1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
9 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
10 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects which
11 implementation is a regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
13 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
17 * Update conflicts list.
20 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
24 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
25 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
26 details. (Dave Rolsky)
28 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
29 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
30 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
31 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
32 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
36 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
37 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
38 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
39 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
40 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
43 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
47 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
48 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
50 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
53 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
57 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
58 immutable classes). (mo)
60 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
61 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
62 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
64 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
68 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
70 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
72 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
76 * Fix some indexing issues.
78 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
80 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
84 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
85 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
86 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
87 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
88 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
90 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
91 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
96 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
97 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
98 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
99 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
101 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
102 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
103 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
107 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
108 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
111 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
115 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
116 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
120 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
124 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
125 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
126 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
127 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
130 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
134 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
137 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
141 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
142 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
143 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
145 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
149 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
150 policy. (Chris Prather)
152 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
153 on this new support policy. (doy)
157 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
158 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
159 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
161 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
162 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
164 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
168 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
169 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
170 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
171 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
174 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
178 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
179 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
182 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
186 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
187 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
189 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
190 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
194 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
195 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
196 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
197 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
198 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
199 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
201 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
202 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
204 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
205 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
206 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
207 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
209 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
210 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
212 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
217 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
218 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
220 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
224 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
225 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
226 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
228 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
232 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
233 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
234 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
236 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
237 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
240 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
241 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
244 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
245 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
246 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
248 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
249 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
254 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
255 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
256 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
257 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
259 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
260 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
262 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
263 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
265 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
266 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
267 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
268 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
270 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
271 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
272 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
275 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
276 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
277 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
278 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
280 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
281 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
284 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
285 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
286 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
288 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
292 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
293 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
294 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
296 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
297 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
298 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
301 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
302 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
303 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
305 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
306 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
307 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
309 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
310 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
314 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
315 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
316 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
318 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
319 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
320 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
321 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
323 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
327 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
328 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
329 value is a reference.
331 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
332 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
334 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
338 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
339 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
340 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
342 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
346 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
347 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
351 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
352 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
353 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
355 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
356 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
357 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
359 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
363 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
365 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
369 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
371 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
372 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
377 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
378 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
380 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
381 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
382 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
383 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
384 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
386 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
387 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
388 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
389 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
391 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
395 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
396 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
401 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
403 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
405 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
410 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
412 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
416 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
417 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
418 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
420 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
421 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
422 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
423 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
425 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
426 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
427 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
428 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
429 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
432 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
437 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
438 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
439 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
440 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
441 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
444 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
448 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
451 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
452 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
456 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
457 function (not just method). (doy)
461 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
462 and aren't easily installable/testable.
464 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
468 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
469 to be overridden more easily (doy).
471 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
475 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
476 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
478 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
482 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
483 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
484 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
486 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
490 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
491 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
492 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
494 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
495 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
499 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
500 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
502 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
503 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
507 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
508 is applied to a class (t0m).
510 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
511 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
513 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
516 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
517 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
519 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
520 be much more robust. (doy)
522 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
524 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
527 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
531 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
532 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
534 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
538 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
539 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
541 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
544 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
545 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
546 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
548 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
549 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
550 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
553 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
555 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
559 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
560 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
564 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
566 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
570 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
571 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
575 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
576 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
580 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
582 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
586 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
587 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
591 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
592 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
596 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
597 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
599 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
603 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
604 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
605 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
608 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
612 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
613 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
614 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
615 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
617 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
621 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
622 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
623 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
627 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
630 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
634 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
635 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
636 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
640 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
641 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
643 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
644 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
645 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
646 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
648 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
652 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
656 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
657 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
659 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
660 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
661 - Moose::Util::does_role
662 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
663 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
664 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
666 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
670 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
671 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
672 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
675 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
679 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
680 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
683 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
687 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
688 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
691 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
695 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
697 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
698 class. (Dave Rolsky).
700 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
701 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
702 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
704 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
705 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
706 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
709 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
710 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
712 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
713 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
714 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
716 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
718 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
719 substr et al, again. (sorear)
721 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
723 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
726 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
727 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
729 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
730 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
732 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
733 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
734 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
735 dependencies installed.
