1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
7 three times today (perigrin)
8 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
9 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
11 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
12 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
13 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
14 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
17 - A role's required methods are now represented by
18 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
19 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
20 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
21 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
22 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
25 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
26 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
27 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
28 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
31 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
33 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
36 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
38 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
41 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
42 during global destruction. This method has been made more
43 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
47 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
48 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
51 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
52 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
54 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
55 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
56 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
59 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
61 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
62 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
65 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
69 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
70 methods during global destruction (doy)
73 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
74 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
78 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
79 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
82 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
83 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
86 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
87 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
91 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
95 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
96 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
97 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
100 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
101 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
102 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
105 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
107 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
108 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
109 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
112 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
113 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
114 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
115 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
117 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
118 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
119 of the Moose core (Sartak)
122 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
125 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
126 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
127 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
131 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
132 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
135 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
137 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
140 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
141 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
144 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
145 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
148 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
149 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
152 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
155 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
158 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
162 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
164 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
165 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
168 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
169 * More deprecations and renamings
170 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
171 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
172 when an object is constructed)
175 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
176 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
177 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
179 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
180 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
181 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
182 feature, and it works again.
185 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
187 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
189 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
190 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
191 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
193 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
194 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
195 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
196 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
197 message. Test provided by perigrin.
199 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
200 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
201 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
202 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
203 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
206 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
207 metaclass object. (hdp)
209 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
210 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
211 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
212 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
213 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
214 point out this fact. (hdp)
216 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
217 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
219 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
220 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
223 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
224 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
225 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
226 called during instance construction were passed the
227 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
228 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
230 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
231 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
234 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
235 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
236 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
239 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
240 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
241 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
242 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
243 them, but they are not for "public" use.
246 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
248 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
249 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
250 when an object is constructed)
251 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
253 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
254 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
255 when an object is constructed)
256 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
257 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
258 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
261 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
263 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
264 * No changes from 0.72_01.
266 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
268 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
269 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
270 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
272 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
273 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
274 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
276 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
278 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
279 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
281 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
282 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
285 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
286 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
289 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
290 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
291 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
293 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
294 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
298 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
299 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
300 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
302 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
303 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
306 * Moose::Manual::Delta
307 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
308 with recommended workarounds.
310 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
311 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
313 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
314 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
315 (yes, spelled like that).
317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
318 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
321 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
322 changes in latest Class::MOP.
324 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
327 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
328 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
329 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
330 instead. Reported by doy.
332 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
334 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
335 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
337 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
338 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
339 message) is now deprecated.
340 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
341 often got it wrong. For example:
343 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
345 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
349 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
350 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
351 bite you in weird cases.
353 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
354 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
355 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
358 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
359 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
363 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
366 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
367 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
370 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
371 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
373 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
374 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
377 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
378 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
379 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
380 - added tests for this (stevan)
382 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
383 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
384 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
385 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
389 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
390 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
391 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
392 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
394 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
395 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
396 - added tests for this (rafl)
398 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
399 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
400 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
401 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
405 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
406 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
409 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
410 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
411 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
413 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
415 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
416 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
419 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
420 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
421 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
422 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
424 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
425 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
426 error message did not specify the attribute name
429 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
431 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
433 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
434 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
435 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
437 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
438 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
441 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
443 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
444 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
445 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
446 of fixes and formatting improvements.
448 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
450 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
451 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
452 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
453 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
455 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
456 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
457 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
459 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
460 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
461 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
462 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
463 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
465 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
466 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
467 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
468 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
469 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
471 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
472 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
473 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
474 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
475 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
476 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
478 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
479 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
480 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
481 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
482 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
483 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
485 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
486 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
488 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
489 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
490 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
491 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
493 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
494 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
497 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
501 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
502 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
504 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
505 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
506 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
509 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
510 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
511 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
513 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
514 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
515 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
516 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
519 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
522 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
523 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
525 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
527 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
530 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
531 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
532 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
533 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
534 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
535 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
537 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
538 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
539 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
540 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
541 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
542 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
543 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
544 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
545 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
546 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
548 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
550 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
551 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
553 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
554 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
555 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
556 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
558 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
559 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
560 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
561 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
562 same methods for a single role did not work
563 right (worked just fine with multiple
565 - added test for this (stevan)
567 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
568 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
569 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
572 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
573 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
574 - added test for this (t0m)
577 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
578 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
579 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
581 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
582 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
583 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
584 - added test for this (t0m)
586 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
587 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
588 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
589 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
590 - added test for this (perigrin)
593 - create method for constructing a role
595 - added test for this (Sartak)
596 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
597 - added test for this (Sartak)
600 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
602 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
603 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
604 methods is useful (Sartak)
606 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
607 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
608 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
612 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
613 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
614 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
615 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
616 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
617 - added tests for this (jdv79)
620 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
621 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
623 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
624 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
625 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
626 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
627 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
629 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
631 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
632 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
633 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
636 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
637 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
638 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
639 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
640 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
641 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
645 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
646 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
647 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
648 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
649 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
650 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
651 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
652 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
653 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
654 future. (jnapiorkowski)
656 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
657 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
660 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
661 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
662 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
663 type. (jnapiorkowski)
664 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
666 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
668 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
669 predicate, and link to more details sections in
670 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
672 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
673 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
675 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
676 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
677 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
678 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
681 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
682 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
684 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
686 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
687 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
690 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
691 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
694 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
695 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
696 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
697 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
699 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
700 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
702 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
703 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
704 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
705 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
706 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
707 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
708 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
709 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
711 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
712 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
713 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
715 * Roles and role application
716 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
717 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
718 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
719 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
720 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
722 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
723 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
726 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
727 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
728 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
729 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
730 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
733 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
734 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
735 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
736 changes in the Moose internals.
738 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
739 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
740 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
743 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
744 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
745 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
746 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
748 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
749 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
750 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
751 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
753 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
754 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
755 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
756 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
757 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
758 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
759 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
760 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
761 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
762 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
763 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
764 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
765 constraint implementations.
767 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
771 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
772 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
773 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
774 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
775 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
776 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
777 - added tests for this (rafl)
780 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
781 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
782 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
783 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
784 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
785 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
786 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
787 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
790 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
791 - added tests for this (thepler)
793 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
794 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
795 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
796 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
800 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
801 * Moose::Meta::Method
804 * Moose::Error::Default
805 * Moose::Error::Croak
806 * Moose::Error::Confess
807 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
808 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
809 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
810 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
811 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
812 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
814 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
816 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
817 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
820 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
821 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
822 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
824 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
825 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
826 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
827 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
828 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
831 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
832 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
834 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
835 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
836 several major changes in this release of Moose.
837 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
840 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
842 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
843 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
845 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
850 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
851 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

