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
16 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
17 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
22 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
23 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
24 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
27 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
28 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
30 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
31 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
33 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
34 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
35 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
38 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
39 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
40 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
43 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
44 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
45 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
46 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
48 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
49 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
52 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
53 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
60 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
61 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
62 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
64 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
65 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
66 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
69 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
70 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
71 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
73 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
74 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
75 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
77 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
78 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
82 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
83 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
84 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
86 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
87 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
88 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
89 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
91 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
95 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
96 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
99 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
100 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
102 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
106 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
107 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
108 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
110 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
114 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
115 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
119 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
120 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
121 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
123 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
124 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
125 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
127 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
131 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
133 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
137 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
139 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
140 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
145 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
146 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
148 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
149 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
150 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
151 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
152 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
154 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
155 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
156 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
157 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
159 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
163 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
164 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
169 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
171 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
173 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
178 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
180 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
184 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
185 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
186 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
188 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
189 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
190 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
191 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
193 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
194 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
195 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
196 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
197 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
200 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
205 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
206 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
207 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
208 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
209 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
212 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
216 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
219 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
220 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
224 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
225 function (not just method). (doy)
229 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
230 and aren't easily installable/testable.
232 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
236 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
237 to be overridden more easily (doy).
239 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
243 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
244 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
246 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
250 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
251 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
252 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
254 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
258 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
259 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
260 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
262 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
263 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
267 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
268 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
270 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
271 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
275 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
276 is applied to a class (t0m).
278 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
279 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
281 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
284 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
285 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
287 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
288 be much more robust. (doy)
290 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
292 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
295 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
299 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
300 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
302 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
306 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
307 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
309 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
312 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
313 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
314 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
316 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
317 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
318 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
321 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
323 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
327 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
328 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
332 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
334 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
338 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
339 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
343 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
344 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
348 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
350 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
354 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
355 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
359 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
360 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
364 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
365 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
367 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
371 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
372 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
373 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
376 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
380 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
381 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
382 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
383 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
385 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
389 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
390 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
391 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
395 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
398 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
403 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
404 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
408 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
409 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
411 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
412 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
413 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
414 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
416 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
420 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
424 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
425 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
427 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
428 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
429 - Moose::Util::does_role
430 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
431 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
432 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
434 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
438 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
439 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
440 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
443 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
447 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
448 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
451 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
455 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
456 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
459 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
463 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
465 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
466 class. (Dave Rolsky).
468 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
469 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
470 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
472 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
473 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
474 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
477 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
478 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
480 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
481 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
482 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
484 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
486 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
487 substr et al, again. (sorear)
489 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
491 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
494 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
495 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
497 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
498 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
500 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
501 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
502 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
503 dependencies installed.
505 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
506 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
509 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
511 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
515 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
517 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
518 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
519 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
521 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
522 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
523 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
525 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
526 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
529 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
530 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
531 others. (nothingmuch)
533 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
534 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
535 remove_accessors. (doy)
537 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
538 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
539 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
541 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
542 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
544 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
545 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
546 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
547 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
550 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
551 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
553 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
554 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
556 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
558 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
559 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
563 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
564 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
565 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
566 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
568 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
570 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
571 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
572 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
573 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
574 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
577 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
578 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
579 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
580 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
581 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
583 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
584 which were not receiving the value of
585 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
586 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
587 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
588 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
592 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
593 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
594 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
595 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
596 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
599 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
600 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
601 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
602 - added tests for this (Stevan)
605 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
606 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
607 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
610 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
611 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
612 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
614 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
615 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
616 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
619 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
620 class if you pass it options for
621 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
622 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
623 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
624 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
625 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
626 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
627 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
628 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
629 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
631 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
632 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
633 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
634 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
635 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
638 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
640 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
641 existing delegation API. (hdp)
643 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
644 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
645 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
646 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
647 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
648 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
651 * Moose::Error::Croak
652 * Moose::Error::Confess
653 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
654 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
657 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
660 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
661 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
662 installing a broken sub. (doy)
665 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
668 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
669 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
670 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
672 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
673 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
674 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
675 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
676 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
678 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
679 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
682 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
684 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
685 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
688 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
689 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
691 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
692 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
693 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
694 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
696 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
697 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
698 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
699 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
700 using it for new code!
702 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
703 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
704 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
705 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
707 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
708 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
709 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
710 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
711 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
712 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
