1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
9 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
11 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
12 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
13 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
15 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
16 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
17 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
19 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
22 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
23 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
26 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
27 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
28 remove_accessors. (doy)
30 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
31 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
32 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
33 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
36 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
37 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
39 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
40 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
42 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
44 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
45 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
48 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
49 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
50 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
51 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
52 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
54 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
55 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
56 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
57 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
58 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
59 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
60 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
63 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
64 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
65 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
66 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
67 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
69 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
70 which were not receiving the value of
71 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
72 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
73 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
74 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
78 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
79 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
80 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
81 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
82 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
85 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
86 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
87 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
88 - added tests for this (Stevan)
91 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
92 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
93 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
96 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
97 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
98 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
100 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
101 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
102 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
105 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
106 class if you pass it options for
107 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
108 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
109 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
110 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
111 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
112 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
113 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
114 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
115 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
117 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
118 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
119 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
120 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
121 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
124 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
125 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
126 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
127 existing delegation API. (hdp)
129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
130 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
131 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
132 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
133 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
134 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
137 * Moose::Error::Croak
138 * Moose::Error::Confess
139 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
140 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
143 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
146 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
147 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
148 installing a broken sub. (doy)
151 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
154 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
155 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
156 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
158 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
159 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
160 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
161 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
162 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
164 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
165 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
168 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
170 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
171 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
174 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
175 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
177 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
178 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
179 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
180 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
182 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
183 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
184 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
185 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
186 using it for new code!
188 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
189 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
190 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
191 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
193 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
194 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
195 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
196 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
197 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
198 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
199 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
200 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
203 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
206 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
207 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
210 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
211 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
213 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
214 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
215 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
219 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
220 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
223 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
224 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
227 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
228 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
231 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
232 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
233 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
234 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
235 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
236 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
238 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
240 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
243 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
244 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
245 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
247 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
248 associated_methods. (hdp)
249 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
250 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
251 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
252 misspelled) arguments
254 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
255 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
256 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
257 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
259 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
260 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
261 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
263 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
266 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
267 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
268 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
271 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
272 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
274 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
276 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
277 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
279 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
280 * Moose::Manual::Types
281 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
282 string parsing rathole (mst)
284 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
285 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
286 using plain objects instead
288 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
289 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
292 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
294 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
295 three times today (perigrin)
296 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
297 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
300 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
301 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
302 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
305 - A role's required methods are now represented by
306 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
307 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
308 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
309 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
310 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
313 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
314 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
315 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
316 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
319 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
321 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
324 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
326 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
329 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
330 during global destruction. This method has been made more
331 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
335 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
336 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
339 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
340 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
342 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
343 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
344 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
347 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
349 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
350 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
353 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
357 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
358 methods during global destruction (doy)
361 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
362 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
366 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
367 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
370 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
371 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
374 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
375 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
377 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
379 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
383 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
384 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
385 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
388 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
389 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
390 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
393 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
395 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
396 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
397 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
400 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
401 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
402 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
403 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
405 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
406 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
407 of the Moose core (Sartak)
410 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
413 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
414 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
415 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
419 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
420 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
423 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
425 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
428 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
429 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
432 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
433 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
436 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
437 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
440 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
443 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
445 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
446 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
450 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
452 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
453 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
456 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
457 * More deprecations and renamings
458 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
459 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
460 when an object is constructed)
463 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
464 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
465 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
467 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
468 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
469 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
470 feature, and it works again.
473 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
475 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
477 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
478 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
479 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
481 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
482 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
483 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
484 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
485 message. Test provided by perigrin.
487 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
488 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
489 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
490 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
491 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
494 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
495 metaclass object. (hdp)
497 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
498 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
499 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
500 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
501 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
502 point out this fact. (hdp)
504 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
505 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
507 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
508 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
511 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
512 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
513 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
514 called during instance construction were passed the
515 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
516 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
518 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
519 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
522 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
523 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
524 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
527 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
528 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
529 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
530 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
531 them, but they are not for "public" use.