737 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
738 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
741 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
743 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
747 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
749 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
750 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
751 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
753 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
754 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
755 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
757 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
758 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
761 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
762 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
763 others. (nothingmuch)
765 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
766 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
767 remove_accessors. (doy)
769 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
770 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
771 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
773 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
774 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
776 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
777 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
778 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
779 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
782 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
783 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
785 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
786 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
788 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
790 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
791 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
794 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
795 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
796 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
797 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
798 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
800 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
801 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
802 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
803 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
804 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
805 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
806 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
809 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
810 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
811 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
812 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
813 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
815 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
816 which were not receiving the value of
817 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
818 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
819 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
820 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
824 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
825 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
826 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
827 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
828 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
831 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
832 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
833 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
834 - added tests for this (Stevan)
837 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
838 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
839 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
842 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
843 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
844 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
846 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
847 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
848 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
851 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
852 class if you pass it options for
853 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
854 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
855 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
856 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
857 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
858 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
859 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
860 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
861 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
863 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
864 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
865 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
866 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
867 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
870 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
871 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
872 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
873 existing delegation API. (hdp)
875 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
876 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
877 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
878 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
879 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
880 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
883 * Moose::Error::Croak
884 * Moose::Error::Confess
885 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
886 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
889 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
892 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
893 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
894 installing a broken sub. (doy)
897 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
900 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
901 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
902 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
904 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
905 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
906 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
907 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
908 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
910 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
911 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
914 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
916 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
917 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
920 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
921 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
923 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
924 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
925 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
926 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
928 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
929 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
930 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
931 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
932 using it for new code!
934 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
935 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
936 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
937 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
939 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
940 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
941 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
942 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
943 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
944 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
945 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
946 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
949 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
952 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
953 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
957 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
959 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
960 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
961 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
964 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
965 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
966 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
969 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
970 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
972 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
973 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
974 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
977 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
978 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
979 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
980 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
981 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
982 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
984 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
986 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
989 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
990 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
991 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
993 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
994 associated_methods. (hdp)
995 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
996 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
997 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
998 misspelled) arguments
1000 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1001 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1002 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1003 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1005 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1006 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1007 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1009 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1012 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1013 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1014 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1017 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1018 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1020 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1021 * Moose::Meta::Class
1022 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1023 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1025 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1026 * Moose::Manual::Types
1027 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1028 string parsing rathole (mst)
1030 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1031 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1032 using plain objects instead
1034 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1035 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1036 that's what we need.
1038 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1039 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1040 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1041 three times today (perigrin)
1042 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1043 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1045 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1046 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1047 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1048 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1051 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1052 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1053 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1054 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1055 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1056 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1059 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1060 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1061 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1062 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1065 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1067 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1070 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1072 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1075 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1076 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1077 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1081 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1082 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1085 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1086 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1088 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1089 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1090 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1092 * Moose::Unsweetened
1093 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1095 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1096 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1099 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1103 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1104 methods during global destruction (doy)
1106 * Moose::Meta::Class
1107 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1108 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1109 consumption (Sartak)
1111 * Moose::Meta::Class
1112 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1113 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1116 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1117 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1120 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1121 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1123 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1125 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1129 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1130 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1131 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1134 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1135 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1136 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1139 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1141 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1142 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1143 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1146 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1147 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1148 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1149 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1151 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1152 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1153 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1156 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1159 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1160 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1161 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1165 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1166 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1168 * Moose::Meta::Class
1169 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1171 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1173 * Moose::Meta::Class
1174 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1175 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1178 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1179 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1182 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1183 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1186 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1189 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1191 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1192 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1195 * Moose::Meta::Class
1196 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1198 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1199 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1202 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1203 * More deprecations and renamings
1204 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1205 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1206 when an object is constructed)
1209 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1210 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1211 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1213 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1214 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1215 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1216 feature, and it works again.
