1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
9 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
13 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
14 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
15 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
16 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
18 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
19 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
20 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
22 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
23 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
26 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their
27 behavior. Previously, they returned true if any of their member types
28 returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must return
29 true. Fixes RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
33 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
34 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
35 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
36 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
39 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
43 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
44 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
47 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
48 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. Fixes
49 RT 69988. (Dave Rolsky)
51 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
52 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
53 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. Fixes RT 60583. (doy)
55 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
56 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
59 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
60 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
61 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
63 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
64 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
69 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
70 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
71 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
72 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
74 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
78 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
79 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
80 the attribute's reference.
84 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
85 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
89 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
90 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
91 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
94 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
95 the Object constraint).
97 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
101 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
102 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
107 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
109 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
113 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
116 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
118 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
122 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
124 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
128 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
131 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
132 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
133 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
135 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
138 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
142 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
144 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
148 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
150 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
154 * Include changes from 2.0010.
156 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
160 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
161 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
165 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
166 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
167 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
172 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
174 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
178 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
179 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
181 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
185 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
187 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
191 * Various packaging issues.
193 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
197 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
198 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
203 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
204 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
205 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
209 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
210 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
211 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
213 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
217 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
218 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
220 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
224 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
225 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
227 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
230 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
231 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
235 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
236 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
238 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
242 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
243 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
247 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
249 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
253 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
255 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
259 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
260 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
262 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
266 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
268 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
272 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
274 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
275 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
277 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
281 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
282 skips every other role. (rjbs)
284 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
285 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
286 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
287 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
288 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
290 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
294 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
295 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
296 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
299 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
304 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
306 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
307 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
309 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
313 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
314 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
315 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
319 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
320 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
322 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
323 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
325 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
326 environments. (doy, mateu)
328 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
332 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
333 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
334 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
335 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
339 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
340 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
342 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
346 * Update conflicts list.
349 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
353 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
354 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
355 details. (Dave Rolsky)
357 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
358 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
359 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
360 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
361 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
365 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
366 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
367 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
368 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
369 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
372 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
376 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
377 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
379 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
382 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
386 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
387 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
388 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
389 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
391 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
392 immutable classes). (mo)
394 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
395 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
396 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
398 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
402 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
404 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
406 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
410 * Fix some indexing issues.
412 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
414 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
418 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
419 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
420 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
421 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
422 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
424 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
425 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
430 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
431 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
432 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
433 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
435 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
436 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
437 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
441 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
442 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
445 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
449 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
450 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
454 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
458 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
459 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
460 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
461 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
464 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
468 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
471 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
475 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
476 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
477 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
480 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
484 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
485 policy. (Chris Prather)
487 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
488 on this new support policy. (doy)
492 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
493 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
494 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
496 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
497 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
499 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
503 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
504 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
505 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
506 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
509 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
513 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
514 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
517 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
521 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
522 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
524 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
525 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
529 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
530 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
531 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
532 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
533 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
534 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
536 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
537 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
539 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
540 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
541 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
542 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
544 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
545 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
547 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
552 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
553 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
555 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
559 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
560 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
561 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
563 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
567 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
568 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
569 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
571 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
572 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
575 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
576 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
579 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
580 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
581 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
583 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
584 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
589 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
590 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
591 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
592 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
594 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
595 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
597 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
598 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
600 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
601 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
602 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
603 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
605 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
606 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
607 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
610 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
611 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
612 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
613 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
615 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
616 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
619 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
620 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
621 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
623 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
627 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
628 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
629 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
631 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
632 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
633 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
636 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
637 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
638 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
640 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
641 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
642 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
644 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
645 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
649 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
650 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
651 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
653 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
654 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
655 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
656 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
658 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
662 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
663 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
664 value is a reference.
666 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
667 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
669 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
673 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
674 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
675 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
677 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
681 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
682 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
686 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
687 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
688 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
690 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
691 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
692 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
694 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
698 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
700 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
704 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
706 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
707 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
712 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
713 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
715 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
716 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
717 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
718 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
719 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
721 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
722 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
723 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
724 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
726 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
730 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
731 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
736 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
738 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
740 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
745 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
747 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
751 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
752 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
753 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
755 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
756 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
757 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
758 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
760 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
761 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
762 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
763 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
764 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
767 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
772 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
773 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
774 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
775 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
776 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
779 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
783 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
786 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
787 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
791 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
792 function (not just method). (doy)
796 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
797 and aren't easily installable/testable.
799 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
803 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
804 to be overridden more easily (doy).
806 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
810 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
811 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
813 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
817 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
818 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
819 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
821 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
825 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
826 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
827 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
829 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
830 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
834 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
835 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
837 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
838 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
842 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
843 is applied to a class (t0m).
845 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
846 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
848 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
851 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
852 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
854 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
855 be much more robust. (doy)
857 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
859 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
862 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
866 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
867 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
869 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
873 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
