1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
9 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
10 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. (sartak)
12 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
16 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
17 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
22 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
24 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
28 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
31 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
33 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
37 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
39 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
43 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
46 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
47 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
48 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
50 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
53 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
57 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
59 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
63 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
65 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
69 * Include changes from 2.0010.
71 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
75 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
76 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
80 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
81 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
82 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
87 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
89 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
93 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
94 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
96 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
100 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
102 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
106 * Various packaging issues.
108 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
112 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
113 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
118 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
119 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
120 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
124 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
125 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
126 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
128 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
132 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
133 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
135 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
139 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
140 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
142 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
145 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
146 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
150 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
151 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
153 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
157 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
158 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
162 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
164 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
168 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
170 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
174 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
175 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
177 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
181 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
183 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
187 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
189 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
190 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
192 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
196 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
197 skips every other role. (rjbs)
199 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
200 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
201 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
202 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
203 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
205 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
209 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
210 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
211 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
214 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
219 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
221 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
222 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
224 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
228 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
229 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
230 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
234 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
235 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
237 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
238 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
240 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
241 environments. (doy, mateu)
243 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
247 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
248 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
249 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
250 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
254 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
255 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
257 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
261 * Update conflicts list.
264 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
268 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
269 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
270 details. (Dave Rolsky)
272 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
273 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
274 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
275 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
276 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
280 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
281 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
282 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
283 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
284 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
287 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
291 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
292 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
294 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
297 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
301 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
302 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
303 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
304 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
306 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
307 immutable classes). (mo)
309 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
310 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
311 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
313 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
317 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
319 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
321 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
325 * Fix some indexing issues.
327 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
329 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
333 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
334 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
335 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
336 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
337 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
339 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
340 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
345 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
346 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
347 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
348 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
350 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
351 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
352 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
356 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
357 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
360 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
364 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
365 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
369 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
373 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
374 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
375 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
376 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
379 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
383 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
386 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
390 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
391 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
392 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
395 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
399 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
400 policy. (Chris Prather)
402 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
403 on this new support policy. (doy)
407 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
408 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
409 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
411 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
412 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
414 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
418 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
419 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
420 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
421 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
424 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
428 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
429 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
432 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
436 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
437 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
439 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
440 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
444 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
445 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
446 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
447 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
448 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
449 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
451 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
452 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
454 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
455 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
456 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
457 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
459 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
460 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
462 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
467 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
468 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
470 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
474 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
475 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
476 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
478 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
482 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
483 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
484 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
486 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
487 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
490 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
491 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
494 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
495 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
496 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
498 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
499 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
504 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
505 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
506 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
507 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
509 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
510 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
512 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
513 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
515 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
516 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
517 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
518 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
520 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
521 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
522 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
525 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
526 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
527 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
528 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
530 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
531 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
534 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
535 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
536 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
538 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
542 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
543 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
544 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
546 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
547 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
548 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
551 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
552 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
553 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
555 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
556 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
557 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
559 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
560 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
564 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
565 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
566 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
568 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
569 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
570 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
571 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
573 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
577 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
578 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
579 value is a reference.
581 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
582 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
584 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
588 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
589 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
590 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
592 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
596 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
597 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
601 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
602 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
603 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
605 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
606 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
607 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
609 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
613 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
615 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
619 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
621 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
622 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
627 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
628 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
630 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
631 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
632 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
633 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
634 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
636 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
637 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
638 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
639 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
641 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
645 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
646 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
651 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
653 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
655 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
660 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
662 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
666 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
667 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
668 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
670 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
671 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
672 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
673 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
675 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
676 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
677 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
678 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
679 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
682 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
687 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
688 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
689 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
690 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
691 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
694 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
698 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
701 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
702 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
706 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
707 function (not just method). (doy)
711 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
712 and aren't easily installable/testable.
714 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
718 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
719 to be overridden more easily (doy).
721 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
725 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
726 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
728 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
732 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
733 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
734 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
736 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
740 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
741 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
742 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
744 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
745 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
749 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
750 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
752 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
753 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
757 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
758 is applied to a class (t0m).
760 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
761 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
763 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
766 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
767 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
769 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
770 be much more robust. (doy)
772 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
774 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
777 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
781 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
782 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
784 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
788 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
789 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
791 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
794 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
795 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
796 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
798 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
799 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
800 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
803 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
805 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
809 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
810 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
814 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
816 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
820 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
821 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
825 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
826 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
830 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
832 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
836 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
837 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
841 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
842 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
846 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
847 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
849 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
853 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
854 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
855 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
858 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
862 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
863 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
