1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
6 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
9 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
10 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
11 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
12 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
13 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
14 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
15 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
18 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
21 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
22 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
25 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
26 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
28 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
29 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
30 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
33 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
34 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
35 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
38 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
39 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
41 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
42 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
43 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
46 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
47 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
48 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
49 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
50 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
51 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
53 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
55 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
58 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
59 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
60 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
62 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
63 associated_methods. (hdp)
64 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
65 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
66 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
69 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
70 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
71 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
72 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
74 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
75 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
76 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
78 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
81 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
82 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
83 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
86 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
87 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
89 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
91 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
92 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
94 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
95 * Moose::Manual::Types
96 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
97 string parsing rathole (mst)
99 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
100 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
101 using plain objects instead
103 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
104 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
107 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
109 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
110 three times today (perigrin)
111 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
112 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
114 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
115 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
116 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
117 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
120 - A role's required methods are now represented by
121 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
122 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
123 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
124 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
125 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
128 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
129 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
130 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
131 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
134 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
136 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
139 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
141 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
144 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
145 during global destruction. This method has been made more
146 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
150 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
151 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
154 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
155 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
157 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
158 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
159 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
162 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
164 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
165 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
168 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
172 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
173 methods during global destruction (doy)
176 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
177 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
181 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
182 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
185 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
186 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
189 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
190 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
192 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
194 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
198 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
199 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
200 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
203 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
204 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
205 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
208 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
210 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
211 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
212 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
215 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
216 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
217 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
218 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
220 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
221 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
222 of the Moose core (Sartak)
225 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
228 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
229 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
230 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
234 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
235 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
238 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
240 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
243 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
244 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
247 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
248 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
251 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
252 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
255 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
258 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
260 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
261 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
265 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
267 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
268 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
271 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
272 * More deprecations and renamings
273 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
274 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
275 when an object is constructed)
278 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
279 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
280 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
282 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
283 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
284 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
285 feature, and it works again.
288 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
290 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
292 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
293 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
294 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
296 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
297 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
298 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
299 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
300 message. Test provided by perigrin.
302 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
303 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
304 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
305 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
306 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
309 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
310 metaclass object. (hdp)
312 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
313 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
314 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
315 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
316 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
317 point out this fact. (hdp)
319 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
320 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
322 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
323 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
327 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
328 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
329 called during instance construction were passed the
330 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
331 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
333 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
334 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
337 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
338 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
339 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
342 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
343 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
344 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
345 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
346 them, but they are not for "public" use.
349 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
351 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
352 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
353 when an object is constructed)
354 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
356 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
357 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
358 when an object is constructed)
359 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
360 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
361 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
364 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
366 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
367 * No changes from 0.72_01.
369 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
371 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
372 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
373 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
375 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
376 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
377 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
379 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
381 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
382 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
384 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
385 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
388 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
389 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
392 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
393 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
394 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
397 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
401 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
402 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
403 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
405 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
406 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
409 * Moose::Manual::Delta
410 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
411 with recommended workarounds.
413 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
414 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
417 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
418 (yes, spelled like that).
420 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
421 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
424 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
425 changes in latest Class::MOP.
427 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
429 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
430 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
431 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
432 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
433 instead. Reported by doy.
435 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
437 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
438 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
440 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
441 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
442 message) is now deprecated.
443 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
444 often got it wrong. For example:
446 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
448 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
452 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
453 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
454 bite you in weird cases.
456 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
457 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
458 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
461 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
462 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
466 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
469 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
470 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
473 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
474 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
476 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
477 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
480 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
481 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
482 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
483 - added tests for this (stevan)
485 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
486 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
487 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
488 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
492 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
493 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
494 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
495 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
497 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
498 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
499 - added tests for this (rafl)
501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
502 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
503 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
504 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
508 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
509 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
512 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
513 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
514 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
516 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
518 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
519 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
522 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
523 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
524 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
525 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
528 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
529 error message did not specify the attribute name
532 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
534 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
536 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
537 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
538 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
541 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
544 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
546 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
547 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
548 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
549 of fixes and formatting improvements.