874 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
876 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
879 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
880 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
881 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
883 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
884 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
885 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
886 Arnfjörð Bjarmason)
888 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
890 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
894 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
895 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
899 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
901 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
905 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
906 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
910 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
911 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
915 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
917 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
921 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
922 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
926 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
927 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
931 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
932 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
934 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
938 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
939 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
940 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
943 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
947 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
948 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
949 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
950 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
952 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
956 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
957 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
958 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
962 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
965 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
969 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
970 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
971 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
975 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
976 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
978 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
979 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
980 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
981 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
983 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
987 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
991 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
992 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
994 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
995 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
996 - Moose::Util::does_role
997 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
998 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
999 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1001 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1005 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1006 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1007 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1010 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1014 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1015 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1018 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1022 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1023 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1026 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1030 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1032 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1033 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1035 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1036 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1037 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1039 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1040 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1041 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1044 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1045 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1047 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1048 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1049 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1051 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1053 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1054 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1056 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1058 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1061 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1062 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1064 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1065 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1067 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1068 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1069 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1070 dependencies installed.
1072 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1073 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1076 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1078 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1082 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1084 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1085 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1086 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1088 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1089 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1090 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1092 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1093 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1096 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1097 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1098 others. (nothingmuch)
1100 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1101 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1102 remove_accessors. (doy)
1104 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1105 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1106 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1108 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1109 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1111 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1112 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1113 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1114 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1116 * Moose::Meta::Class
1117 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1118 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1120 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1121 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1123 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1125 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1126 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1129 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1130 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1131 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1132 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1133 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1135 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1137 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1138 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1139 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1140 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1141 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1144 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1145 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1146 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1147 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1148 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1150 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1151 which were not receiving the value of
1152 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1153 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1154 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1155 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1159 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1160 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1161 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1162 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1163 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1166 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1167 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1168 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1169 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1171 * Moose::Meta::Class
1172 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1173 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1174 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1177 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1178 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1179 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1181 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1182 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1183 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1186 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1187 class if you pass it options for
1188 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1189 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1190 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1191 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1192 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1193 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1194 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1195 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1196 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1198 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1199 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1200 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1201 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1202 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1205 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1206 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1207 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1208 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1210 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1211 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1212 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1213 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1214 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1215 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1218 * Moose::Error::Croak
1219 * Moose::Error::Confess
1220 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1221 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1224 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1227 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1228 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1229 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1231 * Moose::Meta::Class
1232 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1235 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1236 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1237 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1239 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1240 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1241 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1242 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1243 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1245 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1246 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1249 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1251 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1252 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1255 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1256 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1259 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1260 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1261 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1263 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1264 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1265 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1266 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1267 using it for new code!
1269 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1270 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1271 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1272 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1274 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1275 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1276 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1277 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1278 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1279 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1280 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1281 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1284 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1287 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1288 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1292 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1294 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1295 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1296 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1298 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1300 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1301 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1303 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1304 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1305 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1308 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1309 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1312 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1314 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1315 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1316 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1317 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1319 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1321 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1324 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1325 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1326 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1328 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1329 associated_methods. (hdp)
1330 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1331 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1332 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1333 misspelled) arguments
1335 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1336 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1337 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1338 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1340 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1341 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1342 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1344 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1348 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1349 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1352 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1353 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1355 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1356 * Moose::Meta::Class
1357 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1358 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1360 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1361 * Moose::Manual::Types
1362 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1363 string parsing rathole (mst)
1365 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1366 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1367 using plain objects instead
1369 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1370 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1371 that's what we need.
1373 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1374 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1375 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1376 three times today (perigrin)
1377 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1378 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1380 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1381 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1382 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1383 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1386 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1387 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1388 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1389 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1390 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1391 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1394 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1395 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1396 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1397 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1400 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1402 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1405 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1407 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1410 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1411 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1412 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1416 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1417 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1420 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1421 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1423 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1424 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1425 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1427 * Moose::Unsweetened
1428 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1430 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1431 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1434 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1438 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1439 methods during global destruction (doy)
1441 * Moose::Meta::Class
1442 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1443 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1444 consumption (Sartak)
1446 * Moose::Meta::Class
1447 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1448 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1451 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1452 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1455 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1456 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1458 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1460 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1464 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1465 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1466 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1469 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1470 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1471 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1474 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1476 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1477 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1478 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1481 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1482 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1483 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1484 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1486 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1487 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1488 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1491 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1494 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1495 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1496 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1500 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1501 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1503 * Moose::Meta::Class
1504 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1506 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1508 * Moose::Meta::Class
1509 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1510 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1513 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1514 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1517 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1518 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1521 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1524 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1526 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1527 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1530 * Moose::Meta::Class
1531 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1533 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1534 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1537 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1538 * More deprecations and renamings
1539 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1540 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1541 when an object is constructed)
1544 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1545 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1546 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1548 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1549 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1550 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1551 feature, and it works again.
1554 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1556 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1558 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1559 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1560 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1563 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1564 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1565 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1566 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1568 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1569 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1570 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1571 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1572 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1575 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1576 metaclass object. (hdp)
1578 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1579 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1580 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1581 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1582 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1583 point out this fact. (hdp)
1585 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1586 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1588 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1589 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1591 * Moose::Meta::Class