713 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
714 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
717 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
720 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
721 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
724 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
725 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
727 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
728 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
729 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
732 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
733 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
734 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
737 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
738 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
740 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
741 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
742 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
745 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
746 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
747 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
748 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
749 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
750 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
752 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
754 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
757 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
758 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
759 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
761 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
762 associated_methods. (hdp)
763 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
764 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
765 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
766 misspelled) arguments
768 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
769 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
770 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
771 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
773 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
774 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
775 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
777 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
780 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
781 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
782 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
785 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
786 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
788 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
790 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
791 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
793 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
794 * Moose::Manual::Types
795 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
796 string parsing rathole (mst)
798 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
799 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
800 using plain objects instead
802 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
803 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
806 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
808 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
809 three times today (perigrin)
810 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
811 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
814 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
815 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
816 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
819 - A role's required methods are now represented by
820 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
821 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
822 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
823 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
824 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
827 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
828 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
829 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
830 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
833 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
835 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
838 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
840 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
843 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
844 during global destruction. This method has been made more
845 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
849 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
850 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
853 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
854 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
856 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
857 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
858 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
861 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
863 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
864 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
867 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
871 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
872 methods during global destruction (doy)
875 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
876 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
880 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
881 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
884 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
885 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
888 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
889 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
891 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
893 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
897 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
898 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
899 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
902 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
903 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
904 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
907 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
909 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
910 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
911 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
914 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
915 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
916 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
917 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
919 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
920 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
921 of the Moose core (Sartak)
924 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
927 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
928 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
929 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
933 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
934 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
937 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
939 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
942 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
943 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
946 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
947 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
950 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
951 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
954 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
957 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
959 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
960 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
964 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
966 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
967 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
970 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
971 * More deprecations and renamings
972 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
973 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
974 when an object is constructed)
977 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
978 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
979 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
981 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
982 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
983 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
984 feature, and it works again.
987 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
989 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
991 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
992 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
993 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
995 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
996 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
997 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
998 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
999 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1001 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1002 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1003 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1004 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1005 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1008 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1009 metaclass object. (hdp)
1011 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1012 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1013 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1014 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1015 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1016 point out this fact. (hdp)
1018 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1019 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1021 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1022 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1024 * Moose::Meta::Class
1025 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1026 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1027 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1028 called during instance construction were passed the
1029 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1030 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1032 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1033 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1036 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1037 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1038 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1041 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1042 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1043 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1044 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1045 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1047 - Moose::Meta::Class
1048 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1050 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1051 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1052 when an object is constructed)
1053 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1055 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1056 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1057 when an object is constructed)
1058 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1059 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1060 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1063 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1065 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1066 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1068 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1070 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1071 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1072 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1074 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1075 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1076 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1078 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1080 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1081 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1083 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1084 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1087 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1088 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1091 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1092 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1093 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1095 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1096 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1100 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1101 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1102 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1104 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1105 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1108 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1109 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1110 with recommended workarounds.
1112 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1113 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1115 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1116 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1117 (yes, spelled like that).
1119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1120 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1122 * Moose::Meta::Class
1123 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1124 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1126 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1128 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1129 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1130 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1131 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1132 instead. Reported by doy.
1134 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1136 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1137 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1139 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1140 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1141 message) is now deprecated.
1142 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1143 often got it wrong. For example:
1145 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1147 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1151 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1152 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1153 bite you in weird cases.
1155 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1156 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1157 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1158 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1160 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1161 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1165 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1168 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1169 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1172 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1173 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1175 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1176 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1179 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1180 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1181 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1182 - added tests for this (stevan)
1184 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1185 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1186 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1187 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1191 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1192 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1193 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1194 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1196 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1197 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1198 - added tests for this (rafl)
1200 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1201 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1202 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1203 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1207 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1208 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1211 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1212 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1213 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1215 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1217 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1218 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1220 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1221 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1222 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1223 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1224 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1227 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1228 error message did not specify the attribute name
1231 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1233 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1235 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1236 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1237 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1239 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1240 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1243 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1245 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1246 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1247 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1248 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1250 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1252 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1253 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1254 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1255 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1257 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1258 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1259 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1261 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1262 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1263 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1264 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1265 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1267 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1268 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1269 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1270 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1271 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1273 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1274 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1275 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1276 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1277 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1278 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1280 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1281 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1282 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1283 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1284 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1285 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1287 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1288 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1290 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1291 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1292 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1293 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1295 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1296 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1299 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1303 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1304 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1306 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1307 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1308 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1309 guts. (nothingmuch).
1311 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1312 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1313 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1316 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1317 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1318 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1320 * Moose::Meta::Class
1321 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1324 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1325 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1327 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1328 * Moose::Unsweetened
