1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
6 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
7 non-lvalue-based meta instances.
8 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
9 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect the new
10 layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All work now should
11 be done in topic branches and reviewed by a core committer before
12 being applied to master. All releases are done by a cabal member and
13 merged from master to stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame
16 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
17 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
18 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
21 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
22 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
24 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
25 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
26 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
29 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
30 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
31 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
32 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
33 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
34 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
36 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
38 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
41 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
42 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
43 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
45 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
46 associated_methods. (hdp)
47 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
48 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
49 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
52 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
53 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
54 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
55 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
57 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
58 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
59 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
61 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
64 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
65 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
66 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
69 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
70 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
72 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
74 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
75 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
77 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
78 * Moose::Manual::Types
79 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
80 string parsing rathole (mst)
82 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
83 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
84 using plain objects instead
87 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
92 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
93 three times today (perigrin)
94 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
95 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
97 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
98 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
99 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
100 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
103 - A role's required methods are now represented by
104 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
105 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
106 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
107 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
108 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
111 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
112 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
113 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
114 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
117 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
119 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
122 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
124 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
127 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
128 during global destruction. This method has been made more
129 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
133 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
134 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
137 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
138 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
140 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
141 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
142 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
145 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
147 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
148 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
151 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
155 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
156 methods during global destruction (doy)
159 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
160 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
164 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
165 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
168 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
169 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
172 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
173 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
175 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
177 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
181 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
182 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
183 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
186 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
187 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
188 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
191 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
193 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
194 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
195 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
198 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
199 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
200 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
201 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
203 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
204 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
205 of the Moose core (Sartak)
208 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
211 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
212 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
213 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
217 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
218 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
221 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
223 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
226 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
227 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
230 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
231 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
234 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
235 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
238 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
241 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
244 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
248 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
250 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
251 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
254 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
255 * More deprecations and renamings
256 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
257 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
258 when an object is constructed)
261 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
262 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
263 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
266 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
267 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
268 feature, and it works again.
271 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
273 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
275 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
276 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
277 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
279 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
280 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
281 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
282 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
283 message. Test provided by perigrin.
285 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
286 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
287 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
288 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
289 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
292 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
293 metaclass object. (hdp)
295 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
296 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
297 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
298 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
299 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
300 point out this fact. (hdp)
302 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
303 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
305 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
306 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
309 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
310 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
311 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
312 called during instance construction were passed the
313 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
314 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
316 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
317 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
320 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
321 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
322 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
325 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
326 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
327 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
328 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
329 them, but they are not for "public" use.
332 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
334 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
335 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
336 when an object is constructed)
337 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
339 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
340 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
341 when an object is constructed)
342 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
343 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
344 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
347 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
349 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
350 * No changes from 0.72_01.
352 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
354 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
355 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
356 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
358 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
359 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
360 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
362 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
364 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
365 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
367 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
368 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
371 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
372 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
375 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
376 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
377 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
380 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
384 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
385 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
386 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
388 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
389 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
392 * Moose::Manual::Delta
393 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
394 with recommended workarounds.
396 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
397 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
399 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
400 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
401 (yes, spelled like that).
403 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
404 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
407 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
408 changes in latest Class::MOP.
410 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
413 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
414 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
415 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
416 instead. Reported by doy.
418 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
420 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
421 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
423 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
424 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
425 message) is now deprecated.
426 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
427 often got it wrong. For example:
429 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
431 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
435 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
436 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
437 bite you in weird cases.
439 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
440 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
441 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
444 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
445 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
449 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
452 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
453 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
456 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
457 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
459 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
460 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
463 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
464 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
465 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
466 - added tests for this (stevan)
468 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
469 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
470 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
471 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
475 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
476 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
477 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
478 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
480 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
481 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
482 - added tests for this (rafl)
484 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
485 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
486 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
487 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
491 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
492 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
495 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
496 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
497 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
499 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
501 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
502 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
505 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
506 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
507 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
508 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
510 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
511 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
512 error message did not specify the attribute name
515 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
517 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
519 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
520 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
521 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
523 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
524 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
527 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
529 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
530 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
531 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
532 of fixes and formatting improvements.
