1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 - The unimport subs it generates now clean up re-exported functions like
6 blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from somewhere
9 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
10 - Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
13 - Use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors if
15 - Use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop test extraction and general
16 failures if you don't have the author side dependencies installed
19 - Added a with_immutable test function, to run a block of tests with and
20 without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
23 - Add Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports to allow easier testing
24 of TypeConsraints from the command line. (perigrin)
27 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
28 - Grammar error [rt.cpan.org #51791] (Amir E. Aharoni)
29 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
30 - Changed Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets
31 from substr et al, again. (sorear)
33 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
35 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
39 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
42 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
43 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
45 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
46 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
47 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
49 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
50 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
53 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
54 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
57 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
58 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
59 remove_accessors. (doy)
61 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
62 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
63 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
65 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
66 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
68 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
69 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
70 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
71 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
74 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
75 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
77 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
78 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
80 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
82 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
83 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
86 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
87 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
88 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
89 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
90 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
92 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
93 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
94 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
95 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
96 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
97 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
98 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
101 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
102 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
103 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
104 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
105 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
107 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
108 which were not receiving the value of
109 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
110 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
111 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
112 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
116 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
117 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
118 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
119 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
120 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
123 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
124 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
125 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
126 - added tests for this (Stevan)
129 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
130 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
131 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
134 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
136 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
138 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
139 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
140 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
143 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
144 class if you pass it options for
145 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
146 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
147 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
148 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
149 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
150 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
151 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
152 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
153 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
155 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
156 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
157 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
158 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
159 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
162 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
163 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
164 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
165 existing delegation API. (hdp)
167 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
168 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
169 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
170 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
171 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
172 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
175 * Moose::Error::Croak
176 * Moose::Error::Confess
177 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
178 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
181 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
184 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
185 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
186 installing a broken sub. (doy)
189 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
192 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
193 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
194 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
196 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
197 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
198 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
199 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
200 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
202 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
203 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
206 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
208 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
209 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
212 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
213 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
216 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
217 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
218 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
220 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
221 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
222 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
223 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
224 using it for new code!
226 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
227 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
228 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
229 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
231 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
232 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
233 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
234 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
235 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
236 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
237 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
238 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
241 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
244 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
245 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
249 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
251 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
252 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
253 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
256 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
257 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
258 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
261 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
262 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
264 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
265 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
266 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
269 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
271 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
272 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
273 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
274 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
276 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
278 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
282 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
283 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
285 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
286 associated_methods. (hdp)
287 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
288 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
289 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
290 misspelled) arguments
292 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
293 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
294 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
295 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
297 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
298 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
299 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
301 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
305 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
306 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
309 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
310 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
312 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
314 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
315 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
317 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
318 * Moose::Manual::Types
319 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
320 string parsing rathole (mst)
322 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
323 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
324 using plain objects instead
326 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
327 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
330 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
332 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
333 three times today (perigrin)
334 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
335 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
337 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
338 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
339 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
340 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
343 - A role's required methods are now represented by
344 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
345 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
346 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
347 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
348 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
351 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
352 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
353 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
354 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
357 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
359 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
362 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
364 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
367 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
368 during global destruction. This method has been made more
369 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
373 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
374 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
377 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
378 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
380 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
381 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
382 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
385 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
387 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
388 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
391 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
395 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
396 methods during global destruction (doy)
399 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
400 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
404 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
405 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
408 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
409 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
412 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
413 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
415 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
417 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
421 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
422 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
423 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
426 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
427 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
428 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
431 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
433 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
434 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
435 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
438 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
439 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
440 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
441 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
443 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
444 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
445 of the Moose core (Sartak)
448 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
451 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
452 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
453 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
457 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
458 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
461 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
463 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
466 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
467 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
470 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
471 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
474 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
475 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
478 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
481 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
483 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
484 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
488 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
490 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
491 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
494 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
495 * More deprecations and renamings
496 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
497 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
498 when an object is constructed)
501 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
502 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
503 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
505 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
506 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
507 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
508 feature, and it works again.
511 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
513 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
515 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
516 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
517 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
519 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
520 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
521 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
522 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
523 message. Test provided by perigrin.
