1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
9 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
10 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
14 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
15 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
16 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
20 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
21 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
25 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
29 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
30 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
31 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
33 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
37 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
38 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
42 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
43 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
44 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
46 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
47 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
48 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
50 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
54 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
56 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
60 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
62 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
63 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
68 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
69 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
71 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
72 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
73 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
74 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
77 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
78 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
79 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
80 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
82 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
86 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
87 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
92 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
94 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
96 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
101 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
103 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
107 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
108 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
109 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
111 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
112 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
113 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
114 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
116 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
117 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
118 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
119 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
120 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
123 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
128 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
129 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
130 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
131 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
132 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
135 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
139 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
142 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
143 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
147 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
148 function (not just method). (doy)
152 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
153 and aren't easily installable/testable.
155 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
159 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
160 to be overridden more easily (doy).
162 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
166 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
167 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
169 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
173 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
174 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
175 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
177 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
181 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
182 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
183 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
185 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
186 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
190 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
191 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
193 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
194 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
198 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
199 is applied to a class (t0m).
201 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
202 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
204 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
207 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
208 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
210 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
211 be much more robust. (doy)
213 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
215 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
218 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
222 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
223 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
225 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
229 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
230 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
232 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
235 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
236 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
237 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
239 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
240 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
241 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
244 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
246 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
250 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
251 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
255 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
257 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
262 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
266 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
267 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
271 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
273 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
277 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
278 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
282 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
283 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
287 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
288 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
290 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
294 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
295 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
296 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
299 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
303 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
304 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
305 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
306 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
308 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
312 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
313 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
314 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
318 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
321 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
325 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
326 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
327 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
331 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
332 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
334 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
335 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
336 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
337 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
339 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
343 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
347 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
348 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
350 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
351 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
352 - Moose::Util::does_role
353 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
354 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
355 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
357 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
361 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
362 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
363 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
366 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
370 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
371 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
374 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
378 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
379 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
382 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
386 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
388 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
389 class. (Dave Rolsky).
391 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
392 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
393 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
395 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
396 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
397 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
400 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
401 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
403 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
404 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
405 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
407 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
409 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
410 substr et al, again. (sorear)
412 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
414 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
417 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
418 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
420 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
421 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
423 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
424 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
425 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
426 dependencies installed.
428 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
429 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
432 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
434 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
438 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
441 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
442 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
444 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
445 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
446 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
448 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
449 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
452 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
453 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
454 others. (nothingmuch)
456 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
457 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
458 remove_accessors. (doy)
460 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
461 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
462 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
464 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
465 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
467 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
468 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
469 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
470 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
473 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
474 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
476 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
477 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
479 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
481 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
482 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
485 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
486 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
487 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
488 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
489 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
491 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
492 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
493 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
494 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
495 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
496 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
497 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
500 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
501 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
502 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
503 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
504 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
506 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
507 which were not receiving the value of
508 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
509 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
510 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
511 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
515 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
516 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
517 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
518 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
519 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
522 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
523 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
524 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
525 - added tests for this (Stevan)
528 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
529 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
530 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
533 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
534 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
535 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
537 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
538 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
539 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
542 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
543 class if you pass it options for
544 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
545 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
546 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
547 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
548 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
549 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
550 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
551 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
552 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
554 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
555 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
556 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
557 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
558 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
561 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
562 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
563 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
564 existing delegation API. (hdp)
566 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
567 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
568 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
569 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
570 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
571 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
574 * Moose::Error::Croak
575 * Moose::Error::Confess
576 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
577 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
580 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
583 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
584 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
585 installing a broken sub. (doy)
588 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
591 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
592 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
593 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
595 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
596 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
597 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
598 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
599 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
601 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
602 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
605 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
607 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
608 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
611 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
612 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
614 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
615 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
616 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
617 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
619 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
620 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
621 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
622 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
623 using it for new code!
625 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
626 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
627 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
628 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
630 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
631 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
632 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
633 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
634 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
635 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
