1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Wrap inline_get_value results in parentheses when dereferencing them,
9 because perl goes crazy trying to parse @{do {...}}. (Scott, doy)
11 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
15 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
16 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
17 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
19 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
20 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
23 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
24 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
27 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
28 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
29 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
31 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
32 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
37 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
38 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
39 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
42 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
43 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
45 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
46 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
48 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
49 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
50 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
53 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
54 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
55 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
58 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
59 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
60 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
61 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
63 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
64 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
67 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
68 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
75 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
76 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
77 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
79 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
80 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
81 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
84 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
85 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
86 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
88 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
89 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
90 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
92 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
93 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
97 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
98 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
99 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
101 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
102 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
103 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
104 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
106 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
110 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
111 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
112 value is a reference.
114 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
115 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
117 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
121 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
122 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
123 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
125 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
129 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
130 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
134 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
135 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
136 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
138 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
139 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
140 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
142 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
146 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
148 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
152 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
154 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
155 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
160 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
161 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
163 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
164 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
165 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
166 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
167 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
169 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
170 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
171 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
172 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
174 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
178 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
179 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
184 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
186 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
188 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
193 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
195 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
199 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
200 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
201 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
203 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
204 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
205 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
206 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
208 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
209 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
210 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
211 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
212 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
215 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
220 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
221 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
222 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
223 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
224 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
227 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
231 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
234 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
235 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
239 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
240 function (not just method). (doy)
244 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
245 and aren't easily installable/testable.
247 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
251 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
252 to be overridden more easily (doy).
254 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
258 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
259 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
261 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
265 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
266 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
267 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
269 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
273 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
274 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
275 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
277 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
278 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
282 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
283 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
285 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
286 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
290 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
291 is applied to a class (t0m).
293 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
294 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
296 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
299 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
300 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
302 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
303 be much more robust. (doy)
305 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
307 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
310 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
314 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
315 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
317 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
321 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
322 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
324 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
327 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
328 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
329 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
331 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
332 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
333 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
336 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
338 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
342 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
343 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
347 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
349 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
354 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
358 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
359 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
363 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
365 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
369 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
370 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
374 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
375 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
379 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
380 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
382 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
386 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
387 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
388 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
391 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
395 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
396 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
397 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
398 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
400 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
404 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
405 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
406 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
410 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
413 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
417 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
418 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
419 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
423 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
424 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
426 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
427 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
428 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
429 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
431 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
435 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
439 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
440 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
442 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
443 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
444 - Moose::Util::does_role
445 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
446 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
447 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
449 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
453 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
454 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
455 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
458 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
462 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
463 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
466 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
470 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
471 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
474 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
478 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
480 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
481 class. (Dave Rolsky).
483 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
484 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
485 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
487 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
488 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
489 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
492 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
493 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
495 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
496 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
497 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
499 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
501 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
502 substr et al, again. (sorear)
504 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
506 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
509 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
510 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
512 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
513 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
515 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
516 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
517 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
518 dependencies installed.
520 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
521 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
524 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
526 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
530 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
532 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
533 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
534 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
536 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
537 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
538 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
540 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
541 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
544 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
545 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
546 others. (nothingmuch)
548 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
549 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
550 remove_accessors. (doy)
552 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
553 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
554 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
556 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
557 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
559 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
560 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
561 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
562 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
565 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
566 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
568 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
569 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
571 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
573 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
574 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
577 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
578 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
579 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
580 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
581 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
583 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
584 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
585 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
586 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
587 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
588 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
589 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
592 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
593 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
594 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
595 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
596 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
598 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
599 which were not receiving the value of
600 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
601 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
602 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
603 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
607 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
608 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
609 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
610 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
611 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
614 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
615 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
616 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
617 - added tests for this (Stevan)
620 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
621 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
622 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
625 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
626 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
627 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
629 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
630 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
631 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
634 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
635 class if you pass it options for
636 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
637 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
638 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
639 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
640 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
641 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
642 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
643 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
644 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
646 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
647 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
648 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
649 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
650 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
653 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
654 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
655 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
656 existing delegation API. (hdp)
658 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
659 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
660 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
661 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
662 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
663 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
666 * Moose::Error::Croak
667 * Moose::Error::Confess
668 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
669 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
672 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
675 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
676 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
677 installing a broken sub. (doy)
680 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
683 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
684 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
685 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
687 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
688 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
689 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
690 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
691 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
693 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
694 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
697 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
699 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
700 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
703 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
704 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
706 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
707 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
708 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
709 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
711 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
712 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
713 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
714 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
715 using it for new code!
