1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
9 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual
10 goal of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
11 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
13 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
14 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
15 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
16 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
17 message. Test provided by perigrin.
19 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
20 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
21 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's suggestion
22 to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
23 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
26 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
27 metaclass object. (hdp)
29 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
30 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
31 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
32 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
33 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and point out
36 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
37 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
40 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
41 - Attribute triggers now consistently do not receive the meta-attribute
42 object as an argument. Previously, triggers called during instance
43 construction were passed the meta-attribute, but triggers called by
44 normal accessors were not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne.
47 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
48 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
51 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
52 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
53 Moose::Policy::PBP; recommend MooseX::PBP instead. (hdp)
55 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
56 * No changes from 0.72_01.
58 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
60 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
61 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
62 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
64 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
65 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
66 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
68 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
70 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
71 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
73 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
74 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
77 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
78 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
81 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
82 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
83 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
85 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
86 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
90 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
91 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
92 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
94 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
95 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
98 * Moose::Manual::Delta
99 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
100 with recommended workarounds.
102 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
103 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
105 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
106 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
107 (yes, spelled like that).
109 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
110 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
113 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
114 changes in latest Class::MOP.
116 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
118 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
119 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
120 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
121 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
122 instead. Reported by doy.
124 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
126 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
127 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
129 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
130 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
131 message) is now deprecated.
132 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
133 often got it wrong. For example:
135 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
137 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
141 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
142 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
143 bite you in weird cases.
145 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
146 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
147 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
150 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
151 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
155 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
158 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
159 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
162 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
163 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
165 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
166 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
169 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
170 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
171 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
172 - added tests for this (stevan)
174 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
175 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
176 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
177 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
181 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
182 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
183 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
184 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
186 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
187 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
188 - added tests for this (rafl)
190 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
191 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
192 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
193 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
197 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
198 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
201 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
202 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
203 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
205 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
207 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
208 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
211 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
212 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
213 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
214 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
216 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
217 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
218 error message did not specify the attribute name
221 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
223 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
225 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
226 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
227 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
229 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
230 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
233 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
235 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
236 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
237 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
238 of fixes and formatting improvements.
240 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
242 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
243 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
244 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
245 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
247 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
248 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
249 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
251 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
252 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
253 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
254 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
255 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
257 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
258 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
259 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
260 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
261 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
264 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
265 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
266 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
267 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
268 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
270 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
271 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
272 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
273 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
274 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
275 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
277 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
278 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
280 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
281 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
282 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
283 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
285 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
286 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
289 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
293 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
294 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
296 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
297 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
298 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
301 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
302 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
303 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
306 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
307 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
308 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
311 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
314 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
315 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
317 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
319 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
322 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
323 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
324 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
325 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
326 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
327 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
330 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
331 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
332 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
333 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
334 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
335 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
336 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
337 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
338 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
340 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
342 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
343 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
345 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
346 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
347 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
348 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
350 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
351 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
352 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
353 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
354 same methods for a single role did not work
355 right (worked just fine with multiple
357 - added test for this (stevan)
359 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
360 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
361 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
364 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
365 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
366 - added test for this (t0m)
369 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
370 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
371 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
373 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
374 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
375 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
376 - added test for this (t0m)
378 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
379 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
380 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
381 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
382 - added test for this (perigrin)
385 - create method for constructing a role
387 - added test for this (Sartak)
388 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
389 - added test for this (Sartak)
392 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
394 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
395 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
396 methods is useful (Sartak)
398 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
399 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
400 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
404 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
405 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
406 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
407 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
408 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
409 - added tests for this (jdv79)
412 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
413 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
415 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
416 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
417 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
418 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
419 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
421 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
423 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
424 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
425 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
428 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
429 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
430 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
431 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
432 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
433 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
436 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
437 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
438 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
439 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
440 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
441 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
442 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
443 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
444 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
445 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
446 future. (jnapiorkowski)
448 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
449 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
452 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
453 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
454 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
455 type. (jnapiorkowski)
456 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
458 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
460 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
461 predicate, and link to more details sections in
462 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
464 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
465 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
467 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
468 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
469 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
470 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
473 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
474 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
476 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
478 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
479 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
482 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
483 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
486 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
487 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
488 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
489 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
491 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
492 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
494 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
495 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
496 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
497 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
498 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
499 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
500 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
501 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
503 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
504 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
505 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
507 * Roles and role application
508 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
509 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
510 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
511 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
512 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
514 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
515 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
518 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
519 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
520 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
521 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
522 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
525 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
526 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
527 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
528 changes in the Moose internals.
530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
531 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
532 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
535 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
536 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
537 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
538 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
540 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
541 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
542 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
543 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
545 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
546 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
547 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
548 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
549 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
550 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
551 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
552 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
553 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
554 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
555 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
556 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
557 constraint implementations.
559 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
563 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
564 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
565 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
566 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
567 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
568 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
569 - added tests for this (rafl)
572 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
573 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
574 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
575 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
576 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
577 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
578 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
579 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
582 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
583 - added tests for this (thepler)
585 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
586 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
587 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
588 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
592 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
593 * Moose::Meta::Method
596 * Moose::Error::Default
597 * Moose::Error::Croak
598 * Moose::Error::Confess
599 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
600 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
601 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
602 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
603 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
604 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
606 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
608 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
609 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
612 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
613 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
614 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
617 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
618 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
619 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
620 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
623 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
624 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
626 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
627 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
628 several major changes in this release of Moose.
629 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
632 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
634 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
635 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
637 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
642 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
643 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
645 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
647 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
648 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
649 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
650 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
651 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
652 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
654 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
655 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
656 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
658 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
659 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
660 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
663 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
664 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
665 dependency to 0.64_07.
667 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
668 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
669 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
671 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
672 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
675 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
676 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
677 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
678 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
679 coincidental exception. (t0m).

