1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
9 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
10 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
12 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
13 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
18 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
19 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
20 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
23 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
24 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
26 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
27 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
29 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
30 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
31 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
38 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
39 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
40 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
42 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
43 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
44 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
47 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
48 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
49 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
51 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
52 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
53 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
55 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
56 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
60 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
61 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
62 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
64 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
65 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
66 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
67 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
69 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
73 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
74 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
77 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
78 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
80 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
84 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
85 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
86 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
88 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
92 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
93 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
97 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
98 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
99 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
101 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
102 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
103 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
105 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
109 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
111 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
115 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
117 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
118 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
123 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
124 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
126 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
127 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
128 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
129 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
130 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
132 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
133 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
134 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
135 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
137 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
141 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
142 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
147 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
149 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
151 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
156 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
158 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
162 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
163 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
164 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
166 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
167 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
168 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
169 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
171 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
172 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
173 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
174 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
175 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
178 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
183 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
184 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
185 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
186 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
187 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
190 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
194 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
197 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
198 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
202 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
203 function (not just method). (doy)
207 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
208 and aren't easily installable/testable.
210 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
214 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
215 to be overridden more easily (doy).
217 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
221 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
222 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
224 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
228 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
229 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
230 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
232 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
236 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
237 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
238 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
240 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
241 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
245 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
246 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
248 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
249 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
253 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
254 is applied to a class (t0m).
256 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
257 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
259 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
262 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
263 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
265 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
266 be much more robust. (doy)
268 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
270 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
273 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
277 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
278 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
280 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
284 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
285 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
287 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
290 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
291 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
292 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
294 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
295 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
296 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
299 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
301 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
305 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
306 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
310 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
312 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
316 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
317 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
321 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
322 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
326 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
328 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
332 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
333 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
337 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
338 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
342 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
343 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
345 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
349 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
350 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
351 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
354 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
358 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
359 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
360 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
361 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
363 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
367 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
368 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
369 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
373 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
376 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
380 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
381 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
382 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
386 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
387 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
389 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
390 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
391 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
392 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
394 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
398 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
402 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
403 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
405 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
406 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
407 - Moose::Util::does_role
408 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
409 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
410 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
412 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
416 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
417 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
418 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
421 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
425 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
426 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
429 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
433 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
434 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
437 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
441 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
443 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
444 class. (Dave Rolsky).
446 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
447 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
448 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
450 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
451 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
452 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
455 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
456 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
458 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
459 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
460 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
462 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
464 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
465 substr et al, again. (sorear)
467 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
469 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
472 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
473 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
475 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
476 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
478 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
479 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
480 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
481 dependencies installed.
483 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
484 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
487 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
489 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
493 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
495 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
496 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
497 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
500 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
501 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
503 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
504 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
507 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
508 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
509 others. (nothingmuch)
511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
512 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
513 remove_accessors. (doy)
515 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
516 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
517 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
519 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
520 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
522 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
524 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
525 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
528 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
529 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
531 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
532 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
534 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
536 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
537 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
541 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
542 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
543 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
544 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
546 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
547 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
548 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
549 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
550 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
551 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
552 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
555 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
556 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
557 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
558 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
559 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
561 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
562 which were not receiving the value of
563 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
564 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
565 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
566 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
570 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
571 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
572 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
573 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
574 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
577 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
578 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
579 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
580 - added tests for this (Stevan)
583 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
584 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
585 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
588 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
589 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
590 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
592 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
593 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
594 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
597 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
598 class if you pass it options for
599 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
600 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
601 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
602 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
603 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
604 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
605 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
606 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
607 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
609 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
610 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
611 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
612 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
613 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
616 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
617 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
618 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
619 existing delegation API. (hdp)
621 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
622 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
623 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
624 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
625 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
626 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
629 * Moose::Error::Croak
630 * Moose::Error::Confess
631 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
632 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
635 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
638 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
639 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
640 installing a broken sub. (doy)
643 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
646 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
647 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
648 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
650 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
651 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
652 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
653 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
654 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
656 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
657 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
660 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
662 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
663 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
666 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
667 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
669 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
670 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
671 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
672 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
674 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
675 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
676 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
677 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
678 using it for new code!
