1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
6 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
7 attribute's accessor returns something defined but unblessed. (hdp)
10 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
11 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
12 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
13 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
14 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
16 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
18 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
21 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
22 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
23 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
25 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
26 associated_methods. (hdp)
27 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
28 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
29 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
32 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
33 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
34 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
35 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
37 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
38 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
39 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
41 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
44 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
45 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
46 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
49 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
50 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
52 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
54 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
55 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
57 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
58 * Moose::Manual::Types
59 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
60 string parsing rathole (mst)
62 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
63 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
64 using plain objects instead
67 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
72 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
73 three times today (perigrin)
74 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
75 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
77 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
78 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
79 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
80 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
83 - A role's required methods are now represented by
84 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
85 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
86 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
87 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
88 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
91 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
92 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
93 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
94 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
97 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
99 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
102 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
104 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
107 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
108 during global destruction. This method has been made more
109 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
113 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
114 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
117 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
118 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
120 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
121 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
122 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
125 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
127 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
128 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
131 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
135 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
136 methods during global destruction (doy)
139 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
140 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
144 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
145 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
148 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
149 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
152 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
153 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
155 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
157 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
161 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
162 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
163 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
166 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
167 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
168 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
171 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
173 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
174 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
175 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
178 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
179 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
180 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
181 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
183 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
184 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
185 of the Moose core (Sartak)
188 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
191 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
192 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
193 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
197 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
198 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
201 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
203 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
206 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
207 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
210 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
211 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
214 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
215 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
218 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
221 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
223 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
224 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
228 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
230 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
231 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
234 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
235 * More deprecations and renamings
236 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
237 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
238 when an object is constructed)
241 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
242 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
243 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
245 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
246 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
247 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
248 feature, and it works again.
251 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
253 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
255 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
256 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
257 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
259 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
260 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
261 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
262 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
263 message. Test provided by perigrin.
265 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
266 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
267 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
268 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
269 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
272 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
273 metaclass object. (hdp)
275 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
276 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
277 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
278 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
279 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
280 point out this fact. (hdp)
282 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
283 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
285 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
286 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
289 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
290 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
291 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
292 called during instance construction were passed the
293 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
294 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
296 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
297 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
300 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
301 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
302 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
305 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
306 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
307 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
308 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
309 them, but they are not for "public" use.
312 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
314 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
315 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
316 when an object is constructed)
317 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
319 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
320 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
321 when an object is constructed)
322 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
323 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
324 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
327 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
329 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
330 * No changes from 0.72_01.
332 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
334 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
335 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
336 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
339 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
340 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
342 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
344 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
345 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
347 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
348 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
351 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
352 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
355 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
356 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
357 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
359 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
360 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
364 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
365 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
366 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
368 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
369 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
372 * Moose::Manual::Delta
373 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
374 with recommended workarounds.
376 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
377 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
379 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
380 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
381 (yes, spelled like that).
383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
384 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
387 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
388 changes in latest Class::MOP.
390 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
392 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
393 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
394 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
395 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
396 instead. Reported by doy.
398 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
400 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
401 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
403 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
404 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
405 message) is now deprecated.
406 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
407 often got it wrong. For example:
409 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
411 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
415 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
416 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
417 bite you in weird cases.
419 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
420 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
421 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
424 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
425 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
429 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
432 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
433 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
436 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
437 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
439 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
440 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
443 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
444 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
445 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
446 - added tests for this (stevan)
448 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
449 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
450 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
451 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
455 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
456 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
457 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
458 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
460 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
461 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
462 - added tests for this (rafl)
464 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
465 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
466 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
467 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
471 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
472 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
475 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
476 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
477 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
479 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
481 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
482 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
485 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
486 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
487 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
488 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
490 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
491 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
492 error message did not specify the attribute name
