1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
11 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
15 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
16 immutable classes). (mo)
18 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
19 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
20 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
22 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
26 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
28 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
30 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
34 * Fix some indexing issues.
36 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
38 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
42 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
43 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
44 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
45 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
46 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
48 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
49 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
54 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
55 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
56 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
57 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
59 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
60 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
61 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
65 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
66 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
69 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
73 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
74 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
75 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
76 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
79 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
83 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
86 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
90 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
91 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
92 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
94 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
98 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
99 policy. (Chris Prather)
101 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
102 on this new support policy. (doy)
106 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
107 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
108 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
110 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
111 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
113 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
117 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
118 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
119 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
120 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
123 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
127 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
128 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
131 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
135 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
136 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
138 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
139 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
143 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
144 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
145 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
146 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
147 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
148 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
150 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
151 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
153 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
154 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
155 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
156 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
158 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
159 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
161 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
166 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
167 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
169 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
173 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
174 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
175 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
177 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
181 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
182 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
183 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
185 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
186 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
189 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
190 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
193 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
194 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
195 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
197 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
198 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
203 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
204 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
205 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
206 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
208 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
209 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
211 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
212 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
214 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
215 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
216 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
217 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
219 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
220 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
221 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
224 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
225 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
226 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
227 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
229 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
230 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
233 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
234 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
235 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
237 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
241 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
242 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
243 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
245 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
246 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
247 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
250 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
251 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
252 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
254 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
255 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
256 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
258 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
259 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
263 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
264 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
265 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
267 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
268 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
269 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
270 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
272 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
276 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
277 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
278 value is a reference.
280 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
281 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
283 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
287 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
288 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
289 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
291 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
295 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
296 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
300 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
301 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
302 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
304 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
305 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
306 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
308 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
312 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
314 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
318 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
320 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
321 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
326 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
327 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
329 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
330 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
331 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
332 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
333 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
335 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
336 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
337 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
338 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
340 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
344 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
345 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
350 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
352 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
354 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
359 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
361 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
365 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
366 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
367 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
369 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
370 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
371 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
372 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
374 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
375 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
376 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
377 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
378 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
381 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
386 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
387 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
388 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
389 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
390 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
393 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
397 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
400 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
401 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
405 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
406 function (not just method). (doy)
410 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
411 and aren't easily installable/testable.
413 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
417 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
418 to be overridden more easily (doy).
420 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
424 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
425 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
427 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
431 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
432 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
433 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
435 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
439 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
440 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
441 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
443 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
444 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
448 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
449 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
451 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
452 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
456 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
457 is applied to a class (t0m).
459 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
460 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
462 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
465 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
466 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
468 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
469 be much more robust. (doy)
471 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
473 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
476 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
480 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
481 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
483 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
487 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
488 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
490 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
493 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
494 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
495 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
497 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
498 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
499 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
502 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
504 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
508 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
509 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
513 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
515 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
519 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
520 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
524 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
525 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
529 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
531 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
535 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
536 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
540 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
541 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
545 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
546 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
548 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
552 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
553 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
554 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
557 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
561 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
562 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
563 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
564 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
566 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
570 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
571 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
572 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
576 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
579 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
583 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
584 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
585 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
589 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
590 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
592 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
593 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
594 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
595 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
597 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
601 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
605 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
606 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
608 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
609 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
610 - Moose::Util::does_role
611 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
612 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
613 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
615 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
619 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
620 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
621 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
624 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
628 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
629 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
632 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
636 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
637 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
640 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
644 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
646 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
647 class. (Dave Rolsky).
649 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
650 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
651 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
653 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
654 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
655 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
658 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
659 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
661 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
662 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
663 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
665 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
667 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
668 substr et al, again. (sorear)
670 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
672 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
675 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
676 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
678 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
679 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
681 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
682 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
683 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
684 dependencies installed.