1592 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1593 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1594 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1595 called during instance construction were passed the
1596 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1597 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1599 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1600 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1603 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1604 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1605 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1608 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1609 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1610 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1611 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1612 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1614 - Moose::Meta::Class
1615 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1617 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1618 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1619 when an object is constructed)
1620 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1622 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1623 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1624 when an object is constructed)
1625 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1626 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1627 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1630 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1632 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1633 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1635 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1637 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1638 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1639 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1641 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1642 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1643 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1645 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1647 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1648 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1650 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1651 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1654 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1655 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1658 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1659 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1660 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1662 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1663 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1667 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1668 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1669 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1671 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1672 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1675 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1676 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1677 with recommended workarounds.
1679 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1680 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1682 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1683 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1684 (yes, spelled like that).
1686 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1687 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1689 * Moose::Meta::Class
1690 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1691 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1693 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1695 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1696 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1697 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1698 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1699 instead. Reported by doy.
1701 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1703 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1704 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1706 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1707 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1708 message) is now deprecated.
1709 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1710 often got it wrong. For example:
1712 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1714 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1718 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1719 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1720 bite you in weird cases.
1722 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1723 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1724 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1725 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1727 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1728 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1732 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1735 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1736 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1739 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1740 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1742 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1743 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1746 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1747 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1748 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1749 - added tests for this (stevan)
1751 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1752 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1753 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1754 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1758 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1759 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1760 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1761 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1763 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1764 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1765 - added tests for this (rafl)
1767 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1768 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1769 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1770 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1774 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1775 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1778 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1779 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1780 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1782 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1784 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1785 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1787 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1788 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1789 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1790 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1791 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1793 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1794 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1795 error message did not specify the attribute name
1798 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1800 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1802 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1803 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1804 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1806 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1807 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1810 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1812 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1813 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1814 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1815 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1817 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1819 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1820 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1821 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1822 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1824 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1825 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1826 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1829 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1830 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1831 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1832 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1834 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1835 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1836 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1837 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1838 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1840 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1841 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1842 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1843 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1844 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1845 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1847 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1848 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1849 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1850 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1851 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1852 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1854 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1855 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1857 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1858 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1859 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1860 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1862 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1863 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1866 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1870 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1871 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1873 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1874 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1875 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1876 guts. (nothingmuch).
1878 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1879 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1880 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1882 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1883 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1884 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1885 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1887 * Moose::Meta::Class
1888 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1891 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1892 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1894 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1895 * Moose::Unsweetened
1896 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1899 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1900 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1901 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1902 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1903 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1904 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1906 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1907 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1908 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1909 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1910 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1911 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1912 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1913 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1914 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1915 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1917 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1919 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1920 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1922 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1923 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1924 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1925 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1927 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1928 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1929 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1930 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1931 same methods for a single role did not work
1932 right (worked just fine with multiple
1934 - added test for this (stevan)
1936 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1937 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1938 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1941 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1942 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1943 - added test for this (t0m)
1946 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1947 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1948 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1950 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1951 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1952 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1953 - added test for this (t0m)
1955 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1956 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1957 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1958 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1959 - added test for this (perigrin)
1962 - create method for constructing a role
1963 dynamically (Sartak)
1964 - added test for this (Sartak)
1965 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1966 - added test for this (Sartak)
1969 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1971 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1972 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1973 methods is useful (Sartak)
1975 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1976 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1977 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1980 * Moose::Meta::Class
1981 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1982 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1983 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1984 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1985 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1986 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1989 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1990 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1992 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1993 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1994 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1995 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1996 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1998 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2000 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2001 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2002 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2005 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2006 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2007 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2008 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2009 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2010 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2013 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2014 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2015 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2016 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2017 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2018 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2019 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2020 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2021 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2022 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2023 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2025 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2026 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2029 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2030 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2031 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2032 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2033 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2035 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2037 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2038 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2039 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2041 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2042 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2044 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2045 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2046 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2047 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2050 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2051 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2053 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2055 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2056 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2058 * Moose::Meta::Class
2059 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2060 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2061 a required attribute
2063 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2064 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2065 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2066 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2068 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2069 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2071 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2072 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2073 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2074 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2075 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2076 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2077 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2078 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2080 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2081 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2082 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2084 * Roles and role application
2085 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2086 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2087 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2088 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2089 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2091 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2092 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2095 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2096 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2097 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2098 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2099 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2102 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2103 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2104 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2105 changes in the Moose internals.
2107 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2108 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2109 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2112 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2113 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2114 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2115 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2117 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2118 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2119 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2120 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2122 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2123 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2124 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2125 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2126 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2127 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2128 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2129 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2130 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2131 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2132 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2133 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2134 constraint implementations.
2136 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2140 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2141 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2142 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2143 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2144 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2145 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2146 - added tests for this (rafl)
2148 * Moose::Meta::Class
2149 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2150 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2151 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2152 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2153 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2154 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2155 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2156 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2159 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2160 - added tests for this (thepler)
2162 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2163 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2164 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2165 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2168 * Moose::Meta::Class
2169 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2170 * Moose::Meta::Method
2173 * Moose::Error::Default
2174 * Moose::Error::Croak
2175 * Moose::Error::Confess
2176 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2177 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2178 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2179 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2180 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2181 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2183 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2185 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2186 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2188 * Moose::Unsweetened
2189 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2190 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2191 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2193 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2194 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2195 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2196 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2197 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2200 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2201 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2203 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2204 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2205 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2206 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2209 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2211 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2212 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.