864 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
865 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
867 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
871 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
872 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
873 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
877 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
880 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
884 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
885 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
886 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
890 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
891 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
893 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
894 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
895 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
896 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
898 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
902 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
906 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
907 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
909 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
910 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
911 - Moose::Util::does_role
912 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
913 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
914 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
916 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
920 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
921 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
922 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
925 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
929 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
930 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
933 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
937 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
938 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
941 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
945 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
947 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
948 class. (Dave Rolsky).
950 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
951 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
952 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
954 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
955 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
956 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
959 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
960 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
962 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
963 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
964 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
966 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
968 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
969 substr et al, again. (sorear)
971 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
973 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
976 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
977 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
979 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
980 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
982 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
983 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
984 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
985 dependencies installed.
987 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
988 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
991 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
993 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
997 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
999 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1000 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1001 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1003 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1004 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1005 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1007 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1008 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1011 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1012 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1013 others. (nothingmuch)
1015 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1016 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1017 remove_accessors. (doy)
1019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1020 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1021 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1023 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1024 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1026 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1027 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1028 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1029 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1031 * Moose::Meta::Class
1032 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1033 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1036 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1038 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1040 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1041 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1044 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1045 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1046 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1047 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1048 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1050 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1051 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1052 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1053 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1054 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1055 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1056 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1059 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1060 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1061 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1062 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1063 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1065 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1066 which were not receiving the value of
1067 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1068 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1069 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1070 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1074 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1075 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1076 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1077 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1078 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1081 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1082 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1083 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1084 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1086 * Moose::Meta::Class
1087 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1088 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1089 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1092 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1093 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1094 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1096 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1097 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1098 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1101 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1102 class if you pass it options for
1103 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1104 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1105 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1106 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1107 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1108 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1109 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1110 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1111 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1113 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1114 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1115 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1116 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1117 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1120 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1122 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1123 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1125 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1126 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1127 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1128 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1129 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1130 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1133 * Moose::Error::Croak
1134 * Moose::Error::Confess
1135 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1136 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1139 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1142 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1143 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1144 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1146 * Moose::Meta::Class
1147 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1150 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1151 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1152 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1154 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1155 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1156 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1157 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1158 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1160 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1161 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1164 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1166 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1167 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1170 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1171 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1173 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1174 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1175 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1176 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1178 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1179 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1180 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1181 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1182 using it for new code!
1184 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1185 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1186 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1187 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1189 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1190 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1191 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1192 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1193 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1194 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1195 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1196 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1199 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1202 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1203 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1206 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1207 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1209 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1210 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1211 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1213 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1215 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1216 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1218 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1219 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1220 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1222 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1223 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1224 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1227 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1229 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1230 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1231 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1232 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1234 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1236 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1240 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1241 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1243 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1244 associated_methods. (hdp)
1245 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1246 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1247 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1248 misspelled) arguments
1250 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1251 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1252 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1253 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1255 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1256 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1257 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1259 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1263 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1264 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1267 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1268 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1270 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1271 * Moose::Meta::Class
1272 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1273 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1275 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1276 * Moose::Manual::Types
1277 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1278 string parsing rathole (mst)
1280 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1281 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1282 using plain objects instead
1284 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1285 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1286 that's what we need.
1288 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1289 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1290 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1291 three times today (perigrin)
1292 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1293 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1295 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1296 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1297 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1298 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1301 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1302 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1303 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1304 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1305 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1306 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1309 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1310 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1311 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1312 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1315 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1317 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1320 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1322 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1325 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1326 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1327 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1331 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1332 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1335 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1336 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1338 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1339 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1340 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1342 * Moose::Unsweetened
1343 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1345 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1346 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1349 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1353 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1354 methods during global destruction (doy)
1356 * Moose::Meta::Class
1357 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1358 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1359 consumption (Sartak)
1361 * Moose::Meta::Class
1362 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1363 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1366 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1367 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1370 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1371 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1373 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1375 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1379 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1380 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1381 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1384 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1385 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1386 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1389 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1391 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1392 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1393 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1396 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1397 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1398 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1399 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1401 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1402 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1403 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1406 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1409 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1410 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1411 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1415 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1416 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1418 * Moose::Meta::Class
1419 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1421 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1423 * Moose::Meta::Class
1424 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1425 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1428 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1429 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1432 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1433 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1436 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1439 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1441 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1442 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1445 * Moose::Meta::Class
1446 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1448 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1449 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1452 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1453 * More deprecations and renamings
1454 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1455 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1456 when an object is constructed)
1459 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1460 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1461 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1463 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1464 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1465 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1466 feature, and it works again.
1469 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1471 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1473 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1474 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1475 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1478 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1479 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1480 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1481 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1483 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1484 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1485 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1486 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1487 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1490 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1491 metaclass object. (hdp)
1493 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1494 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1495 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1496 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1497 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1498 point out this fact. (hdp)
1500 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1501 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1503 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1504 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1506 * Moose::Meta::Class
1507 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1508 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1509 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1510 called during instance construction were passed the
1511 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1512 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1514 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1515 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1518 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1519 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1520 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1523 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1524 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1525 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1526 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1527 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1529 - Moose::Meta::Class
1530 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1532 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1533 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1534 when an object is constructed)