680 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
681 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
682 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
683 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
685 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
686 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
687 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
688 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
689 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
690 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
691 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
692 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
695 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
698 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
699 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
702 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
703 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
705 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
706 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
707 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
710 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
711 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
712 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
715 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
716 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
719 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
720 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
723 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
724 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
725 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
726 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
727 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
728 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
730 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
732 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
735 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
736 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
737 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
739 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
740 associated_methods. (hdp)
741 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
742 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
743 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
744 misspelled) arguments
746 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
747 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
748 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
749 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
751 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
752 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
753 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
755 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
758 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
759 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
760 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
763 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
764 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
766 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
768 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
769 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
771 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
772 * Moose::Manual::Types
773 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
774 string parsing rathole (mst)
776 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
777 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
778 using plain objects instead
780 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
781 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
784 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
786 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
787 three times today (perigrin)
788 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
789 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
791 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
792 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
793 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
794 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
797 - A role's required methods are now represented by
798 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
799 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
800 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
801 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
802 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
805 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
806 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
807 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
808 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
811 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
813 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
816 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
818 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
821 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
822 during global destruction. This method has been made more
823 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
827 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
828 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
831 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
832 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
834 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
835 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
836 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
839 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
841 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
842 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
845 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
849 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
850 methods during global destruction (doy)
853 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
854 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
858 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
859 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
862 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
863 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
866 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
867 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
869 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
871 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
875 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
876 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
877 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
880 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
881 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
882 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
885 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
887 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
888 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
889 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
892 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
893 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
894 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
895 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
897 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
898 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
899 of the Moose core (Sartak)
902 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
905 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
906 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
907 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
911 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
912 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
915 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
917 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
920 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
921 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
924 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
925 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
928 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
929 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
932 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
935 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
937 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
938 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
942 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
944 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
945 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
948 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
949 * More deprecations and renamings
950 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
951 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
952 when an object is constructed)
955 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
956 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
957 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
959 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
960 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
961 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
962 feature, and it works again.
965 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
967 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
969 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
970 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
971 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
973 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
974 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
975 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
976 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
977 message. Test provided by perigrin.
979 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
980 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
981 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
982 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
983 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
986 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
987 metaclass object. (hdp)
989 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
990 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
991 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
992 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
993 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
994 point out this fact. (hdp)
996 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
997 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
999 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1000 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1002 * Moose::Meta::Class
1003 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1004 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1005 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1006 called during instance construction were passed the
1007 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1008 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1010 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1011 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1014 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1015 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1016 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1019 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1020 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1021 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1022 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1023 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1025 - Moose::Meta::Class
1026 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1028 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1029 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1030 when an object is constructed)
1031 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1033 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1034 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1035 when an object is constructed)
1036 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1037 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1038 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1041 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1043 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1044 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1046 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1048 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1049 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1050 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1052 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1053 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1054 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1056 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1058 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1059 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1061 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1062 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1065 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1066 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1069 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1070 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1071 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1073 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1074 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1078 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1079 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1080 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1082 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1083 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1086 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1087 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1088 with recommended workarounds.
1090 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1091 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1093 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1094 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1095 (yes, spelled like that).
1097 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1098 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1100 * Moose::Meta::Class
1101 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1102 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1104 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1107 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1108 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1109 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1110 instead. Reported by doy.
1112 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1114 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1115 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1117 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1118 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1119 message) is now deprecated.
1120 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1121 often got it wrong. For example:
1123 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1125 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1129 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1130 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1131 bite you in weird cases.
