1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
9 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
11 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
14 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
15 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
19 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
20 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
22 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
26 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
27 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
31 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
33 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
37 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
39 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
43 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
44 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
46 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
50 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
52 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
56 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
58 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
59 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
61 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
65 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
66 skips every other role. (rjbs)
68 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
69 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
70 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
71 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
72 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
74 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
78 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
79 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
80 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
83 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
88 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
90 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
91 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
93 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
97 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
98 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
99 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
103 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
104 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
106 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
107 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
109 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
110 environments. (doy, mateu)
112 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
116 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
117 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
118 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
119 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
123 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
124 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
126 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
130 * Update conflicts list.
133 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
137 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
138 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
139 details. (Dave Rolsky)
141 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
142 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
143 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
144 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
145 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
149 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
150 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
151 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
152 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
153 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
156 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
160 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
161 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
163 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
166 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
170 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
171 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
172 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
173 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
175 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
176 immutable classes). (mo)
178 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
179 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
180 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
182 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
186 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
188 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
190 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
194 * Fix some indexing issues.
196 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
198 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
202 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
203 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
204 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
205 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
206 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
208 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
209 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
214 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
215 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
216 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
217 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
219 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
220 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
221 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
225 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
226 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
229 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
233 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
234 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
238 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
242 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
243 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
244 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
245 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
248 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
252 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
255 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
259 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
260 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
261 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
264 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
268 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
269 policy. (Chris Prather)
271 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
272 on this new support policy. (doy)
276 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
277 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
278 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
280 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
281 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
283 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
287 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
288 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
289 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
290 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
293 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
297 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
298 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
301 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
305 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
306 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
308 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
309 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
313 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
314 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
315 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
316 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
317 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
318 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
320 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
321 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
323 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
324 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
325 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
326 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
328 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
329 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
331 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
336 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
337 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
339 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
343 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
344 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
345 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
347 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
351 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
352 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
353 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
355 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
356 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
359 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
360 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
363 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
364 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
365 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
367 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
368 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
373 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
374 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
375 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
376 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
378 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
379 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
381 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
382 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
384 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
385 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
386 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
387 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
389 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
390 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
391 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
394 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
395 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
396 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
397 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
399 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
400 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
403 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
404 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
405 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
407 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
411 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
412 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
413 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
415 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
416 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
417 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
420 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
421 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
422 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
424 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
425 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
426 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
428 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
429 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
433 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
434 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
435 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
437 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
438 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
439 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
440 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
442 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
446 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
447 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
448 value is a reference.
450 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
451 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
453 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
457 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
458 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
459 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
461 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
465 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
466 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
470 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
471 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
472 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
474 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
475 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
476 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
478 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
482 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
484 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
488 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
490 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
491 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
496 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
497 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
499 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
500 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
501 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
502 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
503 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
505 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
506 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
507 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
508 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
510 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
514 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
515 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
520 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
522 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
524 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
529 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
531 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
535 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
536 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
537 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
539 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
540 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
541 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
542 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
544 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
545 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
546 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
547 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
548 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
551 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
556 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
557 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
558 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
559 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
560 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
563 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
567 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
570 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
571 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
575 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
576 function (not just method). (doy)
580 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
581 and aren't easily installable/testable.
583 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
587 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
588 to be overridden more easily (doy).
590 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
594 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
595 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
597 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
601 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
602 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
603 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
605 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
609 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
610 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
611 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
613 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
614 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
618 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
619 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
621 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
622 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
626 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
627 is applied to a class (t0m).
629 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
630 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
632 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
635 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
636 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
638 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
639 be much more robust. (doy)
641 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
643 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
646 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
650 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
651 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
653 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
657 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
658 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
660 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
663 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
664 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
665 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
667 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
668 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
669 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
672 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
674 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
678 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
679 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
683 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
685 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
689 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
690 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
694 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
695 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
699 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
701 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
705 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
706 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
710 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
711 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
715 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
716 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
718 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
722 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
723 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
724 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
727 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
731 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
732 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
733 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
734 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
736 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
740 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
741 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
742 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
746 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
749 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
753 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
754 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
755 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
759 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
760 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
762 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
763 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
764 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
765 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
767 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
771 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
775 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
776 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
778 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
779 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
780 - Moose::Util::does_role
781 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
782 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
783 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
785 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
789 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
790 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
791 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
794 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
798 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
799 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
802 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
806 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
807 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
810 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
814 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
816 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
817 class. (Dave Rolsky).
