5 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve
6 startup performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements
7 may break backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using)
8 complex metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!

11 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
12 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
13 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
14 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
15 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect the new
16 layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All work now should
17 be done in topic branches and reviewed by a core committer before
18 being applied to master. All releases are done by a cabal member and
19 merged from master to stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame
22 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application classes.
24 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
25 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application classes. (rafl)
28 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
29 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
30 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
33 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
34 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
36 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
37 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
38 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
41 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
42 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
43 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
44 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
45 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
46 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
48 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
50 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
53 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
54 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
55 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
57 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
58 associated_methods. (hdp)
59 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
60 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
61 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
64 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
65 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
66 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
67 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
69 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
70 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
71 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
73 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
76 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
77 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
78 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
81 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
82 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
84 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
86 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
87 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
89 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
90 * Moose::Manual::Types
91 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
92 string parsing rathole (mst)
94 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
95 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
96 using plain objects instead
99 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
102 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
104 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
105 three times today (perigrin)
106 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
107 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
109 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
110 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
111 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
112 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
115 - A role's required methods are now represented by
116 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
117 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
118 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
119 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
120 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
123 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
124 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
125 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
126 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
129 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
131 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
134 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
136 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
139 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
140 during global destruction. This method has been made more
141 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
145 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
146 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
149 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
150 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
152 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
153 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
154 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
157 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
159 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
160 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
163 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
167 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
168 methods during global destruction (doy)
171 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
172 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
176 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
177 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
180 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
181 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
184 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
185 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
187 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
189 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
193 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
194 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
195 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
198 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
199 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
200 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
203 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
205 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
206 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
207 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
210 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
211 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
212 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
213 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
215 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
216 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
217 of the Moose core (Sartak)
220 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
223 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
224 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
225 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
229 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
230 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
233 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
235 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
238 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
239 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
242 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
243 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
246 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
247 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
250 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
253 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
255 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
256 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
260 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
263 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
266 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
267 * More deprecations and renamings
268 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
269 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
270 when an object is constructed)
273 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
274 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
275 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
278 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
279 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
280 feature, and it works again.
283 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
285 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
287 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
288 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
289 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
291 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
292 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
293 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
294 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
295 message. Test provided by perigrin.
297 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
298 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
299 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
300 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
301 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
304 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
305 metaclass object. (hdp)
307 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
308 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
309 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
310 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
311 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
312 point out this fact. (hdp)
314 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
315 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
317 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
318 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
321 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
322 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
323 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
324 called during instance construction were passed the
325 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
326 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
328 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
329 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
332 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
333 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
334 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
337 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
338 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
339 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
340 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
341 them, but they are not for "public" use.
344 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
346 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
347 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
348 when an object is constructed)
349 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
351 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
352 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
353 when an object is constructed)
354 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
355 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
356 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
359 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
361 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
362 * No changes from 0.72_01.
364 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
366 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
367 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
368 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
370 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
371 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
372 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
374 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
376 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
377 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
379 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
380 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
383 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
384 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
387 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
388 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
389 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
391 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
392 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
396 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
397 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
398 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
400 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
401 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
404 * Moose::Manual::Delta
405 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
406 with recommended workarounds.
408 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
409 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
411 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
412 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
413 (yes, spelled like that).
415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
416 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
419 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
420 changes in latest Class::MOP.
422 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
424 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
425 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
426 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
427 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
428 instead. Reported by doy.
430 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
432 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
433 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
436 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
437 message) is now deprecated.
438 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
439 often got it wrong. For example:
441 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
443 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
447 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
448 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
449 bite you in weird cases.
451 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
452 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
453 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
456 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
457 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
461 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
464 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
465 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
468 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
469 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
471 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
472 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
475 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
476 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
477 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
478 - added tests for this (stevan)
480 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
481 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
482 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
483 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
487 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
488 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
489 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
490 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
492 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
493 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
494 - added tests for this (rafl)
496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
497 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
498 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
