1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
9 immutable classes). (mo)
11 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
12 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
13 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
15 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
19 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
21 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
23 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
27 * Fix some indexing issues.
29 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
31 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
35 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
36 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
37 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
38 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
39 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
41 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
42 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
47 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
48 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
49 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
50 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
52 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
53 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
54 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
58 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
59 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
62 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
66 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
67 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
68 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
69 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
72 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
76 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
79 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
83 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
84 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
85 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
87 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
91 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
92 policy. (Chris Prather)
94 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
95 on this new support policy. (doy)
99 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
100 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
101 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
103 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
104 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
106 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
110 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
111 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
112 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
113 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
116 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
120 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
121 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
124 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
128 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
129 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
131 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
132 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
136 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
137 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
138 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
139 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
140 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
141 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
143 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
144 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
146 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
147 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
148 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
149 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
151 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
152 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
154 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
159 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
160 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
162 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
166 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
167 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
168 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
170 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
174 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
175 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
176 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
178 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
179 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
182 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
183 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
186 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
187 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
188 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
190 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
191 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
196 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
197 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
198 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
199 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
201 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
202 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
204 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
205 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
207 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
208 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
209 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
210 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
212 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
213 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
214 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
217 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
218 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
219 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
220 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
222 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
223 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
226 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
227 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
228 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
230 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
234 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
235 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
236 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
238 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
239 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
240 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
243 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
244 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
245 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
247 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
248 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
249 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
251 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
252 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
256 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
257 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
258 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
260 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
261 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
262 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
263 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
265 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
269 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
270 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
271 value is a reference.
273 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
274 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
276 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
280 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
281 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
282 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
284 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
288 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
289 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
293 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
294 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
295 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
297 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
298 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
299 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
301 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
305 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
307 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
311 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
313 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
314 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
319 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
320 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
322 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
323 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
324 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
325 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
326 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
328 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
329 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
330 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
331 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
333 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
337 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
338 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
343 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
345 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
347 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
352 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
354 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
358 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
359 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
360 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
362 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
363 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
364 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
365 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
367 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
368 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
369 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
370 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
371 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
374 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
379 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
380 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
381 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
382 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
383 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
386 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
390 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
393 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
394 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
398 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
399 function (not just method). (doy)
403 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
404 and aren't easily installable/testable.
406 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
410 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
411 to be overridden more easily (doy).
413 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
417 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
418 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
420 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
424 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
425 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
426 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
428 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
432 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
433 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
434 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
436 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
437 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
441 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
442 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
444 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
445 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
449 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
450 is applied to a class (t0m).
452 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
453 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
455 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
458 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
459 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
461 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
462 be much more robust. (doy)
464 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
466 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
469 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
473 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
474 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
476 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
480 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
481 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
483 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
486 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
487 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
488 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
490 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
491 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
492 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
495 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
497 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
501 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
502 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
506 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
508 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
512 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
513 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
517 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
518 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
522 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
524 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
528 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
529 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
533 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
534 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
538 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
539 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
541 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
545 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
546 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
547 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
550 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
554 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
555 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
556 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
557 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
559 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
563 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
564 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
565 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
569 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
572 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
576 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
577 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
578 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
582 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
583 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
585 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
586 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
587 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
588 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
590 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
594 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
598 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
599 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
601 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
602 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
603 - Moose::Util::does_role
604 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
605 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
606 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
608 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
612 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
613 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
614 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
617 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
621 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
622 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
625 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
629 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
630 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
633 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
637 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
639 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
640 class. (Dave Rolsky).
642 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
643 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
644 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
646 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
647 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
648 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
651 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
652 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
654 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
655 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
656 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
658 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
660 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
661 substr et al, again. (sorear)
663 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
665 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
668 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
669 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
671 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
672 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
674 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
675 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
676 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
677 dependencies installed.