803 ... this is not my day today ...
805 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
806 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
807 clone_and_inherit options still works for
808 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
809 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
812 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
813 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
814 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

819 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
821 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
822 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

854 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
855 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
856 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
857 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
858 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
859 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
860 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
861 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
862 - added tests for this
864 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1398 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1400 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1401 - refactored how these types are handled so they
1402 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
1406 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
1408 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1409 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
1410 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
1412 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

1431 types without having to explictly define them
1432 - added tests for this
1434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1435 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
1436 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
1438 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
1439 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1440 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
1441 they should inherit the parent's coercion

1444 a single type at different times instead of
1445 having to do it all in one place
1446 - added tests for this
1448 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1449 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
1450 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
1453 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1454 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1455 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1456 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

1460 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1461 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1462 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

1470 - added docs for this
1472 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1473 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
1474 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
1475 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
1476 instead it will just return undef.
1477 - added docs for this

1492 - added tests for this
1495 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1496 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
1499 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
1500 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
1501 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
1503 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

1535 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1538 - fixed how required methods are handled
1539 when they encounter overriden or modified
1540 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1541 - added tests for this
1543 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1544 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1545 the | always creates a union and so is
1546 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1547 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1549 - added more tests for this
1551 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1554 * Parameterized Types
1555 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1556 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1557 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1558 They can also be nested:
1559 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1560 And work with the type unions as well:
1561 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1563 * Better Framework Extendability
1564 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1565 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1566 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1567 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1570 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1571 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1572 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1573 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1576 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1578 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1579 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
1582 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
1583 set it to inline the accessors

1610 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
1612 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
1613 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
1614 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
1615 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
1617 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
1618 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
1619 - updated the accompanying test as well
1621 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
1622 +++ with new features added as well +++
1624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1625 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
1626 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
1627 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
1628 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
1630 - added tests for this
1632 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1633 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
1634 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
1635 can track where the type constraints are created
1637 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1638 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1639 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1641 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1642 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
1643 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
1644 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

1658 (thanks to shlomif).
1660 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1661 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
1662 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
1663 - added tests for this

1666 - added tests for this
1668 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1669 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1670 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

1711 (but not changing the handles option)
1712 - added tests and docs for this
1715 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1716 so that required methods can come from superclasses
1717 - adjusted tests for this
1719 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1720 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1721 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1727 the other side (perigrin)
1729 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1730 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1731 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1732 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1733 prototypes for functions
1734 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1735 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1745 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1748 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1749 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1750 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1751 - added tests for this
1753 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1755 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1776 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1777 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1779 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1780 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1781 so this release is just to fix that.
1784 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1785 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1786 (thanks to konobi for this)
1787 - added tests and docs
1789 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