1329 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1332 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1333 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1334 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1335 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1336 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1337 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1340 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1341 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1342 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1343 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1344 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1345 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1346 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1347 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1348 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1350 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1352 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1353 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1355 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1356 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1357 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1358 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1360 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1361 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1362 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1363 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1364 same methods for a single role did not work
1365 right (worked just fine with multiple
1367 - added test for this (stevan)
1369 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1370 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1371 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1374 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1375 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1376 - added test for this (t0m)
1379 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1380 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1381 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1383 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1384 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1385 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1386 - added test for this (t0m)
1388 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1389 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1390 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1391 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1392 - added test for this (perigrin)
1395 - create method for constructing a role
1396 dynamically (Sartak)
1397 - added test for this (Sartak)
1398 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1399 - added test for this (Sartak)
1402 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1404 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1405 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1406 methods is useful (Sartak)
1408 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1409 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1410 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1413 * Moose::Meta::Class
1414 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1415 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1416 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1417 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1418 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1419 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1422 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1423 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1425 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1426 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1427 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1428 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1429 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1431 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1433 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1434 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1435 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1438 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1439 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1440 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1441 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1442 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1443 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1446 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1447 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1448 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1449 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1450 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1451 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1452 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1453 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1454 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1455 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1456 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1458 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1459 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1462 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1463 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1464 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1465 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1466 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1468 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1470 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1471 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1472 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1474 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1475 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1478 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1479 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1480 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1483 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1484 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1486 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1488 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1489 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1491 * Moose::Meta::Class
1492 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1493 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1494 a required attribute
1496 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1497 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1498 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1499 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1501 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1502 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1504 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1505 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1506 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1507 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1508 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1509 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1510 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1511 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1513 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1514 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1515 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1517 * Roles and role application
1518 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1519 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1520 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1521 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1522 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1524 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1525 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1528 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1529 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1530 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1531 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1532 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1535 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1536 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1537 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1538 changes in the Moose internals.
1540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1541 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1542 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1545 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1546 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1547 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1548 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1550 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1551 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1552 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1553 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1555 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1556 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1557 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1558 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1559 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1560 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1561 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1562 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1563 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1564 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1565 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1566 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1567 constraint implementations.
1569 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1573 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1574 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1575 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1576 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1577 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1578 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1579 - added tests for this (rafl)
1581 * Moose::Meta::Class
1582 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1583 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1584 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1585 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1586 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1587 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1588 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1589 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1592 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1593 - added tests for this (thepler)
1595 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1596 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1597 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1598 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1601 * Moose::Meta::Class
1602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1603 * Moose::Meta::Method
1606 * Moose::Error::Default
1607 * Moose::Error::Croak
1608 * Moose::Error::Confess
1609 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1610 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1611 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1612 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1613 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1614 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1616 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1618 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1619 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1621 * Moose::Unsweetened
1622 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1623 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1624 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1626 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1627 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1628 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1629 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1630 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1633 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1634 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1636 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1637 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1638 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1639 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1642 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1644 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1645 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1647 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1650 - Various bug fixes.
1652 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1653 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1655 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1657 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1658 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1659 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1660 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1661 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1662 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1664 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1665 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1666 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1668 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1669 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1670 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1673 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1674 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1675 dependency to 0.64_07.
1677 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1678 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1679 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1681 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1682 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1685 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1686 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1687 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1688 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1689 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1690 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1692 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1693 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1695 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1697 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1698 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1702 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1703 method when that method was provided by another role being
1704 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1705 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1707 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1709 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1710 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1712 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1713 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1714 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1715 - added test for this (t0m)
1717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1718 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1719 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1721 - added test for this (t0m)
1724 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1725 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1726 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1729 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1730 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1732 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1734 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1735 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1737 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1738 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1739 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1741 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1742 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1745 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1746 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1747 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1748 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1752 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1753 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1754 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1757 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1758 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1759 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1760 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1763 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1767 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1768 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1769 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1771 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1772 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1773 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1774 created so that the process can be more easily
1775 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1777 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1778 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1779 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1780 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1783 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1786 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1787 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1789 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1790 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1791 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1793 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1794 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1795 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1797 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1798 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1800 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1801 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1804 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1805 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1809 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1810 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1812 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1813 ... this is not my day today ...
1815 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1816 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1817 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1818 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1819 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1822 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1823 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1824 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1825 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1826 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1829 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1831 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1832 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1833 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1834 this is not ever something you want to do
1835 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1836 - added tests for this (stevan)
1839 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1841 - added test for this
1843 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1844 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1845 - added tests for this (wreis)
1847 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1848 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1849 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1850 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1852 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1853 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1854 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1857 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1859 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1861 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1864 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1865 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1866 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1867 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1868 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1869 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1870 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1871 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1872 - added tests for this
1874 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1875 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1876 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1877 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1879 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1882 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1883 - added tests for this (sartak)
1884 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1885 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1888 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1890 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1891 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1893 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1894 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1895 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1896 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1898 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1900 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1901 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