551 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
553 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
554 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
555 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
556 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
558 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
559 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
560 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
562 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
563 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
564 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
565 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
566 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
568 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
569 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
570 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
571 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
572 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
574 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
575 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
576 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
577 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
578 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
579 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
581 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
582 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
583 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
584 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
585 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
586 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
588 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
589 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
591 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
592 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
593 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
594 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
596 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
597 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
600 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
604 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
605 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
607 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
608 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
609 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
612 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
613 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
614 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
616 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
617 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
618 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
619 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
622 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
625 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
626 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
628 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
630 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
633 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
634 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
635 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
636 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
637 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
638 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
640 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
641 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
642 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
643 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
644 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
645 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
646 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
647 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
648 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
649 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
651 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
653 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
654 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
656 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
657 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
658 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
659 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
661 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
662 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
663 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
664 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
665 same methods for a single role did not work
666 right (worked just fine with multiple
668 - added test for this (stevan)
670 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
671 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
672 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
675 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
676 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
677 - added test for this (t0m)
680 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
681 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
682 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
684 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
685 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
686 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
687 - added test for this (t0m)
689 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
690 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
691 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
692 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
693 - added test for this (perigrin)
696 - create method for constructing a role
698 - added test for this (Sartak)
699 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
700 - added test for this (Sartak)
703 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
705 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
706 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
707 methods is useful (Sartak)
709 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
710 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
711 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
715 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
716 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
717 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
718 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
719 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
720 - added tests for this (jdv79)
723 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
724 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
726 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
727 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
728 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
729 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
730 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
732 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
734 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
735 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
736 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
739 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
740 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
741 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
742 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
743 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
744 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
747 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
748 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
749 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
750 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
751 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
752 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
753 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
754 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
755 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
756 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
757 future. (jnapiorkowski)
759 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
760 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
763 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
764 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
765 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
766 type. (jnapiorkowski)
767 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
769 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
771 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
772 predicate, and link to more details sections in
773 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
775 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
776 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
778 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
779 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
780 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
781 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
784 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
785 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
787 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
789 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
790 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
793 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
794 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
797 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
799 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
800 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
802 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
803 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
805 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
806 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
807 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
808 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
809 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
810 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
811 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
812 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
814 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
815 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
816 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
818 * Roles and role application
819 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
820 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
821 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
822 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
823 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
825 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
826 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
829 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
830 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
831 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
832 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
833 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
836 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
837 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
838 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
839 changes in the Moose internals.
841 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
842 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
843 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
846 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
847 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
848 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
849 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
851 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
852 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
853 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
854 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
856 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
857 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
858 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
859 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
860 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
861 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
862 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
863 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
864 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
865 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
866 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
867 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
868 constraint implementations.
870 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
874 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
875 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
876 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
877 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
878 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
879 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
880 - added tests for this (rafl)
883 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
884 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
885 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
886 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
887 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
888 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
889 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
890 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
893 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
894 - added tests for this (thepler)
896 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
897 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
898 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
899 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
904 * Moose::Meta::Method
907 * Moose::Error::Default
908 * Moose::Error::Croak
909 * Moose::Error::Confess
910 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
911 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
912 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
913 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
914 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
915 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
917 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
919 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
920 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
923 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
924 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
925 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
927 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
928 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
929 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
930 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
931 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
934 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
935 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
937 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
938 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
939 several major changes in this release of Moose.
940 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
943 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
945 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
946 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
948 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
953 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
954 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
956 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
958 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
959 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
960 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
961 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
962 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
963 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
965 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
966 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
967 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
969 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
970 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
971 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
974 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
975 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
976 dependency to 0.64_07.
978 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
979 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
980 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
983 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
986 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
987 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
988 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
989 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
990 coincidental exception. (t0m).
