1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether or not
7 we are currently in global destruction (doy)
9 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
10 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
11 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
14 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
15 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
16 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
17 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
19 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
20 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
21 of the Moose core (Sartak)
24 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
27 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
28 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
29 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
33 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
34 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
37 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
39 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
42 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
43 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
46 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
47 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
50 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
51 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
54 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
57 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
59 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
60 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
64 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
66 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
67 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
70 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
71 * More deprecations and renamings
72 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
73 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
74 when an object is constructed)
77 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
78 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
79 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
81 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
82 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
83 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
84 feature, and it works again.
87 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
89 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
91 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
92 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
93 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
95 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
96 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
97 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
98 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
99 message. Test provided by perigrin.
101 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
102 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
103 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
104 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
105 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
108 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
109 metaclass object. (hdp)
111 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
112 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
113 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
114 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
115 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
116 point out this fact. (hdp)
118 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
119 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
121 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
122 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
126 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
127 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
128 called during instance construction were passed the
129 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
130 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
132 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
133 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
136 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
137 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
138 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
141 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
142 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
143 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
144 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
145 them, but they are not for "public" use.
148 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
150 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
151 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
152 when an object is constructed)
153 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
155 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
156 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
157 when an object is constructed)
158 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
159 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
160 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
163 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
165 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
166 * No changes from 0.72_01.
168 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
170 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
171 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
172 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
174 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
175 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
176 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
178 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
180 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
181 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
183 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
184 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
187 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
188 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
191 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
192 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
193 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
196 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
200 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
201 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
202 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
204 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
205 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
208 * Moose::Manual::Delta
209 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
210 with recommended workarounds.
212 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
213 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
215 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
216 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
217 (yes, spelled like that).
219 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
220 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
223 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
224 changes in latest Class::MOP.
226 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
228 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
229 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
230 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
231 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
232 instead. Reported by doy.
234 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
236 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
237 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
239 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
240 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
241 message) is now deprecated.
242 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
243 often got it wrong. For example:
245 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
247 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
251 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
252 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
253 bite you in weird cases.
255 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
256 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
257 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
260 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
261 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
265 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
268 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
269 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
272 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
273 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
275 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
276 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
279 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
280 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
281 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
282 - added tests for this (stevan)
284 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
285 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
286 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
287 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
291 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
292 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
293 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
294 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
296 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
297 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
298 - added tests for this (rafl)
300 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
301 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
302 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
303 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
307 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
308 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
311 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
312 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
313 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
315 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
317 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
318 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
321 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
322 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
323 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
324 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
327 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
328 error message did not specify the attribute name
331 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
333 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
335 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
336 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
337 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
340 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
343 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
345 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
346 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
347 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
348 of fixes and formatting improvements.
350 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
352 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
353 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
354 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
355 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
357 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
358 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
359 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
361 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
362 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
363 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
364 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
365 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
367 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
368 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
369 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
370 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
371 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
373 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
374 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
375 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
376 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
377 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
378 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
380 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
381 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
382 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
383 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
384 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
385 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
387 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
388 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
390 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
391 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
392 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
393 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
395 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
396 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
399 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
403 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
404 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
406 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
407 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
408 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
411 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
413 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
416 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
417 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
418 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
421 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
424 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
425 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
427 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
429 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
432 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
433 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
434 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
435 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
436 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
437 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
439 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
440 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
441 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
442 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
443 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
444 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
445 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
446 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
447 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
448 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
450 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
452 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
453 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
456 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
457 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
458 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
460 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
461 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
462 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
463 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
464 same methods for a single role did not work
465 right (worked just fine with multiple
467 - added test for this (stevan)
469 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
470 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
471 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
474 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
475 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
476 - added test for this (t0m)
479 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
480 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
481 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
483 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
484 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
485 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
486 - added test for this (t0m)
488 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
489 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
490 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
491 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
492 - added test for this (perigrin)
495 - create method for constructing a role
497 - added test for this (Sartak)
498 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
499 - added test for this (Sartak)
502 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
504 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
505 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
506 methods is useful (Sartak)
508 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
509 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
510 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
514 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
515 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
516 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
517 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
518 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
519 - added tests for this (jdv79)
522 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
523 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
525 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
526 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
527 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
528 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
529 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
531 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
533 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
534 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
535 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
538 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
539 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
540 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
541 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
542 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
543 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
546 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
547 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
548 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
549 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
550 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
551 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
552 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
553 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
554 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
555 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
556 future. (jnapiorkowski)
558 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
559 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
562 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
563 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
564 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
565 type. (jnapiorkowski)
566 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
568 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
570 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
571 predicate, and link to more details sections in
572 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
574 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
575 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
577 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
578 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
579 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
580 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
583 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
584 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
586 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
588 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
589 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
592 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
593 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
596 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
597 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
598 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
599 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
601 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
602 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
605 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
606 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
607 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
608 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
609 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
610 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
611 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
613 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
614 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
615 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
617 * Roles and role application
618 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
619 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
620 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
621 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
622 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
624 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
625 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
628 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
629 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
630 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
631 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
632 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
635 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
636 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
637 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
638 changes in the Moose internals.
640 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
642 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
645 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
646 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
647 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
648 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
650 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
651 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
652 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
653 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
655 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
656 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
657 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
658 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
659 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
660 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
661 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
662 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
663 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
664 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
665 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
666 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
667 constraint implementations.
669 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
673 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
674 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
675 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
676 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
677 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
678 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
679 - added tests for this (rafl)
682 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
683 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
684 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
685 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
686 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
687 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
688 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
689 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
692 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
693 - added tests for this (thepler)
695 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
696 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
697 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
698 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
702 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
703 * Moose::Meta::Method
706 * Moose::Error::Default
707 * Moose::Error::Croak
708 * Moose::Error::Confess
709 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
710 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
711 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
712 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
713 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
714 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
716 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
718 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
719 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
722 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
723 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
724 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
726 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
727 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
728 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
729 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
730 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
733 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
734 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
736 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
737 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
738 several major changes in this release of Moose.
739 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
742 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
744 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
745 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
747 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the