717 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
718 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
719 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
720 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
722 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
723 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
724 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
725 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
726 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
727 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
728 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
729 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
732 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
735 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
736 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
739 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
740 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
742 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
743 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
744 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
747 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
748 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
749 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
752 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
753 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
755 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
756 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
757 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
760 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
761 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
762 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
763 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
764 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
765 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
767 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
769 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
772 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
773 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
774 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
776 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
777 associated_methods. (hdp)
778 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
779 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
780 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
781 misspelled) arguments
783 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
784 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
785 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
786 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
789 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
790 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
792 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
795 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
796 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
797 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
800 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
801 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
803 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
805 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
806 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
808 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
809 * Moose::Manual::Types
810 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
811 string parsing rathole (mst)
813 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
814 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
815 using plain objects instead
817 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
818 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
821 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
823 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
824 three times today (perigrin)
825 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
826 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
828 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
829 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
830 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
831 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
834 - A role's required methods are now represented by
835 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
836 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
837 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
838 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
839 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
842 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
843 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
844 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
845 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
848 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
850 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
853 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
855 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
858 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
859 during global destruction. This method has been made more
860 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
864 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
865 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
868 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
869 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
871 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
872 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
873 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
876 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
878 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
879 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
882 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
886 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
887 methods during global destruction (doy)
890 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
891 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
895 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
896 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
899 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
900 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
903 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
904 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
906 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
908 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
912 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
913 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
914 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
917 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
918 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
919 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
922 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
924 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
925 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
926 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
929 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
930 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
931 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
932 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
934 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
935 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
936 of the Moose core (Sartak)
939 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
942 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
943 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
944 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
948 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
949 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
952 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
954 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
957 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
958 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
961 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
962 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
965 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
966 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
969 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
972 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
974 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
975 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
979 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
981 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
982 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
985 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
986 * More deprecations and renamings
987 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
988 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
989 when an object is constructed)
992 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
993 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
994 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
996 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
997 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
998 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
999 feature, and it works again.
1002 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1004 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1006 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1007 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1008 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1010 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1011 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1012 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1013 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1014 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1016 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1017 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1018 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1019 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1020 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1023 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1024 metaclass object. (hdp)
1026 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1027 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1028 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1029 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1030 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1031 point out this fact. (hdp)
1033 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1034 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1036 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1037 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1039 * Moose::Meta::Class
1040 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1041 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1042 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1043 called during instance construction were passed the
1044 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1045 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1047 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1048 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1051 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1052 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1053 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1056 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1057 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1058 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1059 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1060 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1062 - Moose::Meta::Class
1063 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1065 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1066 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1067 when an object is constructed)
1068 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1070 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1071 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1072 when an object is constructed)
1073 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1074 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1075 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1078 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1080 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1081 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1083 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1085 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1086 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1087 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1089 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1090 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1091 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1093 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1095 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1096 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1098 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1099 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1102 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1103 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1106 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1107 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1108 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1110 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1111 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1115 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1116 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1117 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1120 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1123 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1124 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1125 with recommended workarounds.
1127 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1128 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1130 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1131 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1132 (yes, spelled like that).
1134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1135 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1137 * Moose::Meta::Class
1138 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1139 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1141 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1143 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1144 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1145 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1146 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1147 instead. Reported by doy.
1149 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1151 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1152 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1154 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1155 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1156 message) is now deprecated.
1157 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1158 often got it wrong. For example:
1160 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1162 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1166 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1167 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1168 bite you in weird cases.