534 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
536 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
537 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
538 when an object is constructed)
539 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
541 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
542 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
543 when an object is constructed)
544 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
545 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
546 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
549 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
551 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
552 * No changes from 0.72_01.
554 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
556 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
557 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
558 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
560 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
561 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
562 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
564 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
566 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
567 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
569 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
570 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
573 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
574 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
577 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
578 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
579 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
581 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
582 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
586 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
587 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
588 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
591 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
594 * Moose::Manual::Delta
595 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
596 with recommended workarounds.
598 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
599 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
601 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
602 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
603 (yes, spelled like that).
605 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
606 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
609 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
610 changes in latest Class::MOP.
612 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
614 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
615 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
616 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
617 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
618 instead. Reported by doy.
620 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
622 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
623 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
625 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
626 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
627 message) is now deprecated.
628 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
629 often got it wrong. For example:
631 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
633 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
637 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
638 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
639 bite you in weird cases.
641 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
642 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
643 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
646 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
647 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
651 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
654 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
655 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
658 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
659 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
661 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
662 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
665 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
666 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
667 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
668 - added tests for this (stevan)
670 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
671 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
672 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
673 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
677 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
678 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
679 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
680 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
682 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
683 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
684 - added tests for this (rafl)
686 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
687 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
688 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
689 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
693 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
694 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
697 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
698 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
699 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
701 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
703 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
704 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
707 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
708 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
709 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
710 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
712 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
713 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
714 error message did not specify the attribute name
717 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
719 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
721 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
722 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
723 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
725 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
726 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
729 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
731 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
732 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
733 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
734 of fixes and formatting improvements.
736 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
738 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
739 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
740 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
741 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
743 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
744 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
745 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
747 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
748 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
749 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
750 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
751 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
753 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
754 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
755 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
756 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
757 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
759 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
760 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
761 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
762 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
763 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
764 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
766 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
767 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
768 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
769 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
770 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
771 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
773 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
774 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
776 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
777 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
778 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
779 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
781 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
782 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
785 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
789 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
790 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
792 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
793 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
794 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
797 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
798 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
799 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
801 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
802 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
803 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
804 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
807 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
810 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
811 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
813 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
815 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
818 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
819 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
820 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
821 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
822 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
823 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
825 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
826 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
827 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
828 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
829 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
830 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
831 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
832 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
833 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
834 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
836 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
838 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
839 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
841 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
842 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
843 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
844 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
846 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
847 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
848 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
849 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
850 same methods for a single role did not work
851 right (worked just fine with multiple
853 - added test for this (stevan)
855 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
856 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
857 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
860 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
861 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
862 - added test for this (t0m)
865 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
866 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
867 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
869 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
870 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
871 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
872 - added test for this (t0m)
874 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
875 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
876 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
877 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
878 - added test for this (perigrin)
881 - create method for constructing a role
883 - added test for this (Sartak)
884 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
885 - added test for this (Sartak)
888 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
890 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
891 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
892 methods is useful (Sartak)
894 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
895 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
896 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
900 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
901 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
902 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
903 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
904 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
905 - added tests for this (jdv79)
908 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
909 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
911 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
912 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
913 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
914 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
915 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
917 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
919 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
920 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
921 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
924 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
925 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
926 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
927 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
928 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
929 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
932 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
933 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
934 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
935 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
936 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
937 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
938 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
939 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
940 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
941 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
942 future. (jnapiorkowski)
944 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
945 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
948 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
949 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
950 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
951 type. (jnapiorkowski)
952 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
954 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
956 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
957 predicate, and link to more details sections in
958 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
960 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
961 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
963 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
964 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
965 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
966 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
969 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
970 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
972 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
974 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
975 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
978 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
979 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
982 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
983 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
984 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
985 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
987 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
988 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
990 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
991 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
992 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
993 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
994 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
995 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
996 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
997 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
999 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1000 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1001 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1003 * Roles and role application
1004 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1005 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1006 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1007 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1008 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1010 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1011 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1014 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1015 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1016 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1017 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1018 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1021 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1022 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1023 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1024 changes in the Moose internals.
