1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
7 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came
8 up three times today (perigrin)
9 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
10 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
12 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
14 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
17 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
18 during global destruction. This method has been made more
19 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
23 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
24 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
27 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
28 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
30 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
31 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
32 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
35 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
37 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
38 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
41 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
45 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
46 methods during global destruction (doy)
49 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
50 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
54 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
55 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
58 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
59 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
62 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
63 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
67 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
71 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
72 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
73 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
76 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
77 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
78 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
81 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01. It seems that if
82 we use a dev version number there CPAN.pm will not follow the
85 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
86 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
87 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
90 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
91 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
92 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
93 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
95 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
96 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
97 of the Moose core (Sartak)
100 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
103 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
104 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
105 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
109 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
110 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
113 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
115 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
118 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
119 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
122 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
123 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
126 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
127 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
130 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
133 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
135 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
136 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
140 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
142 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
143 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
146 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
147 * More deprecations and renamings
148 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
149 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
150 when an object is constructed)
153 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
154 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
155 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
158 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
159 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
160 feature, and it works again.
163 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
165 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
167 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
168 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
169 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
171 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
172 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
173 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
174 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
175 message. Test provided by perigrin.
177 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
178 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
179 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
180 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
181 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
184 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
185 metaclass object. (hdp)
187 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
188 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
189 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
190 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
191 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
192 point out this fact. (hdp)
194 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
195 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
197 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
198 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
201 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
202 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
203 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
204 called during instance construction were passed the
205 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
206 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
208 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
209 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
212 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
213 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
214 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
217 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
218 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
219 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
220 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
221 them, but they are not for "public" use.
224 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
226 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
227 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
228 when an object is constructed)
229 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
231 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
232 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
233 when an object is constructed)
234 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
235 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
236 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
239 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
241 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
242 * No changes from 0.72_01.
244 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
246 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
247 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
248 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
250 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
251 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
252 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
254 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
256 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
257 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
259 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
260 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
263 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
264 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
267 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
268 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
269 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
271 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
272 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
276 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
277 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
278 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
280 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
281 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
284 * Moose::Manual::Delta
285 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
286 with recommended workarounds.
288 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
289 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
291 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
292 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
293 (yes, spelled like that).
295 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
296 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
299 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
300 changes in latest Class::MOP.
302 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
304 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
305 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
306 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
307 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
308 instead. Reported by doy.
310 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
312 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
313 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
315 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
316 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
317 message) is now deprecated.
318 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
319 often got it wrong. For example:
321 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
323 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
327 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
328 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
329 bite you in weird cases.
331 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
332 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
333 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
336 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
337 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
341 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
344 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
345 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
348 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
349 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
351 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
352 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
355 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
356 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
357 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
358 - added tests for this (stevan)
360 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
361 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
362 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
363 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
367 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
368 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
369 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
370 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
372 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
373 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
374 - added tests for this (rafl)
376 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
377 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
378 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
379 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
383 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
384 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
387 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
388 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
389 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
391 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
393 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
394 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
397 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
398 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
399 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
400 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
402 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
403 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
404 error message did not specify the attribute name
407 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
409 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
411 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
412 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
413 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
416 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
419 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
421 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
422 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
423 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
424 of fixes and formatting improvements.
426 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
428 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
429 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
430 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
431 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
434 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
435 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
438 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
439 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
440 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
441 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
443 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
444 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
445 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
446 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
447 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
449 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
450 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
451 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
452 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
453 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
454 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
456 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
457 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
458 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
459 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
460 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
461 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
463 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
464 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
466 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
467 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
468 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
469 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
471 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
472 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
475 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
479 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
480 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
482 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
483 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
484 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
487 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
488 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
489 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
492 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
493 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
494 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
497 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
500 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
501 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
503 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
505 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
508 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
509 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
510 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
511 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
512 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
513 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
515 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
516 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
517 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
518 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
519 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
520 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
521 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
522 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
523 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
524 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
526 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
528 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
529 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
531 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
532 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
533 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
534 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
536 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
537 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
538 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
539 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
540 same methods for a single role did not work
541 right (worked just fine with multiple
543 - added test for this (stevan)
545 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
546 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
547 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
550 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
551 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
552 - added test for this (t0m)
555 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
556 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
557 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
559 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
560 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
561 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
562 - added test for this (t0m)
564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
565 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
566 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
567 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
568 - added test for this (perigrin)
571 - create method for constructing a role
573 - added test for this (Sartak)
574 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
575 - added test for this (Sartak)
578 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
580 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
581 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
582 methods is useful (Sartak)
584 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
585 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
586 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
590 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
591 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
592 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
593 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
594 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
595 - added tests for this (jdv79)
598 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
599 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
601 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
602 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
603 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
604 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
605 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
607 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
609 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
610 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
611 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
614 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
615 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
616 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
617 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
618 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
619 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
622 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
623 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
624 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
625 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
626 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
627 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
628 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
629 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
630 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
631 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
632 future. (jnapiorkowski)
634 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
635 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
638 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
639 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
640 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
641 type. (jnapiorkowski)
642 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
644 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
646 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
647 predicate, and link to more details sections in
648 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
650 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
651 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
653 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
654 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
655 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
656 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
659 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
660 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
662 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
664 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
665 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
668 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
669 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
672 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
673 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
674 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
675 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
677 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
678 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
680 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
681 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
682 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
683 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
684 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
685 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
686 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
687 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
689 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
690 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
691 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
693 * Roles and role application
694 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
695 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
696 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
697 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
698 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
700 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
701 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
704 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
705 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
706 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
707 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
708 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
711 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
712 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
713 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
714 changes in the Moose internals.
716 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
718 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
721 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
722 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
723 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
724 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
726 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
727 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
728 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
729 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
731 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
732 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
733 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
734 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
735 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
736 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
737 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
738 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
739 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
740 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
741 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
742 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
743 constraint implementations.
745 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
749 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
750 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
751 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
752 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
753 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
754 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
755 - added tests for this (rafl)
758 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
759 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
760 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
761 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
762 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
763 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
764 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
765 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
768 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
769 - added tests for this (thepler)
771 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
772 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
773 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
774 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
779 * Moose::Meta::Method
782 * Moose::Error::Default
783 * Moose::Error::Croak
784 * Moose::Error::Confess
785 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
786 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
787 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
788 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
789 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
790 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
792 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
794 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
795 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
798 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
799 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
800 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
803 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
804 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
805 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
806 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
809 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
810 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
812 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
813 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
814 several major changes in this release of Moose.
815 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
818 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
820 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
821 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
823 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
828 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
829 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

