1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
10 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
13 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
14 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
15 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
17 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
20 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
24 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
26 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
30 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
32 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
36 * Include changes from 2.0010.
38 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
42 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
43 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
47 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
48 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
49 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
54 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
56 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
60 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
61 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
63 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
67 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
69 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
73 * Various packaging issues.
75 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
79 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
80 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
85 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
86 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
87 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
91 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
92 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
93 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
95 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
99 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
100 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
102 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
106 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
107 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
109 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
112 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
113 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
117 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
118 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
120 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
124 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
125 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
129 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
131 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
135 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
137 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
141 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
142 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
144 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
148 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
150 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
154 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
156 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
157 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
159 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
163 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
164 skips every other role. (rjbs)
166 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
167 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
168 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
169 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
170 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
172 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
176 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
177 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
178 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
181 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
186 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
188 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
189 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
191 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
195 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
196 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
197 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
201 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
202 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
204 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
205 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
207 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
208 environments. (doy, mateu)
210 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
214 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
215 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
216 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
217 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
221 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
222 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
224 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
228 * Update conflicts list.
231 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
235 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
236 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
237 details. (Dave Rolsky)
239 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
240 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
241 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
242 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
243 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
247 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
248 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
249 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
250 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
251 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
254 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
258 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
259 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
261 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
264 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
268 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
269 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
270 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
271 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
273 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
274 immutable classes). (mo)
276 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
277 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
278 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
280 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
284 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
286 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
288 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
292 * Fix some indexing issues.
294 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
296 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
300 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
301 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
302 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
303 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
304 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
306 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
307 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
312 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
313 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
314 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
315 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
317 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
318 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
319 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
323 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
324 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
327 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
331 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
332 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
336 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
340 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
341 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
342 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
343 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
346 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
350 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
353 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
357 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
358 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
359 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
362 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
366 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
367 policy. (Chris Prather)
369 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
370 on this new support policy. (doy)
374 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
375 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
376 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
378 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
379 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
381 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
385 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
386 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
387 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
388 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
391 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
395 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
396 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
399 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
403 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
404 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
406 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
407 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
411 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
412 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
413 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
414 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
415 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
416 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
418 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
419 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
421 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
422 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
423 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
424 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
426 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
427 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
429 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
434 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
435 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
437 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
441 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
442 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
443 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
445 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
449 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
450 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
451 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
453 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
454 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
457 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
458 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
461 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
462 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
463 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
465 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
466 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
471 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
472 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
473 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
474 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
476 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
477 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
479 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
480 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
482 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
483 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
484 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
485 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
487 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
488 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
489 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
492 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
493 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
494 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
495 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
497 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
498 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
501 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
502 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
503 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
505 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
509 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
510 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
511 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
513 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
514 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
515 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
518 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
519 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
520 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
522 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
523 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
524 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
526 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
527 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
531 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
532 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
533 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
535 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
536 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
537 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
538 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
540 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
544 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
545 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
546 value is a reference.
548 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
549 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
551 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
555 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
556 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
557 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
559 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
563 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
564 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
568 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
569 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
570 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
572 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
573 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
574 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
576 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
580 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
582 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
586 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
588 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
589 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
594 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
595 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
597 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
598 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
599 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
600 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
601 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
603 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
604 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
605 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
606 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
608 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
612 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
613 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
618 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
620 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
622 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
627 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
629 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
633 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
634 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
635 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
637 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
638 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
639 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
640 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
642 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
643 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
644 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
645 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
646 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
649 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
654 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
655 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
656 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
657 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
658 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
661 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
665 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
668 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
669 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
673 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
674 function (not just method). (doy)
678 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
679 and aren't easily installable/testable.
681 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
685 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
686 to be overridden more easily (doy).
688 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
692 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
693 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
695 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
699 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
700 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
701 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
703 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
707 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
708 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
709 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
711 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
712 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
716 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
717 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
719 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
720 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
724 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
725 is applied to a class (t0m).
727 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
728 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
730 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
733 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
734 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
736 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
737 be much more robust. (doy)
739 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
741 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
744 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
748 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
749 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
751 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
755 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
756 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
758 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
761 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
762 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
763 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
765 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
766 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
767 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
770 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
772 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
776 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
777 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
781 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
783 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
787 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
788 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
792 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
793 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
797 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
799 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
803 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
804 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
808 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
809 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
813 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
814 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
816 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
820 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
821 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
822 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
825 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
829 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
830 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
831 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