1133 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1134 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1135 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1136 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1138 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1139 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1143 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1146 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1147 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1150 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1151 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1153 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1154 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1157 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1158 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1159 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1160 - added tests for this (stevan)
1162 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1163 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1164 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1165 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1169 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1170 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1171 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1172 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1174 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1175 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1176 - added tests for this (rafl)
1178 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1179 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1180 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1181 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1185 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1186 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1189 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1190 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1191 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1193 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1195 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1196 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1198 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1199 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1200 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1201 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1202 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1205 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1206 error message did not specify the attribute name
1209 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1211 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1213 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1214 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1215 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1218 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1221 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1223 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1224 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1225 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1226 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1228 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1230 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1231 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1232 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1233 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1235 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1236 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1237 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1239 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1240 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1241 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1242 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1243 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1245 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1246 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1247 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1248 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1249 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1251 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1252 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1253 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1254 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1255 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1256 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1258 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1259 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1260 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1261 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1262 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1263 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1265 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1266 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1268 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1269 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1270 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1271 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1273 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1274 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1277 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1281 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1282 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1284 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1285 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1286 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1287 guts. (nothingmuch).
1289 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1290 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1291 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1293 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1294 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1295 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1296 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1298 * Moose::Meta::Class
1299 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1302 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1303 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1305 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1306 * Moose::Unsweetened
1307 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1310 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1311 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1312 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1313 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1314 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1315 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1318 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1319 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1320 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1321 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1322 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1323 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1324 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1325 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1326 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1328 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1330 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1331 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1333 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1334 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1335 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1336 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1338 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1339 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1340 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1341 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1342 same methods for a single role did not work
1343 right (worked just fine with multiple
1345 - added test for this (stevan)
1347 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1348 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1349 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1352 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1353 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1354 - added test for this (t0m)
1357 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1358 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1359 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1361 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1362 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1363 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1364 - added test for this (t0m)
1366 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1367 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1368 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1369 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1370 - added test for this (perigrin)
1373 - create method for constructing a role
1374 dynamically (Sartak)
1375 - added test for this (Sartak)
1376 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1377 - added test for this (Sartak)
1380 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1382 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1383 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1384 methods is useful (Sartak)
1386 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1387 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1388 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1391 * Moose::Meta::Class
1392 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1393 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1394 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1395 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1396 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1397 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1400 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1401 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1403 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1404 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1405 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1406 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1407 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1409 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1411 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1412 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1413 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1416 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1417 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1418 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1419 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1420 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1421 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1424 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1425 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1426 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1427 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1428 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1429 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1430 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1431 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1432 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1433 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1434 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1436 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1437 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1440 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1441 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1442 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1443 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1444 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1446 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1448 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1449 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1450 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1452 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1453 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1456 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1457 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1458 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1461 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1462 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1464 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1466 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1467 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1469 * Moose::Meta::Class
1470 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1471 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1472 a required attribute
1474 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1475 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1476 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1477 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1479 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1480 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1482 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1483 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1484 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1485 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1486 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1487 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1488 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1489 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1491 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1492 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1493 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1495 * Roles and role application
1496 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1497 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1498 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1499 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1500 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1502 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1503 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1506 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1507 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1508 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1509 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1510 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1513 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1514 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1515 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1516 changes in the Moose internals.
1518 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1519 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1520 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1523 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1524 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1525 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1526 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1528 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1529 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1530 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1531 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1533 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1534 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1535 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1536 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1537 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1538 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1539 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1540 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1541 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1542 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1543 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1544 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1545 constraint implementations.
1547 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1551 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1552 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1553 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1554 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1555 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1556 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1557 - added tests for this (rafl)
1559 * Moose::Meta::Class
1560 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1561 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1562 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1563 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1564 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1565 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1566 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1567 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1570 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1571 - added tests for this (thepler)
1573 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1574 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1575 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1576 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1579 * Moose::Meta::Class
1580 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1581 * Moose::Meta::Method
1584 * Moose::Error::Default
1585 * Moose::Error::Croak
1586 * Moose::Error::Confess
1587 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1588 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1589 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1590 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1591 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1592 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1594 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1596 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1597 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1599 * Moose::Unsweetened
1600 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1601 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1602 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1605 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1606 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1607 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1608 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1611 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1612 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1614 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1615 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1616 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1617 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1620 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1622 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1623 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1625 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1628 - Various bug fixes.
1630 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1631 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1633 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1635 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1636 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1637 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1638 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1639 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1640 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1642 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1643 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1644 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1646 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1647 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1648 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1651 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1652 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1653 dependency to 0.64_07.
