1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
9 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
10 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
11 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the fly.
15 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
16 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
21 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
22 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
24 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
28 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
30 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
34 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
37 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
38 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
39 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
41 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
44 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
48 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
50 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
54 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
56 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
60 * Include changes from 2.0010.
62 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
66 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
67 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
71 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
72 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
73 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
78 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
80 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
84 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
85 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
87 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
91 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
93 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
97 * Various packaging issues.
99 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
103 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
104 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
109 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
110 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
111 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
115 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
116 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
117 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
119 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
123 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
124 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
126 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
130 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
131 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
133 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
136 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
137 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
141 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
142 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
144 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
148 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
149 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
153 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
155 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
159 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
161 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
165 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
166 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
168 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
172 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
174 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
178 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
180 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
181 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
183 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
187 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
188 skips every other role. (rjbs)
190 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
191 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
192 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
193 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
194 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
196 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
200 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
201 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
202 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
205 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
210 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
212 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
213 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
215 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
219 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
220 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
221 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
225 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
226 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
228 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
229 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
231 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
232 environments. (doy, mateu)
234 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
238 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
239 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
240 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
241 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
245 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
246 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
248 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
252 * Update conflicts list.
255 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
259 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
260 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
261 details. (Dave Rolsky)
263 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
264 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
265 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
266 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
267 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
271 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
272 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
273 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
274 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
275 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
278 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
282 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
283 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
285 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
288 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
292 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
293 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
294 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
295 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
297 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
298 immutable classes). (mo)
300 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
301 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
302 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
304 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
308 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
310 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
312 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
316 * Fix some indexing issues.
318 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
320 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
324 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
325 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
326 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
327 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
328 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
330 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
331 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
336 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
337 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
338 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
339 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
341 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
342 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
343 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
347 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
348 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
351 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
355 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
356 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
360 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
364 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
365 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
366 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
367 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
370 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
374 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
377 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
381 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
382 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
383 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
386 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
390 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
391 policy. (Chris Prather)
393 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
394 on this new support policy. (doy)
398 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
399 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
400 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
402 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
403 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
405 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
409 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
410 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
411 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
412 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
415 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
419 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
420 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
423 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
427 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
428 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
430 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
431 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
435 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
436 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
437 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
438 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
439 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
440 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
442 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
443 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
445 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
446 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
447 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
448 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
450 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
451 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
453 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
458 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
459 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
461 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
465 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
466 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
467 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
469 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
473 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
474 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
475 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
477 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
478 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
481 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
482 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
485 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
486 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
487 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
489 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
490 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
495 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
496 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
497 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
498 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
500 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
501 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
503 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
504 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
506 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
507 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
508 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
509 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
511 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
512 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
513 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
516 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
517 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
518 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
519 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
521 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
522 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
525 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
526 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
527 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
529 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
533 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
534 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
535 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
537 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
538 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
539 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
542 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
543 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
544 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
546 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
547 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
548 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
550 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
551 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
555 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
556 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
557 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
559 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
560 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
561 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
562 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
564 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
568 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
569 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
570 value is a reference.
572 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
573 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
575 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
579 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
580 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
581 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
583 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
587 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
588 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
592 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
593 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
594 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
596 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
597 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
598 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
600 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
604 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
606 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
610 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
612 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
613 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
618 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
619 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
621 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
622 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
623 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
624 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
625 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
627 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
628 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
629 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
630 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
632 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
636 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
637 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
642 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
644 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
646 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
651 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
653 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
657 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
658 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
659 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
661 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
662 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
663 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
664 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
666 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
667 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
668 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
669 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
670 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
673 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
678 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
679 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
680 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
681 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
682 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
685 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
689 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
692 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
693 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
697 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
698 function (not just method). (doy)
702 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
703 and aren't easily installable/testable.
705 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
709 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
710 to be overridden more easily (doy).
712 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
716 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
717 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
719 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
723 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
724 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
725 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
727 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
731 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
732 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
733 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
735 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
736 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
740 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
741 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
743 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
744 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
748 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
749 is applied to a class (t0m).
751 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
752 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
754 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
757 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
758 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
760 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
761 be much more robust. (doy)
763 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
765 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
768 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
772 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
773 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
775 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
779 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
780 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
782 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
785 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
786 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
787 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
789 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
790 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
791 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
794 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
796 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
800 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
801 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
805 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
807 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
811 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
812 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
816 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
817 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
821 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
823 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
827 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
828 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
832 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
833 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
837 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
838 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
840 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
844 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
845 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
846 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
849 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