686 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
687 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
690 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
692 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
696 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
698 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
699 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
700 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
702 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
703 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
704 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
706 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
707 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
710 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
711 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
712 others. (nothingmuch)
714 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
715 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
716 remove_accessors. (doy)
718 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
719 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
720 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
722 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
723 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
725 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
726 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
727 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
728 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
731 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
732 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
734 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
735 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
737 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
739 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
740 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
743 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
744 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
745 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
746 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
747 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
749 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
751 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
752 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
753 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
754 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
755 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
758 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
759 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
760 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
761 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
762 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
764 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
765 which were not receiving the value of
766 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
767 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
768 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
769 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
773 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
774 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
775 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
776 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
777 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
780 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
781 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
782 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
783 - added tests for this (Stevan)
786 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
787 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
788 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
791 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
792 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
793 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
795 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
796 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
797 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
800 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
801 class if you pass it options for
802 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
803 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
804 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
805 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
806 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
807 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
808 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
809 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
810 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
812 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
813 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
814 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
815 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
816 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
819 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
820 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
821 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
822 existing delegation API. (hdp)
824 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
825 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
826 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
827 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
828 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
829 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
832 * Moose::Error::Croak
833 * Moose::Error::Confess
834 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
835 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
838 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
841 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
842 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
843 installing a broken sub. (doy)
846 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
849 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
850 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
851 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
853 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
854 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
855 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
856 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
857 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
859 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
860 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
863 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
865 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
866 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
869 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
870 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
872 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
873 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
874 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
875 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
877 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
878 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
879 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
880 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
881 using it for new code!
883 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
884 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
885 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
886 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
888 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
889 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
890 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
891 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
892 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
893 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
894 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
895 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
898 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
901 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
902 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
905 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
906 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
908 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
909 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
910 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
913 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
914 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
915 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
918 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
919 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
921 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
922 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
923 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
926 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
927 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
928 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
929 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
930 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
931 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
933 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
935 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
938 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
939 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
940 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
942 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
943 associated_methods. (hdp)
944 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
945 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
946 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
947 misspelled) arguments
949 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
950 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
951 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
952 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
954 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
955 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
956 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
958 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
961 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
962 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
963 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
966 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
967 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
969 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
971 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
972 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
974 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
975 * Moose::Manual::Types
976 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
977 string parsing rathole (mst)
979 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
980 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
981 using plain objects instead
983 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
984 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
987 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
989 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
990 three times today (perigrin)
991 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
992 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
994 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
995 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
996 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
997 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1000 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1001 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1002 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1003 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1004 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1005 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1008 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1009 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1010 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1011 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1014 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1016 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1019 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1021 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1024 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1025 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1026 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1030 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1031 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1034 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1035 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1037 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1038 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1039 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1041 * Moose::Unsweetened
1042 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1044 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1045 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1048 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1052 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1053 methods during global destruction (doy)
1055 * Moose::Meta::Class
1056 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1057 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1058 consumption (Sartak)
1060 * Moose::Meta::Class
1061 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1062 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1065 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1066 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1069 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1070 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1072 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1074 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1078 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1079 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1080 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1083 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1084 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1085 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1088 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1090 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1091 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1092 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1095 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1096 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1097 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1098 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1100 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1101 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1102 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1105 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1108 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1109 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1110 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1114 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1115 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1117 * Moose::Meta::Class
1118 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1120 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1122 * Moose::Meta::Class
1123 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1124 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1127 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1128 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1131 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1132 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1135 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1138 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1140 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1141 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1144 * Moose::Meta::Class
1145 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1147 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1148 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1151 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1152 * More deprecations and renamings
1153 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1154 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1155 when an object is constructed)
1158 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1159 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1160 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1162 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1163 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1164 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1165 feature, and it works again.
