1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
4 * replace two more eval { } calls with try { } (doy)
7 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
8 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
9 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
12 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
13 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
15 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
16 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
18 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
20 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
21 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
24 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
25 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
26 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
27 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
28 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
30 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
31 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
32 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
33 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
34 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
35 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
36 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
39 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
40 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
41 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
42 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
43 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
45 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
46 which were not receiving the value of
47 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
48 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
49 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
50 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
54 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
55 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
56 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
58 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
59 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
60 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
61 - added tests for this (Stevan)
64 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
65 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
66 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
69 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
70 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
71 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
73 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
74 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
75 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
78 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
79 class if you pass it options for
80 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
81 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
82 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
83 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
84 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
85 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
86 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
87 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
88 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
90 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
91 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
92 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
93 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
94 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
97 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
98 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
99 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
100 existing delegation API. (hdp)
102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
103 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
104 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
105 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
106 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
107 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
110 * Moose::Error::Croak
111 * Moose::Error::Confess
112 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
113 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
116 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
119 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
120 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
121 installing a broken sub. (doy)
124 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
127 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
128 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
129 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
131 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
132 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
133 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
134 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
135 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
137 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
138 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
141 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
143 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
144 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
147 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
148 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
151 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
152 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
153 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
156 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
157 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
158 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
159 using it for new code!
161 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
162 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
163 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
164 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
166 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
167 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
168 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
169 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
170 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
171 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
172 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
173 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
176 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
179 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
180 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
183 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
184 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
186 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
187 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
188 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
191 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
192 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
193 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
196 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
197 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
199 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
200 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
201 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
204 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
206 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
207 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
208 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
209 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
211 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
213 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
217 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
218 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
220 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
221 associated_methods. (hdp)
222 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
223 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
224 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
225 misspelled) arguments
227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
228 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
229 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
230 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
232 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
233 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
234 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
236 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
240 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
241 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
244 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
245 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
247 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
249 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
250 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
252 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
253 * Moose::Manual::Types
254 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
255 string parsing rathole (mst)
257 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
258 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
259 using plain objects instead
261 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
262 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
265 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
267 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
268 three times today (perigrin)
269 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
270 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
273 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
274 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
275 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
278 - A role's required methods are now represented by
279 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
280 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
281 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
282 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
283 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
286 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
287 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
288 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
289 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
292 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
294 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
297 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
299 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
302 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
303 during global destruction. This method has been made more
304 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
308 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
309 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
312 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
313 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
315 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
316 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
317 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
320 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
322 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
323 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
326 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
330 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
331 methods during global destruction (doy)
334 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
335 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
339 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
340 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
343 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
344 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
347 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
348 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
350 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
352 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
356 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
357 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
358 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
361 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
362 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
363 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
366 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
368 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
369 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
370 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
373 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
374 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
375 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
376 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
378 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
379 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
380 of the Moose core (Sartak)
383 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
386 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
387 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
388 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
392 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
393 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
396 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
398 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
401 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
402 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
405 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
406 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
409 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
410 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
413 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
416 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
418 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
419 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
423 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
425 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
426 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
429 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
430 * More deprecations and renamings
431 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
432 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
433 when an object is constructed)
436 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
437 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
438 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
441 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
442 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
443 feature, and it works again.
446 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
448 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
450 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
451 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
452 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
454 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
455 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
456 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
457 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
458 message. Test provided by perigrin.
460 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
461 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
462 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
463 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
464 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
467 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
468 metaclass object. (hdp)
470 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
471 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
472 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
473 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
474 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
475 point out this fact. (hdp)
477 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
478 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
480 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
481 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
484 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
485 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
486 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
487 called during instance construction were passed the
488 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
489 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
491 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
492 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
495 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
496 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
497 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
500 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
501 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
502 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
503 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
504 them, but they are not for "public" use.
507 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
509 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
510 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
511 when an object is constructed)
512 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
514 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
515 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
516 when an object is constructed)
517 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
518 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
519 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
522 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
524 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
525 * No changes from 0.72_01.
527 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
529 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
530 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
531 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
533 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
534 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
535 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
537 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
539 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
540 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
542 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
543 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
546 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
547 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
550 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
551 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
552 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
554 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
555 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
559 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
560 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
561 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
563 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
564 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
567 * Moose::Manual::Delta
568 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
569 with recommended workarounds.
571 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
572 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
574 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
575 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
576 (yes, spelled like that).
578 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
579 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
582 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
583 changes in latest Class::MOP.
585 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
587 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
588 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
589 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
590 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
591 instead. Reported by doy.
593 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
595 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
596 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
598 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
599 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
600 message) is now deprecated.
601 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
602 often got it wrong. For example:
604 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
606 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
610 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
611 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
612 bite you in weird cases.
614 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
615 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
616 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
619 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
620 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
624 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
627 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
628 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
631 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
632 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
634 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
635 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
638 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
639 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
640 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
641 - added tests for this (stevan)
643 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
644 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
645 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
646 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
650 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
651 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
652 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
653 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
655 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
656 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
657 - added tests for this (rafl)
659 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
660 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
661 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
662 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
666 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
667 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
670 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
671 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
672 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
674 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
676 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
677 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
680 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
681 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
682 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
683 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
685 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
686 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
687 error message did not specify the attribute name
690 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
692 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
694 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
695 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
696 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
698 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
699 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
702 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
704 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
705 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
706 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
707 of fixes and formatting improvements.