853 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
854 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
855 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
856 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
858 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
862 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
863 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
864 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
868 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
871 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
875 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
876 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
877 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
881 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
882 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
884 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
885 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
886 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
887 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
889 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
893 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
897 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
898 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
900 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
901 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
902 - Moose::Util::does_role
903 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
904 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
905 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
907 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
911 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
912 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
913 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
916 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
920 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
921 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
924 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
928 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
929 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
932 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
936 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
938 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
939 class. (Dave Rolsky).
941 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
942 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
943 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
945 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
946 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
947 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
950 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
951 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
953 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
954 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
955 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
957 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
959 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
960 substr et al, again. (sorear)
962 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
964 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
967 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
968 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
970 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
971 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
973 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
974 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
975 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
976 dependencies installed.
978 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
979 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
982 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
984 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
988 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
990 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
991 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
992 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
994 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
995 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
996 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
998 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
999 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1002 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1003 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1004 others. (nothingmuch)
1006 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1007 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1008 remove_accessors. (doy)
1010 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1011 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1012 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1014 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1015 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1017 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1018 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1019 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1020 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1022 * Moose::Meta::Class
1023 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1024 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1027 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1029 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1031 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1032 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1036 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1037 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1038 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1039 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1041 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1042 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1043 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1044 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1045 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1046 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1047 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1050 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1051 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1052 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1053 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1054 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1056 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1057 which were not receiving the value of
1058 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1059 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1060 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1061 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1065 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1066 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1067 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1068 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1069 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1072 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1073 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1074 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1075 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1077 * Moose::Meta::Class
1078 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1079 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1080 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1083 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1084 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1085 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1087 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1088 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1089 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1092 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1093 class if you pass it options for
1094 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1095 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1096 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1097 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1098 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1099 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1100 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1101 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1102 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1104 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1105 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1106 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1107 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1108 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1111 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1112 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1113 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1114 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1117 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1118 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1119 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1120 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1121 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1124 * Moose::Error::Croak
1125 * Moose::Error::Confess
1126 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1127 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1130 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1133 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1134 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1135 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1137 * Moose::Meta::Class
1138 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1141 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1142 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1143 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1145 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1146 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1147 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1148 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1149 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1151 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1152 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1155 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1157 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1158 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1161 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1162 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1165 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1166 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1167 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1170 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1171 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1172 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1173 using it for new code!
1175 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1176 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1177 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1178 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1180 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1181 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1182 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1183 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1184 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1185 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1186 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1187 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1190 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1193 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1194 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1198 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1200 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1201 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1202 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1204 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1205 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1206 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1207 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1209 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1210 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1211 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1213 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1214 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1215 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1218 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1219 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1220 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1221 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1222 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1223 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1225 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1227 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1230 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1231 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1232 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1234 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1235 associated_methods. (hdp)
1236 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1237 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1238 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1239 misspelled) arguments
1241 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1242 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1243 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1244 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1246 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1247 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1248 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1250 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1253 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1254 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1255 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1258 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1259 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1261 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1262 * Moose::Meta::Class
1263 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1264 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1266 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1267 * Moose::Manual::Types
1268 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1269 string parsing rathole (mst)
1271 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1272 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1273 using plain objects instead
1275 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1276 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1277 that's what we need.
1279 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1280 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1281 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1282 three times today (perigrin)
1283 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1284 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1286 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1287 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1288 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1289 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1292 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1293 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1294 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1295 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1296 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1297 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1300 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1301 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1302 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1303 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1306 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1308 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1311 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1313 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1316 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1317 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1318 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1322 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1323 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1326 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1327 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1329 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1330 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1331 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1333 * Moose::Unsweetened
1334 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1336 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1337 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1340 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1344 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1345 methods during global destruction (doy)
1347 * Moose::Meta::Class
1348 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1349 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1350 consumption (Sartak)
1352 * Moose::Meta::Class
1353 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1354 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1357 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1358 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1361 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1362 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1364 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1366 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1370 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1371 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1372 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1375 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1376 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1377 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1380 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1382 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1383 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1384 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1387 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1388 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1389 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1390 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1392 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1393 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1394 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1397 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1400 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1401 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1402 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1406 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1407 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1409 * Moose::Meta::Class
1410 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1412 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1414 * Moose::Meta::Class
1415 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1416 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1419 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1420 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1423 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1424 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1427 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1430 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1432 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1433 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1436 * Moose::Meta::Class
1437 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1439 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1440 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1443 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1444 * More deprecations and renamings
1445 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1446 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1447 when an object is constructed)
1450 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1451 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1452 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1454 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1455 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1456 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1457 feature, and it works again.
1460 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1462 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1464 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1465 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1466 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1468 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1469 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1470 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1471 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1472 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1474 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1475 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1476 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1477 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1478 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1481 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1482 metaclass object. (hdp)
1484 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1485 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1486 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1487 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1488 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1489 point out this fact. (hdp)
1491 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1492 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1494 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1495 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1497 * Moose::Meta::Class
1498 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1499 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1500 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1501 called during instance construction were passed the
1502 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1503 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1505 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1506 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1509 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1510 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1511 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1514 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1515 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1516 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1517 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1518 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1520 - Moose::Meta::Class