774 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
775 dependency to 0.64_07.

779 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
781 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
782 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
785 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
786 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
787 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
788 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
789 coincidental exception. (t0m).
790 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
792 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
793 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
795 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
797 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
798 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"

814 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
815 - added test for this (t0m)
817 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
818 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
819 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
821 - added test for this (t0m)
824 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
825 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
826 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
829 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
830 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
832 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
834 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
837 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
838 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
839 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
841 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

860 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
863 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
867 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

882 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
883 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
886 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
887 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)

910 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
912 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
913 ... this is not my day today ...
915 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
916 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
917 clone_and_inherit options still works for
918 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
919 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
922 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
923 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
924 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
925 in this release, except the fact that it includes
926 the changes that I didn't include in the last
929 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
931 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
932 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
933 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
934 this is not ever something you want to do
935 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

961 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
964 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
965 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
966 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
967 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
968 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
969 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
970 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
971 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
972 - added tests for this
974 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
975 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
976 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1082 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1084 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1085 XS based functionality is now optional
1086 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1087 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1088 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1090 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1091 to take care of this, mostly we added
1092 support for the package_name and name
1093 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1094 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1095 support regexp matching of names
1096 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1097 - tests added for this
1098 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1099 is currently not supported in roles,
1100 but, ... patches welcome

1191 drink more coffee before
1192 doing release engineering
1194 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1195 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1196 modules. This fixes that.