679 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
680 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
683 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
685 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
689 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
691 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
692 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
693 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
695 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
696 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
697 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
699 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
700 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
703 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
704 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
705 others. (nothingmuch)
707 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
708 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
709 remove_accessors. (doy)
711 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
712 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
713 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
716 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
718 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
719 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
720 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
721 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
724 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
725 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
727 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
728 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
730 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
732 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
733 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
736 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
737 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
738 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
739 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
740 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
742 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
743 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
744 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
745 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
746 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
747 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
748 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
751 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
752 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
753 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
754 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
755 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
757 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
758 which were not receiving the value of
759 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
760 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
761 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
762 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
766 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
767 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
768 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
769 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
770 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
773 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
774 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
775 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
776 - added tests for this (Stevan)
779 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
780 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
781 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
784 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
785 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
786 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
789 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
790 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
793 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
794 class if you pass it options for
795 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
796 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
797 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
798 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
799 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
800 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
801 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
802 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
803 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
805 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
806 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
807 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
808 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
809 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
812 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
813 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
814 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
815 existing delegation API. (hdp)
817 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
818 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
819 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
820 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
821 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
822 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
825 * Moose::Error::Croak
826 * Moose::Error::Confess
827 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
828 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
831 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
834 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
835 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
836 installing a broken sub. (doy)
839 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
842 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
843 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
844 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
846 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
847 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
848 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
849 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
850 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
852 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
853 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
856 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
858 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
859 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
862 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
863 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
865 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
866 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
867 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
868 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
870 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
871 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
872 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
873 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
874 using it for new code!
876 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
877 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
878 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
879 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
881 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
882 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
883 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
884 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
885 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
886 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
887 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
888 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
891 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
894 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
895 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
898 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
899 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
901 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
902 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
903 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
906 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
907 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
908 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
911 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
912 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
914 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
915 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
916 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
919 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
921 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
922 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
923 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
924 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
926 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
928 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
931 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
932 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
933 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
935 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
936 associated_methods. (hdp)
937 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
938 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
939 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
940 misspelled) arguments
942 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
943 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
944 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
945 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
947 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
948 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
949 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
951 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
955 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
956 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
959 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
960 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
962 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
964 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
965 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
967 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
968 * Moose::Manual::Types
969 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
970 string parsing rathole (mst)
972 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
973 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
974 using plain objects instead
976 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
977 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
980 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
982 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
983 three times today (perigrin)
984 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
985 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
987 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
988 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
989 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
990 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
993 - A role's required methods are now represented by
994 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
995 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
996 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
997 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
998 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1001 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1002 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1003 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1004 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1007 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1009 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1012 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1014 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1017 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1018 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1019 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1023 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1024 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1027 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1028 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1030 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1031 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1032 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1034 * Moose::Unsweetened
1035 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1037 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1038 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1041 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1045 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1046 methods during global destruction (doy)
1048 * Moose::Meta::Class
1049 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1050 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1051 consumption (Sartak)
1053 * Moose::Meta::Class
1054 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1055 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1058 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1059 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1062 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1063 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1065 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1067 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1071 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1072 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1073 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1076 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1077 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1078 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1081 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1083 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1084 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1085 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1088 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1089 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1090 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1091 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1093 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1094 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1095 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1098 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1101 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1102 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1103 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1107 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1108 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1110 * Moose::Meta::Class
1111 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1113 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1115 * Moose::Meta::Class
1116 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1117 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1120 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1121 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1124 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1125 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1128 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1131 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1133 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1134 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1137 * Moose::Meta::Class
1138 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1140 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1141 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1144 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1145 * More deprecations and renamings
1146 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1147 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1148 when an object is constructed)
1151 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1152 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1153 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1156 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1157 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1158 feature, and it works again.
