1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
9 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
10 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
12 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
13 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
14 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
15 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
17 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
18 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
19 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
20 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
21 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
24 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
29 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
30 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
31 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
32 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
33 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
36 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
40 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
43 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
44 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
48 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
49 function (not just method). (doy)
53 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
54 and aren't easily installable/testable.
56 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
60 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
61 to be overridden more easily (doy).
63 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
67 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
68 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
70 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
74 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
75 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
76 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
78 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
82 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
83 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
84 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
86 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
87 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
91 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
92 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
94 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
95 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
99 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
100 is applied to a class (t0m).
102 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
103 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
105 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
108 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
109 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
111 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
112 be much more robust. (doy)
114 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
116 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
119 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
123 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
124 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
126 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
130 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
131 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
133 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
136 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
137 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
138 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
140 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
141 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
142 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
145 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
147 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
151 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
152 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
156 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
158 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
162 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
163 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
167 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
168 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
172 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
174 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
178 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
179 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
183 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
184 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
188 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
189 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
191 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
195 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
196 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
197 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
200 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
204 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
205 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
206 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
207 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
209 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
213 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
214 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
215 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
219 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
222 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
227 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
228 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
232 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
233 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
235 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
236 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
237 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
238 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
240 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
244 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
248 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
249 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
251 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
252 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
253 - Moose::Util::does_role
254 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
255 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
256 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
258 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
262 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
263 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
264 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
267 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
271 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
272 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
275 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
279 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
280 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
283 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
287 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
289 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
290 class. (Dave Rolsky).
292 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
293 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
294 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
296 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
297 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
298 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
301 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
302 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
304 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
305 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
306 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
308 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
310 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
311 substr et al, again. (sorear)
313 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
315 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
318 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
319 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
321 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
322 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
324 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
325 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
326 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
327 dependencies installed.
329 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
330 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
333 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
335 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
339 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
341 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
342 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
343 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
345 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
346 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
347 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
349 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
350 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
353 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
354 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
355 others. (nothingmuch)
357 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
358 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
359 remove_accessors. (doy)
361 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
362 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
363 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
365 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
366 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
368 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
369 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
370 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
371 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
374 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
375 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
377 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
378 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
380 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
382 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
383 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
386 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
387 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
388 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
389 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
390 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
392 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
393 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
394 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
395 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
396 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
397 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
398 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
401 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
402 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
403 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
404 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
405 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
407 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
408 which were not receiving the value of
409 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
410 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
411 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
412 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
416 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
417 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
418 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
419 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
420 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
423 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
424 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
425 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
426 - added tests for this (Stevan)
429 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
430 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
431 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
434 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
435 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
436 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
438 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
439 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
440 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
443 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
444 class if you pass it options for
445 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
446 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
447 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
448 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
449 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
450 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
451 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
452 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
453 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
455 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
456 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
457 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
458 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
459 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
462 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
464 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
465 existing delegation API. (hdp)
467 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
468 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
469 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
470 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
471 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
472 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
475 * Moose::Error::Croak
476 * Moose::Error::Confess
477 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
478 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
481 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
484 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
485 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
486 installing a broken sub. (doy)
489 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
492 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
493 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
494 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
496 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
497 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
498 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
499 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
500 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
502 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
503 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
506 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
508 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
509 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
512 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
513 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
515 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
516 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
517 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
518 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
520 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
521 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
522 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
523 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
524 using it for new code!
526 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
527 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
528 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
529 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
531 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
532 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
533 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
534 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
535 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
536 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
537 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
538 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
541 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
544 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
545 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
548 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
549 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
551 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
552 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
553 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
556 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
557 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
558 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
561 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
562 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
565 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
566 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
569 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
570 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
571 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
572 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
573 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
574 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
576 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
578 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
581 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
582 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
583 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
585 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
586 associated_methods. (hdp)
587 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
588 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
589 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
590 misspelled) arguments
592 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
593 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
594 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
595 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
597 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
598 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
599 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
601 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
604 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
605 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
606 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
609 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
610 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
612 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
614 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
615 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
617 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
618 * Moose::Manual::Types
619 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
620 string parsing rathole (mst)
622 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
623 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
624 using plain objects instead
626 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
627 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
630 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
632 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
633 three times today (perigrin)
634 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
635 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
637 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
638 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
639 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
640 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
643 - A role's required methods are now represented by
644 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
645 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
646 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
647 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
648 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
651 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
652 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
653 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
654 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
657 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
659 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
662 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
664 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
667 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
668 during global destruction. This method has been made more
669 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
673 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
674 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
677 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
678 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
680 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
681 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
682 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
685 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
687 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
688 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
691 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
695 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
696 methods during global destruction (doy)
699 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
700 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
704 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
705 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
708 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
709 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
712 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
713 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
715 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
717 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
721 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
722 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
723 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
726 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
727 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
728 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
731 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
733 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
734 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
735 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
738 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
739 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
740 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
741 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
743 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
744 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
745 of the Moose core (Sartak)
748 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
751 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
752 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
753 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
757 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
758 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
761 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
763 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
766 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
767 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
770 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
771 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
774 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
775 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
778 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
781 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
784 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
788 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
790 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
791 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
794 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
795 * More deprecations and renamings
796 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
797 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
798 when an object is constructed)
801 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
802 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