499 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
503 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
504 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
507 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
508 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
509 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
511 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
513 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
514 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
517 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
518 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
519 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
520 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
522 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
523 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
524 error message did not specify the attribute name
527 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
529 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
531 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
532 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
533 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
535 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
536 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
539 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
541 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
542 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
543 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
544 of fixes and formatting improvements.
546 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
548 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
549 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
550 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
551 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
553 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
554 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
555 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
557 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
558 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
559 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
560 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
561 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
563 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
564 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
565 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
566 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
567 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
569 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
570 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
571 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
572 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
573 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
574 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
576 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
577 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
578 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
579 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
580 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
581 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
583 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
584 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
586 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
587 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
588 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
589 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
591 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
592 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
595 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
599 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
600 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
602 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
603 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
604 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
607 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
608 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
609 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
611 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
612 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
613 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
614 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
617 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
620 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
621 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
623 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
625 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
628 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
629 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
630 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
631 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
632 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
633 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
635 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
636 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
637 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
638 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
639 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
640 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
641 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
642 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
643 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
644 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
646 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
648 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
649 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
651 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
652 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
653 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
654 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
656 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
657 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
658 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
659 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
660 same methods for a single role did not work
661 right (worked just fine with multiple
663 - added test for this (stevan)
665 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
666 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
667 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
670 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
671 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
672 - added test for this (t0m)
675 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
676 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
677 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
679 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
680 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
681 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
682 - added test for this (t0m)
684 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
685 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
686 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
687 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
688 - added test for this (perigrin)
691 - create method for constructing a role
693 - added test for this (Sartak)
694 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
695 - added test for this (Sartak)
698 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
700 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
701 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
702 methods is useful (Sartak)
704 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
705 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
706 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
710 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
711 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
712 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
713 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
714 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
715 - added tests for this (jdv79)
718 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
719 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
721 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
722 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
723 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
724 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
725 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
727 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
729 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
730 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
731 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
734 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
735 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
736 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
737 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
738 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
739 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
742 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
743 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
744 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
745 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
746 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
747 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
748 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
749 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
750 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
751 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
752 future. (jnapiorkowski)
754 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
755 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
758 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
759 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
760 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
761 type. (jnapiorkowski)
762 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
764 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
766 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
767 predicate, and link to more details sections in
768 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
770 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
771 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
773 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
774 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
775 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
776 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
779 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
780 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
782 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
784 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
785 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
788 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
789 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
792 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
793 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
794 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
795 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
797 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
798 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
800 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
801 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
802 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
803 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
804 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
805 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
806 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
807 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
809 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
810 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
811 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
813 * Roles and role application
814 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
815 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
816 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
817 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
818 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
820 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
821 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
824 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
825 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
826 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
827 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
828 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
831 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
832 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
833 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
834 changes in the Moose internals.
836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
837 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
838 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
841 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
842 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
843 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
844 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
846 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
847 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
848 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
849 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
851 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
852 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
853 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
854 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
855 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
856 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
857 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
858 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
859 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
860 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
861 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
862 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
863 constraint implementations.
865 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
869 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
870 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
871 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
872 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
873 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
874 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
875 - added tests for this (rafl)
878 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
879 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
880 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
881 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
882 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
883 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
884 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
885 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
888 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
889 - added tests for this (thepler)
891 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
892 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
893 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
894 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
898 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
899 * Moose::Meta::Method
902 * Moose::Error::Default
903 * Moose::Error::Croak
904 * Moose::Error::Confess
905 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
906 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
907 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
908 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
909 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
910 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
912 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
914 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
915 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
918 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
919 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
920 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
922 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
923 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
924 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
925 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
926 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