534 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
536 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
537 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
538 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
539 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
541 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
542 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
543 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
545 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
546 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
547 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
548 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
549 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
551 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
552 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
553 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
554 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
555 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
557 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
558 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
559 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
560 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
561 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
562 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
564 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
565 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
566 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
567 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
568 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
569 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
571 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
572 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
574 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
575 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
576 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
577 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
579 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
580 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
583 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
587 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
588 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
590 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
591 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
592 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
595 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
596 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
597 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
599 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
600 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
601 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
602 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
605 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
608 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
609 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
611 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
613 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
616 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
617 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
618 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
619 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
620 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
621 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
624 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
625 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
626 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
627 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
628 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
629 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
630 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
631 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
632 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
634 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
636 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
637 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
639 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
640 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
641 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
642 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
644 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
645 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
646 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
647 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
648 same methods for a single role did not work
649 right (worked just fine with multiple
651 - added test for this (stevan)
653 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
654 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
655 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
658 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
659 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
660 - added test for this (t0m)
663 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
664 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
665 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
667 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
668 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
669 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
670 - added test for this (t0m)
672 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
673 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
674 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
675 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
676 - added test for this (perigrin)
679 - create method for constructing a role
681 - added test for this (Sartak)
682 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
683 - added test for this (Sartak)
686 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
688 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
689 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
690 methods is useful (Sartak)
692 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
693 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
694 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
698 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
699 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
700 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
701 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
702 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
703 - added tests for this (jdv79)
706 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
707 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
709 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
710 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
711 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
712 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
713 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
715 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
717 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
718 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
719 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
722 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
723 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
724 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
725 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
726 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
727 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
730 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
731 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
732 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
733 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
734 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
735 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
736 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
737 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
738 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
739 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
740 future. (jnapiorkowski)
742 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
743 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
746 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
747 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
748 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
749 type. (jnapiorkowski)
750 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
752 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
754 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
755 predicate, and link to more details sections in
756 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
758 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
759 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
761 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
762 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
763 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
764 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
767 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
768 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
770 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
772 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
773 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
776 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
777 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
780 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
781 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
782 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
783 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
785 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
786 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
789 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
790 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
791 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
792 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
793 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
794 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
795 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
797 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
798 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
799 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
801 * Roles and role application
802 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
803 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
804 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
805 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
806 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
808 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
809 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
812 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
813 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
814 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
815 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
816 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
819 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
820 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
821 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
822 changes in the Moose internals.
824 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
825 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
826 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
829 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
830 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
831 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
832 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
834 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
835 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
836 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
837 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
839 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
840 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
841 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
842 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
843 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
844 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
845 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
846 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
847 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
848 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
849 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
850 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
851 constraint implementations.
853 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
857 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
858 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
859 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
860 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
861 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
862 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
863 - added tests for this (rafl)
866 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
867 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
868 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
869 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
870 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
871 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
872 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
873 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
876 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
877 - added tests for this (thepler)
879 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
880 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
881 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
882 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
886 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
887 * Moose::Meta::Method
890 * Moose::Error::Default
891 * Moose::Error::Croak
892 * Moose::Error::Confess
893 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
894 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
895 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
896 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
897 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
898 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
900 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
902 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
903 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
906 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
907 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
908 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
910 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
911 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
912 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
913 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
914 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
917 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
918 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
920 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
921 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
922 several major changes in this release of Moose.
923 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
926 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
928 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
929 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
931 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
936 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
937 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
939 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
941 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
942 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
943 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
944 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
945 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
946 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
948 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
949 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
950 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
952 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
953 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
954 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
957 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
958 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
959 dependency to 0.64_07.
961 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
962 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
963 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
965 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
966 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
969 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
970 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
971 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
972 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
973 coincidental exception. (t0m).