991 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
993 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
994 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
996 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
998 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
999 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1003 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1004 method when that method was provided by another role being
1005 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1006 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1008 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1010 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1011 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1013 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1014 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1015 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1016 - added test for this (t0m)
1018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1019 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1020 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1022 - added test for this (t0m)
1025 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1026 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1027 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1030 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1031 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1033 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1035 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1036 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1038 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1039 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1040 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1042 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1043 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1046 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1047 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1048 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1049 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1053 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1054 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1055 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1058 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1059 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1060 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1061 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1064 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1068 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1069 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1070 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1072 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1073 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1074 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1075 created so that the process can be more easily
1076 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1078 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1079 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1080 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1081 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1083 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1084 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1087 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1088 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1090 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1091 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1092 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1094 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1095 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1096 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1098 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1099 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1101 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1102 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1105 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1106 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1110 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1111 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1113 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1114 ... this is not my day today ...
1116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1117 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1118 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1119 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1120 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1123 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1124 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1125 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1126 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1127 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1130 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1132 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1133 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1134 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1135 this is not ever something you want to do
1136 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1137 - added tests for this (stevan)
1140 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1142 - added test for this
1144 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1145 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1146 - added tests for this (wreis)
1148 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1149 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1150 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1151 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1153 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1154 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1155 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1158 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1160 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1162 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1165 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1166 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1167 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1168 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1169 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1170 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1171 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1172 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1173 - added tests for this
1175 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1176 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1177 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1178 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1180 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1182 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1183 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1184 - added tests for this (sartak)
1185 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1186 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1189 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1191 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1192 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1194 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1195 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1196 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1197 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1199 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1201 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1202 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1205 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1206 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1207 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1209 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1210 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1211 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1213 - added docs for this (TODO).
1214 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1215 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1216 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1217 - fix builder and default both being used
1222 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1224 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1225 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1226 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1230 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1234 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1235 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1236 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1238 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1239 - move the ClassName type check code to
1240 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1242 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1243 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1245 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1246 (early morning release engineering)--
1248 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1249 which was causing the indexer to choke
1251 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1252 (late night release engineering)--
1254 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1255 changes in this release
1257 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1258 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1259 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1261 * Moose::Meta::Class
1262 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1263 since it is called so often by &meta
1265 * Moose::Meta::Class
1267 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1268 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1271 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1272 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1273 method for immutablization to check if the
1274 destructor object even needs to be created
1277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1278 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1279 - added more descriptive error message to help
1280 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1281 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1283 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1285 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1286 XS based functionality is now optional
1287 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1288 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1289 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1291 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1292 to take care of this, mostly we added
1293 support for the package_name and name
1294 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1295 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1296 support regexp matching of names
1297 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1298 - tests added for this
1299 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1300 is currently not supported in roles,
1301 but, ... patches welcome
1302 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1303 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1304 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1307 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1308 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1309 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1310 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1311 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1312 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1313 - added test for this
1315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1316 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1317 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1320 * Moose::Meta::Class
1321 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1325 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1327 - added tests for this
1328 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1329 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1331 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1332 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1333 themselves parameterizable types
1335 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1336 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1337 called by the inlined immutable
1339 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1341 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1342 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1343 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1344 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1346 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1347 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1351 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1352 causing occasional cpantester failures
1353 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1354 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1356 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1358 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1359 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1362 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1363 ->body when looping through the
1364 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1366 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1367 eating the $@ values, and so not
1368 working correctly, it still kind of
1369 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1370 - added tests for this
1372 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1373 - added new recipe for immutable
1374 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1376 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1377 - added new recipe for builder and
1378 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1380 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1381 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1382 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1385 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1387 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1388 since Module::Install has done that.
1390 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1392 drink more coffee before
1393 doing release engineering
1395 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1396 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1397 modules. This fixes that.
1399 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1400 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1401 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1403 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1404 since we have tests which need the C3

1510 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1512 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1803 - added tests for this
1806 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1807 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1850 when they encounter overriden or modified
1851 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1852 - added tests for this
1854 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1862 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1865 * Parameterized Types
1866 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1867 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1868 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1869 They can also be nested:
1870 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1871 And work with the type unions as well:
1872 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1874 * Better Framework Extendability
1875 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1876 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1877 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1878 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1881 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1882 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1883 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1884 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2078 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2079 where not handled correctly in roles
2080 - added tests for this
2082 * Moose::Meta::Class
2083 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2084 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2085 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2087 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2088 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2090 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2091 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2092 so this release is just to fix that.