495 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
497 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
499 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
500 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
501 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
503 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
504 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
507 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
509 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
510 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
511 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
512 of fixes and formatting improvements.
514 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
516 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
517 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
518 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
519 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
521 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
522 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
523 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
525 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
526 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
527 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
528 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
529 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
531 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
532 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
533 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
534 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
535 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
537 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
538 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
539 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
540 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
541 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
542 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
544 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
545 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
546 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
547 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
548 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
549 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
551 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
552 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
554 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
555 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
556 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
557 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
559 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
560 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
563 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
567 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
568 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
570 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
571 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
572 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
575 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
577 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
579 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
580 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
581 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
582 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
585 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
588 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
589 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
591 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
593 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
596 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
597 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
598 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
599 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
600 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
601 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
603 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
604 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
605 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
606 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
607 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
608 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
609 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
610 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
611 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
612 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
614 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
616 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
617 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
619 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
620 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
621 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
622 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
624 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
625 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
626 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
627 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
628 same methods for a single role did not work
629 right (worked just fine with multiple
631 - added test for this (stevan)
633 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
634 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
635 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
638 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
639 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
640 - added test for this (t0m)
643 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
644 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
645 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
648 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
649 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
650 - added test for this (t0m)
652 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
653 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
654 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
655 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
656 - added test for this (perigrin)
659 - create method for constructing a role
661 - added test for this (Sartak)
662 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
663 - added test for this (Sartak)
666 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
668 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
669 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
670 methods is useful (Sartak)
672 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
673 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
674 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
678 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
679 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
680 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
681 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
682 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
683 - added tests for this (jdv79)
686 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
687 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
689 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
690 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
691 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
692 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
693 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
695 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
697 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
698 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
699 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
702 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
703 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
704 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
705 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
706 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
707 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
710 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
711 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
712 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
713 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
714 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
715 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
716 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
717 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
718 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
719 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
720 future. (jnapiorkowski)
722 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
723 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
726 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
727 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
728 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
729 type. (jnapiorkowski)
730 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
732 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
734 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
735 predicate, and link to more details sections in
736 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
738 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
739 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
741 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
742 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
743 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
744 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
747 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
748 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
750 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
752 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
753 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
756 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
757 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
760 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
761 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
762 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
763 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
765 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
766 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
768 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
769 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
770 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
771 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
772 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
773 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
774 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
775 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
777 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
778 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
779 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
781 * Roles and role application
782 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
783 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
784 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
785 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
786 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
788 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
789 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
792 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
793 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
794 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
795 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
796 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
799 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
800 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
801 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
802 changes in the Moose internals.
804 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
805 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
806 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
809 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
810 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
811 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
812 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
814 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
815 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
816 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
817 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
820 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
821 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
822 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
823 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
824 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
825 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
826 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
827 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
828 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
829 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
830 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
831 constraint implementations.
833 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
837 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
838 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
839 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
840 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
841 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
842 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
843 - added tests for this (rafl)
846 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
847 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
848 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
849 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
850 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
851 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
852 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
853 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
856 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
857 - added tests for this (thepler)
859 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
860 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
861 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
862 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
866 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
867 * Moose::Meta::Method
870 * Moose::Error::Default
871 * Moose::Error::Croak
872 * Moose::Error::Confess
873 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
874 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
875 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
876 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
877 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
878 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
880 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
882 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
883 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
886 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
887 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
888 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
890 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
891 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
892 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
893 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
894 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
897 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
898 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
900 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
901 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
902 several major changes in this release of Moose.
903 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
906 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
908 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
909 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
911 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
916 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed

