1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
6 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
8 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
9 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
10 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
11 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
12 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
14 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
15 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
18 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
22 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
23 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
25 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
26 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
27 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if
28 the attribute had one.
31 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
32 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
33 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
34 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
35 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
36 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
37 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
40 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
43 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
44 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
47 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
48 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
50 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
51 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
52 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
55 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
56 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
57 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
60 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
61 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
63 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
64 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
65 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
68 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
69 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
70 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
71 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
72 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
73 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
75 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
77 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
80 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
81 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
82 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
84 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
85 associated_methods. (hdp)
86 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
87 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
88 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
91 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
92 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
93 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
94 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
96 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
97 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
98 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
100 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
103 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
104 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
105 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
108 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
109 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
111 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
113 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
114 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
116 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
117 * Moose::Manual::Types
118 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
119 string parsing rathole (mst)
121 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
122 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
123 using plain objects instead
125 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
126 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
129 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
131 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
132 three times today (perigrin)
133 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
134 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
136 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
137 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
138 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
139 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
142 - A role's required methods are now represented by
143 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
144 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
145 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
146 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
147 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
150 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
151 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
152 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
153 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
156 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
158 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
161 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
163 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
166 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
167 during global destruction. This method has been made more
168 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
172 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
173 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
176 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
177 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
179 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
180 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
181 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
184 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
186 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
187 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
190 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
194 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
195 methods during global destruction (doy)
198 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
199 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
203 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
204 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
207 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
208 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
211 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
212 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
214 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
216 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
220 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
221 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
222 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
225 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
226 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
227 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
230 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
232 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
233 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
234 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
237 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
238 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
239 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
240 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
242 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
243 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
244 of the Moose core (Sartak)
247 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
250 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
251 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
252 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
256 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
257 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
260 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
262 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
265 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
266 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
269 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
270 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
273 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
274 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
277 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
280 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
282 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
283 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
287 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
289 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
290 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
293 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
294 * More deprecations and renamings
295 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
296 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
297 when an object is constructed)
300 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
301 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
302 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
304 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
305 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
306 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
307 feature, and it works again.
310 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
312 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
314 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
315 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
316 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
318 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
319 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
320 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
321 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
322 message. Test provided by perigrin.
324 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
325 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
326 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
327 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
328 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
331 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
332 metaclass object. (hdp)
334 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
335 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
336 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
337 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
338 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
339 point out this fact. (hdp)
341 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
342 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
344 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
345 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
348 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
349 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
350 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
351 called during instance construction were passed the
352 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
353 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
355 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
356 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
359 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
360 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
361 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
364 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
365 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
366 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
367 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
368 them, but they are not for "public" use.
371 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
373 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
374 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
375 when an object is constructed)
376 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
378 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
379 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
380 when an object is constructed)
381 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
382 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
383 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
386 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
388 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
389 * No changes from 0.72_01.
391 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
393 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
394 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
395 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
397 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
398 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
399 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
401 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
403 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
404 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
406 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
407 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
410 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
411 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
414 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
415 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
416 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
418 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
419 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
423 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
424 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
425 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
427 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
428 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
431 * Moose::Manual::Delta
432 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
433 with recommended workarounds.
435 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
436 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
438 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
439 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
440 (yes, spelled like that).
442 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
443 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
446 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
447 changes in latest Class::MOP.
449 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
451 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
452 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
453 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
454 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
455 instead. Reported by doy.
457 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
459 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
460 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
462 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
463 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
464 message) is now deprecated.
465 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
466 often got it wrong. For example:
468 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
470 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
474 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
475 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
476 bite you in weird cases.
478 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
479 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
480 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
483 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
484 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
488 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
491 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
492 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
495 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
496 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
498 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
499 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
502 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
503 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
504 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
505 - added tests for this (stevan)
507 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
508 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
509 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
510 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
514 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
515 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
516 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
517 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
519 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
520 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
521 - added tests for this (rafl)
523 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
524 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
525 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
526 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
530 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
531 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
534 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
535 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
536 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
538 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
540 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
541 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
544 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
545 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
546 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
547 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
549 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
550 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
551 error message did not specify the attribute name
554 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
556 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
558 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
559 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
560 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
563 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
566 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
568 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
569 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
570 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
571 of fixes and formatting improvements.