1521 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1523 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1524 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1525 when an object is constructed)
1526 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1528 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1529 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1530 when an object is constructed)
1531 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1532 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1533 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1536 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1538 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1539 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1541 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1543 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1544 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1545 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1547 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1548 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1549 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1551 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1553 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1554 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1556 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1557 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1560 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1561 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1564 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1565 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1566 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1568 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1569 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1573 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1574 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1575 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1577 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1578 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1581 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1582 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1583 with recommended workarounds.
1585 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1586 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1588 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1589 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1590 (yes, spelled like that).
1592 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1593 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1595 * Moose::Meta::Class
1596 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1597 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1599 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1601 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1602 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1603 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1604 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1605 instead. Reported by doy.
1607 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1609 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1610 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1612 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1613 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1614 message) is now deprecated.
1615 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1616 often got it wrong. For example:
1618 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1620 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1624 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1625 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1626 bite you in weird cases.
1628 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1629 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1630 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1631 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1633 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1634 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1638 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1641 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1642 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1645 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1646 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1648 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1649 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1652 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1653 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1654 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1655 - added tests for this (stevan)
1657 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1658 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1659 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1660 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1664 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1665 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1666 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1667 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1669 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1670 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1671 - added tests for this (rafl)
1673 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1674 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1675 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1676 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1680 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1681 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1684 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1685 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1686 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1688 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1690 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1691 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1693 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1694 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1695 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1696 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1697 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1699 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1700 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1701 error message did not specify the attribute name
1704 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1706 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1708 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1709 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1710 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1712 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1713 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1716 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1718 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1719 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1720 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1721 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1723 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1725 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1726 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1727 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1728 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1730 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1731 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1732 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1734 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1735 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1736 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1737 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1738 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1740 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1741 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1742 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1743 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1744 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1746 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1747 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1748 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1749 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1750 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1751 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1753 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1754 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1755 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1756 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1757 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1758 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1760 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1761 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1763 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1764 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1765 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1766 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1768 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1769 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1772 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1776 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1777 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1779 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1780 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1781 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1782 guts. (nothingmuch).
1784 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1785 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1786 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1789 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1790 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1791 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1793 * Moose::Meta::Class
1794 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1797 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1798 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1800 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1801 * Moose::Unsweetened
1802 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1805 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1806 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1807 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1808 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1809 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1810 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1812 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1813 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1814 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1815 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1816 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1817 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1818 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1819 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1820 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1821 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1823 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1825 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1826 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1828 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1829 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1830 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1831 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1833 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1834 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1835 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1836 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1837 same methods for a single role did not work
1838 right (worked just fine with multiple
1840 - added test for this (stevan)
1842 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1843 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1844 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1847 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1848 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1849 - added test for this (t0m)
1852 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1853 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1854 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1856 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1857 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1858 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1859 - added test for this (t0m)
1861 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1862 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1863 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1864 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1865 - added test for this (perigrin)
1868 - create method for constructing a role
1869 dynamically (Sartak)
1870 - added test for this (Sartak)
1871 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1872 - added test for this (Sartak)
1875 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1877 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1878 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1879 methods is useful (Sartak)
1881 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1882 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1883 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1886 * Moose::Meta::Class
1887 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1888 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1889 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1890 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1891 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1892 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1895 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1896 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1898 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1899 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1900 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1901 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1902 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1904 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1906 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1907 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1908 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1911 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1912 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1913 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1914 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1915 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1916 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1919 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1920 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1921 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1922 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1923 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1924 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1925 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1926 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1927 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1928 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1929 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1931 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1932 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1935 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1936 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1937 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1938 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1939 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1941 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1943 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1944 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1945 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1947 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1948 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1950 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1951 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1952 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1953 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1956 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1957 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1959 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1961 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1962 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1964 * Moose::Meta::Class
1965 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1966 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1967 a required attribute
1969 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1970 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1971 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1972 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1974 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1975 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1977 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1978 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1979 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1980 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1981 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1982 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1983 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1984 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1986 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1987 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1988 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1990 * Roles and role application
1991 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1992 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1993 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1994 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1995 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1997 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1998 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2001 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2002 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2003 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2004 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2005 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2008 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2009 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2010 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2011 changes in the Moose internals.
2013 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2014 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2015 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2018 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2019 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2020 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2021 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2023 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2024 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2025 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2026 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2028 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2029 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2030 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2031 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2032 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2033 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2034 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2035 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2036 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2037 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2038 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2039 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2040 constraint implementations.
2042 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2046 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2047 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2048 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2049 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2050 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2051 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2052 - added tests for this (rafl)
2054 * Moose::Meta::Class
2055 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2056 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2057 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2058 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2059 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2060 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2061 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2062 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2065 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2066 - added tests for this (thepler)
2068 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2069 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2070 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2071 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2074 * Moose::Meta::Class
2075 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2076 * Moose::Meta::Method
2079 * Moose::Error::Default
2080 * Moose::Error::Croak
2081 * Moose::Error::Confess
2082 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2083 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2084 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2085 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2086 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2087 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2089 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2091 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2092 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2094 * Moose::Unsweetened
2095 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2096 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2097 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2099 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2100 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2101 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2102 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2103 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2106 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2107 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2109 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2110 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2111 several major changes in this release of Moose.