922 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
923 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
924 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
925 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
926 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
928 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
929 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
930 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
932 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
933 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
934 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
937 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
938 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
939 dependency to 0.64_07.
941 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
942 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
943 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
945 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
946 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
949 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
950 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
951 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
952 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
953 coincidental exception. (t0m).
954 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
956 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
957 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
959 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
961 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
962 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
966 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
967 method when that method was provided by another role being
968 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
969 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
971 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
973 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
974 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
976 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
977 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
978 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
979 - added test for this (t0m)
981 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
982 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
983 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
985 - added test for this (t0m)
988 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
989 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
990 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
993 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
994 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
996 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
998 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1001 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1002 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1003 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1005 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1006 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1009 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1010 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1011 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1012 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1016 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1017 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1018 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1021 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1022 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1023 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1024 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1027 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1031 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1032 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1033 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1035 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1037 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1038 created so that the process can be more easily
1039 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1041 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

1043 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1044 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1046 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1047 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1050 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1051 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1053 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1054 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1055 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1057 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1

1068 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1069 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1073 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1074 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1076 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1077 ... this is not my day today ...
1079 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1080 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1081 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1082 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1083 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1086 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1087 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1088 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1089 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1090 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1093 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1095 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1096 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1097 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1098 this is not ever something you want to do
1099 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1100 - added tests for this (stevan)
1103 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1105 - added test for this
1107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1114 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1116 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1117 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1118 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1121 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1123 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1125 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1128 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1129 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1130 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1131 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1132 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1133 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1134 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1135 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1136 - added tests for this
1138 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1139 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1140 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1141 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1143 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1145 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1146 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

1158 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1159 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1160 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1162 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1164 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1165 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

1173 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1174 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1176 - added docs for this (TODO).
1177 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1178 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1179 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1198 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1199 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1201 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1202 - move the ClassName type check code to
1203 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1205 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1206 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1208 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1209 (early morning release engineering)--
1211 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1212 which was causing the indexer to choke
1214 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1215 (late night release engineering)--
1217 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1218 changes in this release
1220 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1221 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1222 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1224 * Moose::Meta::Class
1225 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1226 since it is called so often by &meta
1228 * Moose::Meta::Class
1230 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1231 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1235 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1236 method for immutablization to check if the
1237 destructor object even needs to be created
1240 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1241 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1242 - added more descriptive error message to help
1243 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1244 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1246 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1248 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1249 XS based functionality is now optional
1250 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1251 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1252 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1254 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1255 to take care of this, mostly we added
1256 support for the package_name and name
1257 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1258 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1259 support regexp matching of names
1260 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1261 - tests added for this
1262 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1263 is currently not supported in roles,
1264 but, ... patches welcome
1265 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1266 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1267 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1270 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1271 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1272 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1273 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1274 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1275 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1276 - added test for this
1278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1279 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1280 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1283 * Moose::Meta::Class
1284 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1288 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1290 - added tests for this
1291 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1292 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1294 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1295 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1296 themselves parameterizable types
1298 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1299 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1300 called by the inlined immutable
1302 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1304 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1305 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1306 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1307 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1309 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1310 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1314 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1315 causing occasional cpantester failures
1316 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1317 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1319 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1321 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1322 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1325 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1326 ->body when looping through the
1327 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1329 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1330 eating the $@ values, and so not
1331 working correctly, it still kind of
1332 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1333 - added tests for this
1335 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1336 - added new recipe for immutable
1337 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1339 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1340 - added new recipe for builder and
1341 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1343 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1344 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1345 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1348 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1350 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1351 since Module::Install has done that.
1353 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1355 drink more coffee before
1356 doing release engineering
1358 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1359 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1360 modules. This fixes that.
1362 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1363 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1364 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1366 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1367 since we have tests which need the C3
1370 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1371 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1373 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1374 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1376 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1377 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1378 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1379 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1385 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1386 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
1388 * Moose::Meta::Class
1389 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
1390 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1392 - added test for this
1394 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1395 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
1396 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
1397 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
1398 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
1399 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
1401 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1402 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
1404 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden

1407 classes (nothingmuch)
1409 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1410 - inherited attributes may now be extended without

