2 for, noteworthy changes.
4 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
5 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
6 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
10 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
11 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
14 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
16 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
19 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
20 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
23 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
24 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
27 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
28 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
31 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
34 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
36 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
37 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
41 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
43 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
44 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
47 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
48 * More deprecations and renamings
49 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
50 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
51 when an object is constructed)
54 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
55 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
56 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
58 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
59 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
60 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
61 feature, and it works again.
64 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
66 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
68 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
69 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
70 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
72 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
73 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
74 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
75 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
76 message. Test provided by perigrin.
78 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
79 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
80 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
81 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
82 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
85 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
86 metaclass object. (hdp)
88 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
89 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
90 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
91 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
92 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
93 point out this fact. (hdp)
95 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
96 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
98 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
99 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
103 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
104 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
105 called during instance construction were passed the
106 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
107 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
109 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
110 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
113 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
114 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
115 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
118 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
119 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
120 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
121 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
122 them, but they are not for "public" use.
125 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
127 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
128 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
129 when an object is constructed)
130 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
132 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
133 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
134 when an object is constructed)
135 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
136 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
137 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
140 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
142 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
143 * No changes from 0.72_01.
145 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
147 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
148 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
149 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
151 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
152 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
153 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
155 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
157 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
158 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
160 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
161 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
164 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
165 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
168 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
169 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
170 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
173 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
177 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
178 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
179 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
182 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
185 * Moose::Manual::Delta
186 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
187 with recommended workarounds.
189 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
190 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
192 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
193 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
194 (yes, spelled like that).
196 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
197 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
200 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
201 changes in latest Class::MOP.
203 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
205 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
206 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
207 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
208 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
209 instead. Reported by doy.
211 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
213 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
214 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
217 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
218 message) is now deprecated.
219 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
220 often got it wrong. For example:
222 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
224 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
228 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
229 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
230 bite you in weird cases.
232 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
233 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
234 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
237 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
238 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
242 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
245 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
246 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
249 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
250 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
252 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
253 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
256 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
257 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
258 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
259 - added tests for this (stevan)
261 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
262 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
263 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
264 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
268 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
269 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
270 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
271 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
273 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
274 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
275 - added tests for this (rafl)
277 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
278 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
279 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
280 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
284 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
285 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
288 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
289 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
290 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
292 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
294 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
295 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
298 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
299 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
300 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
301 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
304 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
305 error message did not specify the attribute name
308 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
310 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
312 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
313 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
314 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
317 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
320 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
322 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
323 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
324 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
325 of fixes and formatting improvements.
327 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
329 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
330 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
331 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
332 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
335 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
336 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
339 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
340 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
341 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
342 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
344 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
345 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
346 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
347 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
348 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
350 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
351 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
352 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
353 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
354 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
355 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
357 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
358 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
359 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
360 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
361 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
362 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
364 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
365 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
367 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
368 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
369 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
370 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
372 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
373 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
376 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
380 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
381 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
383 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
384 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
385 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
388 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
389 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
390 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
392 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
393 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
394 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
395 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
398 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
401 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
402 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
404 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
406 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
409 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
410 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
411 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
412 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
413 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
414 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
417 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
418 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
419 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
420 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
421 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
422 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
423 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
424 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
425 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
427 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
429 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
430 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
432 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
433 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
434 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
435 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
437 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
438 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
439 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
440 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
441 same methods for a single role did not work
442 right (worked just fine with multiple
444 - added test for this (stevan)
446 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
447 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
448 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
451 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
452 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
453 - added test for this (t0m)
456 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
457 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
458 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
460 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
461 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
462 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
463 - added test for this (t0m)
465 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
466 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
467 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
468 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
469 - added test for this (perigrin)
472 - create method for constructing a role
474 - added test for this (Sartak)
475 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
476 - added test for this (Sartak)
479 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
481 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
482 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
483 methods is useful (Sartak)
485 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
486 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
487 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
491 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
492 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
493 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
494 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
495 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
496 - added tests for this (jdv79)
499 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
500 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
502 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
503 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
504 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
505 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
506 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
508 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
510 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
511 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
512 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
515 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
516 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
517 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
518 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
519 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
520 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
524 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
525 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
526 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
527 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
528 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
529 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
530 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
531 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
532 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
533 future. (jnapiorkowski)
535 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
536 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
539 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
540 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
541 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
542 type. (jnapiorkowski)
543 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
545 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
547 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
548 predicate, and link to more details sections in
549 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
551 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
552 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
554 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
555 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
556 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
557 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
560 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
561 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
563 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
565 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
566 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
569 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
570 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
573 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
574 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
575 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
576 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
578 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
579 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
581 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
582 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
583 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
584 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
585 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
586 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
587 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
588 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
590 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
591 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
592 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
594 * Roles and role application
595 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
596 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
597 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
598 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
599 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
601 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
602 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
605 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
606 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
607 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
608 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
609 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
612 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
613 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
614 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
615 changes in the Moose internals.
617 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
618 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
619 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
622 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
623 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
624 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
625 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
627 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
628 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
629 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
630 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
632 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
633 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
634 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
635 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
636 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
637 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
638 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
639 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
640 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
641 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
642 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
643 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
644 constraint implementations.
646 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
650 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
651 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
652 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
653 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
654 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
655 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
656 - added tests for this (rafl)
659 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
660 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
661 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
662 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
663 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
664 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
665 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
666 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
669 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
670 - added tests for this (thepler)
672 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
673 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
674 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
675 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
679 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
680 * Moose::Meta::Method
683 * Moose::Error::Default
684 * Moose::Error::Croak
685 * Moose::Error::Confess
686 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
687 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
688 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
689 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
690 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
691 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
693 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
695 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
696 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
699 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
700 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
701 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
703 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
704 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
705 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
706 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
707 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
710 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
711 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
713 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
714 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
715 several major changes in this release of Moose.
716 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