929 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
930 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
932 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
933 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
934 several major changes in this release of Moose.
935 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
938 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
940 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
941 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
943 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
948 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
949 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
951 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
953 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
954 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
955 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
956 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
957 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
958 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
960 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
961 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
962 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
964 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
965 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
966 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
969 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
970 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
971 dependency to 0.64_07.
973 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
974 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
975 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
977 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
978 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
981 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
982 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
983 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
984 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
985 coincidental exception. (t0m).
986 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
988 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
989 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
991 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
993 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
994 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
998 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
999 method when that method was provided by another role being
1000 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1001 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1003 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1005 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1006 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1008 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1009 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1010 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1011 - added test for this (t0m)
1013 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1014 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1015 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1017 - added test for this (t0m)
1020 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1021 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1022 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1025 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1026 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1028 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1030 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1031 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1033 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1034 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1035 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1037 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1038 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1041 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1042 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1043 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1044 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1048 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1049 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1050 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1053 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1054 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1055 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1056 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1059 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1063 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1064 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1065 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1067 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1069 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1070 created so that the process can be more easily
1071 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1073 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1074 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1075 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1076 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1078 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1079 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1082 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1083 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1085 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1086 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1087 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1089 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1090 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1091 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1093 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1094 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1096 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1097 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1100 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1101 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1105 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1106 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1108 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1109 ... this is not my day today ...
1111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1112 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1113 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1114 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1115 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1118 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1119 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1120 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1121 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1122 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1125 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1127 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1128 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1129 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1130 this is not ever something you want to do
1131 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1132 - added tests for this (stevan)
1135 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1137 - added test for this
1139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1140 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1141 - added tests for this (wreis)
1143 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1144 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1145 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1146 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1148 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1149 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1150 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1153 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1155 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1157 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1160 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1161 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1162 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1163 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1164 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1165 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1166 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1167 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1168 - added tests for this
1170 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1171 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1172 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1173 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1175 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1177 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1178 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1179 - added tests for this (sartak)
1180 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1181 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1184 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1186 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1187 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1190 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1191 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1192 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1194 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1196 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1197 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1200 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1201 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1202 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1205 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1206 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1208 - added docs for this (TODO).
1209 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1210 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1211 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1212 - fix builder and default both being used
1217 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1219 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1220 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1221 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1225 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1229 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1230 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1231 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1233 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1234 - move the ClassName type check code to
1235 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1237 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1238 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1240 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1241 (early morning release engineering)--
1243 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1244 which was causing the indexer to choke
1246 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1247 (late night release engineering)--
1249 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1250 changes in this release
1252 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1253 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1254 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1256 * Moose::Meta::Class
1257 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1258 since it is called so often by &meta
1260 * Moose::Meta::Class
1262 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1263 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1266 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1267 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1268 method for immutablization to check if the
1269 destructor object even needs to be created
1272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1273 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1274 - added more descriptive error message to help
1275 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1276 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1278 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1280 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1281 XS based functionality is now optional
1282 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1283 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1284 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1286 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1287 to take care of this, mostly we added
1288 support for the package_name and name
1289 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1290 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1291 support regexp matching of names
1292 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1293 - tests added for this
1294 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1295 is currently not supported in roles,
1296 but, ... patches welcome
1297 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1298 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1299 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1302 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1303 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1304 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1305 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1306 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1307 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1308 - added test for this
1310 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1311 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1312 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1315 * Moose::Meta::Class
1316 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1320 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1322 - added tests for this
1323 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1324 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1326 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1327 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1328 themselves parameterizable types
1330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1331 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1332 called by the inlined immutable
1334 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1336 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1337 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1338 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1339 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1341 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1342 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1346 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1347 causing occasional cpantester failures
1348 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1349 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1351 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1353 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1354 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1357 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1358 ->body when looping through the
1359 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1361 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1362 eating the $@ values, and so not
1363 working correctly, it still kind of
1364 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1365 - added tests for this
1367 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1368 - added new recipe for immutable
1369 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1371 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1372 - added new recipe for builder and
1373 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1375 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1376 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1377 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1380 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1382 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1383 since Module::Install has done that.
1385 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1387 drink more coffee before
1388 doing release engineering
1390 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1391 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1392 modules. This fixes that.
1394 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1395 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1396 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1398 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1399 since we have tests which need the C3