832 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
834 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
838 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
839 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
840 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
844 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
847 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
851 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
852 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
853 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
857 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
858 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
860 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
861 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
862 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
863 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
865 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
869 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
873 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
874 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
876 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
877 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
878 - Moose::Util::does_role
879 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
880 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
881 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
883 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
887 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
888 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
889 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
892 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
896 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
897 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
900 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
904 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
905 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
908 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
912 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
914 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
915 class. (Dave Rolsky).
917 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
918 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
919 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
921 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
922 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
923 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
926 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
927 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
929 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
930 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
931 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
933 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
935 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
936 substr et al, again. (sorear)
938 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
940 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
943 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
944 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
946 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
947 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
949 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
950 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
951 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
952 dependencies installed.
954 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
955 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
958 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
960 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
964 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
966 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
967 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
968 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
971 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
972 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
974 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
975 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
978 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
979 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
980 others. (nothingmuch)
982 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
983 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
984 remove_accessors. (doy)
986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
987 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
988 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
990 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
991 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
993 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
994 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
995 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
996 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
999 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1000 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1003 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1005 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1007 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1008 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1011 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1012 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1013 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1014 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1015 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1017 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1020 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1021 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1022 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1023 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1026 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1027 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1028 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1029 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1030 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1032 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1033 which were not receiving the value of
1034 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1035 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1036 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1037 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1041 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1042 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1043 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1044 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1045 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1048 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1049 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1050 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1051 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1053 * Moose::Meta::Class
1054 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1055 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1056 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1059 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1060 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1061 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1063 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1064 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1065 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1068 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1069 class if you pass it options for
1070 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1071 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1072 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1073 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1074 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1075 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1076 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1077 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1078 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1080 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1081 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1082 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1083 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1084 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1087 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1088 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1089 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1090 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1092 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1093 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1094 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1095 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1096 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1097 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1100 * Moose::Error::Croak
1101 * Moose::Error::Confess
1102 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1103 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1106 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1109 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1110 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1111 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1113 * Moose::Meta::Class
1114 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1117 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1118 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1119 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1121 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1122 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1123 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1124 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1125 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1127 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1128 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1131 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1133 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1134 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1137 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1138 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1141 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1142 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1143 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1145 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1146 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1147 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1148 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1149 using it for new code!
1151 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1152 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1153 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1154 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1156 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1157 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1158 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1159 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1160 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1161 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1162 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1163 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1166 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1169 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1170 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1173 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1174 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1176 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1177 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1178 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1180 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1182 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1183 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1185 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1186 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1187 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1189 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1190 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1191 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1194 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1196 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1197 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1198 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1199 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1201 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1203 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1206 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1207 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1208 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1210 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1211 associated_methods. (hdp)
1212 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1213 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1214 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1215 misspelled) arguments
1217 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1218 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1219 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1220 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1222 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1224 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1226 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1229 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1230 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1231 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1234 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1235 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1237 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1238 * Moose::Meta::Class
1239 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1240 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1242 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1243 * Moose::Manual::Types
1244 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1245 string parsing rathole (mst)
1247 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1248 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1249 using plain objects instead
1251 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1252 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1253 that's what we need.
1255 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1256 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1257 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1258 three times today (perigrin)
1259 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1260 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1262 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1263 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1264 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1265 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1268 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1269 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1270 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1271 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1272 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1273 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1276 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1277 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1278 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1279 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1282 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1284 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1287 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1289 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1292 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1293 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1294 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1298 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1299 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1302 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1303 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1305 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1306 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1307 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1309 * Moose::Unsweetened
1310 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1312 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1313 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1316 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1320 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1321 methods during global destruction (doy)
1323 * Moose::Meta::Class
1324 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1325 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1326 consumption (Sartak)
1328 * Moose::Meta::Class
1329 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1330 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1333 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1334 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1337 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1338 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1340 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1342 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1346 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1347 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1348 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1351 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1352 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1353 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1356 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1358 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1359 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1360 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1363 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1364 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1365 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1366 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1368 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1369 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1370 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1373 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1376 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1377 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1378 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1382 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1383 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1385 * Moose::Meta::Class
1386 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1388 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1390 * Moose::Meta::Class
1391 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1392 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1395 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1396 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1399 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1400 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1403 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1406 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1408 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1409 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1412 * Moose::Meta::Class
1413 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1415 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1416 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1419 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1420 * More deprecations and renamings
1421 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1422 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1423 when an object is constructed)
1426 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1427 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1428 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1430 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1431 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1432 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1433 feature, and it works again.
1436 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1438 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1440 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1441 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1442 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1445 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1446 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1447 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1448 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1450 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1451 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1452 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1453 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1454 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1457 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1458 metaclass object. (hdp)
1460 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1461 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1462 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1463 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1464 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1465 point out this fact. (hdp)
1467 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1468 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1470 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1471 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1473 * Moose::Meta::Class
1474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1475 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1476 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1477 called during instance construction were passed the
1478 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1479 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1481 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1482 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1485 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1486 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1487 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1490 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1491 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1492 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1493 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1494 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1496 - Moose::Meta::Class