819 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
820 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
821 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
823 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
824 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
825 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
828 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
829 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
831 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
832 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
833 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
835 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
837 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
838 substr et al, again. (sorear)
840 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
842 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
845 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
846 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
848 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
849 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
851 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
852 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
853 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
854 dependencies installed.
856 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
857 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
860 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
862 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
866 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
868 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
869 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
870 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
872 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
873 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
874 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
876 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
877 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
880 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
881 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
882 others. (nothingmuch)
884 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
885 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
886 remove_accessors. (doy)
888 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
889 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
890 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
893 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
895 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
896 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
897 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
898 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
901 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
902 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
904 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
905 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
907 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
909 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
910 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
913 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
914 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
915 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
916 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
917 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
919 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
921 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
922 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
923 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
924 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
925 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
928 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
929 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
930 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
931 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
932 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
934 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
935 which were not receiving the value of
936 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
937 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
938 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
939 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
943 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
944 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
945 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
946 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
947 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
950 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
951 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
952 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
953 - added tests for this (Stevan)
956 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
957 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
958 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
961 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
962 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
963 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
965 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
966 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
967 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
970 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
971 class if you pass it options for
972 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
973 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
974 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
975 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
976 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
977 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
978 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
979 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
980 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
982 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
983 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
984 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
985 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
986 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
989 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
990 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
991 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
992 existing delegation API. (hdp)
994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
995 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
996 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
997 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
998 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
999 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1002 * Moose::Error::Croak
1003 * Moose::Error::Confess
1004 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1005 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1008 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1011 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1012 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1013 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1015 * Moose::Meta::Class
1016 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1019 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1020 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1021 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1023 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1024 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1025 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1026 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1027 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1029 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1030 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1033 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1035 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1036 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1039 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1040 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1042 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1043 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1044 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1045 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1047 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1048 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1049 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1050 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1051 using it for new code!
1053 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1054 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1055 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1056 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1058 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1059 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1060 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1061 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1062 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1063 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1064 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1065 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1068 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1071 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1072 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1075 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1076 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1078 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1079 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1080 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1082 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1083 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1084 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1085 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1087 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1088 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1089 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1091 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1092 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1093 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1096 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1097 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1098 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1099 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1100 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1101 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1103 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1105 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1108 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1109 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1110 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1112 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1113 associated_methods. (hdp)
1114 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1115 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1116 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1117 misspelled) arguments
1119 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1120 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1121 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1122 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1124 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1125 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1126 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1128 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1131 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1132 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1133 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1136 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1137 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1139 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1140 * Moose::Meta::Class
1141 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1142 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1144 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1145 * Moose::Manual::Types
1146 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1147 string parsing rathole (mst)
1149 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1150 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1151 using plain objects instead
1153 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1154 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1155 that's what we need.
1157 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1158 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1159 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1160 three times today (perigrin)
1161 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1162 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1164 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1165 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1166 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1167 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1170 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1171 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1172 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1173 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1174 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1175 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1178 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1179 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1180 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1181 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1184 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1186 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1189 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1191 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1194 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1195 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1196 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1200 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1201 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1204 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1205 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1207 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1208 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1209 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1211 * Moose::Unsweetened
1212 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1214 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1215 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1218 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1222 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1223 methods during global destruction (doy)
1225 * Moose::Meta::Class
1226 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1227 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1228 consumption (Sartak)
1230 * Moose::Meta::Class
1231 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1232 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1235 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1236 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1239 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1240 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1242 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1244 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1248 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1249 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1250 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1253 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1254 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1255 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1258 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1260 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1261 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1262 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1265 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1266 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1267 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1268 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1270 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1271 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1272 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1275 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1278 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1279 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1280 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1284 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1285 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1287 * Moose::Meta::Class
1288 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1290 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1292 * Moose::Meta::Class
1293 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1294 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1297 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1298 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1301 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1302 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1305 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1308 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1310 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1311 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1314 * Moose::Meta::Class
1315 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1317 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1318 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1321 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1322 * More deprecations and renamings
1323 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1324 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1325 when an object is constructed)
1328 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1329 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1330 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1332 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1333 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1334 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1335 feature, and it works again.