1908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1909 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1910 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1912 - added docs for this (TODO).
1913 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1914 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1915 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1921 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1923 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1924 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1925 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1929 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1933 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1934 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1935 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1937 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1938 - move the ClassName type check code to
1939 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1941 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1942 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1944 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1945 (early morning release engineering)--
1947 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1948 which was causing the indexer to choke
1950 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1951 (late night release engineering)--
1953 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1954 changes in this release
1956 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1957 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1958 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1960 * Moose::Meta::Class
1961 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1962 since it is called so often by &meta
1964 * Moose::Meta::Class
1966 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1967 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1970 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1971 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1972 method for immutablization to check if the
1973 destructor object even needs to be created
1976 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1977 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1978 - added more descriptive error message to help
1979 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1980 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1982 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1984 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1985 XS based functionality is now optional
1986 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1987 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1988 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1990 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1991 to take care of this, mostly we added
1992 support for the package_name and name
1993 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1994 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1995 support regexp matching of names
1996 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1997 - tests added for this
1998 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1999 is currently not supported in roles,
2000 but, ... patches welcome
2001 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2002 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2003 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2006 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2007 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2008 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2009 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2010 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2011 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2012 - added test for this
2014 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2015 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2016 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2019 * Moose::Meta::Class
2020 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2024 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2026 - added tests for this
2027 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2028 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2030 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2031 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2032 themselves parameterizable types
2034 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2035 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2036 called by the inlined immutable
2038 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2040 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2041 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2042 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2043 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2045 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2046 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2050 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2051 causing occasional cpantester failures
2052 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2053 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2055 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2057 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2058 show where the error is (thanks mst)