2095 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2096 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2097 (thanks to konobi for this)
2098 - added tests and docs
2100 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2101 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2103 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2104 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2105 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2106 - added tests for this
2107 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2108 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2109 functions to facilitate introspection.
2111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2112 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2113 to build the list of delegated methods
2114 correctly (and not override important
2115 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2117 - added tests and docs for this
2118 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2119 so that you can actually document your
2120 attributes and inspect them through the
2122 - added tests and docs for this
2124 * Moose::Meta::Class
2125 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2126 it will first look in for the class in the
2127 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2128 then default to just loading $name.
2129 - added tests and docs for this
2131 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2132 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2133 - added test for this
2136 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2137 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2138 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2139 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2141 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2142 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2145 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2147 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2148 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2149 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2152 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2153 !! for this developer release to work !!
2155 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2156 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2157 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2158 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2159 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2160 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2161 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2162 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2163 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2164 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2165 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2167 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2168 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2169 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2170 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2173 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2174 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2175 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2176 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2177 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2179 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2181 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2182 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2185 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2186 called unless they actually need to be.
2187 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2188 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2189 DEMOLISH method present.
2191 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2192 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2193 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2194 type constraint, which allows for a
2195 hand optimized version of the type
2196 constraint to be used when possible.
2197 - Any internally created type constraints
2198 now provide an optimized version as well.
2200 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2202 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2203 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2204 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2206 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2207 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2208 your class namespace of these exported
2211 * Moose::Meta::Class
2212 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2213 comes up during global destruction
2215 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2219 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2222 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2223 - changed how we do type checks so that
2224 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2227 - moved accessor generation methods to
2228 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2229 conform to the API changes from
2232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2233 - changed how constraints are compiled
2234 so that we do less recursion and more
2235 iteration. This makes the type check
2237 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2240 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2241 - created this from methods formerly found in
2242 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2244 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2245 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2247 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2248 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2250 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2251 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2253 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2256 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2257 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2258 - added tests for this
2259 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2260 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2261 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2262 - removed tests for this
2264 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2266 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2267 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2268 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2271 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2272 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2273 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2275 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2276 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2277 comments for more info.
2280 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2281 asked questions and common problems
2283 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2284 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2285 - added tests for this
2287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2288 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2289 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2290 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2292 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2293 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2296 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2297 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2298 is much appreciated :)
2299 - added tests for this
2301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2302 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2303 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2306 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2307 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2309 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2311 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2312 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2316 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2317 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2318 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2320 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2322 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2325 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2326 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2327 keywords because we need to localize them.
2328 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2330 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2331 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2332 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2335 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2338 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2339 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2340 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2343 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2344 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2345 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2347 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2349 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2350 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2351 bottom of your class file.
2354 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2357 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2359 - improved error message when loading modules so
2360 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2361 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2362 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2365 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2366 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2367 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2369 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2370 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2372 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2373 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2374 turn them on for you.
2375 - added tests for this

2404 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2405 - This release works in combination with
2406 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2407 release because it uses the a new
2408 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2409 complete Role implementation. It has
2410 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2411 the the previous CPAN version. This
2412 release also lacks good updated docs,
2413 the official release will have updated docs.
2416 - refactored the keyword exports
2417 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2418 accepts more than one Role at a time

2424 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2425 accepts more than one Role at a time
2427 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2429 string enumerations which can be used as
2431 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2434 - more careful checking of params to new()
2437 - much work done on the role composition
2438 - many new tests for conflict detection
2439 and composition edge cases
2440 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2441 looking at the tests
2443 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2444 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2445 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2455 - some small changes to support the new
2457 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2458 with the 'handles' option

2466 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2467 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2468 on a per-attribute basis
2469 - added tests for this
2470 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2471 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