636 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
637 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
640 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
643 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
644 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
648 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
651 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
652 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
655 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
656 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
657 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
660 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
661 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
663 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
664 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
665 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
668 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
669 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
670 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
671 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
672 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
673 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
675 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
677 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
680 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
681 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
682 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
684 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
685 associated_methods. (hdp)
686 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
687 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
688 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
689 misspelled) arguments
691 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
692 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
693 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
694 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
696 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
697 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
698 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
700 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
703 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
704 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
705 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
708 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
709 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
711 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
713 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
714 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
716 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
717 * Moose::Manual::Types
718 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
719 string parsing rathole (mst)
721 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
722 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
723 using plain objects instead
725 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
726 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
729 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
731 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
732 three times today (perigrin)
733 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
734 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
736 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
737 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
738 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
739 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
742 - A role's required methods are now represented by
743 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
744 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
745 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
746 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
747 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
750 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
751 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
752 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
753 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
756 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
758 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
761 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
763 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
766 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
767 during global destruction. This method has been made more
768 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
772 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
773 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
776 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
777 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
779 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
780 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
781 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
784 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
786 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
787 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
790 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
794 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
795 methods during global destruction (doy)
798 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
799 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
803 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
804 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
807 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
808 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
811 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
812 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
814 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
816 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
820 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
821 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
822 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
825 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
826 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
827 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
830 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
832 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
833 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
834 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
837 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
838 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
839 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
840 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
842 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
843 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
844 of the Moose core (Sartak)
847 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
850 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
851 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
852 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
856 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
857 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
860 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
862 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
865 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
866 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
869 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
870 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
873 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
874 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
877 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
880 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
882 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
883 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
887 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
889 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
890 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
893 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
894 * More deprecations and renamings
895 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
896 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
897 when an object is constructed)
900 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
901 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
902 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
904 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
905 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
906 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
907 feature, and it works again.
910 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
912 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
914 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
915 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
916 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
918 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
919 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
920 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
921 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
922 message. Test provided by perigrin.
924 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
925 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
926 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
927 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
928 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
931 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
932 metaclass object. (hdp)
934 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
935 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
936 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
937 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
938 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
939 point out this fact. (hdp)
941 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
942 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
944 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
945 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
948 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
949 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
950 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
951 called during instance construction were passed the
952 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
953 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
955 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
956 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
959 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
960 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
961 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
964 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
965 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
966 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
967 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
968 them, but they are not for "public" use.
971 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
973 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
974 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
975 when an object is constructed)
976 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
978 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
979 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
980 when an object is constructed)
981 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
982 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
983 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
986 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
988 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
989 * No changes from 0.72_01.
991 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
993 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
994 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
995 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
997 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
998 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
999 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1001 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1003 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1004 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1006 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1007 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1010 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1011 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1014 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1015 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1016 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1019 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1023 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1024 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1025 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1027 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1028 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1031 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1032 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1033 with recommended workarounds.
1035 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1036 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1038 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1039 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1040 (yes, spelled like that).
1042 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1043 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1045 * Moose::Meta::Class
1046 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1047 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1049 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1051 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1052 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1053 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1054 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1055 instead. Reported by doy.
1057 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1059 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1060 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1062 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1063 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1064 message) is now deprecated.
1065 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1066 often got it wrong. For example:
1068 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1070 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1074 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1075 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1076 bite you in weird cases.
1078 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1079 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1080 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1081 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1083 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1084 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1088 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1091 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1092 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1095 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1096 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1098 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1099 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1102 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1103 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1104 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1105 - added tests for this (stevan)
1107 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1108 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1109 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1110 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1114 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1115 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1116 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1117 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1119 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1120 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1121 - added tests for this (rafl)
1123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1124 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1125 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1126 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1130 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1131 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1134 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1135 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1136 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1138 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1140 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1141 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1143 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1144 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1145 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1146 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1147 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1149 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1150 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1151 error message did not specify the attribute name
1154 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1156 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1158 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1159 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1160 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1162 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1163 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1166 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1168 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1169 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1170 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1171 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1173 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1175 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1176 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1177 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1178 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1180 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1181 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1182 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1184 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1185 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1186 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1187 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1188 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1191 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1192 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1193 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1194 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1197 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1198 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1199 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1200 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1201 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1203 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1204 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1205 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1206 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1207 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1208 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1210 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1211 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1213 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1214 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1215 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1216 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1218 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1219 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1222 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1226 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1227 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1229 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1230 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1231 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1232 guts. (nothingmuch).