758 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
759 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
762 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
763 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
764 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
765 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
766 coincidental exception. (t0m).
767 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
769 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
770 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

796 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
798 - added test for this (t0m)

802 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
803 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
806 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
807 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
809 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
811 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
814 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
815 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
816 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

860 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
863 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,

890 ... this is not my day today ...
892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
893 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
894 clone_and_inherit options still works for
895 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
896 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
899 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
900 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
901 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

903 the changes that I didn't include in the last
906 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
908 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
909 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

941 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
942 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
943 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
944 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
945 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
946 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
947 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
948 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
949 - added tests for this
951 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
952 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1168 drink more coffee before
1169 doing release engineering
1171 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1424 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
1426 * Moose::Meta::Class
1427 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
1428 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1429 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
1430 method in the first place ;)
1432 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
1433 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
1434 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~

1440 - this release contains a major reworking and
1441 cleanup of the role system
1442 - 100% backwards compat.
1443 - Role application now restructured into seperate
1444 classes based on type of applicants
1445 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
1446 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer

1448 - new Composite role metaclass
1449 - runtime application of roles to instances
1450 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
1451 classes when applicable

1484 - added this module to support the refactor
1485 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1487 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

1489 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
1493 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
1495 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1496 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
1497 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

1535 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1536 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
1537 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
1540 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1541 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1542 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1543 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

1547 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1548 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1549 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

1557 - added docs for this
1559 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1560 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

1578 with work correctly.
1579 - added tests for this
1582 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1583 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
1586 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

1622 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1625 - fixed how required methods are handled
1626 when they encounter overriden or modified
1627 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1628 - added tests for this
1630 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1631 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1632 the | always creates a union and so is
1633 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1634 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1636 - added more tests for this
1638 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1641 * Parameterized Types
1642 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1643 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1644 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1645 They can also be nested:
1646 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1647 And work with the type unions as well:
1648 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1650 * Better Framework Extendability
1651 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1652 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1653 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1654 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1657 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1658 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1659 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1660 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1663 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1665 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1666 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
1669 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

1725 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1726 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1728 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

1818 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1819 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1820 prototypes for functions
1821 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1822 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1832 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1835 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1836 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1837 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1838 - added tests for this
1840 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1842 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
1843 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

1864 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1866 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1867 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1868 so this release is just to fix that.
1871 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1872 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1873 (thanks to konobi for this)