2158 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2159 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2160 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2161 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2162 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2163 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2165 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2166 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2168 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2170 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ

2191 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2192 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2194 - added test for this (t0m)
2197 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2198 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2199 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2202 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2203 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2205 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2208 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2210 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2246 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are

2286 ... this is not my day today ...
2288 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2289 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2290 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2291 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2292 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2295 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2296 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2297 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2298 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2299 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2302 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2304 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2305 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2334 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2337 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2338 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2339 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2340 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2341 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2342 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2343 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2344 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2345 - added tests for this
2347 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2348 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2349 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2450 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2451 - added more descriptive error message to help
2452 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2453 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2455 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2457 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2458 XS based functionality is now optional
2459 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2460 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2461 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2564 drink more coffee before
2565 doing release engineering
2567 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2682 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2684 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2685 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2724 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2726 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2937 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2938 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2939 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2975 - added tests for this
2978 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2979 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3021 - fixed how required methods are handled
3022 when they encounter overriden or modified
3023 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3024 - added tests for this
3026 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3027 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3028 the | always creates a union and so is
3029 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3030 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3032 - added more tests for this
3034 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3037 * Parameterized Types
3038 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3039 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3040 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3041 They can also be nested:
3042 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3043 And work with the type unions as well:
3044 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3046 * Better Framework Extendability
3047 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3048 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3049 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3050 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3053 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3054 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3055 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3056 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3059 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3061 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3062 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3215 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3216 prototypes for functions
3217 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3218 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3290 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3291 so that you can actually document your
3292 attributes and inspect them through the
3294 - added tests and docs for this
3296 * Moose::Meta::Class
3297 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3298 it will first look in for the class in the
3299 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3300 then default to just loading $name.
3301 - added tests and docs for this
3303 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3304 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3305 - added test for this