1655 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1656 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1657 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1659 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1660 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1663 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1664 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1665 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1666 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1667 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1668 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1670 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1671 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1673 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1675 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1676 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1680 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1681 method when that method was provided by another role being
1682 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1683 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1685 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1687 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1688 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1691 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1692 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1693 - added test for this (t0m)
1695 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1696 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1697 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1699 - added test for this (t0m)
1702 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1703 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1704 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1707 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1708 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1710 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1712 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1713 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1715 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1716 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1717 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1719 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1720 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1723 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1724 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1725 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1726 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1730 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1731 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1732 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1735 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1736 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1737 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1738 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1741 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1745 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1746 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1747 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1749 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1751 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1752 created so that the process can be more easily
1753 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1755 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1756 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1757 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1758 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1760 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1761 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1764 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1765 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1767 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1768 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1769 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1771 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1772 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1773 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1775 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1776 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1778 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1779 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1782 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1783 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1787 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1788 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1790 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1791 ... this is not my day today ...
1793 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1794 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1795 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1796 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1797 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1800 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1801 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1802 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1803 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1804 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1807 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1809 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1810 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1811 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1812 this is not ever something you want to do
1813 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1814 - added tests for this (stevan)
1817 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1819 - added test for this
1821 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1822 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1823 - added tests for this (wreis)
1825 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1826 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1827 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1828 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1830 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1831 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1832 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1835 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1837 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1839 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1842 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1843 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1844 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1845 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1846 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1847 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1848 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1849 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1850 - added tests for this
1852 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1853 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1854 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1855 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1857 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1859 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1860 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1861 - added tests for this (sartak)
1862 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1863 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1866 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1868 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1869 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1871 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1872 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1873 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1874 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1876 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1878 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1879 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1882 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1884 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1886 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1887 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1888 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1890 - added docs for this (TODO).
1891 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1892 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1893 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1894 - fix builder and default both being used
1899 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1901 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1902 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1903 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1907 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1911 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1912 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1913 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1915 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1916 - move the ClassName type check code to
1917 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1919 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1920 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1922 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1923 (early morning release engineering)--
1925 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1926 which was causing the indexer to choke
1928 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1929 (late night release engineering)--
1931 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1932 changes in this release
1934 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1935 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1936 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1938 * Moose::Meta::Class
1939 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1940 since it is called so often by &meta
1942 * Moose::Meta::Class
1944 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1945 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1948 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1949 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1950 method for immutablization to check if the
1951 destructor object even needs to be created
1954 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1955 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1956 - added more descriptive error message to help
1957 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1958 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1960 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1962 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1963 XS based functionality is now optional
1964 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1965 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1966 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1968 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1969 to take care of this, mostly we added
1970 support for the package_name and name
1971 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1972 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1973 support regexp matching of names
1974 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1975 - tests added for this
1976 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1977 is currently not supported in roles,
1978 but, ... patches welcome
1979 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1980 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1981 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1984 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1985 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1986 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1987 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1988 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1989 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1990 - added test for this
1992 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1993 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1994 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1997 * Moose::Meta::Class
1998 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2002 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2004 - added tests for this
2005 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2006 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2008 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2009 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2010 themselves parameterizable types
2012 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2013 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2014 called by the inlined immutable
2016 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2018 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2019 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2020 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2021 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2023 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2024 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2028 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2029 causing occasional cpantester failures
2030 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2031 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2033 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2035 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2036 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2039 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2040 ->body when looping through the
2041 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2043 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2044 eating the $@ values, and so not
2045 working correctly, it still kind of
2046 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2047 - added tests for this
2049 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2050 - added new recipe for immutable
2051 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2053 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2054 - added new recipe for builder and
2055 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2057 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2058 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2059 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2062 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2064 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat

2069 drink more coffee before
2070 doing release engineering
2072 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2187 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2189 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2539 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2542 * Parameterized Types
2543 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2544 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2545 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2546 They can also be nested:
2547 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2548 And work with the type unions as well:
2549 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2551 * Better Framework Extendability
2552 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2553 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2554 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2555 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2558 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2559 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2560 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2561 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2737 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2738 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2739 - added tests for this
2741 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2743 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
2744 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
2745 - altered unimport tests to handle this
2748 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
2750 * Moose::Meta::Class
2751 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
2752 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
2755 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2756 where not handled correctly in roles
2757 - added tests for this
2759 * Moose::Meta::Class
2760 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2761 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2762 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2764 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2765 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2767 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2768 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2769 so this release is just to fix that.