833 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
834 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
835 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
836 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
837 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
838 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
840 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
841 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
842 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
844 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

849 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
850 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
851 dependency to 0.64_07.

854 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
855 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
857 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
858 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
861 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
862 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
863 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
864 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
865 coincidental exception. (t0m).
866 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
868 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
869 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
871 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
873 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
874 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
878 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
879 method when that method was provided by another role being
880 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
881 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
883 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
885 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
886 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
888 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
889 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
890 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
891 - added test for this (t0m)
893 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
894 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
895 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
897 - added test for this (t0m)
900 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
901 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
902 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
905 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
906 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
908 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
910 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
913 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
914 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
915 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
917 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
918 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
921 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
922 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
923 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
924 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
928 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
929 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
930 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
933 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
934 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
935 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
936 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
939 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
943 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
944 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making

966 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
967 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

986 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
988 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
989 ... this is not my day today ...
991 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
992 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
993 clone_and_inherit options still works for
994 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
995 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
998 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
999 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1000 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1001 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1002 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1005 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1007 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1008 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1009 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1010 this is not ever something you want to do
1011 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1012 - added tests for this (stevan)
1015 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1017 - added test for this

1037 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1040 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1041 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1042 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1043 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1044 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1045 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1046 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1047 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1048 - added tests for this
1050 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1051 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1052 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1053 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1055 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1126 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1127 (late night release engineering)--

1153 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1154 - added more descriptive error message to help
1155 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1156 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1158 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1160 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1161 XS based functionality is now optional
1162 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1163 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1164 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1166 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1167 to take care of this, mostly we added
1168 support for the package_name and name
1169 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1170 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1171 support regexp matching of names
1172 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1183 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1184 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1185 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1186 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1187 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1188 - added test for this
1190 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1212 called by the inlined immutable
1214 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1216 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1217 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1218 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1219 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1221 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1222 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1226 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1227 causing occasional cpantester failures
1228 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1229 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)

1234 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1237 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1238 ->body when looping through the
1239 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1241 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1242 eating the $@ values, and so not
1243 working correctly, it still kind of
1244 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1245 - added tests for this
1247 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1248 - added new recipe for immutable
1249 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1267 drink more coffee before
1268 doing release engineering
1270 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1426 - making test for using '+name' on attributes consumed
1427 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1429 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1430 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
1431 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1432 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1433 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1435 - added more delegation tests
1436 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1437 support traits and their introspection.
1438 - added tests for this

1640 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1641 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1642 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