711 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
712 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
713 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
714 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
716 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
717 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
718 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
720 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
721 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
722 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
723 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
724 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
726 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
727 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
728 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
729 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
730 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
732 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
733 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
734 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
735 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
736 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
737 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
739 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
740 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
741 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
742 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
743 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
744 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
746 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
747 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
749 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
750 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
751 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
752 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
754 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
755 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
758 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
762 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
763 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
765 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
766 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
767 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
770 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
771 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
772 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
774 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
775 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
776 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
777 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
780 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
783 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
784 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
786 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
788 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
791 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
792 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
793 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
794 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
795 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
796 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
798 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
799 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
800 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
801 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
802 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
803 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
804 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
805 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
806 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
807 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
809 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
811 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
812 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
815 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
816 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
817 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
819 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
820 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
821 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
822 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
823 same methods for a single role did not work
824 right (worked just fine with multiple
826 - added test for this (stevan)
828 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
829 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
830 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
833 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
834 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
835 - added test for this (t0m)
838 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
839 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
840 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
842 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
843 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
844 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
845 - added test for this (t0m)
847 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
848 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
849 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
850 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
851 - added test for this (perigrin)
854 - create method for constructing a role
856 - added test for this (Sartak)
857 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
858 - added test for this (Sartak)
861 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
863 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
864 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
865 methods is useful (Sartak)
867 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
868 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
869 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
873 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
874 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
875 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
876 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
877 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
878 - added tests for this (jdv79)
881 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
882 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
884 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
885 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
886 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
887 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
888 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
890 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
892 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
893 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
894 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
897 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
898 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
899 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
900 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
901 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
902 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
905 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
906 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
907 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
908 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
909 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
910 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
911 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
912 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
913 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
914 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
915 future. (jnapiorkowski)
917 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
918 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
921 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
922 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
923 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
924 type. (jnapiorkowski)
925 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
927 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
929 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
930 predicate, and link to more details sections in
931 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
933 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
934 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
936 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
937 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
938 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
939 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
942 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
943 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
945 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
947 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
948 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
951 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
952 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
955 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
956 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
957 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
958 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
960 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
961 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
963 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
964 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
965 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
966 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
967 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
968 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
969 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
970 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
972 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
973 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
974 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
976 * Roles and role application
977 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
978 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
979 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
980 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
981 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
983 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
984 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
987 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
988 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
989 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
990 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
991 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
994 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
995 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
996 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
997 changes in the Moose internals.
999 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1000 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1001 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1004 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1005 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1006 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1007 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1009 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1010 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1011 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1012 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1014 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1015 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1016 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1017 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1018 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1019 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1020 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1021 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1022 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1023 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1024 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1025 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1026 constraint implementations.