1161 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1163 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1165 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1166 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1167 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1170 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1171 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1172 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1173 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1175 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1176 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1177 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1178 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1179 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1182 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1183 metaclass object. (hdp)
1185 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1186 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1187 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1188 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1189 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1190 point out this fact. (hdp)
1192 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1193 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1195 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1196 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1198 * Moose::Meta::Class
1199 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1200 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1201 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1202 called during instance construction were passed the
1203 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1204 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1206 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1207 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1210 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1211 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1212 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1215 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1216 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1217 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1218 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1219 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1221 - Moose::Meta::Class
1222 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1224 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1225 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1226 when an object is constructed)
1227 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1229 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1230 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1231 when an object is constructed)
1232 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1233 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1234 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1237 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1239 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1240 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1242 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1244 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1245 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1246 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1249 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1250 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1252 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1254 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1255 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1257 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1258 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1261 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1262 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1265 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1266 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1267 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1270 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1274 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1275 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1276 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1278 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1279 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1282 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1283 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1284 with recommended workarounds.
1286 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1287 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1289 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1290 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1291 (yes, spelled like that).
1293 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1294 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1296 * Moose::Meta::Class
1297 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1298 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1300 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1302 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1303 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1304 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1305 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1306 instead. Reported by doy.
1308 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1310 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1311 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1313 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1314 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1315 message) is now deprecated.
1316 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1317 often got it wrong. For example:
1319 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1321 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1325 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1326 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1327 bite you in weird cases.
1329 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1330 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1331 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1332 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1334 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1335 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1339 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1342 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1343 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1346 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1347 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1349 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1350 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1353 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1354 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1355 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1356 - added tests for this (stevan)
1358 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1359 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1360 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1361 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1365 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1366 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1367 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1368 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1370 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1371 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1372 - added tests for this (rafl)
1374 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1375 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1376 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1377 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1381 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1382 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1385 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1386 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1387 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1389 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1391 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1392 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1394 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1395 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1396 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1397 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1398 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1400 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1401 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1402 error message did not specify the attribute name
1405 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1407 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1409 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1410 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1411 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1413 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1414 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1417 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1419 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1420 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1421 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1422 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1424 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1426 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1427 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1428 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1429 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1431 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1432 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1433 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1436 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1437 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1438 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1439 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1441 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1442 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1443 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1444 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1445 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1447 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1448 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1449 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1450 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1451 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1452 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1454 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1455 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1456 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1457 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1458 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1459 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1461 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1462 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1464 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1465 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1466 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1467 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1469 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1470 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1473 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1477 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1478 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1480 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1481 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1482 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1483 guts. (nothingmuch).
1485 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1486 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1487 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1490 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1491 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1492 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1494 * Moose::Meta::Class
1495 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1498 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1499 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1501 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1502 * Moose::Unsweetened
1503 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1506 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1507 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1508 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1509 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1510 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1511 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1513 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1514 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1515 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1516 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1517 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1518 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1519 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1520 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1521 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1522 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1524 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1526 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1527 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1529 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1530 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1531 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1532 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1534 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1535 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1536 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1537 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1538 same methods for a single role did not work
1539 right (worked just fine with multiple
1541 - added test for this (stevan)
1543 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1544 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1545 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1548 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1549 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1550 - added test for this (t0m)
1553 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1554 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1555 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1557 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1558 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1559 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1560 - added test for this (t0m)
1562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1563 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1564 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1565 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1566 - added test for this (perigrin)
1569 - create method for constructing a role
1570 dynamically (Sartak)
1571 - added test for this (Sartak)
1572 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1573 - added test for this (Sartak)
1576 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1578 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1579 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1580 methods is useful (Sartak)
1582 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1583 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1584 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1587 * Moose::Meta::Class
1588 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1589 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1590 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1591 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1592 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1593 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1596 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1597 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1599 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1600 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1601 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1602 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1603 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1605 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1607 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1608 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1609 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1612 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1613 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1614 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1615 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1616 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1617 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1620 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1621 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1622 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1623 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1624 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1625 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1626 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1627 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1628 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1629 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1630 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1632 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1633 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1636 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1637 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1638 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1639 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1640 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1642 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1644 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1645 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1646 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1648 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1649 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1651 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1652 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1653 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1654 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1657 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1658 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1660 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1662 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1663 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1665 * Moose::Meta::Class
1666 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1667 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1668 a required attribute
1670 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1671 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1672 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1673 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1675 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1676 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1678 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1679 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1680 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1681 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1682 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1683 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1684 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1685 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1687 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1688 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1689 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1691 * Roles and role application
1692 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1693 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1694 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1695 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1696 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1698 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1699 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1702 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1703 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1704 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1705 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1706 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1709 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1710 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1711 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1712 changes in the Moose internals.
