1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
9 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
11 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
15 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
17 2.0101 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
21 * Various packaging issues.
23 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
27 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
28 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
33 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
34 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
35 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
39 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
40 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
41 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
43 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
47 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
48 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
52 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
54 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
58 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
60 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
64 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
65 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
67 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
71 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
73 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
77 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
79 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
80 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
82 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
86 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
87 skips every other role. (rjbs)
89 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
90 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
91 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
92 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
93 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
95 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
99 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
100 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
101 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
104 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
109 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
111 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
112 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
114 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
118 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
119 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
120 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
124 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
125 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
127 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
128 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
130 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
131 environments. (doy, mateu)
133 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
137 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
138 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
139 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
140 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
144 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
145 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
147 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
151 * Update conflicts list.
154 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
158 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
159 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
160 details. (Dave Rolsky)
162 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
163 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
164 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
165 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
166 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
170 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
171 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
172 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
173 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
174 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
177 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
181 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
182 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
184 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
187 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
191 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
192 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
193 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
194 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
196 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
197 immutable classes). (mo)
199 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
200 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
201 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
203 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
207 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
209 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
211 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
215 * Fix some indexing issues.
217 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
219 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
223 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
224 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
225 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
226 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
227 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
229 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
230 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
235 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
236 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
237 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
238 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
240 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
241 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
242 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
246 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
247 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
250 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
254 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
255 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
259 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
263 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
264 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
265 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
266 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
269 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
273 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
276 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
280 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
281 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
282 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
285 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
289 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
290 policy. (Chris Prather)
292 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
293 on this new support policy. (doy)
297 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
298 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
299 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
301 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
302 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
304 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
308 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
309 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
310 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
311 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
314 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
318 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
319 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
322 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
326 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
327 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
329 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
330 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
334 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
335 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
336 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
337 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
338 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
339 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
341 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
342 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
344 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
345 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
346 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
347 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
349 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
350 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
352 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
357 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
358 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
360 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
364 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
365 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
366 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
368 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
372 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
373 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
374 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
376 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
377 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
380 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
381 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
384 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
385 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
386 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
388 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
389 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
394 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
395 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
396 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
397 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
399 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
400 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
402 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
403 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
405 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
406 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
407 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
408 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
410 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
411 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
412 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
415 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
416 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
417 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
418 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
420 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
421 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
424 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
425 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
426 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
428 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
432 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
433 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
434 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
436 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
437 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
438 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
441 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
442 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
443 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
445 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
446 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
447 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
449 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
450 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
454 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
455 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
456 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
458 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
459 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
460 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
461 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
463 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
467 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
468 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
469 value is a reference.
471 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
472 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
474 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
478 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
479 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
480 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
482 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
486 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
487 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
491 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
492 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
493 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
495 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
496 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
497 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
499 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
503 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
505 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
509 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
511 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
512 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
517 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
518 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
520 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
521 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
522 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
523 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
524 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
526 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
527 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
528 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
529 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
531 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
535 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
536 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
541 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
543 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
545 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
550 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
552 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
556 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
557 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
558 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
560 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
561 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
562 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
563 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
565 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
566 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
567 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
568 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
569 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
572 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
577 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
578 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
579 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
580 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
581 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
584 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
588 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
591 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
592 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
596 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
597 function (not just method). (doy)
601 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
602 and aren't easily installable/testable.
604 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
608 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
609 to be overridden more easily (doy).
611 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
615 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
616 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
618 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
622 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
623 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
624 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
626 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
630 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
631 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
632 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
634 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
635 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
639 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
640 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
642 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
643 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
647 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
648 is applied to a class (t0m).
650 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
651 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
653 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
656 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
657 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
659 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
660 be much more robust. (doy)
662 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
664 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
667 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
671 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
672 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
674 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
678 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
679 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
681 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
684 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
685 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
686 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
688 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
689 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
690 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
693 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
695 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
699 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
700 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
704 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
706 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
710 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
711 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
715 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
716 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
720 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
722 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
726 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
727 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
731 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
732 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
736 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
737 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
739 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
743 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
744 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
745 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
748 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
752 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
753 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
754 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
755 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
757 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
761 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
762 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
763 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
767 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
770 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
774 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
775 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
776 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
780 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
781 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
783 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
784 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
785 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
786 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
788 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
792 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
796 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
797 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included