1234 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1235 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1236 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1239 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1240 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1241 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1243 * Moose::Meta::Class
1244 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1247 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1248 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1250 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1251 * Moose::Unsweetened
1252 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1255 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1256 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1257 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1258 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1259 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1260 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1262 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1263 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1264 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1265 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1266 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1267 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1268 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1269 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1270 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1271 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1273 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1275 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1276 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1278 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1279 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1280 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1281 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1283 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1284 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1285 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1286 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1287 same methods for a single role did not work
1288 right (worked just fine with multiple
1290 - added test for this (stevan)
1292 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1293 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1294 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1297 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1298 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1299 - added test for this (t0m)
1302 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1303 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1304 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1306 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1307 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1308 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1309 - added test for this (t0m)
1311 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1312 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1313 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1314 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1315 - added test for this (perigrin)
1318 - create method for constructing a role
1319 dynamically (Sartak)
1320 - added test for this (Sartak)
1321 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1322 - added test for this (Sartak)
1325 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1327 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1328 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1329 methods is useful (Sartak)
1331 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1332 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1333 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1336 * Moose::Meta::Class
1337 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1338 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1339 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1340 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1341 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1342 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1345 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1346 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1348 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1349 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1350 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1351 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1352 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1354 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1356 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1357 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1358 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1361 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1362 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1363 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1364 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1365 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1366 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1369 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1370 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1371 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1372 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1373 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1374 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1375 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1376 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1377 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1378 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1379 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1381 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1382 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1385 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1386 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1387 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1388 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1389 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1391 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1393 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1394 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1395 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1397 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1398 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1400 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1401 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1402 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1403 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1406 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1407 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1409 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1411 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1412 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1414 * Moose::Meta::Class
1415 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1416 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1417 a required attribute
1419 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1420 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1421 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1422 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1424 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1425 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1427 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1428 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1429 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1430 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1431 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1432 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1433 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1434 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1436 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1437 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1438 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1440 * Roles and role application
1441 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1442 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1443 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1444 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1445 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1447 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1448 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1451 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1452 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1453 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1454 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1455 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1458 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1459 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1460 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1461 changes in the Moose internals.
1463 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1464 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1465 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1468 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1469 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1470 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1471 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1473 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1474 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1475 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1476 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1478 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1479 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1480 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1481 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1482 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1483 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1484 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1485 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1486 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1487 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1488 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1489 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1490 constraint implementations.
1492 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1496 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1497 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1498 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1499 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1500 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1501 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1502 - added tests for this (rafl)
1504 * Moose::Meta::Class
1505 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1506 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1507 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1508 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1509 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1510 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1511 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1512 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1515 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1516 - added tests for this (thepler)
1518 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1519 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1520 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1521 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1524 * Moose::Meta::Class
1525 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1526 * Moose::Meta::Method
1529 * Moose::Error::Default
1530 * Moose::Error::Croak
1531 * Moose::Error::Confess
1532 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1533 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1534 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1535 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1536 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1537 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1539 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1541 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1542 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1544 * Moose::Unsweetened
1545 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1546 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1547 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1549 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1550 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1551 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1552 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1553 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1556 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1557 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1559 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1560 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1561 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1562 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1565 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1567 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1568 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1570 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1573 - Various bug fixes.
1575 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1576 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1578 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1580 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1581 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1582 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1583 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1584 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1585 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1587 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1588 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1589 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1591 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1592 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1593 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1596 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1597 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1598 dependency to 0.64_07.
1600 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1601 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1602 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1605 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1608 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1609 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1610 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1611 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1612 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1613 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1615 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1616 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1618 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1620 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1621 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1625 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1626 method when that method was provided by another role being
1627 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1628 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1630 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1632 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1633 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1635 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1636 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1637 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1638 - added test for this (t0m)
1640 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1641 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1642 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1644 - added test for this (t0m)
1647 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1648 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1649 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1652 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1653 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1655 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1657 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1658 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1660 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1661 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1662 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1664 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1665 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1668 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1669 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1670 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1671 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1675 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1676 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1677 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1680 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1681 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1682 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1683 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1686 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1690 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1691 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1692 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1694 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1695 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1696 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1697 created so that the process can be more easily
1698 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