1028 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1032 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1033 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1034 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1035 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1036 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1037 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1038 - added tests for this (rafl)
1040 * Moose::Meta::Class
1041 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1042 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1043 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1044 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1045 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1046 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1047 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1048 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1051 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1052 - added tests for this (thepler)
1054 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1055 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1056 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1057 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1060 * Moose::Meta::Class
1061 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1062 * Moose::Meta::Method
1065 * Moose::Error::Default
1066 * Moose::Error::Croak
1067 * Moose::Error::Confess
1068 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1069 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1070 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1071 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1072 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1073 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1075 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1077 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1078 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1080 * Moose::Unsweetened
1081 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1082 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1083 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1085 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1086 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1087 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1088 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1089 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1092 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1093 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1095 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1096 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1097 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1098 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1101 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1103 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1104 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1106 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1109 - Various bug fixes.
1111 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1112 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1114 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1116 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1117 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1118 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1119 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1120 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1121 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1123 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1124 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1125 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1127 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1128 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1129 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1132 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1133 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1134 dependency to 0.64_07.
1136 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1137 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1138 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1140 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1141 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1145 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1146 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1147 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1148 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1149 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1151 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1152 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1154 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1156 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1157 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1161 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1162 method when that method was provided by another role being
1163 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1164 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1166 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1168 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1169 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1171 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1172 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1173 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1174 - added test for this (t0m)
1176 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1177 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1178 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1180 - added test for this (t0m)
1183 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1184 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1185 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1188 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1189 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1191 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1193 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1194 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1196 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1197 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1198 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1200 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1201 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1204 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1205 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1206 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1207 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1211 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1212 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1213 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1216 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1217 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1218 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1219 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1222 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1226 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1227 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1228 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1230 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1231 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1232 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1233 created so that the process can be more easily
1234 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1236 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1237 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1238 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1239 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1241 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1242 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1245 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1246 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1248 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1249 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1250 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1252 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1253 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1254 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1256 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1257 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1259 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1260 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1263 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1264 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1268 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1269 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1271 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1272 ... this is not my day today ...
1274 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1275 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1276 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1277 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1278 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1281 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1282 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1283 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1284 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1285 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1288 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1290 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1291 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1292 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1293 this is not ever something you want to do
1294 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1295 - added tests for this (stevan)
1298 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1300 - added test for this
1302 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1303 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1304 - added tests for this (wreis)
1306 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1307 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1308 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1309 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1311 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1312 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1313 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1316 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1318 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1320 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1323 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1324 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1325 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1326 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1327 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1328 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1329 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1330 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1331 - added tests for this
1333 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1334 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1335 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1336 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1338 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1340 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1341 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1342 - added tests for this (sartak)
1343 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1344 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1347 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1349 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1350 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1352 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1353 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1354 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