1338 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1340 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1342 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1343 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1344 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1346 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1347 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1348 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1349 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1350 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1352 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1353 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1354 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1355 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1356 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1359 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1360 metaclass object. (hdp)
1362 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1363 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1364 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1365 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1366 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1367 point out this fact. (hdp)
1369 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1370 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1372 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1373 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1375 * Moose::Meta::Class
1376 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1377 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1378 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1379 called during instance construction were passed the
1380 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1381 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1383 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1384 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1387 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1388 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1389 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1392 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1393 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1394 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1395 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1396 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1398 - Moose::Meta::Class
1399 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1401 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1402 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1403 when an object is constructed)
1404 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1406 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1407 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1408 when an object is constructed)
1409 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1410 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1411 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1414 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1416 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1417 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1419 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1421 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1422 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1423 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1425 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1426 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1427 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1429 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1431 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1432 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1434 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1435 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1438 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1439 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1442 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1443 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1444 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1446 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1447 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1451 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1452 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1453 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1455 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1456 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1459 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1460 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1461 with recommended workarounds.
1463 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1464 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1466 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1467 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1468 (yes, spelled like that).
1470 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1471 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1473 * Moose::Meta::Class
1474 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1475 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1477 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1479 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1480 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1481 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1482 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1483 instead. Reported by doy.
1485 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1487 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1488 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1490 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1491 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1492 message) is now deprecated.
1493 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1494 often got it wrong. For example:
1496 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1498 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1502 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1503 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1504 bite you in weird cases.
1506 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1507 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1508 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1509 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1511 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1512 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1516 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1519 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1520 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1523 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1524 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1526 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1527 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1530 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1531 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1532 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1533 - added tests for this (stevan)
1535 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1536 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1537 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1538 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1542 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1543 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1544 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1545 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1547 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1548 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1549 - added tests for this (rafl)
1551 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1552 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1553 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1554 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1558 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1559 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1562 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1563 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1564 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1566 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1568 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1569 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1571 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1572 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1573 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1574 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1575 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1577 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1578 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1579 error message did not specify the attribute name
1582 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1584 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1586 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1587 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1588 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1591 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1594 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1596 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1597 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1598 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1599 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1601 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1603 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1604 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1605 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1606 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1608 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1609 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1610 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1612 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1613 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1614 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1615 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1616 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1618 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1619 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1620 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1621 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1622 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1625 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1626 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1627 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1628 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1629 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1631 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1632 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1633 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1634 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1635 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1636 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1638 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1639 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1641 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1642 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1643 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1644 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1646 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1647 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1650 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1654 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1655 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1657 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1658 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1659 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1660 guts. (nothingmuch).
1662 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1663 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1664 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1667 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1668 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1669 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1671 * Moose::Meta::Class
1672 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1675 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1676 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1678 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1679 * Moose::Unsweetened
1680 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1683 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1684 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1685 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1686 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1687 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1688 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1691 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1692 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1693 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1694 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1695 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1696 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1697 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1698 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1699 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1701 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1703 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1704 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1706 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1707 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1708 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1709 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1711 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1712 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1713 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1714 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1715 same methods for a single role did not work
1716 right (worked just fine with multiple
1718 - added test for this (stevan)
1720 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1721 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1722 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1725 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1726 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1727 - added test for this (t0m)
1730 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1731 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1732 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1734 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1735 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1736 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1737 - added test for this (t0m)
1739 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1740 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1741 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1742 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1743 - added test for this (perigrin)
1746 - create method for constructing a role
1747 dynamically (Sartak)
1748 - added test for this (Sartak)
1749 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1750 - added test for this (Sartak)
1753 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1755 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1756 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1757 methods is useful (Sartak)
1759 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1760 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1761 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1764 * Moose::Meta::Class
1765 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1766 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1767 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1768 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1769 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1770 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1773 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1774 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1776 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1777 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1778 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1779 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1780 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1782 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1784 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1785 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1786 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1789 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1790 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1791 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1792 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1793 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1794 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1798 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1799 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1800 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1801 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1802 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1803 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1804 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1805 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1806 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1807 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1809 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1810 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1813 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1814 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1815 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1816 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1817 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1819 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1821 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1822 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1823 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1825 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1826 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1828 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1829 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1830 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1831 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1834 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1835 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1837 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1839 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1840 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1842 * Moose::Meta::Class
1843 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1844 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1845 a required attribute
1847 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1848 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1849 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1850 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1852 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1853 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1855 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1856 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1857 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1858 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1859 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1860 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1861 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1862 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1864 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1865 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1866 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1868 * Roles and role application
1869 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1870 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1871 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1872 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1873 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1875 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1876 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1879 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1880 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1881 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1882 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1883 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1886 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1887 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1888 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1889 changes in the Moose internals.
1891 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1893 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1896 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1897 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1898 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1899 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1901 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1902 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1903 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1904 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1906 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1907 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1908 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1909 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1910 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1911 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1912 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1913 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1914 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1915 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1916 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1917 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1918 constraint implementations.
