1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
9 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
10 during global destruction. This method has been made more
11 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
14 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
15 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
16 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
19 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
21 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
22 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
25 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
29 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
30 methods during global destruction (doy)
33 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
34 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
38 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
39 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
42 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
43 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
46 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
47 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
51 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
55 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
56 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
57 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
60 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
61 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
62 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
65 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01. It seems that if
66 we use a dev version number there CPAN.pm will not follow the
69 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
70 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
71 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
74 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
75 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
76 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
77 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
79 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
80 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
81 of the Moose core (Sartak)
84 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
87 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
88 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
89 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
93 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
94 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
97 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
99 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
102 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
103 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
106 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
107 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
110 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
111 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
114 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
117 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
120 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
124 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
126 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
127 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
130 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
131 * More deprecations and renamings
132 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
133 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
134 when an object is constructed)
137 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
138 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
139 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
141 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
142 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
143 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
144 feature, and it works again.
147 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
149 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
151 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
152 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
153 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
156 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
157 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
158 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
159 message. Test provided by perigrin.
161 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
162 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
163 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
164 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
165 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
168 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
169 metaclass object. (hdp)
171 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
172 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
173 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
174 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
175 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
176 point out this fact. (hdp)
178 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
179 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
181 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
182 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
185 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
186 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
187 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
188 called during instance construction were passed the
189 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
190 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
192 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
193 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
196 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
197 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
198 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
201 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
202 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
203 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
204 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
205 them, but they are not for "public" use.
208 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
210 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
211 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
212 when an object is constructed)
213 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
215 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
216 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
217 when an object is constructed)
218 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
219 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
220 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
223 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
225 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
226 * No changes from 0.72_01.
228 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
230 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
231 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
232 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
234 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
235 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
236 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
238 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
240 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
241 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
243 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
244 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
247 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
248 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
251 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
252 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
253 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
256 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
260 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
261 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
262 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
264 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
265 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
268 * Moose::Manual::Delta
269 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
270 with recommended workarounds.
272 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
273 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
275 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
276 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
277 (yes, spelled like that).
279 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
280 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
283 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
284 changes in latest Class::MOP.
286 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
289 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
290 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
291 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
292 instead. Reported by doy.
294 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
296 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
297 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
299 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
300 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
301 message) is now deprecated.
302 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
303 often got it wrong. For example:
305 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
307 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
311 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
312 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
313 bite you in weird cases.
315 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
316 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
317 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
320 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
321 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
325 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
328 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
329 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
332 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
333 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
335 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
336 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
339 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
340 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
341 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
342 - added tests for this (stevan)
344 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
345 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
346 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
347 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
351 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
352 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
353 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
354 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
356 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
357 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
358 - added tests for this (rafl)
360 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
361 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
362 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
363 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
367 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
368 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
371 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
372 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
373 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
375 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
377 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
378 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
381 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
382 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
383 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
384 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
386 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
387 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
388 error message did not specify the attribute name
391 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
393 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
395 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
396 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
397 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
399 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
400 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
403 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
405 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
406 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
407 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
408 of fixes and formatting improvements.
410 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
412 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
413 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
414 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
415 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
417 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
418 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
419 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
421 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
422 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
423 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
424 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
425 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
427 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
428 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
429 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
430 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
431 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
433 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
434 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
435 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
436 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
437 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
438 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
440 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
441 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
442 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
443 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
444 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
445 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
447 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
448 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
450 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
451 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
452 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
453 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
456 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
459 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
463 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
464 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
466 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
467 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
468 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
471 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
472 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
473 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
475 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
476 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
477 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
478 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
481 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
484 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
485 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
487 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
489 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
492 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
493 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
494 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
495 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
496 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
497 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
499 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
500 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
501 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
502 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
503 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
504 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
505 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
506 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
507 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
508 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
510 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
512 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
513 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
515 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
516 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
517 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
518 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
520 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
521 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
522 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
523 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
524 same methods for a single role did not work
525 right (worked just fine with multiple
527 - added test for this (stevan)
529 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
530 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
531 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
534 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
535 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
536 - added test for this (t0m)
539 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
540 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
541 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
543 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
544 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
545 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
546 - added test for this (t0m)
548 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
549 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
550 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
551 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
552 - added test for this (perigrin)
555 - create method for constructing a role
557 - added test for this (Sartak)
558 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
559 - added test for this (Sartak)
562 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
564 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
565 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
566 methods is useful (Sartak)
568 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
570 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
574 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
575 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
576 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
577 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
578 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
579 - added tests for this (jdv79)
582 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
583 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
585 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
586 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
587 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
588 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
589 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
591 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
593 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
594 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
595 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
598 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
599 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
600 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
601 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
602 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
603 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
606 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
607 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
608 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
609 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
610 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
611 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
612 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
613 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
614 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
615 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
616 future. (jnapiorkowski)
618 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
619 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
622 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
623 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
624 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
625 type. (jnapiorkowski)
626 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
628 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
630 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
631 predicate, and link to more details sections in
632 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
634 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
635 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
637 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
638 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
639 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
640 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
643 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
644 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
646 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
648 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
649 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
652 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
653 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
656 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
657 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
658 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
659 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
661 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
662 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
664 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
665 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
666 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
667 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
668 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
669 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
670 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
671 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
673 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
674 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
675 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
677 * Roles and role application
678 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
679 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
680 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
681 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
682 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
684 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
685 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
688 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
689 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
690 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
691 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
692 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
695 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
696 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
697 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
698 changes in the Moose internals.
700 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
701 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
702 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
705 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
706 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
707 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
708 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
710 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
711 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
712 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
713 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
715 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
716 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
717 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
718 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
719 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
720 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
721 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
722 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
723 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
724 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
725 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
726 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
727 constraint implementations.
729 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
733 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
734 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
735 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
736 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
737 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
738 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
739 - added tests for this (rafl)
742 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
743 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
744 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
745 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
746 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
747 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
748 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
749 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
752 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
753 - added tests for this (thepler)
755 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
756 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
757 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
758 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
762 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
763 * Moose::Meta::Method
766 * Moose::Error::Default
767 * Moose::Error::Croak
768 * Moose::Error::Confess
769 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
770 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
771 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
772 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
773 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
774 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
776 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
778 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
779 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
782 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
783 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
784 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
786 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
787 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
788 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
789 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
790 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
793 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
794 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
796 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
797 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
798 several major changes in this release of Moose.
799 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
802 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
804 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
805 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.

