1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
10 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
12 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
16 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
18 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
19 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
21 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
25 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
26 skips every other role. (rjbs)
28 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
29 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
30 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
31 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
32 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
34 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
38 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
39 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
40 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
43 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
48 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
50 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
51 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
53 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
57 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
58 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
59 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
63 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
64 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
66 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
67 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
69 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
70 environments. (doy, mateu)
72 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
76 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
77 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
78 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
79 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
83 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
84 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
86 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
90 * Update conflicts list.
93 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
97 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
98 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
99 details. (Dave Rolsky)
101 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
102 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
103 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
104 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
105 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
109 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
110 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
111 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
112 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
113 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
116 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
120 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
121 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
123 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
126 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
130 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
131 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
132 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
133 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
135 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
136 immutable classes). (mo)
138 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
139 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
140 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
142 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
146 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
148 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
150 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
154 * Fix some indexing issues.
156 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
158 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
162 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
163 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
164 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
165 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
166 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
168 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
169 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
174 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
175 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
176 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
177 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
179 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
180 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
181 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
185 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
186 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
189 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
193 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
194 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
198 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
202 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
203 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
204 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
205 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
208 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
212 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
215 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
219 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
220 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
221 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
224 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
228 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
229 policy. (Chris Prather)
231 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
232 on this new support policy. (doy)
236 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
237 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
238 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
240 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
241 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
243 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
247 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
248 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
249 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
250 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
253 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
257 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
258 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
261 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
265 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
266 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
268 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
269 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
273 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
274 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
275 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
276 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
277 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
278 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
280 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
281 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
283 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
284 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
285 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
286 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
288 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
289 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
291 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
296 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
297 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
299 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
303 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
304 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
305 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
307 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
311 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
312 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
313 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
315 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
316 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
319 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
320 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
323 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
324 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
325 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
327 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
328 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
333 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
334 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
335 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
336 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
338 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
339 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
341 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
342 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
344 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
345 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
346 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
347 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
349 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
350 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
351 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
354 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
355 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
356 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
357 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
359 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
360 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
363 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
364 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
365 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
367 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
371 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
372 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
373 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
375 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
376 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
377 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
380 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
381 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
382 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
384 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
385 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
386 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
388 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
389 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
393 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
394 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
395 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
397 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
398 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
399 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
400 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
402 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
406 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
407 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
408 value is a reference.
410 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
411 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
413 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
417 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
418 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
419 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
421 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
425 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
426 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
430 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
431 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
432 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
434 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
435 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
436 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
438 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
442 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
444 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
448 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
450 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
451 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
456 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
457 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
459 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
460 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
461 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
462 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
463 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
465 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
466 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
467 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
468 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
470 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
474 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
475 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
480 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
482 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
484 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
489 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
491 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
495 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
496 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
497 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
499 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
500 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
501 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
502 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
504 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
505 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
506 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
507 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
508 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
511 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
516 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
517 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
518 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
519 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
520 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
523 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
527 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
530 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
531 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
535 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
536 function (not just method). (doy)
540 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
541 and aren't easily installable/testable.
543 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
547 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
548 to be overridden more easily (doy).
550 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
554 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
555 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
557 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
561 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
562 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
563 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
565 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
569 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
570 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
571 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
573 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
574 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
578 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
579 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
581 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
582 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
586 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
587 is applied to a class (t0m).
589 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
590 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
592 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
595 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
596 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
598 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
599 be much more robust. (doy)
601 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
603 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
606 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
610 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
611 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
613 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
617 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
618 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
620 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
623 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
624 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
625 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
627 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
628 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
629 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
632 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
634 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
638 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
639 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
643 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
645 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
649 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
650 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
654 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
655 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
659 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
661 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
665 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
666 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
670 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
671 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
675 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
676 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
678 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
682 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
683 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
684 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
687 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
691 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
692 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
693 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
694 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
696 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
700 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
701 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
702 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
706 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
709 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
713 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
714 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
715 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
719 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
720 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
722 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
723 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
724 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
725 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
727 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
731 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
735 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
736 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
738 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
739 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
740 - Moose::Util::does_role
741 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
742 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
743 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
745 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
749 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
750 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
751 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
754 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
758 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
759 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
762 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
766 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
767 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
770 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
774 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
776 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
777 class. (Dave Rolsky).
