1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
10 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
11 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
15 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
16 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
17 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
18 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
20 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
21 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
22 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
24 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
25 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
28 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
29 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
30 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
31 return true. Fixes RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
35 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
36 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
37 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
38 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
41 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
45 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
46 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
49 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
50 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. Fixes
51 RT 69988. (Dave Rolsky)
53 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
54 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
55 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. Fixes RT 60583. (doy)
57 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
58 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
61 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
62 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
63 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
65 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
66 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
69 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
70 the associated stash. (doy)
74 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
75 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
76 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
77 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
79 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
83 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
84 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
85 the attribute's reference.
89 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
90 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
94 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
95 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
96 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
99 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
100 the Object constraint).
102 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
106 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
107 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
112 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
114 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
118 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
121 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
123 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
127 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
129 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
133 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
136 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
137 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
138 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
140 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
143 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
147 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
149 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
153 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
155 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
159 * Include changes from 2.0010.
161 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
165 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
166 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
170 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
171 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
172 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
177 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
179 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
183 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
184 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
186 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
190 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
192 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
196 * Various packaging issues.
198 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
202 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
203 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
208 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
209 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
210 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
214 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
215 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
216 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
218 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
222 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
223 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
225 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
229 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
230 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
232 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
235 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
236 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
240 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
241 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
243 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
247 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
248 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
252 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
254 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
258 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
260 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
264 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
265 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
267 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
271 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
273 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
277 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
279 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
280 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
282 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
286 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
287 skips every other role. (rjbs)
289 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
290 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
291 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
292 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
293 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
295 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
299 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
300 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
301 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
304 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
309 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
311 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
312 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
314 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
318 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
319 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
320 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
324 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
325 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
327 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
328 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
330 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
331 environments. (doy, mateu)
333 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
337 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
338 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
339 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
340 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
344 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
345 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
347 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
351 * Update conflicts list.
354 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
358 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
359 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
360 details. (Dave Rolsky)
362 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
363 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
364 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
365 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
366 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
370 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
371 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
372 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
373 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
374 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
377 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
381 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
382 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
384 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
387 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
391 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
392 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
393 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
394 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
396 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
397 immutable classes). (mo)
399 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
400 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
401 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
403 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
407 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
409 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
411 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
415 * Fix some indexing issues.
417 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
419 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
423 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
424 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
425 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
426 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
427 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
429 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
430 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
435 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
436 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
437 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
438 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
440 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
441 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
442 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
446 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
447 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
450 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
454 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
455 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
459 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
463 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
464 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
465 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
466 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
469 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
473 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
476 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
480 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
481 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
482 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
485 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
489 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
490 policy. (Chris Prather)
492 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
493 on this new support policy. (doy)
497 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
498 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
499 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
501 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
502 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
504 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
508 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
509 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
510 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
511 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
514 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
518 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
519 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
522 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
526 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
527 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
529 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
530 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
534 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
535 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
536 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
537 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
538 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
539 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
541 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
542 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
544 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
545 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
546 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
547 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
549 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
550 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
552 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
557 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
558 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
560 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
564 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
565 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
566 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
568 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
572 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
573 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
574 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
576 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
577 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
580 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
581 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
584 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
585 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
586 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
588 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
589 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
594 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
595 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
596 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
597 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
599 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
600 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
602 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
603 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
605 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
606 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
607 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
608 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
610 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
611 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
612 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
615 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
616 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
617 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
618 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
620 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
621 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
624 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
625 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
626 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
628 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
632 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
633 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
634 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
636 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
637 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
638 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
641 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
642 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
643 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
645 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
646 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
647 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
649 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
650 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
654 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
655 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
656 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
658 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
659 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
660 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
661 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
663 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
667 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
668 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
669 value is a reference.
671 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
672 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
674 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
678 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
679 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
680 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
682 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
686 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
687 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
691 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
692 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
693 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
695 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
696 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
697 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
699 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
703 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
705 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
709 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
711 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
712 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
717 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
718 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
720 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
721 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
722 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
723 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
724 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
726 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
727 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
728 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
729 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
731 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
735 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
736 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
741 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
743 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
745 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
750 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
752 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
756 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
757 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
758 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
760 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
761 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
762 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
763 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
765 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
766 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
767 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
768 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
769 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
772 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
777 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
778 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
779 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
780 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
781 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
784 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
788 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
791 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
792 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
796 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
797 function (not just method). (doy)
801 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
802 and aren't easily installable/testable.
804 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
808 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
809 to be overridden more easily (doy).
811 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
815 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
816 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
818 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
822 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
823 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
824 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
826 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
830 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
831 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
832 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
834 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
835 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
839 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
840 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
842 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
843 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
847 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
848 is applied to a class (t0m).
850 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
851 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
853 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
856 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
857 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
859 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
860 be much more robust. (doy)
862 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
864 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
867 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
871 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
872 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
874 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
878 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