1026 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1027 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1028 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1031 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1032 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1033 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1034 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1036 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1037 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1038 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1039 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1041 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1042 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1043 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1044 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1045 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1046 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1047 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1048 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1049 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1050 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1051 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1052 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1053 constraint implementations.
1055 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1059 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1060 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1061 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1062 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1063 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1064 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1065 - added tests for this (rafl)
1067 * Moose::Meta::Class
1068 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1069 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1070 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1071 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1072 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1073 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1074 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1075 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1078 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1079 - added tests for this (thepler)
1081 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1082 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1083 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1084 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1087 * Moose::Meta::Class
1088 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1089 * Moose::Meta::Method
1092 * Moose::Error::Default
1093 * Moose::Error::Croak
1094 * Moose::Error::Confess
1095 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1096 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1097 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1098 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1099 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1100 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1102 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1104 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1105 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1107 * Moose::Unsweetened
1108 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1109 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1110 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1112 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1113 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1114 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1115 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1116 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1119 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1120 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1122 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1123 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1124 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1125 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1128 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1130 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1131 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1133 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1136 - Various bug fixes.
1138 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1139 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1141 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1143 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1144 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1145 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1146 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1147 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1148 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1150 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1151 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1152 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1154 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1155 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1156 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1159 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1160 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1161 dependency to 0.64_07.
1163 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1164 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1165 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1167 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1168 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1171 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1172 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1173 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1174 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1175 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1176 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1178 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1179 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1181 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1183 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1184 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1188 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1189 method when that method was provided by another role being
1190 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1191 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1193 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1195 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1196 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1198 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1199 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1200 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1201 - added test for this (t0m)
1203 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1204 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1205 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1207 - added test for this (t0m)
1210 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1211 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1212 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1215 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1216 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1218 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1220 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1221 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1223 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1224 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1225 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1227 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1228 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1231 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1232 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1233 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1234 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1238 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1239 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1240 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1243 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1244 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1245 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1246 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1249 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1253 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1254 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1255 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1257 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1259 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1260 created so that the process can be more easily
1261 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1263 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1264 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1265 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1266 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1268 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1269 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1272 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1273 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1275 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1276 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1277 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1279 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1280 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1281 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1283 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1284 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1286 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1287 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1290 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1291 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1295 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1296 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1298 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1299 ... this is not my day today ...
1301 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1302 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1303 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1304 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1305 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1308 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1309 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1310 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1311 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1312 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1315 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1317 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1318 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1319 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1320 this is not ever something you want to do
1321 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1322 - added tests for this (stevan)
1325 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1327 - added test for this
1329 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1330 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1331 - added tests for this (wreis)
1333 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1334 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1335 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1336 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1338 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1339 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1340 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1343 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1345 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1347 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1350 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1351 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1352 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1353 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1354 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1355 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1356 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1357 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)

2043 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2045 - added more tests for this
2047 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2050 * Parameterized Types
2051 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2052 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2053 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2054 They can also be nested:
2055 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2056 And work with the type unions as well:
2057 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2059 * Better Framework Extendability
2060 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2061 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2062 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2063 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2066 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2067 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2068 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2069 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2072 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2074 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2075 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2124 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2126 - added tests for this
2128 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2134 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2135 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2137 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2156 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2157 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2158 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2207 (but not changing the handles option)
2208 - added tests and docs for this
2211 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2212 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2216 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2217 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2223 the other side (perigrin)
2225 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2227 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2228 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2229 prototypes for functions
2230 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2231 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2239 merlyn for finding this bug
2240 - tests added for this
2241 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2244 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2245 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2246 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2247 - added tests for this
2249 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2251 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2272 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2273 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2275 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2276 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2277 so this release is just to fix that.