1920 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1924 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1925 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1926 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1927 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1928 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1929 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1930 - added tests for this (rafl)
1932 * Moose::Meta::Class
1933 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1934 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1935 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1936 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1937 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1938 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1939 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1940 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1943 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1944 - added tests for this (thepler)
1946 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1947 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1948 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1949 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1952 * Moose::Meta::Class
1953 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1954 * Moose::Meta::Method
1957 * Moose::Error::Default
1958 * Moose::Error::Croak
1959 * Moose::Error::Confess
1960 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1961 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1962 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1963 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1964 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1965 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1967 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1969 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1970 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1972 * Moose::Unsweetened
1973 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1974 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1975 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1977 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1978 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1979 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1980 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1981 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1984 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1985 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1987 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1988 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1989 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1990 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1993 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1995 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1996 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1998 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2001 - Various bug fixes.
2003 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2004 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2006 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2008 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2009 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2010 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2011 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2012 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2013 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2015 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2016 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2017 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2019 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2020 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2021 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2024 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2025 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2026 dependency to 0.64_07.
2028 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2029 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2030 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2032 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2033 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2036 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2037 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2038 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2039 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2040 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2041 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2043 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2044 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2046 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2048 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2049 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2053 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2054 method when that method was provided by another role being
2055 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2056 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2058 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2063 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2064 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2065 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2066 - added test for this (t0m)
2068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2069 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2070 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2072 - added test for this (t0m)
2075 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2076 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors

2081 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2083 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2086 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2088 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2089 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2090 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

2104 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2105 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2108 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2109 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2110 Rolsky and nothingmuch)

2164 ... this is not my day today ...
2166 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2167 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2168 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2169 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2170 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2173 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2174 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2175 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2176 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2177 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2180 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2182 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2183 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2215 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2216 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2217 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2218 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2219 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2220 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2221 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2222 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2223 - added tests for this
2225 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2226 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2227 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2336 XS based functionality is now optional
2337 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2338 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2339 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2442 drink more coffee before
2443 doing release engineering
2445 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2750 Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2751 - lots of cleanup of such things as:
2753 - type constraint handling
2754 - error handling/messages
2755 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2757 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2758 - added this module to support the refactor
2759 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2761 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2762 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2763 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2767 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2769 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2770 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2771 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2773 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2774 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)
2776 * Moose::Meta::Class
2778 - several tweaks to take advantage of the
2779 new method map caching in Class::MOP

2786 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2787 - added tests for this
2789 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2790 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2791 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2792 types without having to explictly define them
2793 - added tests for this
2795 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2796 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2797 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2799 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2800 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2801 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2802 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2803 - added tests for this
2804 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2805 a single type at different times instead of
2806 having to do it all in one place
2807 - added tests for this
2809 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2810 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2811 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2814 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2815 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2816 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2817 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2818 new features above (although you cannot add
2819 more type coercions for Union types)
2821 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2822 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2823 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2824 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2825 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2826 - added tests for this.
2827 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2828 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2829 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2830 - added tests for this
2831 - added docs for this
2833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2834 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2835 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2836 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2837 instead it will just return undef.
2838 - added docs for this
2840 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2852 with work correctly.
2853 - added tests for this
2856 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2857 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2860 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2861 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2862 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2864 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2895 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2896 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2899 - fixed how required methods are handled
2900 when they encounter overriden or modified
2901 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2902 - added tests for this
2904 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2905 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2906 the | always creates a union and so is
2907 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2908 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2910 - added more tests for this
2912 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2915 * Parameterized Types
2916 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2917 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2918 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2919 They can also be nested:
2920 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2921 And work with the type unions as well:
2922 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2924 * Better Framework Extendability
2925 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2926 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2927 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2928 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2931 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2932 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2933 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2934 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2937 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2939 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2940 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2943 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2971 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2973 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2974 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2975 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2976 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2978 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2979 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2980 - updated the accompanying test as well
2982 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2983 +++ with new features added as well +++
2985 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2986 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2987 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of

2989 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2991 - added tests for this
2993 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2999 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3000 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3002 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3003 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3004 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
3005 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3019 (thanks to shlomif).