879 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
881 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
884 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
885 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
886 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
888 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
889 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
890 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
893 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
895 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
899 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
900 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
904 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
906 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
910 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
911 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
915 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
916 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
920 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
922 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
926 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
927 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
931 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
932 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
936 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
937 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
939 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
943 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
944 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
945 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
948 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
952 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
953 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
954 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
955 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
957 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
961 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
962 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
963 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
967 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
970 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
975 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
976 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
980 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
981 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
983 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
984 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
985 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
986 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
988 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
992 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
996 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
997 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
999 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1000 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1001 - Moose::Util::does_role
1002 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1003 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1004 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1006 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1010 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1011 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1012 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1015 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1019 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1020 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1023 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1027 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1028 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1031 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1035 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1037 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1038 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1040 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1041 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1042 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1044 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1045 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1046 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1049 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1050 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1052 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1053 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1054 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1056 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1058 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1059 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1061 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1063 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1066 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1067 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1069 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1070 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1072 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1073 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1074 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1075 dependencies installed.
1077 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1078 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1081 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1083 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1087 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1089 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1090 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1091 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1093 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1094 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1095 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1097 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1098 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1101 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1102 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1103 others. (nothingmuch)
1105 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1106 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1107 remove_accessors. (doy)
1109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1110 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1111 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1113 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1114 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1116 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1117 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1118 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1119 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1121 * Moose::Meta::Class
1122 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1123 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1125 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1126 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1128 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1130 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1131 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1135 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1136 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1137 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1138 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1140 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1141 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1142 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1143 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1144 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1145 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1146 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1149 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1150 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1151 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1152 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1153 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1155 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1156 which were not receiving the value of
1157 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1158 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1159 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1160 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1164 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1165 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1166 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1167 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1168 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1171 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1172 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1173 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1174 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1176 * Moose::Meta::Class
1177 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1178 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1179 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1182 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1183 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1184 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1186 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1187 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1188 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1191 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1192 class if you pass it options for
1193 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1194 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1195 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1196 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1197 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1198 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1199 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1200 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1201 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1203 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1204 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1205 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1206 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1207 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1210 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1211 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1212 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1213 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1216 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1217 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1218 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1219 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1220 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1223 * Moose::Error::Croak
1224 * Moose::Error::Confess
1225 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1226 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1229 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1232 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1233 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1234 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1236 * Moose::Meta::Class
1237 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1240 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1241 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1242 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1244 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1245 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1246 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1247 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1248 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1250 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1251 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1254 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1256 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1257 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1260 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1261 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1263 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1264 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1265 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1266 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1268 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1269 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1270 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1271 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1272 using it for new code!
1274 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1275 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1276 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1277 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1279 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1280 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1281 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1282 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1283 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1284 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1285 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1286 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1289 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1292 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1293 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1297 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1300 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1301 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1303 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1304 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1305 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1306 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1308 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1309 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1310 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1312 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1313 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1314 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1317 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1318 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1319 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1320 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1321 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1322 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1324 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1326 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1329 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1330 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1331 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1333 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1334 associated_methods. (hdp)
1335 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1336 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1337 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1338 misspelled) arguments
1340 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1341 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1342 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1343 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1345 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1346 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1347 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1349 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1352 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1353 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1354 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1357 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1358 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1360 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1361 * Moose::Meta::Class
1362 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1363 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1365 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1366 * Moose::Manual::Types
1367 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1368 string parsing rathole (mst)
1370 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1371 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1372 using plain objects instead
1374 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1375 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1376 that's what we need.
1378 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1379 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1380 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1381 three times today (perigrin)
1382 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1383 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1385 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1386 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1387 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1388 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1391 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1392 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1393 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1394 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1395 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1396 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1399 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1400 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1401 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1402 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1405 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1407 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1410 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1412 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1415 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1416 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1417 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1421 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1422 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1425 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1426 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1428 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1429 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1430 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1432 * Moose::Unsweetened
1433 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1435 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1436 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1439 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1443 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1444 methods during global destruction (doy)
1446 * Moose::Meta::Class
1447 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1448 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1449 consumption (Sartak)
1451 * Moose::Meta::Class
1452 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1453 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1456 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1457 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1460 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1461 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1463 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1465 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1469 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1470 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1471 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1474 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1475 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1476 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1479 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1481 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1482 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1483 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1486 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1487 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1488 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1489 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1491 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1492 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1493 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1496 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1499 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1500 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1501 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1505 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1506 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1508 * Moose::Meta::Class
1509 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1511 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1513 * Moose::Meta::Class
1514 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1515 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1518 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1519 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1522 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1523 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1526 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1529 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1531 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1532 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1535 * Moose::Meta::Class
1536 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1538 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1539 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1542 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1543 * More deprecations and renamings
1544 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1545 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1546 when an object is constructed)
1549 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1550 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1551 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1553 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1554 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1555 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1556 feature, and it works again.
1559 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1561 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1563 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1564 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1565 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1567 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1568 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1569 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1570 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1571 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1573 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1574 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1575 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1576 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1577 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1580 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1581 metaclass object. (hdp)
1583 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1584 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1585 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1586 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1587 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1588 point out this fact. (hdp)
1590 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1591 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1593 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1594 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1596 * Moose::Meta::Class