2772 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2773 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2774 (thanks to konobi for this)
2775 - added tests and docs
2777 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2778 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2780 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2781 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2782 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2783 - added tests for this
2784 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2785 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2786 functions to facilitate introspection.
2788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2789 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2790 to build the list of delegated methods
2791 correctly (and not override important
2792 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2794 - added tests and docs for this
2795 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2796 so that you can actually document your
2797 attributes and inspect them through the
2799 - added tests and docs for this
2801 * Moose::Meta::Class
2802 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2803 it will first look in for the class in the
2804 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2805 then default to just loading $name.
2806 - added tests and docs for this
2808 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2809 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2810 - added test for this
2813 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2814 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2815 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2816 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2818 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2819 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2822 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2824 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2825 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2826 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2829 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2830 !! for this developer release to work !!
2832 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2833 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2834 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2835 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2836 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2837 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2838 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2839 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2840 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2841 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2842 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2844 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2845 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2846 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2847 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2850 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2851 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2852 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2853 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2854 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2856 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2858 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2859 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2862 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2863 called unless they actually need to be.
2864 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2865 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2866 DEMOLISH method present.
2868 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2869 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2870 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2871 type constraint, which allows for a
2872 hand optimized version of the type
2873 constraint to be used when possible.
2874 - Any internally created type constraints
2875 now provide an optimized version as well.
2877 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2879 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2880 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2881 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2883 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2884 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2885 your class namespace of these exported
2888 * Moose::Meta::Class
2889 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2890 comes up during global destruction
2892 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2896 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2899 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2900 - changed how we do type checks so that
2901 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2904 - moved accessor generation methods to
2905 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2906 conform to the API changes from
2909 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2910 - changed how constraints are compiled
2911 so that we do less recursion and more
2912 iteration. This makes the type check
2914 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2917 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2918 - created this from methods formerly found in
2919 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2921 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2922 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2924 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2925 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2927 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2928 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2930 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2932 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2933 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2934 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2935 - added tests for this
2936 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2937 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2938 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2939 - removed tests for this
2941 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2943 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2944 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2945 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2948 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2949 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2950 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2952 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2953 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2954 comments for more info.
2957 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2958 asked questions and common problems
2960 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2961 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2962 - added tests for this
2964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2965 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2966 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2967 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2969 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2970 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2973 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2974 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2975 is much appreciated :)
2976 - added tests for this
2978 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2979 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2980 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2983 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2984 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2986 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2988 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2989 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2993 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2994 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2995 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2997 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2999 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3002 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3003 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3004 keywords because we need to localize them.
3005 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3007 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3008 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3009 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3012 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3015 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3016 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3017 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3020 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3021 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3022 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3024 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3026 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3027 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3028 bottom of your class file.
3031 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3034 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3036 - improved error message when loading modules so
3037 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3038 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3039 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3042 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3043 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3044 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3046 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3047 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3049 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3050 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3051 turn them on for you.
3052 - added tests for this

3081 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3082 - This release works in combination with
3083 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3084 release because it uses the a new
3085 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3086 complete Role implementation. It has
3087 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3088 the the previous CPAN version. This
3089 release also lacks good updated docs,
3090 the official release will have updated docs.
3093 - refactored the keyword exports
3094 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3095 accepts more than one Role at a time

3101 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3102 accepts more than one Role at a time
3104 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3106 string enumerations which can be used as
3108 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3111 - more careful checking of params to new()
3114 - much work done on the role composition
3115 - many new tests for conflict detection
3116 and composition edge cases
3117 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3118 looking at the tests
3120 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3121 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3122 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3124 * Moose::Meta::Class

3127 - some small additions to support Roles
3129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3130 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3132 - some small changes to support the new
3134 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3135 with the 'handles' option

3143 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3144 to support custom attribute meta-classes