525 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
526 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
527 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
528 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
529 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
532 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
533 metaclass object. (hdp)
535 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
536 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
537 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
538 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
539 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
540 point out this fact. (hdp)
542 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
543 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
545 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
546 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
549 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
550 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
551 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
552 called during instance construction were passed the
553 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
554 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
556 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
557 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
560 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
561 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
562 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
565 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
566 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
567 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
568 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
569 them, but they are not for "public" use.
572 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
574 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
575 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
576 when an object is constructed)
577 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
579 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
580 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
581 when an object is constructed)
582 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
583 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
584 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
587 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
589 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
590 * No changes from 0.72_01.
592 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
594 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
595 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
596 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
598 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
599 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
600 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
602 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
604 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
605 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
607 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
608 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
611 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
612 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
615 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
616 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
617 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
619 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
620 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
624 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
625 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
626 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
628 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
629 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
632 * Moose::Manual::Delta
633 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
634 with recommended workarounds.
636 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
637 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
640 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
641 (yes, spelled like that).
643 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
644 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
647 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
648 changes in latest Class::MOP.
650 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
652 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
653 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
654 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
655 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
656 instead. Reported by doy.
658 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
660 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
661 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
663 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
664 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
665 message) is now deprecated.
666 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
667 often got it wrong. For example:
669 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
671 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
675 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
676 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
677 bite you in weird cases.
679 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
680 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
681 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
684 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
685 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
689 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
692 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
693 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
696 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
697 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
700 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
703 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
704 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
705 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
706 - added tests for this (stevan)
708 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
709 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
710 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
711 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
715 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
716 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
717 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
718 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
720 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
721 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
722 - added tests for this (rafl)
724 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
725 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
726 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
727 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
731 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
732 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
735 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
736 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
737 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
739 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
741 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
742 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
745 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
746 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
747 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
748 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
750 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
751 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
752 error message did not specify the attribute name
755 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
757 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
759 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
760 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
761 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
763 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
764 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
767 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
769 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
770 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
771 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
772 of fixes and formatting improvements.
774 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
776 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
777 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
778 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
779 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
781 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
782 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
783 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
785 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
786 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
787 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
788 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
789 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
791 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
792 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
793 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
794 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
795 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
798 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
799 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
800 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
801 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
802 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
804 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
805 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
806 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
807 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
808 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
809 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
811 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
812 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
814 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
815 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
816 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
817 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
820 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
823 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
827 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
828 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
830 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
831 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
832 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
835 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
837 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
839 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
840 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
841 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
842 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
845 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
848 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
849 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
851 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
853 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
856 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
857 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
858 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
859 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
860 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
861 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
863 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
864 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
865 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
866 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
867 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
868 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
869 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
870 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
871 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
872 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
874 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
876 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
877 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
880 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
881 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
882 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
884 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
885 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
886 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
887 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
888 same methods for a single role did not work
889 right (worked just fine with multiple
891 - added test for this (stevan)
893 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
894 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
895 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
898 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
899 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
900 - added test for this (t0m)
903 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
904 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
905 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
907 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
908 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
909 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
910 - added test for this (t0m)
912 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
913 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
914 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
915 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
916 - added test for this (perigrin)
919 - create method for constructing a role
921 - added test for this (Sartak)
922 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
923 - added test for this (Sartak)
926 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
928 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
929 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
930 methods is useful (Sartak)
932 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
933 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
934 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
938 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
939 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
940 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
941 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
942 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
943 - added tests for this (jdv79)
946 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
947 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
949 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
950 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
951 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
952 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
953 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
955 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
957 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
958 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
959 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
962 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
963 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
964 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
965 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
966 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
967 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
971 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
972 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
973 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
974 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
975 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
976 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
977 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
978 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
979 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
980 future. (jnapiorkowski)
982 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
983 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
986 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
987 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
988 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
989 type. (jnapiorkowski)
990 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
992 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
994 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
995 predicate, and link to more details sections in
996 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
999 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1001 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1002 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1003 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1004 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1007 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1008 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1010 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1012 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1013 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1015 * Moose::Meta::Class
1016 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1017 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1018 a required attribute
1020 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1022 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1023 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1025 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1026 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1028 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1029 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1030 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1031 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1032 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1033 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1034 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1035 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1037 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1038 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1039 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1041 * Roles and role application
1042 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1043 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1044 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1045 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1046 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1048 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1049 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1052 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1053 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1054 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1055 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1056 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1059 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1060 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1061 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1062 changes in the Moose internals.