1309 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1311 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1560 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
1563 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1564 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1565 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1566 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

1582 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1583 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

1602 - added tests for this
1605 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1606 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1648 - fixed how required methods are handled
1649 when they encounter overriden or modified
1650 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1651 - added tests for this
1653 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1654 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1655 the | always creates a union and so is
1656 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1657 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1659 - added more tests for this
1661 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1664 * Parameterized Types
1665 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1666 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1667 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1668 They can also be nested:
1669 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1670 And work with the type unions as well:
1671 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1673 * Better Framework Extendability
1674 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1675 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1676 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1677 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1680 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1681 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1682 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1683 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1686 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1688 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1689 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
1692 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

1749 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1751 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

1842 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1843 prototypes for functions
1844 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1845 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1917 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1918 so that you can actually document your
1919 attributes and inspect them through the

1923 * Moose::Meta::Class
1924 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1925 it will first look in for the class in the
1926 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1927 then default to just loading $name.
1928 - added tests and docs for this
1930 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1931 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1932 - added test for this
1935 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

1937 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1938 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1940 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1941 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1944 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1946 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1947 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1948 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1951 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1952 !! for this developer release to work !!
1954 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1955 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1956 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1957 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1958 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1959 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1960 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1961 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1962 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1963 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1964 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1966 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1967 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1968 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1969 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1972 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1973 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1974 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1975 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1976 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1978 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1980 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1981 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1984 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1985 called unless they actually need to be.
1986 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1987 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1988 DEMOLISH method present.
1990 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1991 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1992 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1993 type constraint, which allows for a
1994 hand optimized version of the type
1995 constraint to be used when possible.
1996 - Any internally created type constraints
1997 now provide an optimized version as well.
1999 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2001 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2002 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2003 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2005 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2006 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2007 your class namespace of these exported

2023 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2026 - moved accessor generation methods to
2027 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2028 conform to the API changes from
2031 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2032 - changed how constraints are compiled
2033 so that we do less recursion and more
2034 iteration. This makes the type check
2036 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2039 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2040 - created this from methods formerly found in
2041 Moose::Meta::Attribute

2055 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2056 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2057 - added tests for this
2058 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2059 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2060 broke predicates in an ugly way.

2063 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2065 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2066 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2067 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2070 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2071 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2072 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2074 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2075 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2076 comments for more info.
2079 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2080 asked questions and common problems
2082 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2083 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2084 - added tests for this
2086 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2087 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2088 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2089 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2091 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2092 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2095 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2096 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2097 is much appreciated :)
2098 - added tests for this
2100 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2101 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2102 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2105 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2106 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2108 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2110 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2111 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2115 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2116 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2117 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2119 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2121 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2124 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2125 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2126 keywords because we need to localize them.
2127 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2129 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2130 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2131 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2134 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2137 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2138 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2139 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2142 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2143 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2144 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2146 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2148 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2149 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2150 bottom of your class file.
2153 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2156 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2158 - improved error message when loading modules so
2159 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2160 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2161 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2164 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2165 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2166 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2169 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2171 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2172 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2173 turn them on for you.
2174 - added tests for this
2175 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2176 in Moose::Meta::Class
2179 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2180 automatically turned on for you.

2184 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2185 - added tests for this

2202 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2203 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2204 - This release works in combination with
2205 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2206 release because it uses the a new
2207 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2208 complete Role implementation. It has
2209 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2210 the the previous CPAN version. This
2211 release also lacks good updated docs,
2212 the official release will have updated docs.
2215 - refactored the keyword exports
2216 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2217 accepts more than one Role at a time
2218 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2219 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2222 - refactored the keyword exports
2223 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2224 accepts more than one Role at a time
2226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2227 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2228 string enumerations which can be used as
2230 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2233 - more careful checking of params to new()
2236 - much work done on the role composition
2237 - many new tests for conflict detection
2238 and composition edge cases
2239 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2240 looking at the tests
2242 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2243 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2244 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2246 * Moose::Meta::Class
2247 - some small changes to support the new
2249 - some small additions to support Roles
2251 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2252 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2254 - some small changes to support the new
2256 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2257 with the 'handles' option
2258 - added several tests for this
2259 - no docs for this yet

2263 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2264 thanks to chansen for this commit
2265 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2266 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2267 on a per-attribute basis
2268 - added tests for this
2269 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2270 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2271 experimental feature and probably not finished