573 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
575 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
576 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
577 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
578 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
580 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
581 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
582 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
584 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
585 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
586 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
587 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
588 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
590 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
591 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
592 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
593 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
594 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
596 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
597 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
598 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
599 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
600 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
601 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
603 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
604 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
605 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
606 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
607 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
608 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
610 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
611 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
613 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
614 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
615 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
616 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
618 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
619 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
622 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
626 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
627 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
629 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
630 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
631 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
634 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
635 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
636 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
638 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
639 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
640 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
641 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
644 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
647 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
648 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
650 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
652 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
655 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
656 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
657 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
658 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
659 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
660 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
663 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
664 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
665 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
666 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
667 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
668 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
669 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
670 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
671 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
673 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
675 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
676 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
678 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
679 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
680 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
681 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
683 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
684 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
685 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
686 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
687 same methods for a single role did not work
688 right (worked just fine with multiple
690 - added test for this (stevan)
692 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
693 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
694 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
697 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
698 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
699 - added test for this (t0m)
702 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
703 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
704 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
706 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
707 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
708 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
709 - added test for this (t0m)
711 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
712 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
713 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
714 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
715 - added test for this (perigrin)
718 - create method for constructing a role
720 - added test for this (Sartak)
721 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
722 - added test for this (Sartak)
725 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
727 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
728 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
729 methods is useful (Sartak)
731 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
732 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
733 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
737 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
738 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
739 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
740 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
741 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
742 - added tests for this (jdv79)
745 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
746 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
748 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
749 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
750 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
751 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
752 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
754 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
756 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
757 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
758 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
761 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
762 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
763 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
764 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
765 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
766 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
769 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
770 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
771 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
772 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
773 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
774 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
775 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
776 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
777 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
778 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
779 future. (jnapiorkowski)
781 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
782 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
785 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
786 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
787 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
788 type. (jnapiorkowski)
789 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
791 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
793 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
794 predicate, and link to more details sections in
795 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
798 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
800 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
801 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
802 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
803 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
806 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
807 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
809 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
811 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
812 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
815 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
816 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
819 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
820 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
821 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
822 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
824 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
825 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
827 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
828 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
829 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
830 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
831 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
832 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
833 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
834 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
836 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
837 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
838 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
840 * Roles and role application
841 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
842 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
843 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
844 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
845 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
847 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
848 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
851 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
852 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
853 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
854 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
855 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
858 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
859 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
860 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
861 changes in the Moose internals.
863 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
864 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
865 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
868 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
869 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
870 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
871 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
873 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
874 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
875 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
876 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
878 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
879 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
880 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
881 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
882 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
883 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
884 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
885 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
886 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
887 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
888 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
889 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
890 constraint implementations.
892 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
896 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
897 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
898 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
899 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
900 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
901 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
902 - added tests for this (rafl)
905 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
906 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
907 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
908 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
909 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
910 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
911 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
912 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
915 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
916 - added tests for this (thepler)
918 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
919 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
920 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
921 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
925 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
926 * Moose::Meta::Method
929 * Moose::Error::Default
930 * Moose::Error::Croak
931 * Moose::Error::Confess
932 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
933 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
934 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
935 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
936 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
937 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
939 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
941 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
942 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
945 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
946 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
947 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
949 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
950 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
951 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
952 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
953 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
956 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
957 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
959 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
960 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
961 several major changes in this release of Moose.
962 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
965 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
967 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
968 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
970 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
975 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
976 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
978 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
980 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
981 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
982 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
983 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
984 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
985 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
987 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
988 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
989 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
991 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
992 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
993 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
996 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
997 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
998 dependency to 0.64_07.