825 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
826 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

833 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
834 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
835 dependency to 0.64_07.

839 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
841 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
842 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
846 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
847 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
848 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
849 coincidental exception. (t0m).
850 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
852 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
853 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
855 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
857 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
858 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
862 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
863 method when that method was provided by another role being
864 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
865 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
867 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
869 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
870 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!

874 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
875 - added test for this (t0m)
877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
878 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
879 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
881 - added test for this (t0m)
884 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
885 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
886 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
889 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
890 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
892 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
894 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
897 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
898 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
899 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
901 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
902 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
905 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
906 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
907 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
908 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
912 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
913 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
914 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
917 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
918 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
919 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
920 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
923 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
927 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

942 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
943 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
946 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
947 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
949 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
950 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
951 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
953 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1

970 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
972 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
973 ... this is not my day today ...
975 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
976 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
977 clone_and_inherit options still works for
978 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
979 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
982 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
983 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
984 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
985 in this release, except the fact that it includes
986 the changes that I didn't include in the last
989 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
991 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
992 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
993 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
994 this is not ever something you want to do
995 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
996 - added tests for this (stevan)
999 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1001 - added test for this

1021 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1024 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1025 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1026 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1027 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1028 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1029 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1030 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1031 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1032 - added tests for this
1034 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1035 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1036 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1037 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1039 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1108 which was causing the indexer to choke
1110 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1111 (late night release engineering)--
1113 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1114 changes in this release
1116 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1117 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1118 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1120 * Moose::Meta::Class
1121 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1122 since it is called so often by &meta
1124 * Moose::Meta::Class

1127 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1130 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1131 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1132 method for immutablization to check if the
1133 destructor object even needs to be created
1136 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1137 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1138 - added more descriptive error message to help
1139 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1140 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1142 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1144 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1145 XS based functionality is now optional
1146 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1147 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1148 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1150 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1151 to take care of this, mostly we added
1152 support for the package_name and name
1153 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1154 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1155 support regexp matching of names
1156 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1157 - tests added for this
1158 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1159 is currently not supported in roles,
1160 but, ... patches welcome

1163 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1166 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1167 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1168 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1169 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1170 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1171 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1172 - added test for this
1174 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1175 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1176 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the

1196 called by the inlined immutable
1198 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1200 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1201 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1202 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1203 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1205 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1206 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1210 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1211 causing occasional cpantester failures
1212 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1213 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1215 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1217 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1218 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1221 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1222 ->body when looping through the
1223 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1225 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1226 eating the $@ values, and so not
1227 working correctly, it still kind of
1228 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1229 - added tests for this
1231 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1232 - added new recipe for immutable
1233 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1247 since Module::Install has done that.
1249 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1251 drink more coffee before
1252 doing release engineering
1254 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1255 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1256 modules. This fixes that.