1170 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1171 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1172 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1173 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1175 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1176 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1180 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1183 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1184 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1187 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1188 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1191 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1194 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1195 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1196 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1197 - added tests for this (stevan)
1199 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1200 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1201 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1202 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1206 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1207 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1208 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1209 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1211 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1212 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1213 - added tests for this (rafl)
1215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1216 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1217 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1218 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1222 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1223 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1226 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1227 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1228 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1230 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1232 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1233 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1235 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1236 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1237 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1238 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1239 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1241 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1242 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1243 error message did not specify the attribute name
1246 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1248 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1250 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1251 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1252 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1255 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1258 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1260 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1261 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1262 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1263 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1265 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1267 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1268 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1269 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1270 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1273 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1274 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1276 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1277 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1278 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1279 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1280 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1283 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1284 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1285 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1286 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1288 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1289 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1290 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1291 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1292 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1293 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1295 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1296 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1297 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1298 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1299 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1300 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1302 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1303 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1305 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1306 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1307 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1308 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1310 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1311 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1314 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1318 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1319 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1321 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1322 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1323 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1324 guts. (nothingmuch).
1326 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1328 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1330 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1331 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1332 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1333 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1335 * Moose::Meta::Class
1336 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1339 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1340 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1342 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1343 * Moose::Unsweetened
1344 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1347 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1348 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1349 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1350 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1351 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1352 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1354 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1355 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1356 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1357 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1358 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1359 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1360 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1361 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1362 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1363 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1365 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1367 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1368 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1370 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1371 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1372 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1373 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1375 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1376 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1377 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1378 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1379 same methods for a single role did not work
1380 right (worked just fine with multiple
1382 - added test for this (stevan)
1384 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1385 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1386 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1389 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1390 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1391 - added test for this (t0m)
1394 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1395 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1396 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1398 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1399 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1400 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1401 - added test for this (t0m)
1403 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1404 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1405 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1406 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1407 - added test for this (perigrin)
1410 - create method for constructing a role
1411 dynamically (Sartak)
1412 - added test for this (Sartak)
1413 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1414 - added test for this (Sartak)
1417 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1419 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1420 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1421 methods is useful (Sartak)
1423 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1424 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1425 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1428 * Moose::Meta::Class
1429 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1430 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1431 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1432 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1433 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1434 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1437 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1438 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1440 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1441 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1442 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1443 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1444 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1446 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1448 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1449 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1450 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1453 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1454 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1455 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1456 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1457 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1458 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1461 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1462 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1463 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1464 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1465 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1466 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1467 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1468 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1469 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1470 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1471 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1473 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1474 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1477 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1478 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1479 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1480 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1481 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1483 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1485 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1486 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1487 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1489 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1490 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1492 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1493 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1494 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1495 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1498 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1499 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1501 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1503 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1504 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1506 * Moose::Meta::Class
1507 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1508 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1509 a required attribute
1511 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1512 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1513 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1514 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1516 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1517 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1519 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1520 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1521 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1522 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1523 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1524 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1525 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1526 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1528 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1529 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1530 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1532 * Roles and role application
1533 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1534 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1535 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1536 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1537 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1539 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1540 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1543 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1544 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1545 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1546 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1547 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1550 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1551 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1552 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1553 changes in the Moose internals.
1555 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1556 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1557 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1560 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1561 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1562 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1563 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1565 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1566 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1567 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1568 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1570 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1571 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1572 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1573 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1574 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1575 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1576 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1577 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1578 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1579 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1580 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1581 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1582 constraint implementations.
1584 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1588 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1589 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1590 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1591 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1592 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1593 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1594 - added tests for this (rafl)
1596 * Moose::Meta::Class
1597 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1598 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1599 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1600 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1601 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1602 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1603 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1604 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1607 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1608 - added tests for this (thepler)
1610 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1611 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1612 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1613 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1616 * Moose::Meta::Class
1617 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1618 * Moose::Meta::Method
1621 * Moose::Error::Default
1622 * Moose::Error::Croak
1623 * Moose::Error::Confess
1624 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1625 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1626 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1627 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1628 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1629 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1631 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1633 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1634 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1636 * Moose::Unsweetened
1637 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1638 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1639 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1641 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1642 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1643 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1644 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1645 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1648 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1649 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1651 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1652 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1653 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1654 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1657 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1659 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1660 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1662 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1665 - Various bug fixes.