974 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
976 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
977 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
979 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
981 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
982 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
986 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
987 method when that method was provided by another role being
988 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
989 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
991 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
993 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
994 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
996 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
997 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
998 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
999 - added test for this (t0m)
1001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1002 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1003 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1005 - added test for this (t0m)
1008 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1009 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1010 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1013 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1014 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1016 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1018 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1019 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1021 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1022 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1023 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1025 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1026 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1029 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1030 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1031 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1032 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1036 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1037 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1038 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1041 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1042 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1043 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1044 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1047 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1051 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1052 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1053 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1055 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1056 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1057 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1058 created so that the process can be more easily
1059 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1061 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1062 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1063 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1064 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1066 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1067 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1070 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1071 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1073 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1074 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1075 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1077 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1078 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1079 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1081 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1082 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1084 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1085 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1088 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1089 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1093 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1094 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1096 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1097 ... this is not my day today ...
1099 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1100 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1101 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1102 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1103 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1106 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1107 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1108 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1109 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1110 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1113 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1115 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1116 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1117 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1118 this is not ever something you want to do
1119 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1120 - added tests for this (stevan)
1123 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1125 - added test for this
1127 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1128 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1129 - added tests for this (wreis)
1131 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1132 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1133 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1134 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1136 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1137 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1138 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1141 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1143 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1145 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1148 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1149 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1150 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1151 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1152 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1153 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1154 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1155 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1156 - added tests for this
1158 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1159 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1160 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1161 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1163 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1166 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1167 - added tests for this (sartak)
1168 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1169 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1172 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1174 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1175 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1177 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1178 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1179 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1180 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1182 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1184 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1185 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1188 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1189 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1190 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1193 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1194 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1196 - added docs for this (TODO).
1197 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1198 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1199 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1200 - fix builder and default both being used
1205 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1207 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1208 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1209 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1213 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1217 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1218 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1219 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1221 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1222 - move the ClassName type check code to
1223 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1225 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1226 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1228 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1229 (early morning release engineering)--
1231 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1232 which was causing the indexer to choke
1234 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1235 (late night release engineering)--
1237 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1238 changes in this release
1240 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1241 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1242 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1244 * Moose::Meta::Class
1245 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1246 since it is called so often by &meta
1248 * Moose::Meta::Class
1250 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1251 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1255 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1256 method for immutablization to check if the
1257 destructor object even needs to be created
1260 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1261 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1262 - added more descriptive error message to help
1263 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1264 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1266 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1268 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1269 XS based functionality is now optional
1270 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1271 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1272 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1274 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1275 to take care of this, mostly we added
1276 support for the package_name and name
1277 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1278 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1279 support regexp matching of names
1280 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1281 - tests added for this
1282 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1283 is currently not supported in roles,
1284 but, ... patches welcome
1285 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1286 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1287 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1290 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1291 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1292 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1293 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1294 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1295 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1296 - added test for this
1298 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1299 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1300 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1303 * Moose::Meta::Class
1304 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1308 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1310 - added tests for this
1311 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1312 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1314 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1315 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1316 themselves parameterizable types
1318 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1319 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1320 called by the inlined immutable
1322 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1324 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1325 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1326 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1327 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1329 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1330 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1334 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1335 causing occasional cpantester failures
1336 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1337 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1339 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1341 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1342 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1345 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1346 ->body when looping through the
1347 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1349 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1350 eating the $@ values, and so not
1351 working correctly, it still kind of
1352 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1353 - added tests for this
1355 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1356 - added new recipe for immutable
1357 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1359 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1360 - added new recipe for builder and
1361 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1363 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1364 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1365 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1368 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1370 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1371 since Module::Install has done that.
1373 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1375 drink more coffee before
1376 doing release engineering
1378 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1379 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1380 modules. This fixes that.
1382 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1383 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1384 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1386 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1387 since we have tests which need the C3
1390 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1391 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1393 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1394 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1396 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1397 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1398 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1399 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1405 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1406 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
1408 * Moose::Meta::Class

1493 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1495 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1786 - added tests for this
1789 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1790 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1829 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1832 - fixed how required methods are handled
1833 when they encounter overriden or modified
1834 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1835 - added tests for this
1837 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1838 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1839 the | always creates a union and so is
1840 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

1845 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1848 * Parameterized Types
1849 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1850 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1851 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1852 They can also be nested:
1853 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1854 And work with the type unions as well:
1855 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1857 * Better Framework Extendability
1858 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1859 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1860 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1861 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1864 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1865 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1866 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1867 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2075 so this release is just to fix that.