1705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1706 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1709 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1710 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1712 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1713 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1714 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1716 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1717 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1718 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1720 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1721 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1723 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1724 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1727 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1728 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1732 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1733 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1735 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1736 ... this is not my day today ...
1738 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1739 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1740 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1741 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1742 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1745 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1746 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1747 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1748 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1749 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1752 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1754 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1755 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1756 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1757 this is not ever something you want to do
1758 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1759 - added tests for this (stevan)
1762 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1764 - added test for this
1766 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1767 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1768 - added tests for this (wreis)
1770 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1771 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1772 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1773 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1775 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1776 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1777 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1780 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1782 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1784 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1787 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1788 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1789 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1790 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1791 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1792 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1793 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1794 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1795 - added tests for this
1797 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1798 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1799 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1800 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1802 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1804 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1805 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

1818 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1819 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1821 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1823 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1824 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

1857 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1858 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1860 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1861 - move the ClassName type check code to
1862 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1864 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1865 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1867 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1868 (early morning release engineering)--
1870 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1871 which was causing the indexer to choke
1873 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1874 (late night release engineering)--
1876 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1877 changes in this release
1879 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1880 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1881 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1883 * Moose::Meta::Class
1884 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1885 since it is called so often by &meta
1887 * Moose::Meta::Class
1889 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1890 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1893 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1894 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1895 method for immutablization to check if the
1896 destructor object even needs to be created
1899 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1900 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1901 - added more descriptive error message to help
1902 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1903 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1905 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1907 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1908 XS based functionality is now optional
1909 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1910 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1911 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1913 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1914 to take care of this, mostly we added
1915 support for the package_name and name
1916 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1917 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1918 support regexp matching of names
1919 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1920 - tests added for this
1921 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1922 is currently not supported in roles,
1923 but, ... patches welcome
1924 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1925 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1926 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1929 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1930 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1931 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1932 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1933 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1934 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1935 - added test for this
1937 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1938 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1939 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1942 * Moose::Meta::Class
1943 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1947 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1949 - added tests for this
1950 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1951 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1953 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1954 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1955 themselves parameterizable types
1957 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1958 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1959 called by the inlined immutable
1961 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1963 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1964 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1965 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1966 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1968 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1969 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1973 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1974 causing occasional cpantester failures

1980 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1981 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1984 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1985 ->body when looping through the
1986 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1988 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1989 eating the $@ values, and so not
1990 working correctly, it still kind of
1991 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1992 - added tests for this
1994 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1995 - added new recipe for immutable
1996 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1998 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1999 - added new recipe for builder and
2000 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2002 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2003 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2004 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2007 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2009 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2010 since Module::Install has done that.
2012 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2014 drink more coffee before
2015 doing release engineering
2017 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2018 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2019 modules. This fixes that.
2021 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2022 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2023 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2025 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2026 since we have tests which need the C3
2029 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2030 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2032 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2033 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2035 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2036 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2037 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2038 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2044 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2045 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2047 * Moose::Meta::Class
2048 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2049 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2051 - added test for this
2053 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2054 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2055 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2056 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
2057 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
2058 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
2060 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2061 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
2063 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2064 Moose::Meta::Method::Augmented

2068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2069 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
2070 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
2071 - added tests for this (Sartak)
2072 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
2073 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error

2132 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2134 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2135 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2178 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2179 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2425 - added tests for this
2428 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2429 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2468 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2471 - fixed how required methods are handled
2472 when they encounter overriden or modified
2473 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2474 - added tests for this
2476 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2478 the | always creates a union and so is
2479 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2480 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