1219 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1221 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1223 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1224 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1225 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1227 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1228 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1229 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1230 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1231 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1233 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1234 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1235 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1236 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1237 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1240 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1241 metaclass object. (hdp)
1243 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1244 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1245 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1246 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1247 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1248 point out this fact. (hdp)
1250 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1251 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1253 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1254 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1256 * Moose::Meta::Class
1257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1258 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1259 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1260 called during instance construction were passed the
1261 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1262 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1264 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1265 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1268 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1269 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1270 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1273 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1274 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1275 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1276 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1277 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1279 - Moose::Meta::Class
1280 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1282 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1283 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1284 when an object is constructed)
1285 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1287 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1288 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1289 when an object is constructed)
1290 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1291 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1292 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1295 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1297 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1298 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1300 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1302 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1303 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1304 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1306 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1307 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1308 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1310 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1312 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1313 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1315 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1316 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1319 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1320 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1323 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1324 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1325 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1327 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1328 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1332 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1333 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1334 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1336 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1337 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1340 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1341 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1342 with recommended workarounds.
1344 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1345 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1347 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1348 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1349 (yes, spelled like that).
1351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1352 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1354 * Moose::Meta::Class
1355 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1356 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1358 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1360 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1361 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1362 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1363 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1364 instead. Reported by doy.
1366 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1368 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1369 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1372 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1373 message) is now deprecated.
1374 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1375 often got it wrong. For example:
1377 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1379 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1383 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1384 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1385 bite you in weird cases.
1387 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1388 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1389 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1390 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1392 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1393 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1397 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1400 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1401 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1404 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1405 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1407 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1408 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1411 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1412 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1413 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1414 - added tests for this (stevan)
1416 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1417 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1418 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1419 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1423 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1424 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1425 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1426 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1428 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1429 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1430 - added tests for this (rafl)
1432 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1433 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1434 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1435 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1439 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1440 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1443 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1444 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1445 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1447 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1449 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1450 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1452 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1453 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1454 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1455 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1456 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1459 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1460 error message did not specify the attribute name
1463 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1465 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1467 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1468 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1469 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1472 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1475 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1477 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1478 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1479 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1480 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1482 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1484 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1485 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1486 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1487 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1490 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1491 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1493 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1494 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1495 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1496 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1497 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1500 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1501 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1502 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1503 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1506 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1507 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1508 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1509 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1510 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1512 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1513 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1514 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1515 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1516 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1517 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1519 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1520 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1522 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1523 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1524 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1525 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1527 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1528 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1531 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1535 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1536 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1538 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1539 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1540 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1541 guts. (nothingmuch).
1543 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1544 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1545 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1547 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1548 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1549 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1550 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1552 * Moose::Meta::Class
1553 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1556 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1557 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1559 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1560 * Moose::Unsweetened
1561 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1564 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1565 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1566 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1567 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1568 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1569 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1571 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1572 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1573 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1574 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1575 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1576 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1577 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1578 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1579 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1580 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1582 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1584 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1585 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1587 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1588 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1589 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1590 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1592 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1593 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1594 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1595 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1596 same methods for a single role did not work
1597 right (worked just fine with multiple
1599 - added test for this (stevan)
1601 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1602 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1603 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1606 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1607 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1608 - added test for this (t0m)
1611 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1612 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1613 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1615 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1616 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1617 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1618 - added test for this (t0m)
1620 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1621 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1622 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1623 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1624 - added test for this (perigrin)
1627 - create method for constructing a role
1628 dynamically (Sartak)
1629 - added test for this (Sartak)
1630 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1631 - added test for this (Sartak)
1634 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1636 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1637 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1638 methods is useful (Sartak)
1640 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1642 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1645 * Moose::Meta::Class
1646 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1647 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1648 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1649 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1650 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1651 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1654 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1655 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1657 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1658 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1659 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1660 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1661 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1663 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1665 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1666 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1667 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1670 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1671 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1672 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1673 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1674 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1675 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1678 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1679 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1680 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1681 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1682 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1683 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1684 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1685 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1686 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1687 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1688 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1690 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1691 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1694 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1695 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1696 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1697 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1698 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1700 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1702 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1703 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1704 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1706 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1707 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1709 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1710 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1711 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1712 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1715 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1716 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1718 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1720 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1721 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1723 * Moose::Meta::Class
1724 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1725 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1726 a required attribute
1728 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1729 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1730 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1731 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1733 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1734 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1736 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1737 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1738 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1739 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1740 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1741 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1742 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1743 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1745 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1746 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1747 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1749 * Roles and role application
1750 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1751 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1752 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1753 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1754 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1756 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1757 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1760 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1761 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1762 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1763 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1764 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1767 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1768 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1769 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1770 changes in the Moose internals.