1168 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1170 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1172 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1173 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1174 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1176 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1177 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1178 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1179 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1180 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1182 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1183 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1184 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1185 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1186 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1189 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1190 metaclass object. (hdp)
1192 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1193 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1194 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1195 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1196 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1197 point out this fact. (hdp)
1199 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1200 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1202 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1203 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1205 * Moose::Meta::Class
1206 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1207 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1208 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1209 called during instance construction were passed the
1210 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1211 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1213 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1214 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1217 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1218 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1219 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1222 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1223 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1224 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1225 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1226 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1228 - Moose::Meta::Class
1229 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1231 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1232 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1233 when an object is constructed)
1234 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1236 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1237 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1238 when an object is constructed)
1239 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1240 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1241 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1244 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1246 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1247 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1249 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1251 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1252 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1253 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1255 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1256 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1257 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1259 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1261 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1262 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1264 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1265 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1268 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1269 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1272 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1273 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1274 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1277 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1281 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1282 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1283 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1285 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1286 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1289 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1290 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1291 with recommended workarounds.
1293 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1294 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1296 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1297 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1298 (yes, spelled like that).
1300 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1301 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1303 * Moose::Meta::Class
1304 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1305 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1307 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1309 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1310 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1311 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1312 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1313 instead. Reported by doy.
1315 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1317 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1318 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1320 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1321 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1322 message) is now deprecated.
1323 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1324 often got it wrong. For example:
1326 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1328 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1332 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1333 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1334 bite you in weird cases.
1336 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1337 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1338 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1339 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1341 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1342 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1346 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1349 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1350 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1353 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1354 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1356 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1357 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1360 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1361 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1362 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1363 - added tests for this (stevan)
1365 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1366 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1367 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1368 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1372 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1373 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1374 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1375 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1377 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1378 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1379 - added tests for this (rafl)
1381 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1382 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1383 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1384 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1388 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1389 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1392 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1393 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1394 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1396 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1398 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1399 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1401 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1402 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1403 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1404 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1405 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1408 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1409 error message did not specify the attribute name
1412 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1414 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1416 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1417 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1418 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1420 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1421 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1424 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1426 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1427 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually

1429 of fixes and formatting improvements.

1433 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1434 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1435 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1436 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1438 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1439 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1440 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1442 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1443 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1444 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1445 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1446 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1448 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1449 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1450 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1451 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1452 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1454 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1455 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1456 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1457 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1458 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1459 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1461 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1462 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1463 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1464 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1465 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1466 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1468 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1469 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1471 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1472 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1473 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1474 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1476 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1477 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1480 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1484 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1485 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1487 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1488 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1489 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1490 guts. (nothingmuch).
1492 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1493 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1494 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1497 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1498 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1499 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1501 * Moose::Meta::Class
1502 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1505 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1506 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1508 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1509 * Moose::Unsweetened
1510 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1513 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1514 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1515 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1516 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1517 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1518 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1520 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1521 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1522 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1523 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1524 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1525 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1526 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1527 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1528 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1529 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1531 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1533 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1534 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1536 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1537 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1538 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1539 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1541 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1542 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1543 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1544 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1545 same methods for a single role did not work
1546 right (worked just fine with multiple
1548 - added test for this (stevan)
1550 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1551 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1552 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1555 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1556 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1557 - added test for this (t0m)
1560 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1561 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1562 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1564 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1565 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1566 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1567 - added test for this (t0m)
1569 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1570 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1571 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1572 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1573 - added test for this (perigrin)
1576 - create method for constructing a role
1577 dynamically (Sartak)
1578 - added test for this (Sartak)
1579 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1580 - added test for this (Sartak)
1583 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1585 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1586 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1587 methods is useful (Sartak)
1589 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1590 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1591 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1594 * Moose::Meta::Class
1595 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1596 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1597 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1598 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1599 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1600 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1603 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1604 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1606 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1607 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1608 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1609 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1610 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1612 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1614 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1615 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1616 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1619 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1620 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1621 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1622 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1623 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1624 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1627 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1628 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1629 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1630 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1631 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1632 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1633 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1634 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1635 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1636 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1637 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1639 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1640 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1643 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1644 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1645 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1646 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1647 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1649 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1651 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1652 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1653 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1655 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1656 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1658 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1659 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1660 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1661 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1664 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1665 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1667 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1669 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1670 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1672 * Moose::Meta::Class
1673 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1674 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1675 a required attribute
1677 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1678 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1679 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1680 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1682 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1683 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1685 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1686 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1687 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1688 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1689 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1690 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1691 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1692 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1694 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1695 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1696 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1698 * Roles and role application
1699 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1700 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1701 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1702 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1703 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1705 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1706 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1709 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1710 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1711 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1712 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1713 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1716 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1717 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1718 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1719 changes in the Moose internals.