1505 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1507 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1798 - added tests for this
1801 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1802 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1841 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1844 - fixed how required methods are handled
1845 when they encounter overriden or modified
1846 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1847 - added tests for this
1849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1850 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1851 the | always creates a union and so is
1852 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1853 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

1857 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1860 * Parameterized Types
1861 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1862 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1863 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1864 They can also be nested:
1865 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1866 And work with the type unions as well:
1867 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1869 * Better Framework Extendability
1870 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1871 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1872 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1873 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1876 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1877 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1878 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1879 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2073 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2074 where not handled correctly in roles
2075 - added tests for this
2077 * Moose::Meta::Class
2078 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2079 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2080 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2082 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2083 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)

2086 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2087 so this release is just to fix that.
2090 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2091 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2092 (thanks to konobi for this)
2093 - added tests and docs
2095 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2096 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2098 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2099 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2100 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2101 - added tests for this
2102 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2103 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2104 functions to facilitate introspection.
2106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2107 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2108 to build the list of delegated methods
2109 correctly (and not override important
2110 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2112 - added tests and docs for this
2113 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2114 so that you can actually document your
2115 attributes and inspect them through the
2117 - added tests and docs for this
2119 * Moose::Meta::Class
2120 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2121 it will first look in for the class in the
2122 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2123 then default to just loading $name.
2124 - added tests and docs for this
2126 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2127 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2128 - added test for this
2131 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2132 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2133 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2134 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2136 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2137 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2140 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2142 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2143 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2144 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2147 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2148 !! for this developer release to work !!
2150 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2151 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2152 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2153 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2154 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2155 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2156 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2157 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2158 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2159 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2160 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2162 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2163 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2164 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2165 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2168 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2170 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2171 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2172 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2174 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2176 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2177 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2180 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2181 called unless they actually need to be.
2182 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2183 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2184 DEMOLISH method present.
2186 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2187 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2188 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2189 type constraint, which allows for a
2190 hand optimized version of the type
2191 constraint to be used when possible.
2192 - Any internally created type constraints
2193 now provide an optimized version as well.
2195 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2197 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2198 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2199 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2201 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2202 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2203 your class namespace of these exported
2206 * Moose::Meta::Class
2207 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2208 comes up during global destruction
2210 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2214 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2218 - changed how we do type checks so that
2219 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2222 - moved accessor generation methods to
2223 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2224 conform to the API changes from
2227 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2228 - changed how constraints are compiled
2229 so that we do less recursion and more
2230 iteration. This makes the type check
2232 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2235 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2236 - created this from methods formerly found in
2237 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2239 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2240 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2243 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2245 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2246 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2248 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2251 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2252 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2253 - added tests for this
2254 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2255 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2256 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2257 - removed tests for this
2259 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2261 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2262 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2263 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2266 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2267 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2268 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2270 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2271 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2272 comments for more info.
2275 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2276 asked questions and common problems
2278 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2279 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2280 - added tests for this
2282 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2283 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2284 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2285 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2287 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2288 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2291 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2292 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2293 is much appreciated :)
2294 - added tests for this
2296 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2297 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2298 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2302 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2304 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2306 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2307 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2311 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2312 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2313 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2315 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2317 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2320 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2321 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2322 keywords because we need to localize them.
2323 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2325 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2326 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2327 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2330 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2333 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2334 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2335 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2338 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2339 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2340 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2342 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2344 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2345 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2346 bottom of your class file.
2349 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2352 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2354 - improved error message when loading modules so
2355 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2356 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2357 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2360 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2361 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2362 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2364 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2365 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2367 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2368 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2369 turn them on for you.
2370 - added tests for this

2399 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2400 - This release works in combination with
2401 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2402 release because it uses the a new
2403 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2404 complete Role implementation. It has
2405 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2406 the the previous CPAN version. This
2407 release also lacks good updated docs,
2408 the official release will have updated docs.
2411 - refactored the keyword exports
2412 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2413 accepts more than one Role at a time

2424 string enumerations which can be used as
2426 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2429 - more careful checking of params to new()
2432 - much work done on the role composition
2433 - many new tests for conflict detection
2434 and composition edge cases
2435 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2436 looking at the tests
2438 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2439 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2440 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2447 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2448 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2450 - some small changes to support the new
2452 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2453 with the 'handles' option
2454 - added several tests for this
2455 - no docs for this yet

2459 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2460 thanks to chansen for this commit
2461 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2462 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2463 on a per-attribute basis
2464 - added tests for this
2465 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2466 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