1064 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1065 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1066 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1069 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1070 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1071 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1072 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1074 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1075 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1076 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1077 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1079 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1080 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1081 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1082 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1083 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1084 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1085 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1086 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1087 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1088 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1089 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1090 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1091 constraint implementations.
1093 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1097 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1098 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1099 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1100 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1101 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1102 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1103 - added tests for this (rafl)
1105 * Moose::Meta::Class
1106 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1107 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1108 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1109 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1110 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1111 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1112 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1113 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1116 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1117 - added tests for this (thepler)
1119 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1120 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1121 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1122 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1125 * Moose::Meta::Class
1126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1127 * Moose::Meta::Method
1130 * Moose::Error::Default
1131 * Moose::Error::Croak
1132 * Moose::Error::Confess
1133 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1134 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1135 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1136 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1137 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1138 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1140 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1142 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1143 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1145 * Moose::Unsweetened
1146 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1147 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1148 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1150 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1151 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1152 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1153 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1154 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1157 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1158 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1160 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1161 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1162 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1163 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1166 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1168 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1169 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1171 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1174 - Various bug fixes.
1176 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1177 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1179 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1181 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1182 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1183 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1184 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1185 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1186 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1188 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1189 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1190 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1192 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1193 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1194 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1197 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1198 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1199 dependency to 0.64_07.
1201 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1202 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1203 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1205 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1206 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1209 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1210 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1211 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1212 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1213 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1214 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1216 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1217 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1219 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1221 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1222 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1226 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1227 method when that method was provided by another role being
1228 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1229 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1231 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1233 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1234 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1236 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1237 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1238 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1239 - added test for this (t0m)
1241 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1242 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1243 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1245 - added test for this (t0m)
1248 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1249 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1250 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1253 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1254 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1256 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1258 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1259 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1261 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1262 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1263 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1265 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1266 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1269 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1270 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1271 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1272 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1276 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1277 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1278 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1281 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1282 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1283 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1284 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1287 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1291 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1292 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1293 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1295 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1297 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1298 created so that the process can be more easily
1299 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1302 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1303 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1304 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1306 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1307 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1310 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1311 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1313 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1314 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1315 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1317 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1318 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1319 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1321 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1322 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1324 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1325 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1328 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1329 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1333 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1334 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1336 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1337 ... this is not my day today ...
1339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1340 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1341 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1342 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1343 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1346 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1347 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1348 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1349 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1350 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1353 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1355 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1356 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1357 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1358 this is not ever something you want to do
1359 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

1388 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1389 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1390 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1391 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1392 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1393 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1394 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1395 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1396 - added tests for this
1398 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1399 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1509 XS based functionality is now optional
1510 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2069 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2072 - fixed how required methods are handled
2073 when they encounter overriden or modified
2074 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2075 - added tests for this
2077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2078 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2079 the | always creates a union and so is
2080 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2081 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2083 - added more tests for this
2085 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2088 * Parameterized Types
2089 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2090 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2091 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2092 They can also be nested:
2093 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2094 And work with the type unions as well:
2095 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2097 * Better Framework Extendability
2098 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2099 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2100 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2101 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2104 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2105 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2106 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2107 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2110 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2112 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2113 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2162 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2164 - added tests for this
2166 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2172 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2173 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2175 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2192 (thanks to shlomif).
2194 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2195 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2196 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2197 - added tests for this

2245 (but not changing the handles option)
2246 - added tests and docs for this
2249 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2250 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2261 the other side (perigrin)
2263 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2264 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2265 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2266 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2267 prototypes for functions
2268 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2269 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2279 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2282 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2283 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2284 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2285 - added tests for this
2287 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2289 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2307 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2308 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2310 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2311 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2313 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2314 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2315 so this release is just to fix that.
2318 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2319 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2320 (thanks to konobi for this)
2321 - added tests and docs
2323 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2324 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2326 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2327 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2328 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2329 - added tests for this

2331 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2332 functions to facilitate introspection.