3310 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3311 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3313 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3314 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3317 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3319 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3320 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3321 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3324 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3325 !! for this developer release to work !!
3327 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3328 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3329 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3330 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3331 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3332 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3333 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3334 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3335 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3336 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3337 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3339 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3340 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3341 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3342 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3345 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3346 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3347 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3348 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3349 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3351 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3353 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3354 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3357 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3358 called unless they actually need to be.
3359 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3360 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3361 DEMOLISH method present.
3363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3364 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3365 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3366 type constraint, which allows for a
3367 hand optimized version of the type
3368 constraint to be used when possible.
3369 - Any internally created type constraints
3370 now provide an optimized version as well.
3372 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3374 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3375 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3376 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3378 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3379 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3380 your class namespace of these exported
3383 * Moose::Meta::Class
3384 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3385 comes up during global destruction

3395 - changed how we do type checks so that
3396 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3399 - moved accessor generation methods to
3400 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3401 conform to the API changes from
3404 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3405 - changed how constraints are compiled
3406 so that we do less recursion and more
3407 iteration. This makes the type check
3409 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3413 - created this from methods formerly found in
3414 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3416 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3417 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3420 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

3428 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3429 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3430 - added tests for this
3431 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3432 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3433 broke predicates in an ugly way.

3436 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3438 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3439 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3440 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3443 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3444 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3445 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3447 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3448 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3449 comments for more info.
3452 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3453 asked questions and common problems
3455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3456 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3457 - added tests for this
3459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3460 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3461 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3462 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3464 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3465 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3468 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3469 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3470 is much appreciated :)
3471 - added tests for this
3473 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3474 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3475 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3478 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3479 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3481 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3483 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3484 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3488 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3489 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3490 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3492 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3494 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3497 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3498 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3499 keywords because we need to localize them.
3500 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3502 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3503 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3504 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3507 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3510 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3511 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3512 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3515 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3516 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3517 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3519 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3521 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3522 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3523 bottom of your class file.
3526 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3529 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3531 - improved error message when loading modules so
3532 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3533 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3534 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3537 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3538 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3539 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3542 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3544 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3545 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3546 turn them on for you.
3547 - added tests for this
3548 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3549 in Moose::Meta::Class
3552 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3553 automatically turned on for you.
3554 - added tests for this
3557 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3558 - added tests for this
3559 - added some more edge case tests

3572 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3575 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3576 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3577 - This release works in combination with
3578 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3579 release because it uses the a new
3580 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3581 complete Role implementation. It has
3582 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3583 the the previous CPAN version. This
3584 release also lacks good updated docs,
3585 the official release will have updated docs.
3588 - refactored the keyword exports
3589 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3590 accepts more than one Role at a time
3591 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3592 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3595 - refactored the keyword exports
3596 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3597 accepts more than one Role at a time
3599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3600 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3601 string enumerations which can be used as
3603 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3606 - more careful checking of params to new()
3609 - much work done on the role composition
3610 - many new tests for conflict detection
3611 and composition edge cases
3612 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3613 looking at the tests
3615 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3616 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3617 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3619 * Moose::Meta::Class
3620 - some small changes to support the new
3622 - some small additions to support Roles
3624 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3625 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3627 - some small changes to support the new
3629 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3630 with the 'handles' option
3631 - added several tests for this
3632 - no docs for this yet
3634 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3636 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3637 thanks to chansen for this commit
3638 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3639 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3640 on a per-attribute basis
3641 - added tests for this
3642 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3643 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3644 experimental feature and probably not finished
3645 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3646 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3647 - added tests for this

3709 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3711 - added test for this