803 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
805 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
806 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
807 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
808 feature, and it works again.
811 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
813 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
815 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
816 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
817 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
819 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
820 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
821 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
822 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
823 message. Test provided by perigrin.
825 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
826 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
827 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
828 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
829 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
832 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
833 metaclass object. (hdp)
835 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
836 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
837 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
838 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
839 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
840 point out this fact. (hdp)
842 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
843 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
845 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
846 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
849 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
850 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
851 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
852 called during instance construction were passed the
853 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
854 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
856 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
857 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
860 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
861 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
862 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
865 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
866 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
867 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
868 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
869 them, but they are not for "public" use.
872 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
874 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
875 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
876 when an object is constructed)
877 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
879 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
880 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
881 when an object is constructed)
882 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
883 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
884 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
887 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
889 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
890 * No changes from 0.72_01.
892 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
894 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
895 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
896 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
899 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
900 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
902 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
904 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
905 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
907 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
908 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
911 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
912 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
915 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
916 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
917 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
919 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
920 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
924 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
925 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
926 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
928 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
929 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
932 * Moose::Manual::Delta
933 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
934 with recommended workarounds.
936 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
937 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
939 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
940 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
941 (yes, spelled like that).
943 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
944 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
947 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
948 changes in latest Class::MOP.
950 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
952 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
953 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
954 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
955 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
956 instead. Reported by doy.
958 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
960 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
961 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
963 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
964 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
965 message) is now deprecated.
966 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
967 often got it wrong. For example:
969 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
971 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
975 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
976 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
977 bite you in weird cases.
979 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
980 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
981 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
984 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
985 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
989 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
992 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
993 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
996 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
997 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1000 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1003 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1004 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1005 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1006 - added tests for this (stevan)
1008 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1009 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1010 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1011 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1015 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1016 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1017 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1018 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1020 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1021 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1022 - added tests for this (rafl)
1024 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1025 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1026 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1027 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1031 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1032 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1035 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1036 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1037 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1039 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1041 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1042 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1044 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1045 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1046 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1047 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1048 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1050 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1051 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1052 error message did not specify the attribute name
1055 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1057 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1059 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1060 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1061 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1063 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1064 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1067 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1069 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1070 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1071 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1072 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1074 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1076 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1077 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1078 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1079 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1081 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1082 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1083 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1085 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1086 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1087 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1088 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1089 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1091 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1092 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1093 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1094 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1095 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1097 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1098 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1099 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1100 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1101 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1102 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1104 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1105 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1106 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1107 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1108 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1109 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1111 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1112 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1114 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1115 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1116 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1117 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1119 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1120 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1123 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1127 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1128 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1130 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1131 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1132 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1133 guts. (nothingmuch).
1135 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1136 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1137 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1140 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1141 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1142 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1144 * Moose::Meta::Class
1145 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1148 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1149 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1151 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1152 * Moose::Unsweetened
1153 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1156 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1157 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1158 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1159 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1160 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1161 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1163 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1164 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1165 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1166 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1167 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1168 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1169 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1170 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1171 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1172 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1174 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1176 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1177 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1179 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1180 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1181 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1182 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1184 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1185 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1186 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1187 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1188 same methods for a single role did not work
1189 right (worked just fine with multiple
1191 - added test for this (stevan)
1193 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1194 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1195 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1198 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1199 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1200 - added test for this (t0m)
1203 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1204 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1205 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1207 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1208 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1209 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1210 - added test for this (t0m)
1212 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1213 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1214 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1215 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1216 - added test for this (perigrin)
1219 - create method for constructing a role
1220 dynamically (Sartak)
1221 - added test for this (Sartak)
1222 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1223 - added test for this (Sartak)
1226 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1228 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1229 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1230 methods is useful (Sartak)
1232 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1233 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1234 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1237 * Moose::Meta::Class
1238 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1239 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1240 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1241 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1242 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1243 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1246 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1247 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1249 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1250 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1251 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1252 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1253 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1255 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1257 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1258 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1259 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1262 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1263 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1264 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1265 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1266 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1267 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1270 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1271 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1272 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1273 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1274 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1275 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1276 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1277 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1278 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1279 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1280 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1282 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1283 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1286 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1287 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1288 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1289 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1290 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1292 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1294 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1295 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1296 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1298 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1299 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1301 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1302 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1303 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1304 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1307 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1308 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1310 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1312 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1313 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1315 * Moose::Meta::Class
1316 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1317 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1318 a required attribute
1320 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1321 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1322 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1323 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1325 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1326 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1328 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1329 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1330 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1331 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1332 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1333 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1334 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1335 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1337 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1338 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1339 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1341 * Roles and role application
1342 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1343 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1344 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1345 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1346 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1348 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1349 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1352 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1353 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1354 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1355 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1356 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1359 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1360 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1361 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1362 changes in the Moose internals.
1364 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1365 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1366 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1369 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1370 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1371 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1372 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1374 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1375 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1376 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1377 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1379 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1380 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1381 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1382 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1383 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1384 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1385 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1386 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1387 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1388 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1389 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1390 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1391 constraint implementations.
1393 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1397 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1398 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1399 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1400 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1401 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1402 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1403 - added tests for this (rafl)
1405 * Moose::Meta::Class
1406 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1407 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1408 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1409 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1410 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1411 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1412 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1413 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1416 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1417 - added tests for this (thepler)
1419 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1420 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1421 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1422 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1425 * Moose::Meta::Class
1426 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1427 * Moose::Meta::Method
1430 * Moose::Error::Default
1431 * Moose::Error::Croak
1432 * Moose::Error::Confess
1433 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1434 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1435 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1436 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1437 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1438 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1440 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1442 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1443 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1445 * Moose::Unsweetened
1446 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1447 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1448 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1450 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1451 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1452 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1453 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1454 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1457 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1458 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1460 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1461 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1462 several major changes in this release of Moose.