2078 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2079 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2080 (thanks to konobi for this)
2081 - added tests and docs
2083 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2084 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2086 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2087 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2088 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2089 - added tests for this
2090 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2091 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2092 functions to facilitate introspection.
2094 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2095 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2096 to build the list of delegated methods
2097 correctly (and not override important
2098 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2100 - added tests and docs for this
2101 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2102 so that you can actually document your
2103 attributes and inspect them through the
2105 - added tests and docs for this
2107 * Moose::Meta::Class
2108 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2109 it will first look in for the class in the
2110 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2111 then default to just loading $name.
2112 - added tests and docs for this
2114 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2115 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2116 - added test for this
2119 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2120 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2121 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2122 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2124 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2125 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2128 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2130 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2131 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2132 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2135 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2136 !! for this developer release to work !!
2138 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2139 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2140 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2141 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2142 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2143 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2144 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2145 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2146 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2147 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2148 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2150 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2151 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2152 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2153 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2156 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2158 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2159 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2160 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2162 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2164 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2165 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2168 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2169 called unless they actually need to be.
2170 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2171 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2172 DEMOLISH method present.
2174 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2175 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2176 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2177 type constraint, which allows for a
2178 hand optimized version of the type
2179 constraint to be used when possible.
2180 - Any internally created type constraints
2181 now provide an optimized version as well.
2183 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2185 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2186 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2187 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2190 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2191 your class namespace of these exported
2194 * Moose::Meta::Class
2195 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2196 comes up during global destruction
2198 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2202 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2206 - changed how we do type checks so that
2207 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2210 - moved accessor generation methods to
2211 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2212 conform to the API changes from
2215 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2216 - changed how constraints are compiled
2217 so that we do less recursion and more
2218 iteration. This makes the type check
2220 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2223 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2224 - created this from methods formerly found in
2225 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2227 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2228 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2230 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2231 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2233 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2234 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2236 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2239 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2240 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2241 - added tests for this
2242 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2243 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2244 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2245 - removed tests for this
2247 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2249 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2250 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2251 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2254 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2255 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2256 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2258 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2259 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2260 comments for more info.
2263 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2264 asked questions and common problems
2266 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2267 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2268 - added tests for this
2270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2271 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2272 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2273 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2275 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2276 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2279 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2280 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2281 is much appreciated :)
2282 - added tests for this
2284 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2285 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2286 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2289 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2290 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2292 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2294 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2295 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2299 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2300 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2301 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2303 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2305 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2308 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2309 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2310 keywords because we need to localize them.
2311 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2313 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2314 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2315 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2318 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2321 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2322 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2323 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2326 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2327 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2328 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2330 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2332 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2333 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2334 bottom of your class file.
2337 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2340 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2342 - improved error message when loading modules so
2343 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2344 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2345 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2348 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2349 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2350 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2352 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2353 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2355 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2356 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2357 turn them on for you.
2358 - added tests for this

2387 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2388 - This release works in combination with
2389 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2390 release because it uses the a new
2391 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2392 complete Role implementation. It has
2393 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2394 the the previous CPAN version. This
2395 release also lacks good updated docs,
2396 the official release will have updated docs.
2399 - refactored the keyword exports
2400 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2401 accepts more than one Role at a time

2407 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2408 accepts more than one Role at a time
2410 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2412 string enumerations which can be used as
2414 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2417 - more careful checking of params to new()
2420 - much work done on the role composition
2421 - many new tests for conflict detection
2422 and composition edge cases
2423 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2424 looking at the tests
2426 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2427 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2428 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2430 * Moose::Meta::Class
2431 - some small changes to support the new
2433 - some small additions to support Roles
2435 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2436 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2438 - some small changes to support the new
2440 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2441 with the 'handles' option
2442 - added several tests for this
2443 - no docs for this yet
2445 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2447 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2448 thanks to chansen for this commit
2449 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2450 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2451 on a per-attribute basis
2452 - added tests for this
2453 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2454 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2455 experimental feature and probably not finished

2457 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2458 - added tests for this