1597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1598 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1599 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1600 called during instance construction were passed the
1601 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1602 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1604 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1605 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1608 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1609 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1610 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1613 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1614 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1615 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1616 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1617 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1619 - Moose::Meta::Class
1620 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1622 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1623 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1624 when an object is constructed)
1625 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1627 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1628 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1629 when an object is constructed)
1630 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1631 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1632 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1635 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1637 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1638 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1640 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1642 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1643 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1644 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1646 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1647 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1648 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1650 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1652 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1653 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1655 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1656 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1659 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1660 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1663 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1664 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1665 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1667 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1668 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1672 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1673 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1674 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1676 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1677 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1680 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1681 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1682 with recommended workarounds.
1684 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1685 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1687 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1688 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1689 (yes, spelled like that).
1691 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1692 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1694 * Moose::Meta::Class
1695 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1696 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1698 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1700 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1701 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1702 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1703 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1704 instead. Reported by doy.
1706 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1708 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1709 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1711 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1712 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1713 message) is now deprecated.
1714 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1715 often got it wrong. For example:
1717 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1719 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1723 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1724 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1725 bite you in weird cases.
1727 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1728 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1729 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1730 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1732 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1733 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1737 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1740 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1741 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1744 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1745 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1747 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1748 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1751 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1752 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1753 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1754 - added tests for this (stevan)
1756 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1757 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1758 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1759 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1763 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1764 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1765 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1766 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1768 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1769 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1770 - added tests for this (rafl)
1772 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1773 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1774 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1775 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1779 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1780 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1783 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1784 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1785 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1787 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1789 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1790 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1792 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1793 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1794 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1795 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1796 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1798 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1799 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1800 error message did not specify the attribute name
1803 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1805 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1807 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1808 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1809 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1811 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1812 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1815 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1817 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1818 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1819 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1820 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1822 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1824 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1825 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1826 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1827 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1829 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1830 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1831 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1834 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1835 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1836 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1837 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1839 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1840 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1841 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1842 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1843 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1845 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1846 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1847 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1848 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1849 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1850 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1852 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1853 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1854 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1855 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1856 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1857 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1859 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1860 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1862 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1863 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1864 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1865 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1867 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1868 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1871 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1875 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1876 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1878 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1879 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1880 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1881 guts. (nothingmuch).
1883 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1884 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1885 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1887 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1888 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1889 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1890 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1892 * Moose::Meta::Class
1893 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1896 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1897 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1899 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1900 * Moose::Unsweetened
1901 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1904 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1905 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1906 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1907 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1908 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1909 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1911 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1912 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1913 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1914 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1915 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1916 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1917 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1918 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1919 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1920 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1922 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1924 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1925 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1927 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1928 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1929 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1930 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1932 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1933 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1934 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1935 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1936 same methods for a single role did not work
1937 right (worked just fine with multiple
1939 - added test for this (stevan)
1941 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1942 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1943 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1946 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1947 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1948 - added test for this (t0m)
1951 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1952 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1953 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1955 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1956 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1957 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1958 - added test for this (t0m)
1960 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1961 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1962 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1963 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1964 - added test for this (perigrin)
1967 - create method for constructing a role
1968 dynamically (Sartak)
1969 - added test for this (Sartak)
1970 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1971 - added test for this (Sartak)
1974 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1976 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1977 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1978 methods is useful (Sartak)
1980 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1981 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1982 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1985 * Moose::Meta::Class
1986 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1987 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1988 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1989 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1990 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1991 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1994 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1995 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1997 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1998 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1999 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2000 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2001 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2003 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2005 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2006 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2007 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2010 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2011 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2012 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2013 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2014 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2015 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2018 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2019 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2020 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2021 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2022 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2023 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2024 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2025 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2026 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2027 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2028 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2030 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2031 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2034 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2035 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2036 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2037 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2038 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2040 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2042 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2043 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2044 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2046 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2047 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2049 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2050 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2051 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2052 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2055 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2056 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2058 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2060 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2061 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2063 * Moose::Meta::Class
2064 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2065 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2066 a required attribute
2068 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2069 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2070 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2071 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2073 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2074 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2076 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2077 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2078 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2079 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2080 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2081 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2082 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2083 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2085 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2086 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2087 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2089 * Roles and role application
2090 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2091 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2092 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2093 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2094 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2096 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2097 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2100 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2101 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2102 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2103 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2104 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2107 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2108 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2109 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2110 changes in the Moose internals.
2112 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2113 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2114 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2117 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2118 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2119 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2120 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2122 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2123 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2124 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2125 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2127 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2128 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2129 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2130 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2131 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2132 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2133 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2134 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2135 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2136 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2137 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2138 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2139 constraint implementations.
2141 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2145 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2146 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2147 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2148 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2149 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2150 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2151 - added tests for this (rafl)
2153 * Moose::Meta::Class
2154 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2155 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2156 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2157 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2158 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2159 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2160 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2161 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2164 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2165 - added tests for this (thepler)
2167 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2168 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2169 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2170 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2173 * Moose::Meta::Class
2174 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2175 * Moose::Meta::Method
2178 * Moose::Error::Default
2179 * Moose::Error::Croak
2180 * Moose::Error::Confess
2181 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2182 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2183 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2184 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2185 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2186 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2188 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2190 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2191 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2193 * Moose::Unsweetened
2194 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2195 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2196 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2199 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2200 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2201 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2202 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2205 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2206 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2208 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2209 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2210 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2211 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2214 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2216 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2217 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2219 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2222 - Various bug fixes.