1797 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1798 functions to facilitate introspection.
1800 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1801 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1802 to build the list of delegated methods
1803 correctly (and not override important
1804 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1806 - added tests and docs for this
1807 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1808 so that you can actually document your
1809 attributes and inspect them through the
1811 - added tests and docs for this
1813 * Moose::Meta::Class
1814 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1815 it will first look in for the class in the
1816 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1817 then default to just loading $name.
1818 - added tests and docs for this
1820 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1821 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1822 - added test for this
1825 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1826 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1827 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1828 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1830 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1831 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1834 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1836 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1837 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1838 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1841 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1842 !! for this developer release to work !!
1844 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1845 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1846 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1847 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1848 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1849 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1850 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1851 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1852 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1853 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1854 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1856 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1857 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1858 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1859 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1862 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1863 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1864 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1865 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1866 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1868 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1870 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1871 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1874 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1875 called unless they actually need to be.
1876 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1877 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1878 DEMOLISH method present.
1880 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1881 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1882 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1883 type constraint, which allows for a
1884 hand optimized version of the type
1885 constraint to be used when possible.
1886 - Any internally created type constraints
1887 now provide an optimized version as well.
1889 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1891 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1892 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1893 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1896 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1897 your class namespace of these exported
1900 * Moose::Meta::Class
1901 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1902 comes up during global destruction
1904 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1908 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1911 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1912 - changed how we do type checks so that
1913 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1916 - moved accessor generation methods to
1917 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1918 conform to the API changes from
1921 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1922 - changed how constraints are compiled
1923 so that we do less recursion and more
1924 iteration. This makes the type check
1926 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1929 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1930 - created this from methods formerly found in
1931 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1933 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1934 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1936 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1937 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1939 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1940 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1942 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1944 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1945 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1946 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1947 - added tests for this
1948 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1949 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1950 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1951 - removed tests for this
1953 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1955 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1956 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1957 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1960 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1961 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1962 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1964 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1965 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1966 comments for more info.
1969 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1970 asked questions and common problems
1972 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1973 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1974 - added tests for this
1976 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1977 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1978 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1979 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1981 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1982 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1985 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1986 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1987 is much appreciated :)
1988 - added tests for this
1990 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1991 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1992 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1995 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1996 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1998 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2000 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2001 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2005 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2006 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2007 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2009 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2011 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2014 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2015 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2016 keywords because we need to localize them.
2017 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2019 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2020 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2021 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2024 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2027 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2028 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2029 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2032 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2033 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2034 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2036 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2038 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2039 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2040 bottom of your class file.
2043 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2046 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2048 - improved error message when loading modules so
2049 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2050 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2051 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2054 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2055 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2056 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2058 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2059 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2061 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2062 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2063 turn them on for you.

2094 - This release works in combination with
2095 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2096 release because it uses the a new
2097 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2098 complete Role implementation. It has
2099 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2100 the the previous CPAN version. This
2101 release also lacks good updated docs,
2102 the official release will have updated docs.
2105 - refactored the keyword exports
2106 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2107 accepts more than one Role at a time
2108 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2109 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2112 - refactored the keyword exports
2113 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2114 accepts more than one Role at a time
2116 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2117 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2118 string enumerations which can be used as
2120 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2123 - more careful checking of params to new()
2126 - much work done on the role composition
2127 - many new tests for conflict detection
2128 and composition edge cases
2129 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2130 looking at the tests
2132 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2133 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2134 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2136 * Moose::Meta::Class
2137 - some small changes to support the new
2139 - some small additions to support Roles
2141 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2142 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2144 - some small changes to support the new
2146 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2147 with the 'handles' option
2148 - added several tests for this
2149 - no docs for this yet

2153 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2154 thanks to chansen for this commit
2155 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2156 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2157 on a per-attribute basis
2158 - added tests for this
2159 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2160 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2161 experimental feature and probably not finished
2162 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2163 more details, or ask about it on #moose