779 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
780 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
781 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
783 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
784 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
785 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
788 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
789 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
791 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
792 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
793 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
795 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
797 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
798 substr et al, again. (sorear)
800 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
802 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
805 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
806 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
808 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
809 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
811 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
812 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
813 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
814 dependencies installed.
816 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
817 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
820 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
822 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
826 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
828 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
829 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
830 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
832 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
833 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
834 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
836 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
837 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
840 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
841 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
842 others. (nothingmuch)
844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
845 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
846 remove_accessors. (doy)
848 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
849 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
850 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
852 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
853 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
855 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
856 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
857 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
858 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
861 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
862 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
864 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
865 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
867 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
869 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
870 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
873 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
874 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
875 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
876 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
877 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
879 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
880 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
882 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
883 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
884 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
885 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
888 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
889 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
890 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
891 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
892 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
894 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
895 which were not receiving the value of
896 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
897 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
898 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
899 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
903 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
904 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
905 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
906 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
907 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
910 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
911 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
912 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
913 - added tests for this (Stevan)
916 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
917 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
918 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
921 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
922 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
923 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
925 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
926 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
927 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
930 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
931 class if you pass it options for
932 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
933 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
934 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
935 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
936 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
937 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
938 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
939 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
940 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
942 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
943 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
944 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
945 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
946 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
949 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
950 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
951 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
952 existing delegation API. (hdp)
954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
955 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
956 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
957 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
958 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
959 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
962 * Moose::Error::Croak
963 * Moose::Error::Confess
964 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
965 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
968 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
971 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
972 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
973 installing a broken sub. (doy)
976 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
979 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
980 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
981 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
983 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
984 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
985 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
986 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
987 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
989 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
990 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
993 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
995 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
996 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
999 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1000 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1003 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1004 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1005 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1007 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1008 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1009 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1010 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1011 using it for new code!
1013 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1014 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1015 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1016 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1018 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1019 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1020 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1021 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1022 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1023 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1024 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1025 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1028 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1031 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1032 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1036 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1038 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1039 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1040 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1042 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1043 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1044 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1045 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1047 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1048 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1049 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1051 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1052 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1053 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1056 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1058 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1059 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1060 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1061 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1063 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1065 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1069 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1070 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1072 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1073 associated_methods. (hdp)
1074 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1075 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1076 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1077 misspelled) arguments
1079 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1080 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1081 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1082 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1084 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1085 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1086 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1088 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1091 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1092 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1093 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1096 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1097 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1099 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1100 * Moose::Meta::Class
1101 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1102 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1104 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1105 * Moose::Manual::Types
1106 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1107 string parsing rathole (mst)
1109 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1110 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1111 using plain objects instead
1113 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1114 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1115 that's what we need.
1117 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1118 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1119 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1120 three times today (perigrin)
1121 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1122 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1124 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1125 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1126 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1127 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1130 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1131 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1132 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1133 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1134 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1135 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1138 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1139 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1140 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1141 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1144 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1146 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1149 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1151 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1154 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1155 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1156 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1160 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1161 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1164 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1165 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1167 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1168 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1169 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1171 * Moose::Unsweetened
1172 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1174 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1175 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1178 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1182 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1183 methods during global destruction (doy)
1185 * Moose::Meta::Class
1186 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1187 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1188 consumption (Sartak)
1190 * Moose::Meta::Class
1191 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1192 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1195 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1196 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1199 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1200 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1202 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1204 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1208 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1209 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1210 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1213 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1214 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1215 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1218 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1220 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1221 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1222 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1225 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1226 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1227 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1228 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1230 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1231 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1232 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1235 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1238 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1239 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1240 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1244 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1245 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1247 * Moose::Meta::Class
1248 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1250 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1252 * Moose::Meta::Class
1253 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1254 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1257 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1258 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1261 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1262 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1265 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1268 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1270 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1271 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1274 * Moose::Meta::Class
1275 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1277 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1278 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1281 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1282 * More deprecations and renamings
1283 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1284 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1285 when an object is constructed)
1288 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1289 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1290 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1292 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1293 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1294 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1295 feature, and it works again.