2227 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2229 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2230 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2231 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2232 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2233 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2234 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2246 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2247 dependency to 0.64_07.
2249 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2250 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2251 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2253 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2254 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2258 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2259 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2260 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2261 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2262 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2264 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2265 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2267 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2269 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2270 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2274 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2275 method when that method was provided by another role being
2276 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2277 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2279 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2286 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2287 - added test for this (t0m)
2289 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2290 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2291 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2293 - added test for this (t0m)
2296 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2297 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2298 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2301 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2302 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2304 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2306 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2307 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2309 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2310 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2311 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2313 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2314 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2317 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2318 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2319 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2320 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2324 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2325 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2326 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2329 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2330 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2331 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2332 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2335 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2339 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2341 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2343 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2345 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2346 created so that the process can be more easily

2376 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2377 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2381 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2382 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2384 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2385 ... this is not my day today ...
2387 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2388 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2389 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2390 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2391 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2394 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2395 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2396 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2397 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2398 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2401 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2403 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2404 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2405 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2406 this is not ever something you want to do
2407 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2408 - added tests for this (stevan)
2411 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2413 - added test for this

2422 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2424 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2425 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2426 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2429 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2431 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2433 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2436 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2437 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2438 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2439 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2440 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2441 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2442 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2443 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2444 - added tests for this
2446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2447 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2448 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2449 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2451 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2520 which was causing the indexer to choke
2522 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2523 (late night release engineering)--
2525 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2526 changes in this release
2528 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