2280 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2281 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2282 (thanks to konobi for this)
2283 - added tests and docs
2285 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2288 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2289 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2290 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2291 - added tests for this

2293 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2294 functions to facilitate introspection.
2296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2297 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2298 to build the list of delegated methods
2299 correctly (and not override important
2300 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2302 - added tests and docs for this
2303 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2304 so that you can actually document your
2305 attributes and inspect them through the
2307 - added tests and docs for this
2309 * Moose::Meta::Class
2310 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2311 it will first look in for the class in the
2312 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2313 then default to just loading $name.
2314 - added tests and docs for this
2316 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2317 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2318 - added test for this
2321 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2322 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2323 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2324 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2326 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2327 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2330 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2332 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2333 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2334 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2337 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2338 !! for this developer release to work !!
2340 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2341 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2342 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2343 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2344 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2345 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2346 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2347 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2348 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2349 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2350 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2352 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2353 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2354 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2355 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2358 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2359 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2360 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2361 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2362 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2364 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2366 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2367 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2370 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2371 called unless they actually need to be.
2372 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2373 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2374 DEMOLISH method present.
2376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2377 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2378 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2379 type constraint, which allows for a
2380 hand optimized version of the type
2381 constraint to be used when possible.
2382 - Any internally created type constraints
2383 now provide an optimized version as well.
2385 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2387 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2388 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2389 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2391 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2392 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2393 your class namespace of these exported
2396 * Moose::Meta::Class
2397 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2398 comes up during global destruction
2400 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2404 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2407 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2408 - changed how we do type checks so that
2409 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2412 - moved accessor generation methods to
2413 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2414 conform to the API changes from
2417 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2418 - changed how constraints are compiled
2419 so that we do less recursion and more
2420 iteration. This makes the type check
2422 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2425 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2426 - created this from methods formerly found in
2427 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2429 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2430 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2432 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2433 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2435 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2436 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2438 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2440 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2441 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2442 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2443 - added tests for this
2444 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2445 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2446 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2447 - removed tests for this
2449 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2451 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2452 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2453 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2456 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2457 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2458 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2460 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2461 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2462 comments for more info.
2465 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2466 asked questions and common problems
2468 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2469 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2470 - added tests for this
2472 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2473 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2474 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2475 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2477 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2478 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2481 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2482 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2483 is much appreciated :)
2484 - added tests for this
2486 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2487 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2488 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2491 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2492 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2494 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2496 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2497 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2501 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2502 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2503 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2505 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2507 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2510 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2511 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2512 keywords because we need to localize them.
2513 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2515 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2516 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2517 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2520 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2523 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2524 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2525 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2528 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2529 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2530 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2532 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2534 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2535 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2536 bottom of your class file.
2539 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2542 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2544 - improved error message when loading modules so
2545 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2546 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2547 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2550 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2551 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2552 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2554 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2555 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2557 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2558 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2559 turn them on for you.
2560 - added tests for this
2561 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2562 in Moose::Meta::Class

2589 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2590 - This release works in combination with
2591 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2592 release because it uses the a new
2593 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2594 complete Role implementation. It has
2595 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2596 the the previous CPAN version. This
2597 release also lacks good updated docs,
2598 the official release will have updated docs.
2601 - refactored the keyword exports
2602 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2603 accepts more than one Role at a time

2605 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2608 - refactored the keyword exports
2609 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2610 accepts more than one Role at a time
2612 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2614 string enumerations which can be used as
2616 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2619 - more careful checking of params to new()
2622 - much work done on the role composition
2623 - many new tests for conflict detection
2624 and composition edge cases
2625 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2626 looking at the tests
2628 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2629 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2630 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2649 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2650 thanks to chansen for this commit
2651 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2652 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2653 on a per-attribute basis
2654 - added tests for this
2655 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2656 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2657 experimental feature and probably not finished

2659 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2660 - added tests for this
2663 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2722 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2724 - added test for this
2727 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