1721 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1722 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1723 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1726 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1727 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1728 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1729 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1731 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1732 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1733 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1734 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1736 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1737 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1738 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1739 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1740 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1741 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1742 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1743 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1744 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1745 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1746 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1747 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1748 constraint implementations.
1750 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1754 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1755 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1756 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1757 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1758 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1759 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1760 - added tests for this (rafl)
1762 * Moose::Meta::Class
1763 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1764 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1765 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1766 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1767 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1768 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1769 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1770 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1773 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1774 - added tests for this (thepler)
1776 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1777 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1778 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1779 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1782 * Moose::Meta::Class
1783 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1784 * Moose::Meta::Method
1787 * Moose::Error::Default
1788 * Moose::Error::Croak
1789 * Moose::Error::Confess
1790 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1791 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1792 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1793 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1794 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1795 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1797 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1799 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1800 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1802 * Moose::Unsweetened
1803 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1804 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1805 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1807 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1808 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1809 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1810 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1811 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1814 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1815 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1817 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1818 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1819 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1820 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1823 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1825 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1826 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1828 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1831 - Various bug fixes.
1833 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1834 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1836 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1838 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1839 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1840 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1841 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1842 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1843 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1845 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1846 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1847 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1849 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1850 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1851 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1854 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1855 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1856 dependency to 0.64_07.
1858 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1859 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1860 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1862 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1863 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1866 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1867 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1868 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1869 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1870 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1871 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1873 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1874 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1876 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1878 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1879 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1883 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1884 method when that method was provided by another role being
1885 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1886 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1888 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1890 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1891 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1893 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1894 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1895 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1896 - added test for this (t0m)
1898 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1899 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1900 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1902 - added test for this (t0m)
1905 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1906 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1907 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1910 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1911 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1913 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1915 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1916 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1918 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1919 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1920 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1922 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1923 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1926 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1927 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1928 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1929 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1933 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1934 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1935 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1938 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1939 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1940 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1941 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1944 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1948 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1949 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1950 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1952 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1953 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1954 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1955 created so that the process can be more easily
1956 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1958 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1959 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1960 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1961 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1963 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1964 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1967 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1968 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1970 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1971 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1972 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1974 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1975 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1976 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1978 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1979 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1981 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1982 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1985 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1986 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1990 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1991 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1993 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1994 ... this is not my day today ...
1996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1997 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1998 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1999 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2000 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2003 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2004 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2005 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2006 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2007 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2010 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2012 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2013 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2014 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2015 this is not ever something you want to do
2016 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2017 - added tests for this (stevan)
2020 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2022 - added test for this
2024 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2025 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2026 - added tests for this (wreis)
2028 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2029 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2030 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2031 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2033 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2034 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2035 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2038 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2040 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2042 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2045 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2046 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2047 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2048 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2049 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2050 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not

2738 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2740 - added more tests for this
2742 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2745 * Parameterized Types
2746 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2747 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2748 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2749 They can also be nested:
2750 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2751 And work with the type unions as well:
2752 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2754 * Better Framework Extendability
2755 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2756 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2757 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2758 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2761 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2762 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2763 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2764 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2767 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2769 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2770 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2829 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2830 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2832 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2851 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2852 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2853 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2902 (but not changing the handles option)
2903 - added tests and docs for this
2906 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2907 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2918 the other side (perigrin)
2920 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2921 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2922 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2923 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2924 prototypes for functions
2925 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2926 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2934 merlyn for finding this bug
2935 - tests added for this
2936 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2939 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2940 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2941 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2942 - added tests for this
2944 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2946 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2967 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2968 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2970 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2971 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2972 so this release is just to fix that.