1505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1506 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1509 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1510 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1511 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1512 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1513 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1514 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1516 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1517 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1519 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1521 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1522 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1526 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1527 method when that method was provided by another role being
1528 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1529 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1531 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1539 - added test for this (t0m)
1541 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1542 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1543 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1545 - added test for this (t0m)
1548 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1549 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1550 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1553 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1554 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1556 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1558 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1559 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1561 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1562 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1563 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1565 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1566 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1569 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

1587 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1591 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1595 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1596 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1597 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1598 created so that the process can be more easily

1633 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1634 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1636 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1637 ... this is not my day today ...
1639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1640 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1641 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1642 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1643 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1646 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1647 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1648 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1649 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1650 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1653 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1655 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1656 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1657 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1658 this is not ever something you want to do
1659 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1660 - added tests for this (stevan)
1663 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1665 - added test for this

1677 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1678 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1681 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1683 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1685 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1688 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1689 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1690 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1691 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1692 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1693 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1694 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1695 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1696 - added tests for this
1698 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1699 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1700 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1701 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1772 which was causing the indexer to choke
1774 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1775 (late night release engineering)--
1777 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1778 changes in this release

1791 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1794 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1795 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1796 method for immutablization to check if the
1797 destructor object even needs to be created
1800 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1801 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1802 - added more descriptive error message to help
1803 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1804 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1806 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1808 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1809 XS based functionality is now optional
1810 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1811 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1812 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1814 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1815 to take care of this, mostly we added
1816 support for the package_name and name
1817 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1818 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1819 support regexp matching of names
1820 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1821 - tests added for this
1822 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1823 is currently not supported in roles,
1824 but, ... patches welcome
1825 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1826 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1827 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1830 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1831 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1832 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1833 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1834 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1835 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1836 - added test for this
1838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1839 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1840 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1843 * Moose::Meta::Class
1844 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1848 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1850 - added tests for this
1851 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1852 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1854 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1855 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1856 themselves parameterizable types
1858 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1860 called by the inlined immutable
1862 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1864 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1865 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1866 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1867 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1869 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1870 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

1882 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1885 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1886 ->body when looping through the
1887 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1889 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1890 eating the $@ values, and so not
1891 working correctly, it still kind of
1892 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1893 - added tests for this
1895 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1896 - added new recipe for immutable
1897 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1899 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1915 drink more coffee before
1916 doing release engineering
1918 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1952 - added test for this
1954 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2075 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2077 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2078 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2079 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2080 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2081 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2083 - added more delegation tests
2084 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2085 support traits and their introspection.
2086 - added tests for this