3021 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3022 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3023 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3024 - added tests for this

3027 - added tests for this
3029 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3030 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

3072 (but not changing the handles option)
3073 - added tests and docs for this
3076 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3077 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3078 - adjusted tests for this
3080 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3081 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3082 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3088 the other side (perigrin)
3090 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3091 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3092 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3093 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3094 prototypes for functions
3095 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3096 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3106 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3109 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3110 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3111 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3112 - added tests for this
3114 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3116 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3129 where not handled correctly in roles
3130 - added tests for this
3132 * Moose::Meta::Class
3133 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3134 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3135 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3137 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3138 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3140 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3141 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3142 so this release is just to fix that.
3145 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3146 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3147 (thanks to konobi for this)
3148 - added tests and docs
3150 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3151 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3153 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3154 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3155 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3156 - added tests for this
3157 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3158 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3159 functions to facilitate introspection.
3161 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3162 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3163 to build the list of delegated methods
3164 correctly (and not override important
3165 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3167 - added tests and docs for this
3168 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3169 so that you can actually document your
3170 attributes and inspect them through the
3172 - added tests and docs for this
3174 * Moose::Meta::Class
3175 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3176 it will first look in for the class in the
3177 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3178 then default to just loading $name.
3179 - added tests and docs for this
3181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3182 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3183 - added test for this
3186 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3187 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3188 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3189 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3191 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3192 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3195 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3197 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3198 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3199 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3202 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3203 !! for this developer release to work !!
3205 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3206 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3207 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3208 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3209 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3210 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3211 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3212 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3213 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3214 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3215 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3217 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3218 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3219 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3220 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3223 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3224 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3225 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3226 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3227 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3229 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3231 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3232 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3235 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3236 called unless they actually need to be.
3237 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3238 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3239 DEMOLISH method present.
3241 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3242 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3243 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3244 type constraint, which allows for a
3245 hand optimized version of the type
3246 constraint to be used when possible.
3247 - Any internally created type constraints
3248 now provide an optimized version as well.
3250 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3252 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3253 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3254 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3256 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3257 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3258 your class namespace of these exported
3261 * Moose::Meta::Class
3262 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3263 comes up during global destruction
3265 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3269 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3273 - changed how we do type checks so that
3274 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3277 - moved accessor generation methods to
3278 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3279 conform to the API changes from
3282 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3283 - changed how constraints are compiled
3284 so that we do less recursion and more
3285 iteration. This makes the type check
3287 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3290 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3291 - created this from methods formerly found in
3292 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3294 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3295 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3297 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3298 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3300 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3301 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3303 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3306 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3307 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3308 - added tests for this
3309 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3310 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3311 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3312 - removed tests for this
3314 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3316 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3317 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3318 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3321 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3322 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3323 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3325 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3326 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3327 comments for more info.
3330 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3331 asked questions and common problems
3333 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3334 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3335 - added tests for this
3337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3338 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3339 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3340 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3342 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3343 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3346 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3347 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3348 is much appreciated :)
3349 - added tests for this
3351 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3352 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3353 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3356 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3357 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3359 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3361 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3362 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3366 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3367 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3368 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3370 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3372 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3375 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3376 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3377 keywords because we need to localize them.
3378 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3380 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3381 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3382 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3385 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3388 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3389 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3390 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3393 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3394 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3395 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3397 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3399 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3400 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3401 bottom of your class file.
3404 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3407 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3409 - improved error message when loading modules so
3410 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3411 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3412 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3415 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3416 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3417 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3419 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3420 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3422 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3423 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3424 turn them on for you.
3425 - added tests for this
3426 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3427 in Moose::Meta::Class

3454 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3455 - This release works in combination with
3456 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3457 release because it uses the a new
3458 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3459 complete Role implementation. It has
3460 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3461 the the previous CPAN version. This
3462 release also lacks good updated docs,
3463 the official release will have updated docs.
3466 - refactored the keyword exports
3467 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3468 accepts more than one Role at a time
3469 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3470 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3473 - refactored the keyword exports
3474 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3475 accepts more than one Role at a time
3477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3478 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3479 string enumerations which can be used as
3481 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3484 - more careful checking of params to new()
3487 - much work done on the role composition
3488 - many new tests for conflict detection
3489 and composition edge cases
3490 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3491 looking at the tests
3493 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3494 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3495 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3497 * Moose::Meta::Class
3498 - some small changes to support the new
3500 - some small additions to support Roles
3502 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3503 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3505 - some small changes to support the new
3507 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3508 with the 'handles' option
3509 - added several tests for this
3510 - no docs for this yet
3512 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3514 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3515 thanks to chansen for this commit
3516 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3517 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3518 on a per-attribute basis
3519 - added tests for this
3520 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3521 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3522 experimental feature and probably not finished
3523 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3524 more details, or ask about it on #moose