1000 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1001 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1002 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1004 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1005 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1008 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1009 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1010 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1011 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1012 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1013 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1015 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1016 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1018 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1020 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1021 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1025 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1026 method when that method was provided by another role being
1027 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1028 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1030 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1032 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1033 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1035 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1036 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1037 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1038 - added test for this (t0m)
1040 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1041 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1042 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1044 - added test for this (t0m)
1047 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1048 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1049 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1052 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1053 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1055 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1057 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1058 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1060 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1061 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1062 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1064 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1065 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1068 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1069 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1070 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1071 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1075 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1076 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1077 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1080 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1081 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1082 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1083 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1086 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1090 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1091 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1092 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1094 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1095 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1096 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1097 created so that the process can be more easily
1098 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1100 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1101 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1102 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1103 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1105 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1106 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1109 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1110 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1112 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1113 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1114 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1116 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1117 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1118 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1120 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1121 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1123 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1124 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1127 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1128 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1132 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1133 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1135 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1136 ... this is not my day today ...
1138 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1139 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1140 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1141 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1142 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1145 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1146 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1147 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1148 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1149 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1152 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1154 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1155 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1156 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1157 this is not ever something you want to do
1158 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1159 - added tests for this (stevan)
1162 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1164 - added test for this
1166 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1167 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1168 - added tests for this (wreis)
1170 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1171 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1172 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1173 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1175 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1176 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1177 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1180 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1182 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1184 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1187 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1188 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1189 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1190 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1191 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1192 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1193 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1194 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1195 - added tests for this
1197 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1198 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1199 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1200 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1202 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1205 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1206 - added tests for this (sartak)
1207 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1208 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1211 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1213 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1214 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1217 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1218 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1219 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1221 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1223 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1224 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1227 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1228 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1229 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1231 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1232 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1233 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1235 - added docs for this (TODO).
1236 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1237 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1238 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1239 - fix builder and default both being used
1244 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1246 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1247 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1248 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1252 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1256 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1257 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1258 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1261 - move the ClassName type check code to
1262 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1264 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1265 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1267 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1268 (early morning release engineering)--
1270 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1271 which was causing the indexer to choke
1273 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1274 (late night release engineering)--
1276 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1277 changes in this release
1279 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1280 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1281 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1283 * Moose::Meta::Class
1284 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1285 since it is called so often by &meta
1287 * Moose::Meta::Class
1289 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1290 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1293 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1294 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1295 method for immutablization to check if the
1296 destructor object even needs to be created
1299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1300 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1301 - added more descriptive error message to help
1302 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1303 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1305 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1307 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1308 XS based functionality is now optional
1309 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1310 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1311 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1313 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1314 to take care of this, mostly we added
1315 support for the package_name and name
1316 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1317 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1318 support regexp matching of names
1319 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1320 - tests added for this
1321 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1322 is currently not supported in roles,
1323 but, ... patches welcome
1324 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1325 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1326 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1329 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1330 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1331 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1332 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1333 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1334 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1335 - added test for this
1337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1338 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1339 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1342 * Moose::Meta::Class
1343 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1347 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1349 - added tests for this
1350 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1351 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1353 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1354 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1355 themselves parameterizable types
1357 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1358 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1359 called by the inlined immutable
1361 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1363 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1364 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1365 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1366 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1368 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1369 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1373 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1374 causing occasional cpantester failures
1375 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1376 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1378 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1380 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1381 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1384 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1385 ->body when looping through the
1386 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1388 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1389 eating the $@ values, and so not
1390 working correctly, it still kind of
1391 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1392 - added tests for this
1394 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1395 - added new recipe for immutable
1396 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1398 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1399 - added new recipe for builder and
1400 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1402 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1403 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1404 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1414 drink more coffee before
1415 doing release engineering
1417 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1532 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1534 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1578 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1579 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1873 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1874 - added tests for this

1884 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1887 * Parameterized Types
1888 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1889 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1890 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1891 They can also be nested:
1892 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1893 And work with the type unions as well:
1894 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1896 * Better Framework Extendability
1897 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1898 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1899 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1900 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1903 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1904 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1905 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1906 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2078 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2081 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2082 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2083 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2084 - added tests for this
2086 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2088 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
2089 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
2090 - altered unimport tests to handle this
2093 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
2095 * Moose::Meta::Class
2096 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
2097 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
2100 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2101 where not handled correctly in roles
2102 - added tests for this
2104 * Moose::Meta::Class
2105 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2106 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2107 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2109 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2110 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2112 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2113 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2114 so this release is just to fix that.