1298 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1300 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1302 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1303 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1304 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1306 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1307 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1308 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1309 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1310 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1312 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1313 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1314 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1315 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1316 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1319 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1320 metaclass object. (hdp)
1322 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1323 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1324 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1325 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1326 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1327 point out this fact. (hdp)
1329 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1330 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1332 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1333 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1335 * Moose::Meta::Class
1336 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1337 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1338 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1339 called during instance construction were passed the
1340 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1341 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1343 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1344 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1347 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1348 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1349 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1352 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1353 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1354 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1355 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1356 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1358 - Moose::Meta::Class
1359 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1361 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1362 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1363 when an object is constructed)
1364 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1366 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1367 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1368 when an object is constructed)
1369 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1370 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1371 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1374 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1376 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1377 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1379 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1381 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1382 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1383 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1385 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1386 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1387 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1389 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1391 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1392 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1394 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1395 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1398 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1399 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1402 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1403 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1404 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1406 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1407 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1411 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1412 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1413 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1416 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1419 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1420 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1421 with recommended workarounds.
1423 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1424 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1426 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1427 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1428 (yes, spelled like that).
1430 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1431 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1433 * Moose::Meta::Class
1434 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1435 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1437 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1439 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1440 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1441 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1442 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1443 instead. Reported by doy.
1445 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1447 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1448 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1450 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1451 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1452 message) is now deprecated.
1453 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1454 often got it wrong. For example:
1456 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1458 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1462 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1463 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1464 bite you in weird cases.
1466 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1467 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1468 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1469 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1471 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1472 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1476 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1479 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1480 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1483 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1484 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1486 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1487 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1490 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1492 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1493 - added tests for this (stevan)
1495 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1496 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1497 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1498 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1502 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1503 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1504 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1505 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1507 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1508 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1509 - added tests for this (rafl)
1511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1512 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1513 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1514 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1518 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1519 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1522 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1523 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1524 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1526 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1528 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1529 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1531 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1532 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1533 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1534 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1535 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1537 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1538 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1539 error message did not specify the attribute name
1542 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1544 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1546 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1547 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1548 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1550 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1551 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1554 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1556 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1557 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1558 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1559 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1561 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1563 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1564 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1565 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1566 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1568 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1569 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1570 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1572 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1573 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1574 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1575 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1576 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1578 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1579 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1580 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1581 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1582 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1584 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1585 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1586 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1587 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1588 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1589 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1591 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1592 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1593 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1594 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1595 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1596 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1598 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1599 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1601 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1602 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1603 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1604 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1606 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1607 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1610 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1614 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1615 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1617 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1618 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1619 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1620 guts. (nothingmuch).
1622 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1624 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1626 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1627 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1628 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1629 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1631 * Moose::Meta::Class
1632 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1635 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1636 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1638 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1639 * Moose::Unsweetened
1640 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1643 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1644 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1645 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1646 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1647 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1648 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1651 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1652 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1653 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1654 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1655 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1656 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1657 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1658 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1659 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1661 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1663 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1664 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1666 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1667 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1668 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1669 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1671 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1672 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1673 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1674 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1675 same methods for a single role did not work
1676 right (worked just fine with multiple
1678 - added test for this (stevan)
1680 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1681 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1682 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1685 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1686 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1687 - added test for this (t0m)
1690 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1691 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1692 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1694 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1695 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1696 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1697 - added test for this (t0m)
1699 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1700 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1701 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1702 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1703 - added test for this (perigrin)
1706 - create method for constructing a role
1707 dynamically (Sartak)
1708 - added test for this (Sartak)
1709 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1710 - added test for this (Sartak)
1713 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1715 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1716 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1717 methods is useful (Sartak)
1719 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1720 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1721 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1724 * Moose::Meta::Class
1725 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1726 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1727 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1728 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1729 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1730 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1733 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1734 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1736 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1737 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1738 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1739 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1740 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1742 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1744 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1745 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1746 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1749 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1750 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1751 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1752 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1753 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1754 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1757 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1758 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1759 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1760 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1761 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1762 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1763 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1764 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1765 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1766 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1767 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1769 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1770 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1773 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1774 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1775 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1776 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1777 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1779 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1781 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1782 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1783 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1785 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1786 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1789 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1790 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1791 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1794 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1795 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1797 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1799 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1800 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1802 * Moose::Meta::Class
1803 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1804 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1805 a required attribute
1807 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1808 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1809 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1810 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1812 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1813 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1815 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1816 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1817 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1818 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1819 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1820 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1821 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1822 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1824 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1825 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1826 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1828 * Roles and role application
1829 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1830 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1831 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1832 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1833 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1835 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1836 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1839 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1840 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1841 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1842 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1843 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1846 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1847 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1848 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1849 changes in the Moose internals.
