1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
7 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
8 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
12 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
13 is applied to a class (t0m).
15 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
16 twice in the same sentance (Florian Ragwitz).
18 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
22 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
23 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
25 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
29 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
30 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
32 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
35 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
36 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
37 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
39 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
40 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
41 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
44 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
46 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
50 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
51 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
55 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
57 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
61 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
62 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
66 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
67 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
71 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
77 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
78 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
82 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
83 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
87 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
88 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
90 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
94 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
95 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
96 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
103 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
104 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
105 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
106 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
108 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
112 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
113 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
114 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
118 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
121 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
125 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
126 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
127 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
131 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
132 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
134 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
135 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
136 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
137 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
139 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
143 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
147 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
148 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
150 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
151 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
152 - Moose::Util::does_role
153 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
154 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
155 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
157 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
161 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
162 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
163 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
166 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
170 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
171 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
174 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
178 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
179 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
182 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
186 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
188 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
189 class. (Dave Rolsky).
191 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
192 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
193 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
195 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
196 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
197 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
200 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
201 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
203 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
204 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
205 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
207 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
209 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
210 substr et al, again. (sorear)
212 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
214 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
217 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
218 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
220 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
221 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
223 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
224 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
225 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
226 dependencies installed.
228 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
229 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
232 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
234 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
238 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
240 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
241 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
242 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
244 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
245 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
246 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
248 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
249 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
252 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
253 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
254 others. (nothingmuch)
256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
257 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
258 remove_accessors. (doy)
260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
261 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
262 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
265 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
267 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
268 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
269 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
270 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
273 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
274 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
277 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
279 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
281 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
282 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
285 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
286 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
287 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
288 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
289 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
291 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
292 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
293 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
294 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
295 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
296 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
297 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
300 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
301 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
302 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
303 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
304 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
306 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
307 which were not receiving the value of
308 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
309 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
310 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
311 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
315 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
316 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
317 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
318 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
319 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
323 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
324 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
325 - added tests for this (Stevan)
328 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
329 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
330 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
333 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
335 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
338 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
339 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
342 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
343 class if you pass it options for
344 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
345 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
346 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
347 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
348 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
349 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
350 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
351 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
352 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
354 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
355 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
356 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
357 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
358 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
361 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
362 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
363 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
364 existing delegation API. (hdp)
366 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
367 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
368 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
369 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
370 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
371 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
374 * Moose::Error::Croak
375 * Moose::Error::Confess
376 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
377 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
380 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
383 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
384 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
385 installing a broken sub. (doy)
388 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
391 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
392 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
393 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
395 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
396 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
397 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
398 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
399 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
401 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
402 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
405 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
407 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
408 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
411 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
412 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
414 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
416 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
417 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
420 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
421 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
422 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
423 using it for new code!
425 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
426 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
427 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
428 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
430 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
431 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
432 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
433 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
434 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
435 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
436 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
437 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
440 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
443 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
444 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
447 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
448 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
451 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
452 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
455 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
456 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
457 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
460 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
461 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
463 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
464 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
465 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
468 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
469 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
470 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
471 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
472 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
473 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
475 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
477 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
480 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
481 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
482 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
484 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
485 associated_methods. (hdp)
486 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
487 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
488 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
489 misspelled) arguments
491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
492 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
493 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
494 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
496 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
497 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
498 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
500 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
503 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
504 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
505 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
508 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
509 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
511 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
513 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
514 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
516 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
517 * Moose::Manual::Types
518 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
519 string parsing rathole (mst)
521 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
522 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
523 using plain objects instead
525 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
526 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
529 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
531 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
532 three times today (perigrin)
533 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
534 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
536 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
537 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
538 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
539 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
542 - A role's required methods are now represented by
543 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
544 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
545 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
546 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
547 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
550 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
551 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
552 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
553 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
556 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
558 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
561 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
563 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
566 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
567 during global destruction. This method has been made more
568 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
572 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
573 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
576 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
577 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
579 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
580 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
581 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
584 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
586 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
587 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
590 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
594 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
595 methods during global destruction (doy)
598 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
599 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
603 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
604 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
607 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
608 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
611 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
612 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
614 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
616 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
620 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
621 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
622 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
625 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
626 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
627 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
630 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
632 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
633 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
634 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
637 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
638 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
639 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
640 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
642 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
643 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
644 of the Moose core (Sartak)
647 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
650 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
651 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
652 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
656 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
657 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
660 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
662 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
665 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
666 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
669 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
670 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
673 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
674 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
677 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
680 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
682 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
683 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
687 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
689 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
690 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
693 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
694 * More deprecations and renamings
695 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
696 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
697 when an object is constructed)
700 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
701 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
702 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
704 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
705 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
706 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
707 feature, and it works again.
710 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
712 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
714 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
715 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
716 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
719 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
720 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
721 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
722 message. Test provided by perigrin.
724 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
725 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
726 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
727 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
728 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
731 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
732 metaclass object. (hdp)
734 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
735 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
736 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
737 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