2326 - added tests for this
2329 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2330 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2372 - fixed how required methods are handled
2373 when they encounter overriden or modified
2374 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2375 - added tests for this
2377 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2378 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2379 the | always creates a union and so is
2380 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2381 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2383 - added more tests for this
2385 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2388 * Parameterized Types
2389 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2390 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2391 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2392 They can also be nested:
2393 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2394 And work with the type unions as well:
2395 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2397 * Better Framework Extendability
2398 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2399 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2400 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2401 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2404 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2405 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2406 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2407 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2410 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2412 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2641 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2642 so that you can actually document your
2643 attributes and inspect them through the
2645 - added tests and docs for this
2647 * Moose::Meta::Class
2648 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2649 it will first look in for the class in the
2650 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2651 then default to just loading $name.
2652 - added tests and docs for this
2654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2655 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2656 - added test for this
2659 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2660 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2661 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2662 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2664 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2665 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2668 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2670 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2671 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2672 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2675 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2676 !! for this developer release to work !!
2678 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2679 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2680 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2681 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2682 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2683 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2684 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2685 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2686 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2687 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2688 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2690 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2691 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2692 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2693 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2696 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2697 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2698 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2699 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2700 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2702 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2704 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2705 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2708 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2709 called unless they actually need to be.
2710 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2711 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2712 DEMOLISH method present.
2714 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2715 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2716 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2717 type constraint, which allows for a
2718 hand optimized version of the type
2719 constraint to be used when possible.
2720 - Any internally created type constraints
2721 now provide an optimized version as well.
2723 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2725 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2726 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2727 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2729 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2730 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2731 your class namespace of these exported
2734 * Moose::Meta::Class
2735 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2736 comes up during global destruction
2738 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2742 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2745 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2746 - changed how we do type checks so that
2747 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2750 - moved accessor generation methods to
2751 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2752 conform to the API changes from
2755 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2756 - changed how constraints are compiled
2757 so that we do less recursion and more
2758 iteration. This makes the type check
2760 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2763 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2764 - created this from methods formerly found in
2765 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2767 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2768 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2770 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2771 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2773 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2774 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2776 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2779 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2780 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2781 - added tests for this
2782 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2783 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2784 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2785 - removed tests for this
2787 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2789 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2790 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2791 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2794 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2795 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2796 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2798 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2799 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2800 comments for more info.
2803 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2804 asked questions and common problems
2806 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2807 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2808 - added tests for this
2810 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2811 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2812 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2813 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2815 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2816 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2819 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2820 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2821 is much appreciated :)
2822 - added tests for this
2824 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2825 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2826 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2829 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2830 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2832 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2834 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2835 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2839 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2840 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2841 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2843 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2845 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2848 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2849 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2850 keywords because we need to localize them.
2851 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2853 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2854 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2855 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2858 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2861 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2862 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2863 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2866 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2867 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2868 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2870 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2872 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2873 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2874 bottom of your class file.
2877 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2880 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2882 - improved error message when loading modules so
2883 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2884 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2885 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2888 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2889 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2890 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2892 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2893 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2895 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2896 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2897 turn them on for you.
2898 - added tests for this
2899 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2900 in Moose::Meta::Class
2903 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2904 automatically turned on for you.

2923 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2926 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2927 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2928 - This release works in combination with
2929 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2930 release because it uses the a new
2931 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2932 complete Role implementation. It has
2933 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2934 the the previous CPAN version. This
2935 release also lacks good updated docs,
2936 the official release will have updated docs.
2939 - refactored the keyword exports
2940 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2941 accepts more than one Role at a time
2942 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2943 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2946 - refactored the keyword exports
2947 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2948 accepts more than one Role at a time
2950 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2951 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2952 string enumerations which can be used as
2954 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2957 - more careful checking of params to new()
2960 - much work done on the role composition
2961 - many new tests for conflict detection
2962 and composition edge cases
2963 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2964 looking at the tests
2966 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2967 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2968 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2970 * Moose::Meta::Class
2971 - some small changes to support the new
2973 - some small additions to support Roles
2975 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2976 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2978 - some small changes to support the new
2980 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2981 with the 'handles' option
2982 - added several tests for this
2983 - no docs for this yet
2985 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2987 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2988 thanks to chansen for this commit
2989 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2990 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2991 on a per-attribute basis
2992 - added tests for this
2993 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2994 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2995 experimental feature and probably not finished
2996 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2997 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2998 - added tests for this

3060 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3062 - added test for this
3065 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