1714 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1716 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1719 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1720 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1721 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1722 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1724 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1725 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1726 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1727 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1729 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1730 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1731 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1732 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1733 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1734 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1735 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1736 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1737 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1738 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1739 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1740 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1741 constraint implementations.
1743 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1747 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1748 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1749 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1750 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1751 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1752 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1753 - added tests for this (rafl)
1755 * Moose::Meta::Class
1756 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1757 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1758 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1759 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1760 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1761 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1762 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1763 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1766 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1767 - added tests for this (thepler)
1769 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1770 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1771 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1772 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1775 * Moose::Meta::Class
1776 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1777 * Moose::Meta::Method
1780 * Moose::Error::Default
1781 * Moose::Error::Croak
1782 * Moose::Error::Confess
1783 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1784 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1785 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1786 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1787 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1788 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1790 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1792 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1793 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1795 * Moose::Unsweetened
1796 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1797 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1798 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1800 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1801 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1802 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1803 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1804 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1807 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1808 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1810 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1811 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1812 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1813 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1816 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1818 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1819 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1821 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1824 - Various bug fixes.
1826 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1827 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1829 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1831 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1832 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1833 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1834 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1835 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1836 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1838 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1839 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1840 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1842 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1843 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1844 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1847 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1848 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1849 dependency to 0.64_07.
1851 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1852 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1853 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1855 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1856 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1859 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1860 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1861 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1862 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1863 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1864 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1866 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1867 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1869 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1871 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1872 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1876 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1877 method when that method was provided by another role being
1878 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1879 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1881 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1883 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1884 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1886 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1887 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1888 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1889 - added test for this (t0m)
1891 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1892 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1893 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1895 - added test for this (t0m)
1898 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1899 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1900 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1903 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1904 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1906 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1908 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1909 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1911 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1912 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1913 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1915 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1916 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1919 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1920 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1921 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1922 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1926 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1927 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1928 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1931 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1932 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1933 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1934 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1937 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1941 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1942 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1943 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1945 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1946 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1947 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1948 created so that the process can be more easily
1949 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1951 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1952 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1953 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1954 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1956 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1957 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1960 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1961 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1963 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1964 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1965 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1967 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1968 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1969 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1971 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1972 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1974 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1975 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1978 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1979 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1983 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1984 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1986 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1987 ... this is not my day today ...
1989 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1990 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1991 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1992 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1993 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1996 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1997 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1998 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1999 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2000 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2003 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2005 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2006 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2007 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2008 this is not ever something you want to do
2009 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2010 - added tests for this (stevan)
2013 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2015 - added test for this
2017 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2018 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2019 - added tests for this (wreis)
2021 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2022 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2023 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2024 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2026 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2027 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2028 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2031 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2033 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2035 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2038 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2039 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2040 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2041 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2042 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2043 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2044 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2045 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2046 - added tests for this
2048 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2049 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2738 * Parameterized Types
2739 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2740 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2741 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2742 They can also be nested:
2743 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2744 And work with the type unions as well:
2745 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2747 * Better Framework Extendability
2748 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2749 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2750 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2751 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2754 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2755 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2756 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2757 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2760 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2762 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2763 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2812 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2814 - added tests for this
2816 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2822 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2823 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2825 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2842 (thanks to shlomif).
2844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2845 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2846 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2847 - added tests for this

2895 (but not changing the handles option)
2896 - added tests and docs for this
2899 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2900 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2903 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2904 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2905 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2911 the other side (perigrin)
2913 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2914 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2915 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2916 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2917 prototypes for functions
2918 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2919 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2927 merlyn for finding this bug
2928 - tests added for this
2929 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2932 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2933 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2934 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2935 - added tests for this
2937 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2939 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2955 * Moose::Meta::Class
2956 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2957 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2958 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2960 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2961 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2963 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2964 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2965 so this release is just to fix that.