738 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
739 point out this fact. (hdp)
741 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
742 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
744 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
745 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
749 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
750 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
751 called during instance construction were passed the
752 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
753 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
755 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
756 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
759 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
760 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
761 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
764 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
765 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
766 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
767 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
768 them, but they are not for "public" use.
771 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
773 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
774 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
775 when an object is constructed)
776 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
778 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
779 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
780 when an object is constructed)
781 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
782 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
783 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
786 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
788 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
789 * No changes from 0.72_01.
791 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
793 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
794 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
795 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
798 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
799 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
801 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
803 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
804 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
806 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
807 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
810 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
811 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
814 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
815 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
816 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
818 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
819 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
823 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
824 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
825 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
827 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
828 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
831 * Moose::Manual::Delta
832 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
833 with recommended workarounds.
835 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
836 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
838 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
839 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
840 (yes, spelled like that).
842 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
843 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
846 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
847 changes in latest Class::MOP.
849 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
851 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
852 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
853 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
854 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
855 instead. Reported by doy.
857 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
859 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
860 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
862 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
863 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
864 message) is now deprecated.
865 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
866 often got it wrong. For example:
868 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
870 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
874 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
875 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
876 bite you in weird cases.
878 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
879 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
880 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
883 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
884 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
888 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
891 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
892 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
895 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
896 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
899 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
902 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
904 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
905 - added tests for this (stevan)
907 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
908 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
909 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
910 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
914 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
915 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
916 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
917 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
919 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
920 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
921 - added tests for this (rafl)
923 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
924 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
925 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
926 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
930 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
931 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
934 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
935 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
936 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
938 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
940 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
941 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
944 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
945 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
946 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
947 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
949 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
950 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
951 error message did not specify the attribute name
954 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
956 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
958 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
959 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
960 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
962 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
963 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
966 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
968 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
969 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
970 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
971 of fixes and formatting improvements.
973 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
975 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
976 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
977 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
978 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
980 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
981 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
982 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
984 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
985 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
986 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
987 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
988 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
990 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
991 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
992 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
993 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
994 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
996 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
997 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
998 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
999 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1000 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1001 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1003 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1004 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1005 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1006 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1007 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1008 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1010 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1011 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1013 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1014 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1015 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1016 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1018 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1019 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1022 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1026 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1027 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1029 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1030 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1031 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1032 guts. (nothingmuch).
1034 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1035 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1036 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1038 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1039 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1040 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1041 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1043 * Moose::Meta::Class
1044 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1047 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1048 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1050 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1051 * Moose::Unsweetened
1052 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1055 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1056 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1057 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1058 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1059 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1060 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1062 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1063 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1064 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1065 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1066 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1067 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1068 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1069 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1070 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1071 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1073 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1075 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1076 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1078 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1079 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1080 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1081 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1083 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1084 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1085 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1086 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1087 same methods for a single role did not work
1088 right (worked just fine with multiple
1090 - added test for this (stevan)
1092 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1093 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1094 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1097 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1098 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1099 - added test for this (t0m)
1102 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1103 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1104 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1107 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1108 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1109 - added test for this (t0m)
1111 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1112 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1113 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1114 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1115 - added test for this (perigrin)
1118 - create method for constructing a role
1119 dynamically (Sartak)
1120 - added test for this (Sartak)
1121 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1122 - added test for this (Sartak)
1125 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1127 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1128 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1129 methods is useful (Sartak)
1131 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1132 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1133 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1136 * Moose::Meta::Class
1137 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1138 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1139 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1140 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1141 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1142 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1145 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1146 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1148 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1149 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1150 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1151 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1152 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1154 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1156 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1157 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1158 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1161 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1162 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1163 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1164 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1165 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1166 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1169 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1170 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1171 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1172 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1173 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1174 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1175 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1176 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1177 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1178 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1179 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1182 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1185 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1186 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1187 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1188 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1189 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1191 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1193 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1194 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1195 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1197 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1198 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1200 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1201 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1202 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1203 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1206 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1207 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1209 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1211 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1212 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1214 * Moose::Meta::Class
1215 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1216 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1217 a required attribute
1219 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1220 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1221 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1222 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1224 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1225 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1228 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1229 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1230 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1231 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1232 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1233 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1234 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1236 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1237 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1238 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1240 * Roles and role application
1241 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1242 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1243 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1244 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1245 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1247 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1248 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1251 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1252 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1253 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1254 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1255 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1258 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1259 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1260 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1261 changes in the Moose internals.
1263 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1265 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1268 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1269 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1270 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1271 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1273 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1274 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1275 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1276 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1278 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1279 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1280 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1281 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1282 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1283 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1284 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1285 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1286 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1287 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1288 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1289 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1290 constraint implementations.
1292 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1296 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1297 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1298 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1299 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1300 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1301 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1302 - added tests for this (rafl)
1304 * Moose::Meta::Class
1305 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1306 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1307 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1308 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1309 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1310 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1311 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1312 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1315 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1316 - added tests for this (thepler)
1318 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1319 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1320 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1321 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1324 * Moose::Meta::Class
1325 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1326 * Moose::Meta::Method
1329 * Moose::Error::Default
1330 * Moose::Error::Croak
1331 * Moose::Error::Confess
1332 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1333 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1334 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1335 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1336 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1337 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1339 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1341 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1342 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1344 * Moose::Unsweetened
1345 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1346 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1347 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1349 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1350 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1351 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1352 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1353 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1356 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1357 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1359 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1360 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1361 several major changes in this release of Moose.