2117 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2118 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2119 (thanks to konobi for this)
2120 - added tests and docs
2122 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2123 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2125 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2126 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2127 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2128 - added tests for this
2129 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2130 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2131 functions to facilitate introspection.
2133 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2134 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2135 to build the list of delegated methods
2136 correctly (and not override important
2137 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2139 - added tests and docs for this
2140 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2141 so that you can actually document your
2142 attributes and inspect them through the
2144 - added tests and docs for this
2146 * Moose::Meta::Class
2147 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2148 it will first look in for the class in the
2149 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2150 then default to just loading $name.
2151 - added tests and docs for this
2153 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2154 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2155 - added test for this
2158 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2159 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2160 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2161 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2163 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2164 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2167 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2169 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2170 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2171 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2174 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2175 !! for this developer release to work !!
2177 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2178 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2179 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2180 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2181 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2182 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2183 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2184 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2185 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2186 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2187 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2189 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2190 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2191 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2192 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2195 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2196 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2197 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2198 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2199 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2201 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2203 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2204 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2207 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2208 called unless they actually need to be.
2209 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2210 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2211 DEMOLISH method present.
2213 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2214 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2215 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2216 type constraint, which allows for a
2217 hand optimized version of the type
2218 constraint to be used when possible.
2219 - Any internally created type constraints
2220 now provide an optimized version as well.
2222 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2224 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2225 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2226 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2228 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2229 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2230 your class namespace of these exported
2233 * Moose::Meta::Class
2234 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2235 comes up during global destruction
2237 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2241 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2244 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2245 - changed how we do type checks so that
2246 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2249 - moved accessor generation methods to
2250 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2251 conform to the API changes from
2254 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2255 - changed how constraints are compiled
2256 so that we do less recursion and more
2257 iteration. This makes the type check
2259 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2262 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2263 - created this from methods formerly found in
2264 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2266 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2267 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2269 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2270 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2272 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2273 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2275 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2277 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2278 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2279 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2280 - added tests for this
2281 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2282 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2283 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2284 - removed tests for this
2286 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2288 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2289 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2290 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2293 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2294 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2295 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2297 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2298 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2299 comments for more info.
2302 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2303 asked questions and common problems
2305 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2306 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2307 - added tests for this
2309 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2310 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2311 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2312 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2314 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2315 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2318 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2319 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2320 is much appreciated :)
2321 - added tests for this
2323 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2324 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2325 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2328 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2329 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2331 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2333 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2334 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2338 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2339 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2340 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2342 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2344 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2347 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2348 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2349 keywords because we need to localize them.
2350 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2352 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2353 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2354 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2357 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2360 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2361 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2362 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2365 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2366 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2367 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2369 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2371 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2372 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2373 bottom of your class file.
2376 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2379 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2381 - improved error message when loading modules so
2382 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2383 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2384 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2387 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2388 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2389 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2391 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2392 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2394 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2395 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2396 turn them on for you.
2397 - added tests for this
2398 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2399 in Moose::Meta::Class

2422 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2425 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2426 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2427 - This release works in combination with
2428 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2429 release because it uses the a new
2430 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2431 complete Role implementation. It has
2432 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2433 the the previous CPAN version. This
2434 release also lacks good updated docs,
2435 the official release will have updated docs.
2438 - refactored the keyword exports
2439 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2440 accepts more than one Role at a time

2446 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2447 accepts more than one Role at a time
2449 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2450 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2451 string enumerations which can be used as
2453 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2456 - more careful checking of params to new()
2459 - much work done on the role composition
2460 - many new tests for conflict detection
2461 and composition edge cases
2462 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2463 looking at the tests
2465 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2466 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2467 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2469 * Moose::Meta::Class
2470 - some small changes to support the new
2472 - some small additions to support Roles
2474 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2475 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2477 - some small changes to support the new
2479 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2480 with the 'handles' option
2481 - added several tests for this
2482 - no docs for this yet
2484 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2486 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2487 thanks to chansen for this commit
2488 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2489 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2490 on a per-attribute basis
2491 - added tests for this
2492 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2493 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2494 experimental feature and probably not finished

2496 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2497 - added tests for this
2500 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2512 construct_instance (for the better)
2514 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2559 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2561 - added test for this
2564 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