1521 ->body when looping through the
1522 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1524 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1525 eating the $@ values, and so not
1526 working correctly, it still kind of
1527 eats them, but so does vanilla perl

1668 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1670 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2020 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2023 * Parameterized Types
2024 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2025 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2026 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2027 They can also be nested:
2028 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2029 And work with the type unions as well:
2030 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2032 * Better Framework Extendability
2033 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2034 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2035 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2036 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2039 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2040 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2041 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2042 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2045 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~

2097 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2099 - added tests for this
2101 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2130 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2131 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2180 (but not changing the handles option)
2181 - added tests and docs for this
2184 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2185 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2188 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2189 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2190 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2196 the other side (perigrin)
2198 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2199 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2200 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2201 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2202 prototypes for functions
2203 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2204 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2205 - added tests and docs for this

2213 - tests added for this
2214 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2217 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2218 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2219 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2220 - added tests for this
2222 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2224 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2243 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2245 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2246 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2248 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2249 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2250 so this release is just to fix that.
2253 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2254 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2255 (thanks to konobi for this)
2256 - added tests and docs
2258 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2266 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2267 functions to facilitate introspection.
2269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2270 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2271 to build the list of delegated methods
2272 correctly (and not override important
2273 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2275 - added tests and docs for this
2276 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2277 so that you can actually document your
2278 attributes and inspect them through the
2280 - added tests and docs for this
2282 * Moose::Meta::Class
2283 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2284 it will first look in for the class in the
2285 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2286 then default to just loading $name.
2287 - added tests and docs for this
2289 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2290 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2291 - added test for this
2294 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2295 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2296 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2297 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2299 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2300 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2303 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2305 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2306 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2307 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2310 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2311 !! for this developer release to work !!
2313 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2314 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2315 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2316 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2317 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2318 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2319 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2320 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2321 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2322 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2323 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2325 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2326 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2327 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2328 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2331 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2332 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2333 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2334 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2335 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2337 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2339 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2340 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2343 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2344 called unless they actually need to be.
2345 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2346 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2347 DEMOLISH method present.
2349 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2350 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2351 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2352 type constraint, which allows for a
2353 hand optimized version of the type
2354 constraint to be used when possible.
2355 - Any internally created type constraints
2356 now provide an optimized version as well.
2358 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2360 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2361 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2362 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2364 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2365 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2366 your class namespace of these exported
2369 * Moose::Meta::Class
2370 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2371 comes up during global destruction
2373 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2377 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2380 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2381 - changed how we do type checks so that
2382 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2385 - moved accessor generation methods to
2386 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2387 conform to the API changes from
2390 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2391 - changed how constraints are compiled
2392 so that we do less recursion and more
2393 iteration. This makes the type check
2395 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2398 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2399 - created this from methods formerly found in
2400 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2402 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2403 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2405 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2406 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2408 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2409 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2411 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2413 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2414 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2415 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2416 - added tests for this
2417 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2418 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2419 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2420 - removed tests for this
2422 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2424 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2425 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2426 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2429 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2430 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2431 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2433 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2434 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2435 comments for more info.
2438 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2439 asked questions and common problems
2441 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2442 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2443 - added tests for this
2445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2446 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2447 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2448 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2450 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2451 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2454 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2455 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2456 is much appreciated :)
2457 - added tests for this
2459 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2460 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2461 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2465 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2467 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2469 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2470 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2474 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2475 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2476 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2478 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2480 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2483 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2484 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2485 keywords because we need to localize them.
2486 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2488 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2489 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2490 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2493 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2496 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2497 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2498 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2501 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2502 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2503 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2505 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2507 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2508 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2509 bottom of your class file.
2512 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2515 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2517 - improved error message when loading modules so
2518 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2519 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2520 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2523 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2524 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2525 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2527 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2528 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2530 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2531 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2532 turn them on for you.
2533 - added tests for this
2534 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2535 in Moose::Meta::Class

2562 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2563 - This release works in combination with
2564 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2565 release because it uses the a new
2566 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2567 complete Role implementation. It has
2568 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2569 the the previous CPAN version. This
2570 release also lacks good updated docs,
2571 the official release will have updated docs.
2574 - refactored the keyword exports
2575 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2576 accepts more than one Role at a time

2587 string enumerations which can be used as
2589 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2592 - more careful checking of params to new()
2595 - much work done on the role composition
2596 - many new tests for conflict detection
2597 and composition edge cases
2598 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2599 looking at the tests

2624 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2625 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2626 on a per-attribute basis
2627 - added tests for this
2628 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2629 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2630 experimental feature and probably not finished

2632 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2633 - added tests for this