2224 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2225 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2226 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2227 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2228 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2229 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2245 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2246 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2249 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2252 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2253 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2254 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2255 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2256 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2257 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2259 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2260 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2262 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2264 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2265 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2269 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2270 method when that method was provided by another role being
2271 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2272 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2274 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2282 - added test for this (t0m)
2284 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2285 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2286 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2288 - added test for this (t0m)
2291 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2292 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2293 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2296 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2297 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2299 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2301 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2302 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2304 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2305 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2306 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2308 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2309 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2312 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2313 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

2315 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2319 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2320 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2321 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2325 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2326 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2327 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2330 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2334 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2336 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2338 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2340 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2341 created so that the process can be more easily

2376 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2377 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2379 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2380 ... this is not my day today ...
2382 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2383 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2384 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2385 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2386 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2389 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2390 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2391 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2392 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2393 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2396 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2398 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2399 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2400 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2401 this is not ever something you want to do
2402 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2403 - added tests for this (stevan)
2406 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2408 - added test for this

2417 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2419 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2420 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2421 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2424 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2426 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2428 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2431 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2432 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2433 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2434 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2435 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2436 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2437 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2438 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2439 - added tests for this
2441 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2442 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2443 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2444 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2446 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2511 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2512 (early morning release engineering)--
2514 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2515 which was causing the indexer to choke
2517 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2518 (late night release engineering)--
2520 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2521 changes in this release
2523 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

2529 since it is called so often by &meta
2531 * Moose::Meta::Class
2533 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2534 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2537 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2538 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2539 method for immutablization to check if the
2540 destructor object even needs to be created
2543 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2544 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2545 - added more descriptive error message to help
2546 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2547 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2549 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2551 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2552 XS based functionality is now optional
2553 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2554 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2555 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2557 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2558 to take care of this, mostly we added
2559 support for the package_name and name
2560 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2561 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2562 support regexp matching of names
2563 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2564 - tests added for this
2565 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2566 is currently not supported in roles,
2567 but, ... patches welcome
2568 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2569 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2570 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2573 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2574 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2575 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2576 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2577 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2578 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2579 - added test for this
2581 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2582 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2583 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2586 * Moose::Meta::Class
2587 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2591 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2593 - added tests for this
2594 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2595 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2597 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2598 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2599 themselves parameterizable types
2601 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2602 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2603 called by the inlined immutable
2605 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2607 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2608 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2609 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2610 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2612 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2613 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2625 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2628 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2629 ->body when looping through the
2630 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2632 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2633 eating the $@ values, and so not
2634 working correctly, it still kind of
2635 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2636 - added tests for this
2638 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2639 - added new recipe for immutable
2640 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2642 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2658 drink more coffee before
2659 doing release engineering
2661 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2662 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2663 modules. This fixes that.