2968 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2969 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2970 (thanks to konobi for this)
2971 - added tests and docs
2973 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2981 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2982 functions to facilitate introspection.
2984 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2985 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2986 to build the list of delegated methods
2987 correctly (and not override important
2988 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2990 - added tests and docs for this
2991 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2992 so that you can actually document your
2993 attributes and inspect them through the
2995 - added tests and docs for this
2997 * Moose::Meta::Class
2998 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2999 it will first look in for the class in the
3000 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3001 then default to just loading $name.
3002 - added tests and docs for this
3004 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3005 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3006 - added test for this
3009 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3010 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3011 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3012 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3014 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3015 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3018 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3020 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3021 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3022 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3025 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3026 !! for this developer release to work !!
3028 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3029 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3030 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3031 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3032 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3033 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3034 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3035 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3036 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3037 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3038 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3040 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3041 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3042 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3043 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3046 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3047 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3048 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3049 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3050 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3052 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3054 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3055 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3058 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3059 called unless they actually need to be.
3060 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3061 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3062 DEMOLISH method present.
3064 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3065 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3066 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3067 type constraint, which allows for a
3068 hand optimized version of the type
3069 constraint to be used when possible.
3070 - Any internally created type constraints
3071 now provide an optimized version as well.
3073 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3075 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3076 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3077 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3079 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3080 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3081 your class namespace of these exported
3084 * Moose::Meta::Class
3085 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3086 comes up during global destruction
3088 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3092 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3095 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3096 - changed how we do type checks so that
3097 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3100 - moved accessor generation methods to
3101 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3102 conform to the API changes from
3105 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3106 - changed how constraints are compiled
3107 so that we do less recursion and more
3108 iteration. This makes the type check
3110 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3113 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3114 - created this from methods formerly found in
3115 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3117 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3118 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3120 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3121 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3123 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3124 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3126 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3129 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3130 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3131 - added tests for this
3132 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3133 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3134 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3135 - removed tests for this
3137 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3139 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3140 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3141 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3144 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3145 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3146 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3148 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3149 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3150 comments for more info.
3153 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3154 asked questions and common problems
3156 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3157 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3158 - added tests for this
3160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3161 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3162 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3163 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3165 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3166 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3169 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3170 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3171 is much appreciated :)
3172 - added tests for this
3174 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3175 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3176 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3179 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3180 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3182 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3184 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3185 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3189 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3190 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3191 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3193 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3195 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3198 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3199 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3200 keywords because we need to localize them.
3201 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3203 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3204 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3205 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3208 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3211 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3212 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3213 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3216 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3217 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3218 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3220 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3222 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3223 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3224 bottom of your class file.
3227 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3230 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3232 - improved error message when loading modules so
3233 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3234 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3235 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3238 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3239 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3240 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3242 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3243 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3245 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3246 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3247 turn them on for you.
3248 - added tests for this
3249 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3250 in Moose::Meta::Class

3277 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3278 - This release works in combination with
3279 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3280 release because it uses the a new
3281 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3282 complete Role implementation. It has
3283 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3284 the the previous CPAN version. This
3285 release also lacks good updated docs,
3286 the official release will have updated docs.
3289 - refactored the keyword exports
3290 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3291 accepts more than one Role at a time
3292 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3293 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3296 - refactored the keyword exports
3297 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3298 accepts more than one Role at a time
3300 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3302 string enumerations which can be used as
3304 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3307 - more careful checking of params to new()
3310 - much work done on the role composition
3311 - many new tests for conflict detection
3312 and composition edge cases
3313 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3314 looking at the tests
3316 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3317 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3318 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3333 - no docs for this yet
3335 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3337 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3338 thanks to chansen for this commit
3339 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3340 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3341 on a per-attribute basis
3342 - added tests for this
3343 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3344 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3345 experimental feature and probably not finished
3346 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3347 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3348 - added tests for this
3351 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3409 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3410 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3412 - added test for this
3415 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3416 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