855 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
856 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
857 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
858 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
859 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
860 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
862 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
863 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
864 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
866 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

871 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
872 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
873 dependency to 0.64_07.
875 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
876 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
877 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
880 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
883 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
884 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
885 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
886 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
887 coincidental exception. (t0m).
888 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
890 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
891 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
893 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
895 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
896 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
900 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
901 method when that method was provided by another role being
902 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
903 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
905 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
907 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
908 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
910 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

912 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
913 - added test for this (t0m)
915 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
916 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
917 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
919 - added test for this (t0m)
922 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
923 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
924 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
927 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
928 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
930 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
932 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
935 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
936 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
937 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
939 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
940 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
943 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
944 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
945 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
946 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
950 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
951 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
952 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
955 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
956 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
957 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
958 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
961 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
965 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
966 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
967 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)

987 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
988 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
989 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

1008 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1010 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1011 ... this is not my day today ...
1013 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1014 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1015 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1016 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1017 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1020 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1021 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1022 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1023 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1024 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1027 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1029 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1030 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1031 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1032 this is not ever something you want to do
1033 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1034 - added tests for this (stevan)
1037 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1039 - added test for this

1059 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1062 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1063 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1064 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1065 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1066 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1067 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1068 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1069 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1070 - added tests for this
1072 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1073 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1074 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1075 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1146 which was causing the indexer to choke
1148 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1149 (late night release engineering)--
1151 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1152 changes in this release

1175 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1176 - added more descriptive error message to help
1177 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1178 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1180 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1182 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1183 XS based functionality is now optional
1184 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1185 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1186 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1188 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1189 to take care of this, mostly we added
1190 support for the package_name and name
1191 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1192 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1193 support regexp matching of names
1194 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1197 is currently not supported in roles,
1198 but, ... patches welcome

1205 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1206 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1207 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1208 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1209 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1210 - added test for this
1212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1234 called by the inlined immutable
1236 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1238 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1239 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1240 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1241 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1243 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1244 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1248 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was

1256 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1259 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1260 ->body when looping through the
1261 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1263 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1264 eating the $@ values, and so not
1265 working correctly, it still kind of
1266 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1267 - added tests for this
1269 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1270 - added new recipe for immutable

1282 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1284 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1285 since Module::Install has done that.