1535 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1537 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1538 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1539 when an object is constructed)
1540 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1541 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1542 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1545 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1547 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1548 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1550 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1552 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1553 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1554 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1556 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1557 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1558 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1560 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1562 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1563 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1565 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1566 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1569 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1570 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1573 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1574 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1575 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1577 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1578 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1582 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1583 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1584 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1586 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1587 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1590 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1591 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1592 with recommended workarounds.
1594 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1595 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1598 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1599 (yes, spelled like that).
1601 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1602 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1604 * Moose::Meta::Class
1605 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1606 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1608 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1610 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1611 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1612 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1613 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1614 instead. Reported by doy.
1616 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1618 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1619 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1621 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1622 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1623 message) is now deprecated.
1624 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1625 often got it wrong. For example:
1627 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1629 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1633 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1634 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1635 bite you in weird cases.
1637 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1638 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1639 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1640 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1642 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1643 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1647 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1650 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1651 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1654 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1655 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1657 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1658 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1661 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1662 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1663 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1664 - added tests for this (stevan)
1666 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1667 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1668 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1669 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1673 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1674 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1675 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1676 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1678 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1679 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1680 - added tests for this (rafl)
1682 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1683 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1684 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1685 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1689 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1690 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1693 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1694 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1695 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1697 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1699 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1700 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1702 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1703 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1704 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1705 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1706 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1708 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1709 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1710 error message did not specify the attribute name
1713 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1715 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1717 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1718 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1719 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1721 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1722 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1725 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1727 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1728 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1729 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1730 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1732 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1734 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1735 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1736 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1737 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1739 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1740 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1741 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1743 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1744 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1745 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1746 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1747 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1749 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1750 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1751 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1752 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1753 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1755 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1756 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1757 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1758 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1759 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1760 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1762 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1763 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1764 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1765 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1766 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1767 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1769 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1770 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1772 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1773 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1774 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1775 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1777 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1778 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1781 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1785 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1786 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1788 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1789 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1790 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1791 guts. (nothingmuch).
1793 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1794 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1795 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1797 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1798 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1799 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1800 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1802 * Moose::Meta::Class
1803 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1806 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1807 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1809 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1810 * Moose::Unsweetened
1811 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1814 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1815 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1816 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1817 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1818 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1819 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1822 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1823 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1824 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1825 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1826 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1827 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1829 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1830 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1832 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1834 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1835 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1837 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1838 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1839 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1840 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1842 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1843 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1844 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1845 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1846 same methods for a single role did not work
1847 right (worked just fine with multiple
1849 - added test for this (stevan)
1851 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1852 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1853 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1856 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1857 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1858 - added test for this (t0m)
1861 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1862 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1863 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1865 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1866 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1867 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1868 - added test for this (t0m)
1870 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1871 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1872 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1873 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1874 - added test for this (perigrin)
1877 - create method for constructing a role
1878 dynamically (Sartak)
1879 - added test for this (Sartak)
1880 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1881 - added test for this (Sartak)
1884 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1886 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1887 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1888 methods is useful (Sartak)
1890 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1891 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1892 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1895 * Moose::Meta::Class
1896 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1897 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1898 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1899 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1900 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1901 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1904 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1905 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1907 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1908 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1909 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1910 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1911 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1913 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1915 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1916 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1917 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1920 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1921 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1922 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1923 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1924 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1925 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1928 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1929 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1930 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1931 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1932 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1933 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1934 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1935 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1936 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1937 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1938 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1940 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1941 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1944 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1945 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1946 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1947 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1948 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1950 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1952 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1953 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1954 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1956 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1957 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1959 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1960 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1961 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1962 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1965 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1966 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1968 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1970 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1971 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1973 * Moose::Meta::Class
1974 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1975 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1976 a required attribute
1978 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1979 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1980 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1981 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1983 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1984 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1986 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1987 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1988 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1989 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1990 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1991 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1992 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1993 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1995 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1996 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1997 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1999 * Roles and role application
2000 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2001 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2002 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2003 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2004 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2006 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2007 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2010 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2011 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2012 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2013 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2014 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2017 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2018 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2019 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2020 changes in the Moose internals.
2022 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2023 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2024 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2027 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2028 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2029 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2030 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2032 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2033 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2034 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2035 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2037 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2038 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2039 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2040 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2041 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2042 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2043 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2044 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2045 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2046 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2047 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2048 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2049 constraint implementations.
2051 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2055 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2056 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2057 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2058 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2059 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2060 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2061 - added tests for this (rafl)
2063 * Moose::Meta::Class
2064 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2065 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2066 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2067 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2068 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2069 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2070 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2071 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2074 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2075 - added tests for this (thepler)
2077 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2078 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2079 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2080 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2083 * Moose::Meta::Class
2084 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2085 * Moose::Meta::Method
2088 * Moose::Error::Default
2089 * Moose::Error::Croak
2090 * Moose::Error::Confess
2091 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2092 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2093 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2094 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2095 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2096 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2098 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2100 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2101 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2103 * Moose::Unsweetened
2104 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2105 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2106 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2109 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2110 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2111 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2112 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2115 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2116 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2118 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2119 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2120 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2121 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2161 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2163 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2164 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2168 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2169 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2170 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2171 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2172 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2174 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2175 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2177 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2179 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ

2197 - added test for this (t0m)
2199 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2200 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2201 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2203 - added test for this (t0m)
2206 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2207 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2208 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2211 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2212 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2214 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2217 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2219 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2253 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2254 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2255 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2256 created so that the process can be more easily
2257 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2295 ... this is not my day today ...
2297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2298 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2299 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2300 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2301 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2304 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2305 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2306 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2307 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2308 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2311 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2313 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2314 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2346 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2347 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2348 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2349 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2350 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2351 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2352 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2353 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2354 - added tests for this
2356 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2357 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2358 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2459 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2460 - added more descriptive error message to help
2461 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2462 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2464 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2466 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2467 XS based functionality is now optional
2468 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2469 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2470 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2549 working correctly, it still kind of
2550 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2551 - added tests for this

2573 drink more coffee before
2574 doing release engineering
2576 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2691 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2693 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2733 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2735 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2736 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2737 when the method cannot be found, not sure why

2984 - added tests for this
2987 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2988 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3030 - fixed how required methods are handled
3031 when they encounter overriden or modified
3032 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3033 - added tests for this
3035 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3036 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3037 the | always creates a union and so is
3038 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3039 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3041 - added more tests for this
3043 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3046 * Parameterized Types
3047 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3048 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3049 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3050 They can also be nested:
3051 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3052 And work with the type unions as well:
3053 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3055 * Better Framework Extendability
3056 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3057 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3058 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3059 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3062 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3063 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3064 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3065 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3068 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3070 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3071 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3224 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3225 prototypes for functions
3226 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3227 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3299 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3300 so that you can actually document your
3301 attributes and inspect them through the