1667 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1668 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1670 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1672 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1673 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1674 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1675 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1676 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1677 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1679 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1680 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1681 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1683 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1684 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1685 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1688 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1689 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1690 dependency to 0.64_07.
1692 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1693 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1694 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1696 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1697 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1700 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1701 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1702 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1703 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1704 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1705 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1707 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1708 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1710 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1712 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1713 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1717 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1718 method when that method was provided by another role being
1719 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1720 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1722 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1724 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1725 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1727 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1728 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1729 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1730 - added test for this (t0m)
1732 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1733 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1734 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1736 - added test for this (t0m)
1739 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1740 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1741 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1744 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1745 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1747 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1749 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1750 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1752 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1753 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1754 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1756 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1757 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1760 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1761 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1762 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1763 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1767 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1768 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1769 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1772 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1773 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1774 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1775 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1778 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1782 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1783 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1784 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1786 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1787 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1788 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1789 created so that the process can be more easily
1790 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1792 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1793 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1794 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1795 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1798 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1801 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1802 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1804 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1805 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1806 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1808 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1809 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1810 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1812 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1813 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1815 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1816 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1819 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1820 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1824 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1825 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1827 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1828 ... this is not my day today ...
1830 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1831 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1832 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1833 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1834 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1837 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1838 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1839 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1840 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1841 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1844 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1846 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1847 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1848 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1849 this is not ever something you want to do
1850 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1851 - added tests for this (stevan)
1854 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1856 - added test for this
1858 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1859 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1860 - added tests for this (wreis)
1862 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1863 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1864 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1865 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1867 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1868 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1869 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1872 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1874 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1876 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1879 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1880 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1881 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1882 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1883 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1884 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1885 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1886 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1887 - added tests for this
1889 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1890 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1891 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1892 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1894 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1896 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1897 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1898 - added tests for this (sartak)
1899 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1900 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1903 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1905 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1906 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1908 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1909 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1910 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1911 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1913 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1915 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1916 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1919 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1923 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1924 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1925 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1927 - added docs for this (TODO).
1928 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1929 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1930 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1931 - fix builder and default both being used
1936 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1938 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1939 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1940 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1944 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1948 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1949 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1950 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1953 - move the ClassName type check code to
1954 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1956 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1957 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1959 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1960 (early morning release engineering)--
1962 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1963 which was causing the indexer to choke
1965 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1966 (late night release engineering)--
1968 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1969 changes in this release
1971 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1972 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1973 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1975 * Moose::Meta::Class
1976 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1977 since it is called so often by &meta
1979 * Moose::Meta::Class
1981 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1982 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1985 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1986 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1987 method for immutablization to check if the
1988 destructor object even needs to be created
1991 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1992 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1993 - added more descriptive error message to help
1994 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1995 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1997 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1999 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2000 XS based functionality is now optional
2001 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2002 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2003 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2005 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2006 to take care of this, mostly we added
2007 support for the package_name and name
2008 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2009 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2010 support regexp matching of names
2011 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2012 - tests added for this
2013 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2014 is currently not supported in roles,
2015 but, ... patches welcome
2016 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2017 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2018 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2021 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2022 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2023 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2024 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2025 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2026 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2027 - added test for this
2029 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2030 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2031 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2034 * Moose::Meta::Class
2035 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2039 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2041 - added tests for this
2042 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2043 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2045 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2046 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2047 themselves parameterizable types
2049 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2050 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2051 called by the inlined immutable
2053 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2055 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance

2224 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2226 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2227 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2270 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2271 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2564 when they encounter overriden or modified
2565 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2566 - added tests for this

2572 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2574 - added more tests for this
2576 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2579 * Parameterized Types
2580 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2581 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2582 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2583 They can also be nested:
2584 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2585 And work with the type unions as well:
2586 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2588 * Better Framework Extendability
2589 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2590 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2591 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2592 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2595 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2596 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2597 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2598 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2741 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2742 - adjusted tests for this
2744 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2745 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2746 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2748 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
2749 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
2750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2751 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2752 the other side (perigrin)
2754 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2755 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2756 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2757 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2758 prototypes for functions
2759 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2760 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2761 - added tests and docs for this
2762 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2763 default for where be { 1 }

2767 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2768 merlyn for finding this bug
2769 - tests added for this
2770 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2773 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2774 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2775 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2776 - added tests for this
2778 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2780 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2793 where not handled correctly in roles
2794 - added tests for this
2796 * Moose::Meta::Class
2797 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2798 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2799 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2801 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2802 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2804 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2805 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2806 so this release is just to fix that.