1497 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1499 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1500 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1501 when an object is constructed)
1502 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1504 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1505 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1506 when an object is constructed)
1507 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1508 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1509 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1512 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1514 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1515 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1517 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1519 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1520 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1521 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1524 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1525 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1527 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1529 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1530 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1532 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1533 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1536 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1537 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1540 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1541 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1542 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1544 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1545 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1549 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1550 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1551 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1553 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1554 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1557 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1558 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1559 with recommended workarounds.
1561 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1562 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1565 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1566 (yes, spelled like that).
1568 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1569 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1571 * Moose::Meta::Class
1572 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1573 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1575 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1577 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1578 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1579 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1580 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1581 instead. Reported by doy.
1583 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1585 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1586 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1588 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1589 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1590 message) is now deprecated.
1591 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1592 often got it wrong. For example:
1594 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1596 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1600 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1601 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1602 bite you in weird cases.
1604 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1605 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1606 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1607 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1609 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1610 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1614 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1617 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1618 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1621 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1622 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1625 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1628 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1629 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1630 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1631 - added tests for this (stevan)
1633 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1634 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1635 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1636 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1640 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1641 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1642 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1643 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1645 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1646 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1647 - added tests for this (rafl)
1649 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1650 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1651 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1652 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1656 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1657 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1660 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1661 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1662 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1664 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1666 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1667 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1669 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1670 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1671 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1672 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1673 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1675 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1676 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1677 error message did not specify the attribute name
1680 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1682 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1684 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1685 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1686 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1688 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1689 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1692 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1694 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1695 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1696 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1697 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1699 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1701 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1702 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1703 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1704 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1706 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1707 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1708 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1710 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1711 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1712 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1713 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1714 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1716 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1717 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1718 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1719 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1720 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1722 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1723 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1724 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1725 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1726 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1727 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1729 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1730 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1731 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1732 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1733 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1734 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1736 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1737 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1739 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1740 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1741 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1742 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1744 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1745 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1748 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1752 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1753 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1755 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1756 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1757 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1758 guts. (nothingmuch).
1760 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1761 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1762 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1764 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1765 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1766 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1767 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1769 * Moose::Meta::Class
1770 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1773 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1774 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1776 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1777 * Moose::Unsweetened
1778 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1781 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1782 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1783 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1784 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1785 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1786 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1788 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1789 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1790 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1791 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1792 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1793 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1794 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1795 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1796 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1797 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1799 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1801 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1802 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1804 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1805 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1806 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1807 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1809 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1810 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1811 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1812 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1813 same methods for a single role did not work
1814 right (worked just fine with multiple
1816 - added test for this (stevan)
1818 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1819 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1820 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1823 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1824 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1825 - added test for this (t0m)
1828 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1829 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1830 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1832 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1833 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1834 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1835 - added test for this (t0m)
1837 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1838 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1839 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1840 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1841 - added test for this (perigrin)
1844 - create method for constructing a role
1845 dynamically (Sartak)
1846 - added test for this (Sartak)
1847 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1848 - added test for this (Sartak)
1851 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1853 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1854 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1855 methods is useful (Sartak)
1857 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1858 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1859 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1862 * Moose::Meta::Class
1863 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1864 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1865 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1866 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1867 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1868 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1871 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1872 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1874 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1875 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1876 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1877 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1878 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1880 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1882 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1883 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1884 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1887 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1888 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1889 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1890 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1891 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1892 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1896 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1897 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1898 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1899 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1900 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1901 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1902 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1903 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1904 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1905 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1907 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1908 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1911 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1912 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1913 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1914 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1915 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1917 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1919 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1920 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1921 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1923 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1924 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1926 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1927 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1928 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1929 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1932 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1933 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1935 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1937 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1938 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1940 * Moose::Meta::Class
1941 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1942 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1943 a required attribute
1945 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1946 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1947 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1948 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1950 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1951 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1953 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1954 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1955 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1956 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1957 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1958 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1959 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1960 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1962 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1963 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1964 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1966 * Roles and role application
1967 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1968 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1969 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1970 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1971 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1973 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1974 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1977 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1978 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1979 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1980 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1981 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1984 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1985 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1986 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1987 changes in the Moose internals.
1989 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1990 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1991 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1994 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1995 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1996 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1997 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1999 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2000 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2001 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2002 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2004 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2005 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2006 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2007 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2008 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2009 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2010 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2011 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2012 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2013 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2014 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2015 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2016 constraint implementations.
2018 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2022 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2023 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2024 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2025 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2026 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2027 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2028 - added tests for this (rafl)
2030 * Moose::Meta::Class
2031 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2032 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2033 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2034 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2035 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2036 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2037 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2038 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2041 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2042 - added tests for this (thepler)
2044 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2045 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2046 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2047 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2050 * Moose::Meta::Class
2051 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2052 * Moose::Meta::Method
2055 * Moose::Error::Default
2056 * Moose::Error::Croak
2057 * Moose::Error::Confess
2058 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2059 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2060 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2061 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2062 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2063 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2065 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2067 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2068 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2070 * Moose::Unsweetened
2071 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2072 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2073 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2075 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2076 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2077 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent

2079 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2082 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2083 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)

2086 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2087 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2088 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2094 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2096 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2099 - Various bug fixes.

2135 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2136 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2137 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2138 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2139 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2141 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry

2175 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2178 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2179 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2181 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2184 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2186 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2262 ... this is not my day today ...
2264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2265 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that

2268 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2271 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2272 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2273 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2278 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2280 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2281 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2313 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2314 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2315 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2316 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2317 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2318 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2319 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2320 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2321 - added tests for this
2323 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2324 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2431 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2433 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2434 XS based functionality is now optional
2435 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2436 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2437 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2799 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2800 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2801 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2802 method in the first place ;)
2804 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2805 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~

2814 - 100% backwards compat.
2815 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2816 classes based on type of applicants

2865 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2867 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2868 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2869 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2908 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2909 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2912 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2913 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2914 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2915 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2919 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2921 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2931 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2932 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2950 with work correctly.
2951 - added tests for this
2954 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2955 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2994 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2997 - fixed how required methods are handled
2998 when they encounter overriden or modified
2999 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3000 - added tests for this
3002 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3003 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3004 the | always creates a union and so is
3005 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3006 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3008 - added more tests for this
3010 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3013 * Parameterized Types
3014 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3015 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3016 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3017 They can also be nested:
3018 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3019 And work with the type unions as well:
3020 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3022 * Better Framework Extendability
3023 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3024 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3025 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3026 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3029 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3030 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3031 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3032 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3035 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3037 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3038 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3098 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3100 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3190 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3191 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3192 prototypes for functions
3193 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3194 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3204 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3207 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3208 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3209 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3210 - added tests for this
3212 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3214 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3236 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3238 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3239 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3240 so this release is just to fix that.
3243 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3244 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3245 (thanks to konobi for this)