1409 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1410 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1411 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1412 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1413 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1415 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry

1536 ... this is not my day today ...
1538 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1539 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1540 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1541 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1542 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1545 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1546 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1547 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1548 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1549 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1552 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1554 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1555 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1587 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1588 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1589 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1590 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1591 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1592 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1593 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1594 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1595 - added tests for this
1597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1598 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1599 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1814 drink more coffee before
1815 doing release engineering

2070 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
2072 * Moose::Meta::Class
2073 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2074 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2075 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2076 method in the first place ;)
2078 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2079 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2080 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~

2086 - this release contains a major reworking and
2087 cleanup of the role system
2088 - 100% backwards compat.
2089 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2090 classes based on type of applicants
2091 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2092 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2093 used in this process
2094 - new Composite role metaclass
2095 - runtime application of roles to instances
2096 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2097 classes when applicable

2130 - added this module to support the refactor
2131 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2133 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

2135 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2139 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2141 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2142 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2143 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2145 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2182 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2183 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2186 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2187 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2188 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2189 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2193 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2194 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2195 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2203 - added docs for this
2205 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2206 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2207 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2208 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,

2224 with work correctly.
2225 - added tests for this
2228 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2229 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2232 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

2268 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2271 - fixed how required methods are handled
2272 when they encounter overriden or modified
2273 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2274 - added tests for this
2276 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2277 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2278 the | always creates a union and so is
2279 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2280 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2282 - added more tests for this
2284 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2287 * Parameterized Types
2288 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2289 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2290 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2291 They can also be nested:
2292 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2293 And work with the type unions as well:
2294 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2296 * Better Framework Extendability
2297 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2298 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2299 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2300 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2303 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2304 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2305 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2306 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2309 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2311 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2312 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2315 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2361 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2363 - added tests for this
2365 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2371 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2372 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2374 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2375 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2376 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2377 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2444 (but not changing the handles option)
2445 - added tests and docs for this
2448 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2449 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2460 the other side (perigrin)
2462 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2463 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2464 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2465 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2466 prototypes for functions
2467 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2468 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2469 - added tests and docs for this