1851 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1852 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1853 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1856 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1857 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1858 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1859 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1861 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1862 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1863 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1864 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1866 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1867 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1868 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1869 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1870 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1871 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1872 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1873 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1874 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1875 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1876 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1877 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1878 constraint implementations.
1880 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1884 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1885 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1886 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1887 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1888 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1889 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1890 - added tests for this (rafl)
1892 * Moose::Meta::Class
1893 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1894 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1895 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1896 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1897 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1898 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1899 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1900 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1903 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1904 - added tests for this (thepler)
1906 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1907 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1908 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1909 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1912 * Moose::Meta::Class
1913 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1914 * Moose::Meta::Method
1917 * Moose::Error::Default
1918 * Moose::Error::Croak
1919 * Moose::Error::Confess
1920 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1921 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1922 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1923 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1924 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1925 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1927 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1929 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1930 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1932 * Moose::Unsweetened
1933 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1934 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1935 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1937 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1938 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1939 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1940 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1941 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1944 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1945 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1947 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1948 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1949 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1950 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1953 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1955 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1956 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1958 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1961 - Various bug fixes.
1963 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1964 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1966 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1968 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1969 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1970 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1971 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1972 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1973 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1975 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1976 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1977 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1979 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1980 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1981 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1984 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1985 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1986 dependency to 0.64_07.
1988 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1989 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1990 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1992 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1993 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1996 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1997 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1998 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1999 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2000 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2001 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2003 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2004 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2006 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2008 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2009 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2013 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2014 method when that method was provided by another role being
2015 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2016 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2018 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2020 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2021 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2023 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2024 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2025 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2026 - added test for this (t0m)
2028 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2029 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2030 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2032 - added test for this (t0m)
2035 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2036 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2037 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2040 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2041 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2043 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2045 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2046 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2048 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2049 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an

2123 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2124 ... this is not my day today ...
2126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2127 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2128 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2129 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2130 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2133 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2134 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2135 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2136 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2137 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2140 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2142 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2143 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2175 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2176 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2177 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2178 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2179 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2180 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2181 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2182 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2183 - added tests for this
2185 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2186 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2296 XS based functionality is now optional
2297 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2747 - added tests for this
2749 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2750 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2751 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2752 types without having to explictly define them
2753 - added tests for this
2755 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2756 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2757 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2759 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2760 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2761 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2762 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2763 - added tests for this
2764 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2765 a single type at different times instead of
2766 having to do it all in one place
2767 - added tests for this
2769 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2770 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2771 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2774 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2775 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2776 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2777 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2778 new features above (although you cannot add
2779 more type coercions for Union types)
2781 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2782 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2783 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2784 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2785 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2786 - added tests for this.
2787 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2788 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2789 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2790 - added tests for this
2791 - added docs for this
2793 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2794 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2795 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2796 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2797 instead it will just return undef.
2798 - added docs for this
2800 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2812 with work correctly.
2813 - added tests for this
2816 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2817 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2820 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2821 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2822 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2824 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2825 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2836 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2838 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2856 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2859 - fixed how required methods are handled
2860 when they encounter overriden or modified
2861 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2862 - added tests for this
2864 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2865 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2866 the | always creates a union and so is
2867 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2868 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2870 - added more tests for this
2872 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2875 * Parameterized Types
2876 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2877 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2878 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2879 They can also be nested:
2880 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2881 And work with the type unions as well:
2882 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2884 * Better Framework Extendability
2885 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2886 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2887 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2888 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2891 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2892 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2893 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2894 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2897 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2899 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2900 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2931 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2933 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2934 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2935 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2936 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2938 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2939 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

2942 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2943 +++ with new features added as well +++
2945 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2949 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2951 - added tests for this
2953 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2959 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2960 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2962 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2963 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2964 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2965 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2979 (thanks to shlomif).
2981 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2982 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2983 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2984 - added tests for this
2985 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2987 - added tests for this
2989 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2990 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

3021 - added tests for these
3023 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3024 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3027 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3028 to the 'handles' option.