2536 * Moose::Meta::Class
2538 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2539 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2542 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2543 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2544 method for immutablization to check if the
2545 destructor object even needs to be created
2548 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2549 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2550 - added more descriptive error message to help
2551 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2552 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2554 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2556 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2557 XS based functionality is now optional
2558 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2559 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2560 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2562 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2563 to take care of this, mostly we added
2564 support for the package_name and name
2565 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2566 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2567 support regexp matching of names
2568 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2569 - tests added for this
2570 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2571 is currently not supported in roles,
2572 but, ... patches welcome
2573 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2574 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2575 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2578 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2579 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2580 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2581 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2582 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2583 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2584 - added test for this
2586 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2587 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2588 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2591 * Moose::Meta::Class
2592 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2596 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2598 - added tests for this
2599 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2600 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2603 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2604 themselves parameterizable types
2606 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2608 called by the inlined immutable
2610 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2612 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2613 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2614 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2615 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2617 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2618 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2630 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2633 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2634 ->body when looping through the
2635 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2637 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2638 eating the $@ values, and so not
2639 working correctly, it still kind of
2640 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2641 - added tests for this
2643 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2644 - added new recipe for immutable
2645 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2647 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2663 drink more coffee before
2664 doing release engineering
2666 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2700 - added test for this
2702 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2779 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2781 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2783 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2784 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2785 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2786 officially support it.
2787 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2788 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
2791 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
2792 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

2823 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2825 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2826 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2827 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2828 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2829 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2831 - added more delegation tests
2832 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2833 support traits and their introspection.
2834 - added tests for this

2990 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2991 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

3074 - added tests for this
3077 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3078 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3117 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3120 - fixed how required methods are handled
3121 when they encounter overriden or modified
3122 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3123 - added tests for this
3125 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3126 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3127 the | always creates a union and so is
3128 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3129 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3131 - added more tests for this
3133 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3136 * Parameterized Types
3137 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3138 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3139 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3140 They can also be nested:
3141 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3142 And work with the type unions as well:
3143 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3145 * Better Framework Extendability
3146 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3147 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3148 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3149 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3152 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3153 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3154 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3155 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3390 so that you can actually document your
3391 attributes and inspect them through the