2809 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2810 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2811 (thanks to konobi for this)
2812 - added tests and docs
2814 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2822 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2823 functions to facilitate introspection.
2825 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2826 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2827 to build the list of delegated methods
2828 correctly (and not override important
2829 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2831 - added tests and docs for this
2832 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2833 so that you can actually document your
2834 attributes and inspect them through the
2836 - added tests and docs for this
2838 * Moose::Meta::Class
2839 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2840 it will first look in for the class in the
2841 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2842 then default to just loading $name.
2843 - added tests and docs for this
2845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2846 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2847 - added test for this
2850 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2851 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2852 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2853 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2855 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2856 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2859 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2861 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2862 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2863 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2866 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2867 !! for this developer release to work !!
2869 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2870 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2871 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2872 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2873 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2874 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2875 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2876 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2877 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2878 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2879 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2881 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2882 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2883 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2884 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2887 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2888 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2889 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2890 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2891 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2893 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2895 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2896 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2899 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2900 called unless they actually need to be.
2901 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2902 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2903 DEMOLISH method present.
2905 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2906 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2907 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2908 type constraint, which allows for a
2909 hand optimized version of the type
2910 constraint to be used when possible.
2911 - Any internally created type constraints
2912 now provide an optimized version as well.
2914 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2916 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2917 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2918 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2920 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2921 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2922 your class namespace of these exported
2925 * Moose::Meta::Class
2926 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2927 comes up during global destruction
2929 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2933 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2936 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2937 - changed how we do type checks so that
2938 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2941 - moved accessor generation methods to
2942 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2943 conform to the API changes from
2946 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2947 - changed how constraints are compiled
2948 so that we do less recursion and more
2949 iteration. This makes the type check
2951 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2954 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2955 - created this from methods formerly found in
2956 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2958 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2959 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2961 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2962 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2964 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2965 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2967 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2969 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2970 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2971 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2972 - added tests for this
2973 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2974 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2975 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2976 - removed tests for this
2978 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2980 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2981 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2982 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2985 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2986 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2987 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2989 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2990 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2991 comments for more info.
2994 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2995 asked questions and common problems
2997 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2998 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2999 - added tests for this
3001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3002 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3003 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3004 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3006 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3007 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3010 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3011 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3012 is much appreciated :)
3013 - added tests for this
3015 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3016 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3017 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3020 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3021 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3023 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3025 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3026 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3030 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3031 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3032 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3034 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3036 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3039 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3040 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3041 keywords because we need to localize them.
3042 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3044 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3045 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3046 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3049 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3052 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3053 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3054 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3057 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3058 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3059 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3061 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3063 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3064 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3065 bottom of your class file.
3068 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3071 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3073 - improved error message when loading modules so
3074 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3075 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3076 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3079 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3080 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3081 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3083 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3084 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3086 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3087 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3088 turn them on for you.
3089 - added tests for this

3118 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3119 - This release works in combination with
3120 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3121 release because it uses the a new
3122 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3123 complete Role implementation. It has
3124 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3125 the the previous CPAN version. This
3126 release also lacks good updated docs,
3127 the official release will have updated docs.
3130 - refactored the keyword exports
3131 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3132 accepts more than one Role at a time

3138 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3139 accepts more than one Role at a time
3141 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3143 string enumerations which can be used as
3145 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3148 - more careful checking of params to new()
3151 - much work done on the role composition
3152 - many new tests for conflict detection
3153 and composition edge cases
3154 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3155 looking at the tests
3157 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3158 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3159 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3171 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3172 with the 'handles' option

3180 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3181 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3182 on a per-attribute basis
3183 - added tests for this
3184 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3185 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3186 experimental feature and probably not finished