806 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
810 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
811 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
812 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
815 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
819 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
820 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
823 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
827 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
828 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
831 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
835 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
837 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
838 class. (Dave Rolsky).
840 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
841 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
842 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
844 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
845 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
846 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
849 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
850 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
852 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
853 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
854 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
856 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
858 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
859 substr et al, again. (sorear)
861 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
863 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
866 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
867 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
869 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
870 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
872 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
873 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
874 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
875 dependencies installed.
877 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
878 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
881 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
883 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
887 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
889 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
890 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
891 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
893 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
894 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
895 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
897 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
898 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
901 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
902 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
903 others. (nothingmuch)
905 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
906 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
907 remove_accessors. (doy)
909 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
910 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
911 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
913 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
914 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
916 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
917 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
918 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
919 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
922 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
923 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
925 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
926 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
928 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
930 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
931 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
934 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
935 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
936 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
937 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
938 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
940 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
941 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
942 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
943 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
944 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
945 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
946 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
949 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
950 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
951 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
952 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
953 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
955 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
956 which were not receiving the value of
957 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
958 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
959 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
960 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
964 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
965 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
966 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
967 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
968 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
971 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
972 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
973 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
974 - added tests for this (Stevan)
977 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
978 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
979 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
982 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
984 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
987 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
988 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
991 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
992 class if you pass it options for
993 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
994 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
995 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
996 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
997 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
998 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
999 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1000 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1001 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1003 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1004 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1005 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1006 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1007 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1010 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1012 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1013 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1015 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1016 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1017 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1018 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1019 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1020 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1023 * Moose::Error::Croak
1024 * Moose::Error::Confess
1025 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1026 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1029 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1032 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1033 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1034 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1036 * Moose::Meta::Class
1037 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1040 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1041 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1042 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1044 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1045 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1046 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1047 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1048 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1050 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1051 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1054 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1056 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1057 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1060 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1061 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1063 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1064 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1065 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1066 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1068 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1069 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1070 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1071 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1072 using it for new code!
1074 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1075 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1076 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1077 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1079 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1080 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1081 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1082 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1083 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1084 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1085 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1086 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1089 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1092 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1093 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1096 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1097 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1099 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1100 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1101 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1103 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1104 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1105 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1106 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1108 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1109 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1110 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1112 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1113 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1114 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1117 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1119 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1120 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1121 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1122 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1124 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1126 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1130 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1131 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1133 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1134 associated_methods. (hdp)
1135 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1136 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1137 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1138 misspelled) arguments
1140 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1141 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1142 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1143 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1145 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1146 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1147 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1149 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1152 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1153 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1154 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1157 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1158 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1160 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1161 * Moose::Meta::Class
1162 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1163 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1165 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1166 * Moose::Manual::Types
1167 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1168 string parsing rathole (mst)
1170 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1171 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1172 using plain objects instead
1174 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1175 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1176 that's what we need.
1178 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1179 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1180 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1181 three times today (perigrin)
1182 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1183 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1185 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1186 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1187 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1188 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1191 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1192 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1193 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1194 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1195 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1196 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1199 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1200 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1201 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1202 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1205 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1207 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1210 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1212 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1215 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1216 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1217 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1221 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1222 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1225 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1226 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1228 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1229 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1230 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1232 * Moose::Unsweetened
1233 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1235 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1236 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1239 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1243 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1244 methods during global destruction (doy)
1246 * Moose::Meta::Class
1247 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1248 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1249 consumption (Sartak)
1251 * Moose::Meta::Class
1252 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1253 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1256 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1257 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1260 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1261 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1263 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1265 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1269 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1270 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1271 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1274 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1275 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1276 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1279 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1281 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1282 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1283 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1286 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1287 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1288 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1289 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1291 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1292 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1293 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1296 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1299 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1300 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1301 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1305 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1306 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1308 * Moose::Meta::Class
1309 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1311 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1313 * Moose::Meta::Class
1314 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1315 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1318 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1319 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1322 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1323 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1326 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1329 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1331 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1332 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1335 * Moose::Meta::Class
1336 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1338 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1339 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1342 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1343 * More deprecations and renamings
1344 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1345 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1346 when an object is constructed)
1349 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1350 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1351 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1353 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1354 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1355 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1356 feature, and it works again.
1359 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1361 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1363 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1364 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1365 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1368 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1369 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1370 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1371 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1373 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1374 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1375 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1376 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1377 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1380 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1381 metaclass object. (hdp)
1383 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1384 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1385 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1386 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1387 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1388 point out this fact. (hdp)
1390 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1391 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1393 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1394 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1396 * Moose::Meta::Class
1397 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1398 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1399 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1400 called during instance construction were passed the
1401 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1402 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1404 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1405 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1408 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1409 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1410 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1413 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1414 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1415 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1416 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1417 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1419 - Moose::Meta::Class
1420 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1422 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1423 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1424 when an object is constructed)
1425 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1427 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1428 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1429 when an object is constructed)
1430 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1431 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1432 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1435 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1437 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1438 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1440 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1442 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1443 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1444 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1446 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1447 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1448 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1450 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1452 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1453 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1455 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1456 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1459 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1460 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1463 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1464 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1465 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1467 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1468 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1472 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1473 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1474 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1476 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1477 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1480 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1481 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1482 with recommended workarounds.