2334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2335 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2336 to build the list of delegated methods
2337 correctly (and not override important
2338 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2340 - added tests and docs for this
2341 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2342 so that you can actually document your
2343 attributes and inspect them through the
2345 - added tests and docs for this
2347 * Moose::Meta::Class
2348 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2349 it will first look in for the class in the
2350 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2351 then default to just loading $name.
2352 - added tests and docs for this
2354 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2355 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2356 - added test for this
2359 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2360 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2361 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2362 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2364 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2365 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2368 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2370 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2371 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2372 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2375 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2376 !! for this developer release to work !!
2378 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2379 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2380 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2381 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2382 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2383 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2384 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2385 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2386 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2387 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2388 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2390 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2391 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2392 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2393 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2396 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2397 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2398 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2399 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2400 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2402 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2404 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2405 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2408 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2409 called unless they actually need to be.
2410 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2411 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2412 DEMOLISH method present.
2414 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2415 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2416 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2417 type constraint, which allows for a
2418 hand optimized version of the type
2419 constraint to be used when possible.
2420 - Any internally created type constraints
2421 now provide an optimized version as well.
2423 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2425 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2426 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2427 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2429 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2430 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2431 your class namespace of these exported
2434 * Moose::Meta::Class
2435 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2436 comes up during global destruction
2438 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2442 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2446 - changed how we do type checks so that
2447 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2450 - moved accessor generation methods to
2451 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2452 conform to the API changes from
2455 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2456 - changed how constraints are compiled
2457 so that we do less recursion and more
2458 iteration. This makes the type check
2460 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2463 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2464 - created this from methods formerly found in
2465 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2467 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2468 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2470 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2471 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2473 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2474 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2476 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2478 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2479 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2480 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2481 - added tests for this
2482 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2483 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2484 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2485 - removed tests for this
2487 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2489 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2490 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2491 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2494 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2495 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2496 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2498 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2499 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2500 comments for more info.
2503 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2504 asked questions and common problems
2506 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2507 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2508 - added tests for this
2510 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2511 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2512 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2513 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2515 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2516 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2519 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2520 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2521 is much appreciated :)
2522 - added tests for this
2524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2525 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2526 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2529 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2530 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2532 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2534 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2535 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2539 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2540 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2541 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2543 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2545 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2548 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2549 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2550 keywords because we need to localize them.
2551 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2553 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2554 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2555 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2558 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2561 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2562 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2563 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2566 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2567 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2568 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2570 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2572 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2573 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2574 bottom of your class file.
2577 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2580 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2582 - improved error message when loading modules so
2583 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2584 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2585 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2588 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2589 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2590 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2592 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2593 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2595 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2596 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2597 turn them on for you.
2598 - added tests for this
2599 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2600 in Moose::Meta::Class
2603 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2604 automatically turned on for you.
2605 - added tests for this
2608 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2609 - added tests for this
2610 - added some more edge case tests

2623 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2626 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2627 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2628 - This release works in combination with
2629 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2630 release because it uses the a new
2631 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2632 complete Role implementation. It has
2633 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2634 the the previous CPAN version. This
2635 release also lacks good updated docs,
2636 the official release will have updated docs.
2639 - refactored the keyword exports
2640 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2641 accepts more than one Role at a time
2642 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2643 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2646 - refactored the keyword exports
2647 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2648 accepts more than one Role at a time
2650 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2651 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2652 string enumerations which can be used as
2654 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2657 - more careful checking of params to new()
2660 - much work done on the role composition
2661 - many new tests for conflict detection
2662 and composition edge cases
2663 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2664 looking at the tests
2666 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2667 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2668 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2670 * Moose::Meta::Class
2671 - some small changes to support the new
2673 - some small additions to support Roles
2675 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2676 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2678 - some small changes to support the new
2680 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2681 with the 'handles' option
2682 - added several tests for this
2683 - no docs for this yet
2685 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2687 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2688 thanks to chansen for this commit
2689 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2690 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2691 on a per-attribute basis
2692 - added tests for this
2693 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2694 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2695 experimental feature and probably not finished
2696 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2697 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2698 - added tests for this
2701 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2708 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2709 thanks to chansen for this commit

2712 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
2713 construct_instance (for the better)
2715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2716 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2717 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