3395 * Moose::Meta::Class
3396 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3397 it will first look in for the class in the
3398 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3399 then default to just loading $name.
3400 - added tests and docs for this
3402 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3403 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3404 - added test for this
3407 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

3409 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3410 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3412 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3413 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3416 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3418 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3419 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3420 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3423 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3424 !! for this developer release to work !!
3426 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3427 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3428 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3429 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3430 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3431 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3432 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3433 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3434 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3435 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3436 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3438 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3439 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3440 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3441 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3444 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3445 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3446 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3447 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3448 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3450 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3452 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3453 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3456 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3457 called unless they actually need to be.
3458 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3459 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3460 DEMOLISH method present.
3462 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3463 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3464 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3465 type constraint, which allows for a
3466 hand optimized version of the type
3467 constraint to be used when possible.
3468 - Any internally created type constraints
3469 now provide an optimized version as well.
3471 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3473 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3474 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3475 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3478 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3479 your class namespace of these exported
3482 * Moose::Meta::Class
3483 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3484 comes up during global destruction
3486 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3490 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3493 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3494 - changed how we do type checks so that
3495 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3498 - moved accessor generation methods to
3499 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3500 conform to the API changes from
3503 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3504 - changed how constraints are compiled
3505 so that we do less recursion and more
3506 iteration. This makes the type check
3508 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3511 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3512 - created this from methods formerly found in
3513 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3515 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3516 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3518 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3519 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3521 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3522 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3524 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3526 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3527 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3528 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3529 - added tests for this
3530 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3531 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3532 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3533 - removed tests for this
3535 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3537 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3538 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3539 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3542 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3543 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3544 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3546 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3547 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3548 comments for more info.
3551 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3552 asked questions and common problems
3554 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3555 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3556 - added tests for this
3558 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3559 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3560 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3561 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3563 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3564 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3567 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3568 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3569 is much appreciated :)
3570 - added tests for this
3572 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3573 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3574 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3577 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3578 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3580 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3582 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3583 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3587 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3588 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3589 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3591 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3593 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3596 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3597 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3598 keywords because we need to localize them.
3599 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3601 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3602 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3603 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3606 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3609 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3610 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3611 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3614 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3615 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3616 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3618 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3620 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3621 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3622 bottom of your class file.
3625 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3628 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3630 - improved error message when loading modules so
3631 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3632 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3633 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3636 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3637 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3638 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3640 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3641 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3643 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3644 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3645 turn them on for you.
3646 - added tests for this
3647 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3648 in Moose::Meta::Class
3651 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3652 automatically turned on for you.

3656 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3657 - added tests for this

3671 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3674 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3675 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3676 - This release works in combination with
3677 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3678 release because it uses the a new
3679 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3680 complete Role implementation. It has
3681 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3682 the the previous CPAN version. This
3683 release also lacks good updated docs,
3684 the official release will have updated docs.
3687 - refactored the keyword exports
3688 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3689 accepts more than one Role at a time
3690 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3691 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3694 - refactored the keyword exports
3695 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3696 accepts more than one Role at a time
3698 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3699 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3700 string enumerations which can be used as
3702 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3705 - more careful checking of params to new()
3708 - much work done on the role composition
3709 - many new tests for conflict detection
3710 and composition edge cases
3711 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3712 looking at the tests
3714 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3715 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3716 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3718 * Moose::Meta::Class
3719 - some small changes to support the new
3721 - some small additions to support Roles
3723 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3724 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3726 - some small changes to support the new
3728 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3729 with the 'handles' option
3730 - added several tests for this
3731 - no docs for this yet
3733 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3735 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3736 thanks to chansen for this commit
3737 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3738 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3739 on a per-attribute basis
3740 - added tests for this
3741 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3742 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3743 experimental feature and probably not finished
3744 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3745 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3746 - added tests for this

3808 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3810 - added test for this
3813 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
