715 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1717 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1718 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1721 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1722 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1726 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1727 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1729 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1730 ... this is not my day today ...
1732 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1733 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1734 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1735 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1736 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1739 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1740 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1741 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1742 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1743 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1746 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1748 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1749 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1750 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1751 this is not ever something you want to do
1752 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1753 - added tests for this (stevan)
1756 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1758 - added test for this
1760 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1761 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1762 - added tests for this (wreis)
1764 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1765 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1766 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1767 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1769 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1770 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1771 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1774 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1776 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1778 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1781 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1782 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1783 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1784 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1785 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1786 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1787 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1788 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1789 - added tests for this
1791 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1792 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1793 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1794 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1796 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1798 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1799 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

1812 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1813 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1815 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1817 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1851 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1852 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1854 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1855 - move the ClassName type check code to
1856 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1858 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1859 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1861 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1862 (early morning release engineering)--
1864 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1865 which was causing the indexer to choke
1867 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1868 (late night release engineering)--
1870 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1871 changes in this release
1873 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1874 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1875 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

1879 since it is called so often by &meta
1881 * Moose::Meta::Class
1883 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1884 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1887 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1888 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1889 method for immutablization to check if the
1890 destructor object even needs to be created
1893 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1894 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1895 - added more descriptive error message to help
1896 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1897 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1899 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1901 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1902 XS based functionality is now optional
1903 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1904 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1905 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1907 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1908 to take care of this, mostly we added
1909 support for the package_name and name
1910 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1911 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1912 support regexp matching of names
1913 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1914 - tests added for this
1915 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1916 is currently not supported in roles,
1917 but, ... patches welcome
1918 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1919 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1920 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1923 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1924 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1925 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1926 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1927 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1928 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1929 - added test for this
1931 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1932 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1933 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1936 * Moose::Meta::Class
1937 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1941 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1943 - added tests for this
1944 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1945 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1947 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1948 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1949 themselves parameterizable types
1951 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1952 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1953 called by the inlined immutable
1955 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1957 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1958 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1959 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1960 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1962 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1963 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1967 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was

1975 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1978 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1979 ->body when looping through the
1980 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1982 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1983 eating the $@ values, and so not
1984 working correctly, it still kind of
1985 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1986 - added tests for this
1988 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1989 - added new recipe for immutable
1990 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1992 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1993 - added new recipe for builder and
1994 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1998 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2001 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)

2004 since Module::Install has done that.
2006 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2008 drink more coffee before
2009 doing release engineering
2011 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2012 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2013 modules. This fixes that.
2015 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2016 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2017 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2019 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55

2026 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2027 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2029 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2030 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2031 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2032 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2038 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2039 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2041 * Moose::Meta::Class

2043 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2045 - added test for this
2047 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2048 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2049 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2050 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
2051 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
2052 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)

2063 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
2064 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
2065 - added tests for this (Sartak)
2066 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
2067 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
2069 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods
2070 to allow introspection of traits
2071 - added tests for this

2126 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2128 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2129 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2419 - added tests for this
2422 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2423 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2465 - fixed how required methods are handled
2466 when they encounter overriden or modified
2467 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2468 - added tests for this
2470 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2478 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2481 * Parameterized Types
2482 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2483 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2484 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2485 They can also be nested:
2486 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2487 And work with the type unions as well:
2488 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2490 * Better Framework Extendability
2491 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2492 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2493 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2494 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2497 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2498 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2499 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2500 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2741 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2742 it will first look in for the class in the
2743 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2744 then default to just loading $name.
2745 - added tests and docs for this
2747 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2748 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2749 - added test for this
2752 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2753 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2754 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2755 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2757 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2758 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2761 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2763 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2764 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2765 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2768 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2769 !! for this developer release to work !!
2771 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2772 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2773 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2774 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2775 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2776 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2777 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2778 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2779 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2780 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2781 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2783 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2784 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2785 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2786 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2789 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2790 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2791 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2792 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2793 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2795 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2797 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2798 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2801 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2802 called unless they actually need to be.
2803 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2804 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2805 DEMOLISH method present.
2807 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2808 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2809 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2810 type constraint, which allows for a
2811 hand optimized version of the type
2812 constraint to be used when possible.
2813 - Any internally created type constraints
2814 now provide an optimized version as well.
2816 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2818 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2819 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2820 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2822 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2823 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2824 your class namespace of these exported
2827 * Moose::Meta::Class
2828 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2829 comes up during global destruction
2831 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2835 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2839 - changed how we do type checks so that
2840 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2843 - moved accessor generation methods to
2844 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2845 conform to the API changes from
2848 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2849 - changed how constraints are compiled
2850 so that we do less recursion and more
2851 iteration. This makes the type check
2853 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2856 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2857 - created this from methods formerly found in
2858 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2860 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2861 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2863 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2864 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2866 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2867 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2869 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2871 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2872 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2873 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2874 - added tests for this
2875 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2876 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2877 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2878 - removed tests for this
2880 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2882 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2883 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2884 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2887 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2888 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2889 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2891 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2892 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2893 comments for more info.
2896 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2897 asked questions and common problems
2899 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2900 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2901 - added tests for this
2903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2904 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2905 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2906 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2908 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2909 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2912 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2913 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2914 is much appreciated :)
2915 - added tests for this
2917 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2918 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2919 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2922 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2923 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2925 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2927 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2928 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2932 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2933 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2934 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2936 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2938 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2941 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2942 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2943 keywords because we need to localize them.
2944 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2946 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2947 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2948 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2951 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2954 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2955 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2956 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2959 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2960 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2961 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2963 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2965 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2966 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2967 bottom of your class file.
2970 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2973 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2975 - improved error message when loading modules so
2976 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2977 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2978 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2981 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2982 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2983 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2985 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2986 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2988 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2989 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2990 turn them on for you.
2991 - added tests for this
2992 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2993 in Moose::Meta::Class

3020 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3021 - This release works in combination with
3022 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3023 release because it uses the a new
3024 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3025 complete Role implementation. It has
3026 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3027 the the previous CPAN version. This
3028 release also lacks good updated docs,
3029 the official release will have updated docs.
3032 - refactored the keyword exports
3033 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3034 accepts more than one Role at a time

3036 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3039 - refactored the keyword exports
3040 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3041 accepts more than one Role at a time
3043 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3044 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3045 string enumerations which can be used as
3047 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3050 - more careful checking of params to new()
3053 - much work done on the role composition
3054 - many new tests for conflict detection
3055 and composition edge cases
3056 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3057 looking at the tests
3059 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3060 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3061 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3063 * Moose::Meta::Class
3064 - some small changes to support the new
3066 - some small additions to support Roles
3068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3069 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3071 - some small changes to support the new
3073 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3074 with the 'handles' option
3075 - added several tests for this
3076 - no docs for this yet

3080 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3081 thanks to chansen for this commit
3082 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3083 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3084 on a per-attribute basis
3085 - added tests for this
3086 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3087 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3088 experimental feature and probably not finished

3153 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3155 - added test for this