2478 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2481 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2482 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2483 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2484 - added tests for this
2486 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2488 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2510 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2512 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2513 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2514 so this release is just to fix that.
2517 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2518 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2519 (thanks to konobi for this)

2530 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2531 functions to facilitate introspection.
2533 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2534 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2535 to build the list of delegated methods
2536 correctly (and not override important
2537 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2539 - added tests and docs for this
2540 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2541 so that you can actually document your
2542 attributes and inspect them through the
2544 - added tests and docs for this
2546 * Moose::Meta::Class
2547 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2548 it will first look in for the class in the
2549 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2550 then default to just loading $name.
2551 - added tests and docs for this
2553 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2554 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2555 - added test for this
2558 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2559 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2560 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2561 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2563 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2564 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2567 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2569 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2570 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2571 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2574 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2575 !! for this developer release to work !!
2577 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2578 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2579 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2580 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2581 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2582 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2583 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2584 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2585 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2586 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2587 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2589 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2590 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2591 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2592 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2595 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2596 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2597 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2598 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2599 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2601 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2603 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2604 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2607 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2608 called unless they actually need to be.
2609 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2610 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2611 DEMOLISH method present.
2613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2614 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2615 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2616 type constraint, which allows for a
2617 hand optimized version of the type
2618 constraint to be used when possible.
2619 - Any internally created type constraints
2620 now provide an optimized version as well.
2622 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2624 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2625 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2626 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2628 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2629 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2630 your class namespace of these exported
2633 * Moose::Meta::Class
2634 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2635 comes up during global destruction
2637 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2641 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2644 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2645 - changed how we do type checks so that
2646 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2649 - moved accessor generation methods to
2650 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2651 conform to the API changes from
2654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2655 - changed how constraints are compiled
2656 so that we do less recursion and more
2657 iteration. This makes the type check
2659 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2663 - created this from methods formerly found in
2664 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2666 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2667 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2669 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2670 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2672 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2673 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2675 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2677 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2678 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2679 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2680 - added tests for this
2681 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2682 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2683 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2684 - removed tests for this
2686 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2688 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2689 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2690 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2693 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2694 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2695 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2697 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2698 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2699 comments for more info.
2702 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2703 asked questions and common problems
2705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2706 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2707 - added tests for this
2709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2710 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2711 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2712 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2714 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2715 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2718 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2719 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2720 is much appreciated :)
2721 - added tests for this
2723 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2724 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2725 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2728 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2729 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2731 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2733 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2734 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2738 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2739 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2740 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2742 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2744 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2747 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2748 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2749 keywords because we need to localize them.
2750 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2752 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2753 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2754 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2757 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2760 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2761 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2762 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2765 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2766 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2767 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2769 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2771 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2772 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2773 bottom of your class file.
2776 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2779 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2781 - improved error message when loading modules so
2782 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2783 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2784 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2787 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2788 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2789 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2792 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2794 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2795 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2796 turn them on for you.
2797 - added tests for this
2798 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2799 in Moose::Meta::Class
2802 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2803 automatically turned on for you.
2804 - added tests for this
2807 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2808 - added tests for this
2809 - added some more edge case tests

2825 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2826 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2827 - This release works in combination with
2828 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2829 release because it uses the a new
2830 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2831 complete Role implementation. It has
2832 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2833 the the previous CPAN version. This
2834 release also lacks good updated docs,
2835 the official release will have updated docs.
2838 - refactored the keyword exports
2839 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2840 accepts more than one Role at a time
2841 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2842 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2845 - refactored the keyword exports
2846 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2847 accepts more than one Role at a time
2849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2850 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2851 string enumerations which can be used as
2853 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2856 - more careful checking of params to new()
2859 - much work done on the role composition
2860 - many new tests for conflict detection
2861 and composition edge cases
2862 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2863 looking at the tests
2865 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2866 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2867 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2869 * Moose::Meta::Class
2870 - some small changes to support the new
2872 - some small additions to support Roles
2874 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2875 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2877 - some small changes to support the new
2879 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2880 with the 'handles' option
2881 - added several tests for this
2882 - no docs for this yet
2884 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2886 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2887 thanks to chansen for this commit
2888 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2889 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2890 on a per-attribute basis
2891 - added tests for this
2892 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2893 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2894 experimental feature and probably not finished