1677 with work correctly.
1678 - added tests for this
1681 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1682 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1721 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1724 - fixed how required methods are handled
1725 when they encounter overriden or modified
1726 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1727 - added tests for this
1729 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1730 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1731 the | always creates a union and so is
1732 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1733 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1735 - added more tests for this
1737 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1740 * Parameterized Types
1741 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1742 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1743 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1744 They can also be nested:
1745 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1746 And work with the type unions as well:
1747 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1749 * Better Framework Extendability
1750 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1751 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1752 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1753 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1756 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1757 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1758 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1759 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1762 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1764 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1765 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

1967 so this release is just to fix that.
1970 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1971 to create multiple attrs (see docs)

1993 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1994 so that you can actually document your
1995 attributes and inspect them through the

1999 * Moose::Meta::Class
2000 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2001 it will first look in for the class in the
2002 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2003 then default to just loading $name.
2004 - added tests and docs for this
2006 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2007 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2008 - added test for this
2011 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2012 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2013 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2014 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2016 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2017 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2020 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2022 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2023 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2024 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2027 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2028 !! for this developer release to work !!
2030 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2031 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2032 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2033 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2034 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2035 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2036 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2037 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2038 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2039 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2040 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2042 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2043 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2044 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2045 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2048 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2049 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2050 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2051 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2052 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2054 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2056 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2057 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2060 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2061 called unless they actually need to be.
2062 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2063 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2064 DEMOLISH method present.
2066 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2067 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2068 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2069 type constraint, which allows for a
2070 hand optimized version of the type
2071 constraint to be used when possible.
2072 - Any internally created type constraints
2073 now provide an optimized version as well.
2075 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2077 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2078 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2079 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2082 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2083 your class namespace of these exported
2086 * Moose::Meta::Class
2087 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2088 comes up during global destruction
2090 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2094 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2097 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2098 - changed how we do type checks so that
2099 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2102 - moved accessor generation methods to
2103 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2104 conform to the API changes from
2107 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2108 - changed how constraints are compiled
2109 so that we do less recursion and more
2110 iteration. This makes the type check
2112 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2115 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2116 - created this from methods formerly found in
2117 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2119 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2120 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2122 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2123 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2125 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2126 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2128 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2131 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2132 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2133 - added tests for this
2134 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2135 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2136 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2137 - removed tests for this
2139 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2141 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2142 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2143 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2146 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2147 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2148 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2150 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2151 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2152 comments for more info.
2155 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2156 asked questions and common problems
2158 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2159 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2160 - added tests for this
2162 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2163 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2164 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2165 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2167 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2168 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2171 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2172 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2173 is much appreciated :)
2174 - added tests for this
2176 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2177 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2178 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2182 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2184 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2186 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2187 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2191 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2192 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2193 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2195 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2197 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2200 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2201 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2202 keywords because we need to localize them.
2203 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2205 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2206 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2207 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2210 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2213 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2214 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2215 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2218 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2219 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2220 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2222 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2224 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2225 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2226 bottom of your class file.
2229 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2232 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2234 - improved error message when loading modules so
2235 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2236 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2237 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2240 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2241 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2242 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2244 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2245 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2247 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2248 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2249 turn them on for you.
2250 - added tests for this
2251 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2252 in Moose::Meta::Class
2255 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2256 automatically turned on for you.

2260 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2261 - added tests for this

2275 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2278 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2279 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2280 - This release works in combination with
2281 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2282 release because it uses the a new
2283 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2284 complete Role implementation. It has
2285 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2286 the the previous CPAN version. This
2287 release also lacks good updated docs,
2288 the official release will have updated docs.
2291 - refactored the keyword exports
2292 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2293 accepts more than one Role at a time
2294 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2295 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2298 - refactored the keyword exports
2299 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2300 accepts more than one Role at a time
2302 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2303 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2304 string enumerations which can be used as
2306 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2309 - more careful checking of params to new()
2312 - much work done on the role composition
2313 - many new tests for conflict detection
2314 and composition edge cases
2315 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2316 looking at the tests
2318 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2319 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2320 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2322 * Moose::Meta::Class
2323 - some small changes to support the new
2325 - some small additions to support Roles
2327 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2328 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2330 - some small changes to support the new
2332 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2333 with the 'handles' option
2334 - added several tests for this
2335 - no docs for this yet
2337 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2339 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2340 thanks to chansen for this commit
2341 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2342 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2343 on a per-attribute basis
2344 - added tests for this
2345 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2346 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2347 experimental feature and probably not finished
2348 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2349 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2350 - added tests for this
2353 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2365 construct_instance (for the better)
2367 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2368 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2369 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)

2412 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2414 - added test for this
2417 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