3256 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3257 functions to facilitate introspection.
3259 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3260 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3261 to build the list of delegated methods
3262 correctly (and not override important
3263 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3265 - added tests and docs for this
3266 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3267 so that you can actually document your
3268 attributes and inspect them through the
3270 - added tests and docs for this
3272 * Moose::Meta::Class
3273 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3274 it will first look in for the class in the
3275 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3276 then default to just loading $name.
3277 - added tests and docs for this
3279 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3280 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3281 - added test for this
3284 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3285 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3286 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3287 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3289 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3290 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3293 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3295 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3296 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3297 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3300 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3301 !! for this developer release to work !!
3303 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3304 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3305 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3306 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3307 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3308 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3309 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3310 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3311 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3312 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3313 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3315 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3316 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3317 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3318 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3321 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3323 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3324 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3325 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3327 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3329 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3330 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3333 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3334 called unless they actually need to be.
3335 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3336 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3337 DEMOLISH method present.
3339 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3340 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3341 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3342 type constraint, which allows for a
3343 hand optimized version of the type
3344 constraint to be used when possible.
3345 - Any internally created type constraints
3346 now provide an optimized version as well.
3348 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3350 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3351 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3352 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3354 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3355 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3356 your class namespace of these exported
3359 * Moose::Meta::Class
3360 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3361 comes up during global destruction
3363 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3367 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3370 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3371 - changed how we do type checks so that
3372 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3375 - moved accessor generation methods to
3376 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3377 conform to the API changes from
3380 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3381 - changed how constraints are compiled
3382 so that we do less recursion and more
3383 iteration. This makes the type check
3385 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3388 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3389 - created this from methods formerly found in
3390 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3392 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3393 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3395 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3396 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3398 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3399 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3401 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3403 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3404 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3405 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3406 - added tests for this
3407 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3408 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3409 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3410 - removed tests for this
3412 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3414 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3415 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3416 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3419 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3420 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3421 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3423 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3424 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3425 comments for more info.
3428 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3429 asked questions and common problems
3431 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3432 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3433 - added tests for this
3435 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3436 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3437 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3438 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3440 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3441 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3444 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3445 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3446 is much appreciated :)
3447 - added tests for this
3449 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3450 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3451 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3454 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3455 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3457 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3459 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3460 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3464 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3465 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3466 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3468 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3470 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3473 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3474 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3475 keywords because we need to localize them.
3476 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3478 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3479 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3480 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3483 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3486 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3487 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3488 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3491 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3492 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3493 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3495 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3497 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3498 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3499 bottom of your class file.
3502 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3505 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3507 - improved error message when loading modules so
3508 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3509 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3510 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3513 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3514 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3515 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3518 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3520 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3521 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3522 turn them on for you.
3523 - added tests for this
3524 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3525 in Moose::Meta::Class
3528 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3529 automatically turned on for you.
3530 - added tests for this
3533 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3534 - added tests for this
3535 - added some more edge case tests

3551 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3552 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3553 - This release works in combination with
3554 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3555 release because it uses the a new
3556 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3557 complete Role implementation. It has
3558 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3559 the the previous CPAN version. This
3560 release also lacks good updated docs,
3561 the official release will have updated docs.
3564 - refactored the keyword exports
3565 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3566 accepts more than one Role at a time
3567 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3568 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3571 - refactored the keyword exports
3572 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3573 accepts more than one Role at a time
3575 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3576 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3577 string enumerations which can be used as
3579 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3582 - more careful checking of params to new()
3585 - much work done on the role composition
3586 - many new tests for conflict detection
3587 and composition edge cases
3588 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3589 looking at the tests
3591 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3592 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3593 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3595 * Moose::Meta::Class
3596 - some small changes to support the new
3598 - some small additions to support Roles
3600 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3601 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3603 - some small changes to support the new
3605 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3606 with the 'handles' option
3607 - added several tests for this
3608 - no docs for this yet
3610 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3612 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3613 thanks to chansen for this commit
3614 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3615 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3616 on a per-attribute basis
3617 - added tests for this
3618 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3619 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3620 experimental feature and probably not finished