2695 - added test for this
2697 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2776 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2778 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2779 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2780 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2781 officially support it.

2822 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2823 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3069 - added tests for this
3072 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3073 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3116 when they encounter overriden or modified
3117 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3118 - added tests for this
3120 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3126 - added more tests for this
3128 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3131 * Parameterized Types
3132 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3133 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3134 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3135 They can also be nested:
3136 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3137 And work with the type unions as well:
3138 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3140 * Better Framework Extendability
3141 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3142 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3143 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3144 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3147 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3148 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3149 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3150 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3385 so that you can actually document your
3386 attributes and inspect them through the

3390 * Moose::Meta::Class
3391 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3392 it will first look in for the class in the
3393 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3394 then default to just loading $name.
3395 - added tests and docs for this
3397 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3398 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3399 - added test for this
3402 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

3404 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3405 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3407 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3408 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3411 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3413 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3414 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3415 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3418 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3419 !! for this developer release to work !!
3421 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3422 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3423 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3424 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3425 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3426 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3427 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3428 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3429 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3430 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3431 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3433 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3434 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3435 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3436 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3439 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3441 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3442 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3443 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3445 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3447 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3448 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3451 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3452 called unless they actually need to be.
3453 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3454 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3455 DEMOLISH method present.
3457 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3458 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3459 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3460 type constraint, which allows for a
3461 hand optimized version of the type
3462 constraint to be used when possible.
3463 - Any internally created type constraints
3464 now provide an optimized version as well.
3466 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3468 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3469 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3470 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3472 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3473 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3474 your class namespace of these exported
3477 * Moose::Meta::Class
3478 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3479 comes up during global destruction
3481 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3485 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3488 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3489 - changed how we do type checks so that
3490 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3493 - moved accessor generation methods to
3494 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3495 conform to the API changes from
3498 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3499 - changed how constraints are compiled
3500 so that we do less recursion and more
3501 iteration. This makes the type check
3503 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3506 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3507 - created this from methods formerly found in
3508 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3510 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3511 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3513 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3514 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3516 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3517 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3519 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3521 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3522 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3523 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3524 - added tests for this
3525 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3526 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3527 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3528 - removed tests for this
3530 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3532 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3533 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3534 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3537 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3538 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3539 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3541 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3542 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3543 comments for more info.
3546 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3547 asked questions and common problems
3549 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3550 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3551 - added tests for this
3553 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3554 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3555 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3556 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3558 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3559 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3562 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3563 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3564 is much appreciated :)
3565 - added tests for this
3567 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3568 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3569 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3572 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3573 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3575 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3577 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3578 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3582 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3583 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3584 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3586 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3588 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3591 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3592 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3593 keywords because we need to localize them.
3594 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3596 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3597 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3598 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3601 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3604 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3605 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3606 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3609 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3610 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3611 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3613 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3615 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3616 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3617 bottom of your class file.
3620 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3623 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3625 - improved error message when loading modules so
3626 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3627 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3628 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3631 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3632 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3633 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3635 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3636 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3638 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3639 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3640 turn them on for you.
3641 - added tests for this
3642 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3643 in Moose::Meta::Class
3646 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3647 automatically turned on for you.

3669 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3670 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3671 - This release works in combination with
3672 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3673 release because it uses the a new
3674 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3675 complete Role implementation. It has
3676 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3677 the the previous CPAN version. This
3678 release also lacks good updated docs,
3679 the official release will have updated docs.
3682 - refactored the keyword exports
3683 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3684 accepts more than one Role at a time
3685 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3686 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3689 - refactored the keyword exports
3690 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3691 accepts more than one Role at a time
3693 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3694 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3695 string enumerations which can be used as
3697 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3700 - more careful checking of params to new()
3703 - much work done on the role composition
3704 - many new tests for conflict detection
3705 and composition edge cases
3706 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3707 looking at the tests
3709 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3710 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3711 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3713 * Moose::Meta::Class
3714 - some small changes to support the new
3716 - some small additions to support Roles
3718 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3719 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3721 - some small changes to support the new
3723 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3724 with the 'handles' option
3725 - added several tests for this
3726 - no docs for this yet
3728 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3730 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3731 thanks to chansen for this commit
3732 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3733 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3734 on a per-attribute basis
3735 - added tests for this
3736 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3737 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3738 experimental feature and probably not finished

3740 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3741 - added tests for this

3803 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3805 - added test for this
3808 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3809 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