1289 drink more coffee before
1290 doing release engineering
1292 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1297 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1298 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

1411 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
1412 officially support it.
1413 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
1414 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
1417 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
1418 monkeypatching of classes in one liners
1421 - fixing the 'apply_all_roles' keyword so that it will not
1422 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

1449 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1451 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1452 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
1453 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1454 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1455 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1457 - added more delegation tests
1458 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1459 support traits and their introspection.
1460 - added tests for this

1700 - added tests for this
1703 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1704 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1747 when they encounter overriden or modified
1748 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1749 - added tests for this
1751 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1759 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1762 * Parameterized Types
1763 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1764 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1765 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1766 They can also be nested:
1767 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1768 And work with the type unions as well:
1769 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1771 * Better Framework Extendability
1772 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1773 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1774 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1775 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1778 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1779 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1780 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1781 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1784 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1786 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2016 so that you can actually document your
2017 attributes and inspect them through the

2021 * Moose::Meta::Class
2022 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2023 it will first look in for the class in the
2024 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2025 then default to just loading $name.
2026 - added tests and docs for this
2028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2029 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2030 - added test for this
2033 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2035 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2036 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2038 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2039 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2042 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2044 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2045 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2046 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2049 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2050 !! for this developer release to work !!
2052 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2053 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2054 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2055 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2056 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2057 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2058 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2059 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2060 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2061 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2062 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2064 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2065 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2066 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2067 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2070 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2071 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2072 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2073 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2074 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2076 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2078 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2079 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2082 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2083 called unless they actually need to be.
2084 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2085 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2086 DEMOLISH method present.
2088 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2089 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2090 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2091 type constraint, which allows for a
2092 hand optimized version of the type
2093 constraint to be used when possible.
2094 - Any internally created type constraints
2095 now provide an optimized version as well.
2097 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2099 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2100 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2101 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2103 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2104 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2105 your class namespace of these exported
2108 * Moose::Meta::Class
2109 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2110 comes up during global destruction
2112 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2116 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2119 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2120 - changed how we do type checks so that
2121 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2124 - moved accessor generation methods to
2125 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2126 conform to the API changes from
2129 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2130 - changed how constraints are compiled
2131 so that we do less recursion and more
2132 iteration. This makes the type check
2134 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2137 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2138 - created this from methods formerly found in
2139 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2141 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2142 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2144 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2145 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2147 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2148 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2150 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2152 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2153 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2154 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2155 - added tests for this
2156 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2157 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2158 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2159 - removed tests for this
2161 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2163 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2164 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2165 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2168 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2169 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2170 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2172 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2173 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2174 comments for more info.
2177 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2178 asked questions and common problems
2180 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2181 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2182 - added tests for this
2184 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2185 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2186 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2187 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2189 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2190 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2193 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2194 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2195 is much appreciated :)
2196 - added tests for this
2198 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2199 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2200 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2204 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2206 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2208 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2209 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2213 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2214 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2215 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2217 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2219 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2222 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2223 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2224 keywords because we need to localize them.
2225 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2227 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2228 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2229 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2232 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2235 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2236 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2237 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2240 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2241 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2242 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2244 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2246 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2247 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2248 bottom of your class file.
2251 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2254 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2256 - improved error message when loading modules so
2257 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2258 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2259 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2262 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2263 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2264 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2266 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2267 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2269 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2270 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2271 turn them on for you.
2272 - added tests for this
2273 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2274 in Moose::Meta::Class
2277 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2278 automatically turned on for you.

2297 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2300 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2301 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2302 - This release works in combination with
2303 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2304 release because it uses the a new
2305 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2306 complete Role implementation. It has
2307 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2308 the the previous CPAN version. This
2309 release also lacks good updated docs,
2310 the official release will have updated docs.
2313 - refactored the keyword exports
2314 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2315 accepts more than one Role at a time
2316 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2317 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2320 - refactored the keyword exports
2321 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2322 accepts more than one Role at a time
2324 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2325 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2326 string enumerations which can be used as
2328 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2331 - more careful checking of params to new()
2334 - much work done on the role composition
2335 - many new tests for conflict detection
2336 and composition edge cases
2337 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2338 looking at the tests
2340 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2341 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2342 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2344 * Moose::Meta::Class
2345 - some small changes to support the new
2347 - some small additions to support Roles
2349 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2350 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2352 - some small changes to support the new
2354 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2355 with the 'handles' option
2356 - added several tests for this
2357 - no docs for this yet
2359 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2361 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2362 thanks to chansen for this commit
2363 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2364 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2365 on a per-attribute basis
2366 - added tests for this
2367 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2368 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2369 experimental feature and probably not finished
2370 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2371 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2372 - added tests for this
2375 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2386 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
2387 construct_instance (for the better)
2389 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2390 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2391 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)

2434 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2436 - added test for this
2439 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