1772 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1773 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1774 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1777 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1778 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1779 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1780 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1782 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1783 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1784 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1785 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1787 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1788 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1789 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1790 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1791 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1792 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1793 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1794 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1795 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1796 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1797 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1798 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1799 constraint implementations.
1801 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1805 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1806 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1807 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1808 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1809 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1810 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1811 - added tests for this (rafl)
1813 * Moose::Meta::Class
1814 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1815 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1816 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1817 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1818 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1819 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1820 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1821 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1824 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1825 - added tests for this (thepler)
1827 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1828 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1829 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1830 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1833 * Moose::Meta::Class
1834 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1835 * Moose::Meta::Method
1838 * Moose::Error::Default
1839 * Moose::Error::Croak
1840 * Moose::Error::Confess
1841 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1842 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1843 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1844 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1845 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1846 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1848 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1850 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1851 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1853 * Moose::Unsweetened
1854 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1855 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1856 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1858 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1859 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1860 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1861 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1862 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1865 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1866 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1868 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1869 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1870 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1871 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1874 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1876 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1877 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1879 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1882 - Various bug fixes.
1884 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1885 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1887 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1889 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1890 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1891 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1892 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1893 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1894 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1896 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1897 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1898 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1900 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1901 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1902 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1905 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1906 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1907 dependency to 0.64_07.
1909 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1910 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1911 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1913 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1914 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1917 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1918 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1919 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1920 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1921 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1922 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1924 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1925 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1927 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1929 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1930 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1934 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1935 method when that method was provided by another role being
1936 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1937 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1939 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1941 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1942 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1944 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1945 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1946 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1947 - added test for this (t0m)
1949 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1950 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1951 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1953 - added test for this (t0m)
1956 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1957 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1958 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1961 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1962 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1964 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1966 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1967 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1969 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1970 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1971 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1973 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1974 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1977 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1978 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1979 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1980 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1984 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1985 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1986 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1989 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1990 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1991 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1992 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1995 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1999 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2000 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2001 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2003 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2004 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2005 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2006 created so that the process can be more easily
2007 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2009 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2010 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2011 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2012 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2014 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2015 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2018 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2019 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2021 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2022 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2023 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2025 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2026 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2027 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2029 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2030 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2032 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2033 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2036 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2037 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2041 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2042 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2044 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2045 ... this is not my day today ...
2047 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2048 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2049 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2050 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2051 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2054 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2055 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2056 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2057 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2058 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2061 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2063 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2064 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2065 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2066 this is not ever something you want to do
2067 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2068 - added tests for this (stevan)

2096 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2097 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2098 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2099 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2100 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2101 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2102 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2103 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2104 - added tests for this
2106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2107 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2108 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2109 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2111 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2217 XS based functionality is now optional
2218 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2219 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2220 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2323 drink more coffee before
2324 doing release engineering
2326 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2734 - added tests for this
2737 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2738 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2742 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2743 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2745 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2777 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2780 - fixed how required methods are handled
2781 when they encounter overriden or modified
2782 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2783 - added tests for this
2785 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2786 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2787 the | always creates a union and so is
2788 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2789 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2791 - added more tests for this
2793 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2796 * Parameterized Types
2797 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2798 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2799 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2800 They can also be nested:
2801 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2802 And work with the type unions as well:
2803 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2805 * Better Framework Extendability
2806 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2807 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2808 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2809 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2812 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2813 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2814 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2815 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2818 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2820 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2880 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2881 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2883 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2900 (thanks to shlomif).
2902 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2903 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2904 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2905 - added tests for this

2969 the other side (perigrin)
2971 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2972 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2973 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2974 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2975 prototypes for functions
2976 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2977 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2987 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2990 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2991 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2992 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2993 - added tests for this
2995 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2997 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3018 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3019 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3021 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3022 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3023 so this release is just to fix that.
3026 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3027 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3028 (thanks to konobi for this)
3029 - added tests and docs
3031 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

3034 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3035 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3036 thanks to phaylon for finding this

3039 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3040 functions to facilitate introspection.
3042 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3043 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3044 to build the list of delegated methods
3045 correctly (and not override important
3046 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3048 - added tests and docs for this
3049 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3050 so that you can actually document your
3051 attributes and inspect them through the
3053 - added tests and docs for this
3055 * Moose::Meta::Class
3056 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3057 it will first look in for the class in the
3058 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3059 then default to just loading $name.