2484 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2487 * Parameterized Types
2488 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2489 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2490 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2491 They can also be nested:
2492 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2493 And work with the type unions as well:
2494 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2496 * Better Framework Extendability
2497 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2498 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2499 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2500 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2503 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2504 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2505 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2506 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2747 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2748 it will first look in for the class in the
2749 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2750 then default to just loading $name.
2751 - added tests and docs for this
2753 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2754 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2755 - added test for this
2758 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2759 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2760 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2761 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2763 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2764 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2767 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2769 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2770 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2771 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2774 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2775 !! for this developer release to work !!
2777 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2778 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2779 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2780 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2781 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2782 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2783 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2784 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2785 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2786 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2787 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2789 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2790 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2791 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2792 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2795 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2796 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2797 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2798 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2799 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2801 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2803 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2804 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2807 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2808 called unless they actually need to be.
2809 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2810 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2811 DEMOLISH method present.
2813 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2814 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2815 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2816 type constraint, which allows for a
2817 hand optimized version of the type
2818 constraint to be used when possible.
2819 - Any internally created type constraints
2820 now provide an optimized version as well.
2822 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2824 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2825 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2826 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2828 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2829 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2830 your class namespace of these exported
2833 * Moose::Meta::Class
2834 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2835 comes up during global destruction
2837 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2841 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2845 - changed how we do type checks so that
2846 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2849 - moved accessor generation methods to
2850 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2851 conform to the API changes from
2854 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2855 - changed how constraints are compiled
2856 so that we do less recursion and more
2857 iteration. This makes the type check
2859 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2862 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2863 - created this from methods formerly found in
2864 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2866 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2867 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2869 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2870 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2872 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2873 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2875 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2878 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2879 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2880 - added tests for this
2881 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2882 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2883 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2884 - removed tests for this
2886 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2888 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2889 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2890 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2893 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2894 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2895 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2897 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2898 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2899 comments for more info.
2902 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2903 asked questions and common problems
2905 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2906 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2907 - added tests for this
2909 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2910 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2911 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2912 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2914 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2915 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2918 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2919 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2920 is much appreciated :)
2921 - added tests for this
2923 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2924 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2925 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2928 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2929 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2931 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2933 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2934 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2938 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2939 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2940 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2942 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2944 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2947 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2948 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2949 keywords because we need to localize them.
2950 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2952 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2953 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2954 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2957 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2960 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2961 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2962 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2965 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2966 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2967 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2969 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2971 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2972 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2973 bottom of your class file.
2976 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2979 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2981 - improved error message when loading modules so
2982 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2983 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2984 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2987 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2988 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2989 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2991 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2992 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2994 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2995 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2996 turn them on for you.
2997 - added tests for this
2998 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2999 in Moose::Meta::Class

3026 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3027 - This release works in combination with
3028 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3029 release because it uses the a new
3030 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3031 complete Role implementation. It has
3032 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3033 the the previous CPAN version. This
3034 release also lacks good updated docs,
3035 the official release will have updated docs.
3038 - refactored the keyword exports
3039 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3040 accepts more than one Role at a time
3041 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3042 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3045 - refactored the keyword exports
3046 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3047 accepts more than one Role at a time
3049 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3051 string enumerations which can be used as
3053 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3056 - more careful checking of params to new()
3059 - much work done on the role composition
3060 - many new tests for conflict detection
3061 and composition edge cases
3062 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3063 looking at the tests
3065 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3066 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3067 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3069 * Moose::Meta::Class

3072 - some small additions to support Roles
3074 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3075 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3077 - some small changes to support the new
3079 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3080 with the 'handles' option
3081 - added several tests for this
3082 - no docs for this yet

3086 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3087 thanks to chansen for this commit
3088 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3089 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3090 on a per-attribute basis
3091 - added tests for this
3092 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3093 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3094 experimental feature and probably not finished

3159 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3161 - added test for this