1884 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1885 functions to facilitate introspection.
1887 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1888 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1889 to build the list of delegated methods
1890 correctly (and not override important
1891 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1893 - added tests and docs for this
1894 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1895 so that you can actually document your
1896 attributes and inspect them through the
1898 - added tests and docs for this
1900 * Moose::Meta::Class
1901 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1902 it will first look in for the class in the
1903 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1904 then default to just loading $name.
1905 - added tests and docs for this
1907 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1908 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1909 - added test for this
1912 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1913 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1914 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1915 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1917 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1918 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1921 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1923 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1924 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1925 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1928 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1929 !! for this developer release to work !!
1931 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1932 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1933 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1934 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1935 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1936 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1937 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1938 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1939 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1940 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1941 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1943 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1944 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1945 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1946 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1949 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1950 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1951 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1952 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1953 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1955 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1957 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1958 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1961 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1962 called unless they actually need to be.
1963 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1964 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1965 DEMOLISH method present.
1967 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1968 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1969 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1970 type constraint, which allows for a
1971 hand optimized version of the type
1972 constraint to be used when possible.
1973 - Any internally created type constraints
1974 now provide an optimized version as well.
1976 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1978 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1979 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1980 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1983 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1984 your class namespace of these exported
1987 * Moose::Meta::Class
1988 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1989 comes up during global destruction
1991 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1995 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1998 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1999 - changed how we do type checks so that
2000 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2003 - moved accessor generation methods to
2004 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2005 conform to the API changes from
2008 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2009 - changed how constraints are compiled
2010 so that we do less recursion and more
2011 iteration. This makes the type check
2013 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2016 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2017 - created this from methods formerly found in
2018 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2020 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2021 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2023 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2024 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2026 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2027 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2029 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2031 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2032 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2033 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2034 - added tests for this
2035 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2036 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2037 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2038 - removed tests for this
2040 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2042 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2043 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2044 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2047 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2048 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2049 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2051 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2052 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2053 comments for more info.
2056 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2057 asked questions and common problems
2059 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2060 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2061 - added tests for this
2063 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2064 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2065 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2066 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2068 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2069 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2072 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2073 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2074 is much appreciated :)
2075 - added tests for this
2077 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2078 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2079 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2082 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2083 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2085 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2087 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2088 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2092 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2093 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2094 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2096 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2098 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2101 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2102 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2103 keywords because we need to localize them.
2104 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2106 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2107 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2108 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2111 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2114 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2115 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2116 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2119 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2120 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2121 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2123 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2125 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2126 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2127 bottom of your class file.
2130 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2133 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2135 - improved error message when loading modules so
2136 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2137 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2138 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2141 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2142 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2143 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2146 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2148 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2149 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2150 turn them on for you.
2151 - added tests for this
2152 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2153 in Moose::Meta::Class
2156 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2157 automatically turned on for you.
2158 - added tests for this
2161 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2162 - added tests for this
2163 - added some more edge case tests

2176 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2179 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2180 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2181 - This release works in combination with
2182 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2183 release because it uses the a new
2184 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2185 complete Role implementation. It has
2186 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2187 the the previous CPAN version. This
2188 release also lacks good updated docs,
2189 the official release will have updated docs.
2192 - refactored the keyword exports
2193 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2194 accepts more than one Role at a time
2195 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2196 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2199 - refactored the keyword exports
2200 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2201 accepts more than one Role at a time
2203 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2204 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2205 string enumerations which can be used as
2207 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2210 - more careful checking of params to new()
2213 - much work done on the role composition
2214 - many new tests for conflict detection
2215 and composition edge cases
2216 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2217 looking at the tests
2219 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2220 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2221 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2223 * Moose::Meta::Class
2224 - some small changes to support the new
2226 - some small additions to support Roles
2228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2229 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2231 - some small changes to support the new
2233 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2234 with the 'handles' option
2235 - added several tests for this
2236 - no docs for this yet
2238 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2240 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2241 thanks to chansen for this commit
2242 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2243 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2244 on a per-attribute basis
2245 - added tests for this
2246 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2247 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2248 experimental feature and probably not finished