3060 - added tests and docs for this
3062 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3063 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3064 - added test for this
3067 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3068 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3069 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3070 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3072 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3073 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3076 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3078 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3079 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3080 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3083 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3084 !! for this developer release to work !!
3086 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3087 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3088 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3089 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3090 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3091 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3092 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3093 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3094 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3095 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3096 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3098 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3099 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3100 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3101 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3104 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3105 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3106 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3107 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3108 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3110 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3112 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3113 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3116 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3117 called unless they actually need to be.
3118 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3119 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3120 DEMOLISH method present.
3122 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3123 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3124 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3125 type constraint, which allows for a
3126 hand optimized version of the type
3127 constraint to be used when possible.
3128 - Any internally created type constraints
3129 now provide an optimized version as well.
3131 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3133 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3134 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3135 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3137 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3138 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3139 your class namespace of these exported
3142 * Moose::Meta::Class
3143 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3144 comes up during global destruction
3146 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3150 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3153 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3154 - changed how we do type checks so that
3155 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3158 - moved accessor generation methods to
3159 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3160 conform to the API changes from
3163 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3164 - changed how constraints are compiled
3165 so that we do less recursion and more
3166 iteration. This makes the type check
3168 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3171 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3172 - created this from methods formerly found in
3173 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3175 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3176 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3178 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3179 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3182 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3184 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3186 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3187 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3188 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3189 - added tests for this
3190 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3191 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3192 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3193 - removed tests for this
3195 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3197 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3198 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3199 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3202 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3203 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3204 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3206 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3207 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3208 comments for more info.
3211 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3212 asked questions and common problems
3214 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3215 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3216 - added tests for this
3218 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3219 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3220 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3221 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3223 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3224 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3227 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3228 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3229 is much appreciated :)
3230 - added tests for this
3232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3233 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3234 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3237 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3238 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3240 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3242 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3243 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3247 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3248 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3249 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3251 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3253 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3256 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3257 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3258 keywords because we need to localize them.
3259 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3261 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3262 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3263 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3266 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3269 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3270 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3271 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3274 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3275 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3276 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3278 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3280 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3281 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3282 bottom of your class file.
3285 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3288 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3290 - improved error message when loading modules so
3291 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3292 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3293 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3296 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3297 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3298 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3300 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3301 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3303 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3304 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3305 turn them on for you.
3306 - added tests for this
3307 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3308 in Moose::Meta::Class
3311 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3312 automatically turned on for you.
3313 - added tests for this
3316 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3317 - added tests for this
3318 - added some more edge case tests

3330 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3331 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3334 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3335 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3336 - This release works in combination with
3337 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3338 release because it uses the a new
3339 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3340 complete Role implementation. It has
3341 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3342 the the previous CPAN version. This
3343 release also lacks good updated docs,
3344 the official release will have updated docs.
3347 - refactored the keyword exports
3348 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3349 accepts more than one Role at a time
3350 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3351 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3354 - refactored the keyword exports
3355 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3356 accepts more than one Role at a time
3358 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3359 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3360 string enumerations which can be used as
3362 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3365 - more careful checking of params to new()
3368 - much work done on the role composition
3369 - many new tests for conflict detection
3370 and composition edge cases
3371 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3372 looking at the tests
3374 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3375 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3376 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3378 * Moose::Meta::Class
3379 - some small changes to support the new
3381 - some small additions to support Roles
3383 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3384 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3386 - some small changes to support the new
3388 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3389 with the 'handles' option
3390 - added several tests for this
3391 - no docs for this yet
3393 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3395 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3396 thanks to chansen for this commit
3397 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3398 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3399 on a per-attribute basis
3400 - added tests for this
3401 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3402 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3403 experimental feature and probably not finished
3404 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3405 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3406 - added tests for this
3409 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3411 * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints
3412 - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks
3413 to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice
3415 - added some tests for this
3416 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3417 thanks to chansen for this commit
3419 * Moose::Meta::Class
3420 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
3421 construct_instance (for the better)
3423 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3424 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
3425 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
3427 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3428 - added type constraint unions
3429 - added tests for this
3430 - added the is_subtype_of predicate method