3305 * Moose::Meta::Class
3306 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3307 it will first look in for the class in the
3308 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3309 then default to just loading $name.
3310 - added tests and docs for this
3312 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3313 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3314 - added test for this

3319 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3320 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3322 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3323 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3326 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3328 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3329 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3330 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3333 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3334 !! for this developer release to work !!
3336 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3337 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3338 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3339 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3340 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3341 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3342 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3343 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3344 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3345 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3346 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3348 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3349 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3350 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3351 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3354 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3355 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3356 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3357 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3358 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3360 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3362 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3363 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3366 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3367 called unless they actually need to be.
3368 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3369 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3370 DEMOLISH method present.
3372 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3373 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3374 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3375 type constraint, which allows for a
3376 hand optimized version of the type
3377 constraint to be used when possible.
3378 - Any internally created type constraints
3379 now provide an optimized version as well.
3381 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3383 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3384 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3385 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3387 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3388 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3389 your class namespace of these exported
3392 * Moose::Meta::Class
3393 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3394 comes up during global destruction
3396 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3400 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into

3404 - changed how we do type checks so that
3405 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3408 - moved accessor generation methods to
3409 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3410 conform to the API changes from
3413 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3414 - changed how constraints are compiled
3415 so that we do less recursion and more
3416 iteration. This makes the type check
3418 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3421 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3422 - created this from methods formerly found in
3423 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3425 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3426 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3428 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3429 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

3432 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3434 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3436 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3437 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3438 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3439 - added tests for this
3440 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3441 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3442 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3443 - removed tests for this
3445 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3447 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3448 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3449 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3452 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3453 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3454 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3456 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3457 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3458 comments for more info.
3461 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3462 asked questions and common problems
3464 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3465 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3466 - added tests for this
3468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3469 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3470 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3471 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3473 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3474 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3477 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3478 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3479 is much appreciated :)
3480 - added tests for this
3482 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3483 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3484 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3487 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3488 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3490 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3492 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3493 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3497 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3498 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3499 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3501 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3503 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3506 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3507 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3508 keywords because we need to localize them.
3509 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3511 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3512 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3513 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3516 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3519 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3520 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3521 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3524 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3525 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3526 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3528 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3530 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3531 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3532 bottom of your class file.
3535 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3538 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3540 - improved error message when loading modules so
3541 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3542 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3543 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3546 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3547 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3548 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3551 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3553 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3554 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3555 turn them on for you.
3556 - added tests for this
3557 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3558 in Moose::Meta::Class
3561 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3562 automatically turned on for you.
3563 - added tests for this
3566 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3567 - added tests for this
3568 - added some more edge case tests

3581 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3584 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3585 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3586 - This release works in combination with
3587 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3588 release because it uses the a new
3589 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3590 complete Role implementation. It has
3591 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3592 the the previous CPAN version. This
3593 release also lacks good updated docs,
3594 the official release will have updated docs.
3597 - refactored the keyword exports
3598 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3599 accepts more than one Role at a time
3600 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3601 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3604 - refactored the keyword exports
3605 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3606 accepts more than one Role at a time
3608 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3609 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3610 string enumerations which can be used as
3612 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3615 - more careful checking of params to new()
3618 - much work done on the role composition
3619 - many new tests for conflict detection
3620 and composition edge cases
3621 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3622 looking at the tests
3624 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3625 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3626 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3628 * Moose::Meta::Class
3629 - some small changes to support the new
3631 - some small additions to support Roles
3633 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3634 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3636 - some small changes to support the new
3638 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3639 with the 'handles' option
3640 - added several tests for this
3641 - no docs for this yet
3643 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3645 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3646 thanks to chansen for this commit
3647 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3648 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3649 on a per-attribute basis
3650 - added tests for this
3651 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3652 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3653 experimental feature and probably not finished

3718 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3720 - added test for this