2062 ->body when looping through the
2063 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2065 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was

2209 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2211 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2212 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2255 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2256 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2549 when they encounter overriden or modified
2550 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2551 - added tests for this

2561 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2564 * Parameterized Types
2565 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2566 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2567 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2568 They can also be nested:
2569 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2570 And work with the type unions as well:
2571 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2573 * Better Framework Extendability
2574 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2575 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2576 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2577 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2580 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2581 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2582 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2583 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2739 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2740 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2741 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2742 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2743 prototypes for functions
2744 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2745 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2746 - added tests and docs for this
2747 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2748 default for where be { 1 }
2749 - added test for this
2751 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2752 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2753 merlyn for finding this bug
2754 - tests added for this
2755 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2758 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2759 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2760 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2761 - added tests for this
2763 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2765 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
2766 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
2767 - altered unimport tests to handle this
2770 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
2772 * Moose::Meta::Class
2773 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
2774 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
2777 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2778 where not handled correctly in roles
2779 - added tests for this
2781 * Moose::Meta::Class
2782 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2783 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2784 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2786 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2787 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2789 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2790 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2791 so this release is just to fix that.
2794 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2795 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2796 (thanks to konobi for this)
2797 - added tests and docs
2799 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2803 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2804 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2805 - added tests for this
2806 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2807 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2808 functions to facilitate introspection.
2810 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2811 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2812 to build the list of delegated methods
2813 correctly (and not override important
2814 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2816 - added tests and docs for this
2817 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2818 so that you can actually document your
2819 attributes and inspect them through the
2821 - added tests and docs for this
2823 * Moose::Meta::Class
2824 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2825 it will first look in for the class in the
2826 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2827 then default to just loading $name.
2828 - added tests and docs for this
2830 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2831 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2832 - added test for this
2835 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2836 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2837 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2838 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2840 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2841 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2844 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2846 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2847 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2848 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2851 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2852 !! for this developer release to work !!
2854 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2855 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2856 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2857 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2858 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2859 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2860 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2861 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2862 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2863 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2864 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2866 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2867 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2868 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2869 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2872 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2873 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2874 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2875 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2876 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2878 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2880 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2881 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2884 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2885 called unless they actually need to be.
2886 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2887 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2888 DEMOLISH method present.
2890 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2891 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2892 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2893 type constraint, which allows for a
2894 hand optimized version of the type
2895 constraint to be used when possible.
2896 - Any internally created type constraints
2897 now provide an optimized version as well.
2899 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2901 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2902 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2903 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2905 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2906 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2907 your class namespace of these exported
2910 * Moose::Meta::Class
2911 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2912 comes up during global destruction
2914 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2918 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2921 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2922 - changed how we do type checks so that
2923 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2926 - moved accessor generation methods to
2927 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2928 conform to the API changes from
2931 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2932 - changed how constraints are compiled
2933 so that we do less recursion and more
2934 iteration. This makes the type check
2936 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2939 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2940 - created this from methods formerly found in
2941 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2943 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2944 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2946 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2947 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

2954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2955 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2956 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2957 - added tests for this
2958 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2959 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2960 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2961 - removed tests for this
2963 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2965 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2966 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2967 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2970 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2971 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2972 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2974 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2975 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2976 comments for more info.
2979 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2980 asked questions and common problems
2982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2983 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2984 - added tests for this
2986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2987 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2988 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2989 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2991 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2992 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2995 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2996 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2997 is much appreciated :)
2998 - added tests for this
3000 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3001 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3002 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3005 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3006 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3008 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3010 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3011 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3015 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3016 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3017 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3019 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3021 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3024 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3025 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3026 keywords because we need to localize them.
3027 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3029 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3030 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3031 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3034 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3037 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3038 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3039 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3042 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3043 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3044 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3046 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3048 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3049 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3050 bottom of your class file.
3053 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3056 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3058 - improved error message when loading modules so
3059 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3060 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3061 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3064 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3065 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3066 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3068 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3069 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3071 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3072 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3073 turn them on for you.
3074 - added tests for this

3103 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3104 - This release works in combination with
3105 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3106 release because it uses the a new
3107 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3108 complete Role implementation. It has
3109 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3110 the the previous CPAN version. This
3111 release also lacks good updated docs,
3112 the official release will have updated docs.
3115 - refactored the keyword exports
3116 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3117 accepts more than one Role at a time

3123 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3124 accepts more than one Role at a time
3126 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3128 string enumerations which can be used as
3130 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3133 - more careful checking of params to new()
3136 - much work done on the role composition
3137 - many new tests for conflict detection
3138 and composition edge cases
3139 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3140 looking at the tests
3142 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3143 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3144 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3146 * Moose::Meta::Class

3154 - some small changes to support the new
3156 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3157 with the 'handles' option
3158 - added several tests for this
3159 - no docs for this yet

3165 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3166 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3167 on a per-attribute basis
3168 - added tests for this
3169 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3170 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