1484 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1485 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1487 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1488 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1489 (yes, spelled like that).
1491 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1492 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1494 * Moose::Meta::Class
1495 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1496 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1498 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1500 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1501 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1502 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1503 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1504 instead. Reported by doy.
1506 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1508 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1509 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1511 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1512 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1513 message) is now deprecated.
1514 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1515 often got it wrong. For example:
1517 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1519 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1523 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1524 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1525 bite you in weird cases.
1527 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1528 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1529 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1530 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1532 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1533 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1537 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1540 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1541 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1544 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1545 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1547 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1548 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1551 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1552 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1553 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1554 - added tests for this (stevan)
1556 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1557 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1558 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1559 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1563 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1564 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1565 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1566 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1568 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1569 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1570 - added tests for this (rafl)
1572 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1573 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1574 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1575 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1579 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1580 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1583 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1584 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1585 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1587 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1589 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1590 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1592 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1593 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1594 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1595 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1596 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1598 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1599 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1600 error message did not specify the attribute name
1603 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1605 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1607 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1608 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1609 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1611 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1612 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1615 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1617 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1618 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1619 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1620 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1622 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1624 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1625 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1626 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1627 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1629 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1630 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1631 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1633 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1634 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1635 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1636 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1637 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1639 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1640 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1641 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1642 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1643 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1645 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1646 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1647 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1648 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1649 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1650 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1652 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1653 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1654 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1655 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1656 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1657 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1659 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1660 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1662 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1663 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1664 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1665 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1667 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1668 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1671 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1675 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1676 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1678 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1679 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1680 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1681 guts. (nothingmuch).
1683 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1684 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1685 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1687 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1688 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1689 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1690 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1692 * Moose::Meta::Class
1693 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1696 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1697 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1699 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1700 * Moose::Unsweetened
1701 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1704 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1705 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1706 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1707 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1708 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1709 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1711 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1712 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1713 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1714 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1715 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1716 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1717 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1718 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1719 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1720 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1722 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1724 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1725 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1727 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1728 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1729 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1730 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1732 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1733 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1734 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1735 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1736 same methods for a single role did not work
1737 right (worked just fine with multiple
1739 - added test for this (stevan)
1741 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1742 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1743 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1746 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1747 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1748 - added test for this (t0m)
1751 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1752 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1753 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1755 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1756 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1757 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1758 - added test for this (t0m)
1760 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1761 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1762 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1763 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1764 - added test for this (perigrin)
1767 - create method for constructing a role
1768 dynamically (Sartak)
1769 - added test for this (Sartak)
1770 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1771 - added test for this (Sartak)
1774 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1776 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1777 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1778 methods is useful (Sartak)
1780 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1781 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1782 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1785 * Moose::Meta::Class
1786 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1787 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1788 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1789 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1790 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1791 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1794 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1795 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1797 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1798 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1799 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1800 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1801 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1803 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1805 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1806 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1807 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1810 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1811 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1812 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1813 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1814 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1815 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1818 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1819 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1820 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1821 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1822 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1823 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1824 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1825 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1826 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1827 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1828 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1830 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1831 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1834 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1835 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1836 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1837 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1838 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1840 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1842 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1843 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1844 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1846 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1847 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1850 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1851 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1852 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1855 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1856 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1858 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1860 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1861 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1863 * Moose::Meta::Class
1864 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1865 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1866 a required attribute
1868 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1869 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1870 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1871 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1873 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1874 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1876 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1877 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1878 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1879 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1880 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1881 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1882 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1883 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1885 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1886 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1887 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1889 * Roles and role application
1890 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1891 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1892 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1893 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1894 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1896 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1897 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1900 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1901 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1902 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1903 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1904 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1907 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1908 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1909 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1910 changes in the Moose internals.
1912 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1913 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1914 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1917 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1918 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1919 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1920 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1922 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1923 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1924 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1925 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1927 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1928 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1929 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1930 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1931 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1932 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1933 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1934 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1935 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1936 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1937 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1938 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1939 constraint implementations.
1941 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1945 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1946 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1947 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1948 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1949 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1950 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1951 - added tests for this (rafl)
1953 * Moose::Meta::Class
1954 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1955 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1956 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1957 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1958 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1959 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1960 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1961 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1964 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1965 - added tests for this (thepler)
1967 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1968 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1969 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1970 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1973 * Moose::Meta::Class
1974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1975 * Moose::Meta::Method
1978 * Moose::Error::Default
1979 * Moose::Error::Croak
1980 * Moose::Error::Confess
1981 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1982 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1983 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1984 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1985 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1986 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1988 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1990 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1991 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1993 * Moose::Unsweetened
1994 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1995 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1996 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1999 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2000 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2001 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2002 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2005 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2006 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2008 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2009 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2010 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2011 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2014 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2016 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2017 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2019 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2022 - Various bug fixes.
2024 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2025 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2027 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2029 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2030 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2031 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2032 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2033 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2034 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2036 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2037 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2038 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2040 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2041 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2042 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2045 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2046 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2047 dependency to 0.64_07.
2049 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2050 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2051 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2053 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2054 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2057 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2058 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2059 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2060 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2061 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2062 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2064 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry

2185 ... this is not my day today ...
2187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2188 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2189 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2190 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2191 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2194 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2195 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2196 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2197 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2198 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2201 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2203 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2204 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2236 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2237 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2238 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2239 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2240 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2241 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2242 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2243 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2244 - added tests for this
2246 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2247 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2762 - fixed bug when passing a list of values to
2763 an accessor would get (incorrectly) ignored.
2764 Thanks to Sartak for finding this ;)
2765 - added tests for this (Sartak again)
2767 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2768 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2769 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2770 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2771 Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2774 - type constraint handling
2775 - error handling/messages
2776 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2778 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2779 - added this module to support the refactor
2780 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2782 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2783 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2784 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2788 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2790 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2791 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2792 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2794 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2795 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)

2813 types without having to explictly define them
2814 - added tests for this
2816 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2817 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2818 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2820 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2821 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2822 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2823 they should inherit the parent's coercion

2826 a single type at different times instead of
2827 having to do it all in one place
2828 - added tests for this
2830 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2831 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2832 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2835 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2836 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2837 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2838 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2842 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2843 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2844 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2846 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2847 - added tests for this.
2848 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2849 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2850 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2851 - added tests for this
2852 - added docs for this
2854 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2855 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2856 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2857 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2858 instead it will just return undef.
2859 - added docs for this
2861 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2873 with work correctly.
2874 - added tests for this
2877 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2878 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2881 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2882 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2883 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2885 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2886 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2917 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2920 - fixed how required methods are handled
2921 when they encounter overriden or modified
2922 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2923 - added tests for this
2925 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2926 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2927 the | always creates a union and so is
2928 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2929 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2931 - added more tests for this
2933 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2936 * Parameterized Types
2937 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2938 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2939 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2940 They can also be nested:
2941 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2942 And work with the type unions as well:
2943 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2945 * Better Framework Extendability
2946 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2947 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2948 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2949 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2952 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2953 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2954 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2955 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2958 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2960 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2961 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2964 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2992 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2994 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2995 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2996 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2997 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2999 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
3000 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
3001 - updated the accompanying test as well
3003 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
3004 +++ with new features added as well +++
3006 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3007 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
3008 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of

3010 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
3012 - added tests for this
3014 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

3020 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3021 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3023 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3024 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3025 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
3026 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3040 (thanks to shlomif).
3042 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3043 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3044 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3045 - added tests for this

3048 - added tests for this
3050 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3051 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3052 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3093 (but not changing the handles option)
3094 - added tests and docs for this
3097 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3098 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3099 - adjusted tests for this
3101 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3103 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3109 the other side (perigrin)
3111 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3112 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3113 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3114 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3115 prototypes for functions
3116 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3117 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3127 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3130 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3131 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3132 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3133 - added tests for this
3135 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3137 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3138 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