3029 - added tests and docs for this

3032 (but not changing the handles option)
3033 - added tests and docs for this
3036 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3037 so that required methods can come from superclasses

3041 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3042 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3048 the other side (perigrin)
3050 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3051 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3052 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3053 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3054 prototypes for functions
3055 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3056 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3066 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3069 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3070 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3071 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3072 - added tests for this
3074 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3076 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3092 * Moose::Meta::Class
3093 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3094 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3095 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3097 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3098 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3100 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3101 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3102 so this release is just to fix that.
3105 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3106 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3107 (thanks to konobi for this)
3108 - added tests and docs
3110 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3111 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3113 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3114 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3115 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3116 - added tests for this
3117 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3118 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3119 functions to facilitate introspection.
3121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3122 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3123 to build the list of delegated methods
3124 correctly (and not override important
3125 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3127 - added tests and docs for this
3128 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3129 so that you can actually document your
3130 attributes and inspect them through the
3132 - added tests and docs for this
3134 * Moose::Meta::Class
3135 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3136 it will first look in for the class in the
3137 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3138 then default to just loading $name.
3139 - added tests and docs for this
3141 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3142 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3143 - added test for this
3146 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3147 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3148 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3149 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3151 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3152 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3155 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3157 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3158 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3159 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3162 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3163 !! for this developer release to work !!
3165 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3166 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3167 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3168 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3169 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3170 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3171 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3172 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3173 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3174 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3175 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3177 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3178 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3179 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3180 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3183 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3184 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3185 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3186 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3187 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3189 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3191 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3192 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3195 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3196 called unless they actually need to be.
3197 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3198 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3199 DEMOLISH method present.
3201 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3202 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3203 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3204 type constraint, which allows for a
3205 hand optimized version of the type
3206 constraint to be used when possible.
3207 - Any internally created type constraints
3208 now provide an optimized version as well.
3210 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3212 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3213 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3214 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3217 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3218 your class namespace of these exported
3221 * Moose::Meta::Class
3222 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3223 comes up during global destruction
3225 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3229 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3232 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3233 - changed how we do type checks so that
3234 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3237 - moved accessor generation methods to
3238 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3239 conform to the API changes from
3242 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3243 - changed how constraints are compiled
3244 so that we do less recursion and more
3245 iteration. This makes the type check
3247 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3250 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3251 - created this from methods formerly found in
3252 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3254 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3255 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3258 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3260 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3261 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3263 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3266 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3267 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3268 - added tests for this
3269 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3270 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3271 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3272 - removed tests for this
3274 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3276 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3277 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3278 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3281 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3282 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3283 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3285 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3286 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3287 comments for more info.
3290 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3291 asked questions and common problems
3293 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3294 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3295 - added tests for this
3297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3298 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3299 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3300 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3302 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3303 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3306 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3307 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3308 is much appreciated :)
3309 - added tests for this
3311 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3312 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3313 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3316 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3317 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3319 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3321 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3322 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3326 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3327 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3328 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3330 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3332 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3335 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3336 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3337 keywords because we need to localize them.
3338 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3340 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3341 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3342 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3345 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3348 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3349 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3350 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3353 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3354 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3355 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3357 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3359 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3360 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3361 bottom of your class file.
3364 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3367 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3369 - improved error message when loading modules so
3370 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3371 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3372 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3375 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3376 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3377 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3379 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3380 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3382 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3383 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3384 turn them on for you.
3385 - added tests for this
3386 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3387 in Moose::Meta::Class
3390 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3391 automatically turned on for you.
3392 - added tests for this
3395 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3396 - added tests for this
3397 - added some more edge case tests

3409 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3410 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3413 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3414 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3415 - This release works in combination with
3416 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3417 release because it uses the a new
3418 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3419 complete Role implementation. It has
3420 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3421 the the previous CPAN version. This
3422 release also lacks good updated docs,
3423 the official release will have updated docs.
3426 - refactored the keyword exports
3427 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3428 accepts more than one Role at a time
3429 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3430 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3433 - refactored the keyword exports
3434 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3435 accepts more than one Role at a time
3437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3438 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3439 string enumerations which can be used as
3441 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t

3447 - much work done on the role composition
3448 - many new tests for conflict detection
3449 and composition edge cases

3474 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3475 thanks to chansen for this commit