1369 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1371 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1410 - making test for using '+name' on attributes consumed
1411 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1413 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1414 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
1415 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1416 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1417 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1419 - added more delegation tests
1420 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1421 support traits and their introspection.
1422 - added tests for this

1662 - added tests for this
1665 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1666 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1705 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1708 - fixed how required methods are handled
1709 when they encounter overriden or modified
1710 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1711 - added tests for this
1713 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1714 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1715 the | always creates a union and so is
1716 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1717 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1719 - added more tests for this
1721 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1724 * Parameterized Types
1725 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1726 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1727 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1728 They can also be nested:
1729 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1730 And work with the type unions as well:
1731 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1733 * Better Framework Extendability
1734 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1735 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1736 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1737 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1740 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1741 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1742 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1743 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1746 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1748 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1749 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

1977 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1978 so that you can actually document your
1979 attributes and inspect them through the

1983 * Moose::Meta::Class
1984 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1985 it will first look in for the class in the
1986 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1987 then default to just loading $name.
1988 - added tests and docs for this
1990 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1991 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1992 - added test for this

1997 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1998 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2000 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2001 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2004 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2006 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2007 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2008 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2011 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2012 !! for this developer release to work !!
2014 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2015 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2016 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2017 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2018 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2019 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2020 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2021 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2022 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2023 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2024 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2026 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2027 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2028 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2029 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2032 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2033 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2034 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2035 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2036 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2038 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2040 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2041 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2044 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2045 called unless they actually need to be.
2046 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2047 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2048 DEMOLISH method present.
2050 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2051 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2052 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2053 type constraint, which allows for a
2054 hand optimized version of the type
2055 constraint to be used when possible.
2056 - Any internally created type constraints
2057 now provide an optimized version as well.
2059 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2061 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2062 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2063 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2065 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2066 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2067 your class namespace of these exported
2070 * Moose::Meta::Class
2071 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2072 comes up during global destruction
2074 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2078 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2081 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2082 - changed how we do type checks so that
2083 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2086 - moved accessor generation methods to
2087 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2088 conform to the API changes from
2091 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2092 - changed how constraints are compiled
2093 so that we do less recursion and more
2094 iteration. This makes the type check
2096 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2099 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2100 - created this from methods formerly found in
2101 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2103 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2104 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2107 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2109 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2110 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2112 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2115 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2116 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2117 - added tests for this
2118 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2119 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2120 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2121 - removed tests for this
2123 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2125 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2126 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2127 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2130 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2131 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2132 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2134 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2135 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2136 comments for more info.
2139 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2140 asked questions and common problems
2142 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2143 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2144 - added tests for this
2146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2147 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2148 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2149 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2151 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2152 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2155 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2156 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2157 is much appreciated :)
2158 - added tests for this
2160 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2161 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2162 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2165 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2166 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2168 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2170 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2171 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2175 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2176 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2177 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2179 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2181 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2184 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2185 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2186 keywords because we need to localize them.
2187 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2189 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2190 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2191 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2194 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2197 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2198 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2199 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2202 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2203 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2204 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2206 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2208 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2209 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2210 bottom of your class file.
2213 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2216 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2218 - improved error message when loading modules so
2219 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2220 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2221 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2224 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2225 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2226 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2228 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2229 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2231 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2232 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2233 turn them on for you.
2234 - added tests for this
2235 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2236 in Moose::Meta::Class
2239 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2240 automatically turned on for you.

2259 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2262 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2263 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2264 - This release works in combination with
2265 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2266 release because it uses the a new
2267 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2268 complete Role implementation. It has
2269 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2270 the the previous CPAN version. This
2271 release also lacks good updated docs,
2272 the official release will have updated docs.
2275 - refactored the keyword exports
2276 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2277 accepts more than one Role at a time
2278 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2279 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2282 - refactored the keyword exports
2283 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2284 accepts more than one Role at a time
2286 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2287 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2288 string enumerations which can be used as
2290 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2293 - more careful checking of params to new()
2296 - much work done on the role composition
2297 - many new tests for conflict detection
2298 and composition edge cases
2299 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2300 looking at the tests
2302 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2303 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2304 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2306 * Moose::Meta::Class
2307 - some small changes to support the new
2309 - some small additions to support Roles
2311 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2312 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2314 - some small changes to support the new
2316 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2317 with the 'handles' option
2318 - added several tests for this
2319 - no docs for this yet
2321 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2323 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2324 thanks to chansen for this commit
2325 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2326 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2327 on a per-attribute basis
2328 - added tests for this
2329 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2330 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2331 experimental feature and probably not finished