3153 * Moose::Meta::Class
3154 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3155 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3156 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3158 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3159 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3161 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3162 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3163 so this release is just to fix that.
3166 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3167 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3168 (thanks to konobi for this)
3169 - added tests and docs
3171 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3172 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3174 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3175 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3176 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3177 - added tests for this
3178 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3179 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3180 functions to facilitate introspection.
3182 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3183 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3184 to build the list of delegated methods
3185 correctly (and not override important
3186 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3188 - added tests and docs for this
3189 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3190 so that you can actually document your
3191 attributes and inspect them through the
3193 - added tests and docs for this
3195 * Moose::Meta::Class
3196 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3197 it will first look in for the class in the
3198 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3199 then default to just loading $name.
3200 - added tests and docs for this
3202 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3203 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3204 - added test for this
3207 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3208 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3209 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3210 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3212 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3213 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3216 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3218 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3219 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3220 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3223 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3224 !! for this developer release to work !!
3226 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3227 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3228 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3229 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3230 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3231 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3232 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3233 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3234 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3235 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3236 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3238 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3239 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3240 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3241 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3244 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3245 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3246 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3247 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3248 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3250 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3252 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3253 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3256 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3257 called unless they actually need to be.
3258 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3259 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3260 DEMOLISH method present.
3262 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3263 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3264 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3265 type constraint, which allows for a
3266 hand optimized version of the type
3267 constraint to be used when possible.
3268 - Any internally created type constraints
3269 now provide an optimized version as well.
3271 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3273 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3274 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3275 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3277 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3278 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3279 your class namespace of these exported
3282 * Moose::Meta::Class
3283 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3284 comes up during global destruction
3286 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3290 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3293 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3294 - changed how we do type checks so that
3295 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3298 - moved accessor generation methods to
3299 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3300 conform to the API changes from
3303 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3304 - changed how constraints are compiled
3305 so that we do less recursion and more
3306 iteration. This makes the type check
3308 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3311 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3312 - created this from methods formerly found in
3313 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3315 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3316 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3318 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3319 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3321 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3322 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3324 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3327 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3328 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3329 - added tests for this
3330 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3331 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3332 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3333 - removed tests for this
3335 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3337 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3338 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3339 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3342 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3343 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3344 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3346 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3347 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3348 comments for more info.
3351 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3352 asked questions and common problems
3354 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3355 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3356 - added tests for this
3358 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3359 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3360 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3361 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3363 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3364 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3367 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3368 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3369 is much appreciated :)
3370 - added tests for this
3372 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3373 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3374 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3377 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3378 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3380 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3382 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3383 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3387 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3388 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3389 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3391 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3393 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3396 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3397 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3398 keywords because we need to localize them.
3399 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3401 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3402 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3403 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3406 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3409 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3410 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3411 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3414 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3415 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3416 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3418 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3420 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3421 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3422 bottom of your class file.
3425 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3428 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3430 - improved error message when loading modules so
3431 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3432 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3433 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3436 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3437 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3438 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3440 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3441 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3443 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3444 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3445 turn them on for you.
3446 - added tests for this
3447 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3448 in Moose::Meta::Class

3475 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3476 - This release works in combination with
3477 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3478 release because it uses the a new
3479 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3480 complete Role implementation. It has
3481 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3482 the the previous CPAN version. This
3483 release also lacks good updated docs,
3484 the official release will have updated docs.
3487 - refactored the keyword exports
3488 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3489 accepts more than one Role at a time
3490 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3491 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3494 - refactored the keyword exports
3495 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3496 accepts more than one Role at a time
3498 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3499 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3500 string enumerations which can be used as
3502 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3505 - more careful checking of params to new()
3508 - much work done on the role composition
3509 - many new tests for conflict detection
3510 and composition edge cases
3511 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3512 looking at the tests
3514 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3515 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3516 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3518 * Moose::Meta::Class
3519 - some small changes to support the new
3521 - some small additions to support Roles
3523 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3524 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3526 - some small changes to support the new
3528 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3529 with the 'handles' option
3530 - added several tests for this
3531 - no docs for this yet
3533 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3535 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3536 thanks to chansen for this commit
3537 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3538 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3539 on a per-attribute basis
3540 - added tests for this
3541 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3542 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3543 experimental feature and probably not finished
3544 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3545 more details, or ask about it on #moose