1473 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1475 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1476 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1519 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1520 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1766 - added tests for this
1769 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1770 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1812 - fixed how required methods are handled
1813 when they encounter overriden or modified
1814 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1815 - added tests for this
1817 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1819 the | always creates a union and so is
1820 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1821 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1823 - added more tests for this
1825 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1828 * Parameterized Types
1829 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1830 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1831 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1832 They can also be nested:
1833 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1834 And work with the type unions as well:
1835 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1837 * Better Framework Extendability
1838 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1839 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1840 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1841 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1844 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1845 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1846 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1847 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2080 - added tests and docs for this
2081 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2082 so that you can actually document your
2083 attributes and inspect them through the
2085 - added tests and docs for this
2087 * Moose::Meta::Class
2088 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2089 it will first look in for the class in the
2090 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2091 then default to just loading $name.
2092 - added tests and docs for this
2094 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2095 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2096 - added test for this
2099 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2100 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2101 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2102 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2104 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2105 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2108 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2110 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2111 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2112 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2115 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2116 !! for this developer release to work !!
2118 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2119 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2120 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2121 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2122 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2123 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2124 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2125 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2126 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2127 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2128 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2130 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2131 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2132 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2133 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2136 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2137 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2138 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2139 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2140 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2142 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2144 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2145 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2148 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2149 called unless they actually need to be.
2150 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2151 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2152 DEMOLISH method present.
2154 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2155 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2156 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2157 type constraint, which allows for a
2158 hand optimized version of the type
2159 constraint to be used when possible.
2160 - Any internally created type constraints
2161 now provide an optimized version as well.
2163 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2165 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2166 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2167 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2169 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2170 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2171 your class namespace of these exported
2174 * Moose::Meta::Class
2175 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2176 comes up during global destruction
2178 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2182 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2185 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2186 - changed how we do type checks so that
2187 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2190 - moved accessor generation methods to
2191 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2192 conform to the API changes from
2195 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2196 - changed how constraints are compiled
2197 so that we do less recursion and more
2198 iteration. This makes the type check
2200 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2203 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2204 - created this from methods formerly found in
2205 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2207 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2208 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2211 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2213 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2214 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2216 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2218 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2219 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2220 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2221 - added tests for this
2222 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2223 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2224 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2225 - removed tests for this
2227 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2229 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2230 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2231 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2234 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2235 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2236 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2238 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2239 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2240 comments for more info.
2243 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2244 asked questions and common problems
2246 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2247 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2248 - added tests for this
2250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2251 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2252 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2253 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2255 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2256 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2259 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2260 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2261 is much appreciated :)
2262 - added tests for this
2264 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2265 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2266 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2269 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2270 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2272 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2274 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2275 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2279 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2280 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2281 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2283 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2285 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2288 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2289 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2290 keywords because we need to localize them.
2291 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2293 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2294 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2295 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2298 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2302 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2303 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2306 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2307 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2308 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2310 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2312 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2313 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2314 bottom of your class file.
2317 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2320 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2322 - improved error message when loading modules so
2323 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2324 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2325 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2328 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2329 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2330 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2332 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2333 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2335 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2336 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2337 turn them on for you.
2338 - added tests for this
2339 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2340 in Moose::Meta::Class
2343 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2344 automatically turned on for you.

2367 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2368 - This release works in combination with
2369 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2370 release because it uses the a new
2371 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2372 complete Role implementation. It has
2373 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2374 the the previous CPAN version. This
2375 release also lacks good updated docs,
2376 the official release will have updated docs.
2379 - refactored the keyword exports
2380 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2381 accepts more than one Role at a time
2382 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2383 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2386 - refactored the keyword exports
2387 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2388 accepts more than one Role at a time
2390 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2391 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2392 string enumerations which can be used as
2394 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2397 - more careful checking of params to new()
2400 - much work done on the role composition
2401 - many new tests for conflict detection
2402 and composition edge cases
2403 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2404 looking at the tests
2406 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2407 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2408 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2410 * Moose::Meta::Class
2411 - some small changes to support the new
2413 - some small additions to support Roles
2415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2416 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2418 - some small changes to support the new
2420 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2421 with the 'handles' option
2422 - added several tests for this
2423 - no docs for this yet
2425 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2427 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2429 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2430 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2431 on a per-attribute basis
2432 - added tests for this
2433 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2434 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2435 experimental feature and probably not finished

2437 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2438 - added tests for this

2500 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2502 - added test for this
2505 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