2975 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2976 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2977 (thanks to konobi for this)
2978 - added tests and docs
2980 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2989 functions to facilitate introspection.
2991 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2992 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2993 to build the list of delegated methods
2994 correctly (and not override important
2995 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2997 - added tests and docs for this
2998 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2999 so that you can actually document your
3000 attributes and inspect them through the
3002 - added tests and docs for this
3004 * Moose::Meta::Class
3005 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3006 it will first look in for the class in the
3007 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3008 then default to just loading $name.
3009 - added tests and docs for this
3011 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3012 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3013 - added test for this
3016 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3017 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3018 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3019 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3021 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3022 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3025 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3027 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3028 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3029 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3032 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3033 !! for this developer release to work !!
3035 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3036 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3037 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3038 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3039 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3040 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3041 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3042 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3043 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3044 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3045 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3047 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3048 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3049 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3050 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3053 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3054 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3055 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3056 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3057 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3059 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3061 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3062 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3065 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3066 called unless they actually need to be.
3067 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3068 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3069 DEMOLISH method present.
3071 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3072 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3073 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3074 type constraint, which allows for a
3075 hand optimized version of the type
3076 constraint to be used when possible.
3077 - Any internally created type constraints
3078 now provide an optimized version as well.
3080 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3082 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3083 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3084 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3086 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3087 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3088 your class namespace of these exported
3091 * Moose::Meta::Class
3092 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3093 comes up during global destruction
3095 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3099 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3103 - changed how we do type checks so that
3104 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3107 - moved accessor generation methods to
3108 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3109 conform to the API changes from
3112 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3113 - changed how constraints are compiled
3114 so that we do less recursion and more
3115 iteration. This makes the type check
3117 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3120 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3121 - created this from methods formerly found in
3122 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3124 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3125 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3127 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3128 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3130 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3131 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3133 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3136 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3137 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3138 - added tests for this
3139 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3140 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3141 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3142 - removed tests for this
3144 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3146 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3147 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3148 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3151 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3152 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3153 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3155 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3156 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3157 comments for more info.
3160 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3161 asked questions and common problems
3163 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3164 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3165 - added tests for this
3167 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3168 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3169 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3170 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3172 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3173 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3176 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3177 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3178 is much appreciated :)
3179 - added tests for this
3181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3182 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3183 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3186 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3187 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3189 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3191 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3192 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3196 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3197 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3198 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3200 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3202 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3205 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3206 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3207 keywords because we need to localize them.
3208 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3210 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3211 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3212 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3215 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3218 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3219 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3220 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3223 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3224 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3225 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3227 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3229 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3230 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3231 bottom of your class file.
3234 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3237 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3239 - improved error message when loading modules so
3240 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3241 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3242 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3245 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3246 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3247 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3249 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3250 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3252 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3253 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3254 turn them on for you.
3255 - added tests for this
3256 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3257 in Moose::Meta::Class

3284 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3285 - This release works in combination with
3286 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3287 release because it uses the a new
3288 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3289 complete Role implementation. It has
3290 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3291 the the previous CPAN version. This
3292 release also lacks good updated docs,
3293 the official release will have updated docs.
3296 - refactored the keyword exports
3297 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3298 accepts more than one Role at a time
3299 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3300 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3303 - refactored the keyword exports
3304 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3305 accepts more than one Role at a time
3307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3309 string enumerations which can be used as
3311 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3314 - more careful checking of params to new()
3317 - much work done on the role composition
3318 - many new tests for conflict detection
3319 and composition edge cases
3320 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3321 looking at the tests
3323 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3324 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3325 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3340 - no docs for this yet
3342 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3344 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3345 thanks to chansen for this commit
3346 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3347 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3348 on a per-attribute basis
3349 - added tests for this
3350 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3351 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3352 experimental feature and probably not finished

3354 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3355 - added tests for this
3358 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3417 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3419 - added test for this
3422 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
