1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
10 * Fix some indexing issues.
11 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
13 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
17 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
18 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
19 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
20 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
21 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
23 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
24 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
29 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
30 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
31 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
32 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
34 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
35 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
36 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
40 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
41 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
43 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
47 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
48 policy. (Chris Prather)
50 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
51 on this new support policy. (doy)
55 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
56 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
57 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
59 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
60 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
62 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
66 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
67 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
68 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
69 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
76 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
77 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
80 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
84 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
85 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
87 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
88 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
92 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
93 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
94 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
95 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
96 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
97 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
99 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
100 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
102 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
103 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
104 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
105 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
107 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
108 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
110 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
115 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
116 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
118 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
122 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
123 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
124 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
126 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
130 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
131 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
132 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
134 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
135 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
138 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
139 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
142 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
143 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
144 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
146 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
147 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
152 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
153 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
154 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
155 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
157 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
158 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
160 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
161 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
163 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
164 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
165 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
166 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
168 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
169 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
170 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
173 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
174 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
175 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
176 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
178 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
179 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
182 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
183 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
184 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
186 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
190 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
191 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
192 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
194 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
195 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
196 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
199 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
200 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
201 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
203 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
204 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
205 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
207 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
208 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
212 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
213 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
214 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
216 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
217 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
218 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
219 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
221 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
225 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
226 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
227 value is a reference.
229 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
230 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
232 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
236 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
237 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
238 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
240 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
244 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
245 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
249 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
250 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
251 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
253 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
254 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
255 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
257 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
261 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
263 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
267 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
269 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
270 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
275 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
276 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
278 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
279 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
280 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
281 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
282 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
284 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
285 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
286 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
287 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
289 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
293 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
294 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
299 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
301 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
303 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
308 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
310 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
314 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
315 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
316 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
318 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
319 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
320 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
321 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
323 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
324 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
325 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
326 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
327 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
330 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
335 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
336 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
337 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
338 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
339 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
342 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
346 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
349 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
350 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
354 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
355 function (not just method). (doy)
359 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
360 and aren't easily installable/testable.
362 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
366 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
367 to be overridden more easily (doy).
369 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
373 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
374 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
376 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
380 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
381 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
382 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
384 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
388 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
389 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
390 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
392 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
393 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
397 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
398 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
400 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
401 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
405 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
406 is applied to a class (t0m).
408 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
409 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
411 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
414 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
415 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
417 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
418 be much more robust. (doy)
420 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
422 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
425 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
429 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
430 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
432 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
436 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
437 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
439 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
442 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
443 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
444 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
446 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
447 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
448 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
451 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
453 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
457 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
458 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
462 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
464 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
469 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
473 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
474 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
478 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
480 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
484 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
485 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
489 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
490 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
494 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
495 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
497 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
501 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
502 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
503 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
506 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
510 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
511 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
512 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
513 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
515 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
519 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
520 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
521 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
525 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
528 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
532 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
533 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
534 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
538 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
539 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
541 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
542 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
543 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
544 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
546 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
550 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
554 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
555 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
557 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
558 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
559 - Moose::Util::does_role
560 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
561 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
562 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
564 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
568 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
569 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
570 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
573 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
577 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
578 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
581 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
585 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
586 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
589 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
593 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
595 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
596 class. (Dave Rolsky).
598 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
599 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
600 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
602 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
603 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
604 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
607 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
608 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
610 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
611 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
612 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
614 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
616 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
617 substr et al, again. (sorear)
619 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
621 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
624 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
625 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
627 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
628 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
630 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
631 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
632 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
633 dependencies installed.
635 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
636 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
639 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
641 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
645 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
647 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
648 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
649 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
651 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
652 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
653 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
655 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
656 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
659 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
660 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
661 others. (nothingmuch)
663 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
664 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
665 remove_accessors. (doy)
667 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
668 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
669 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
671 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
672 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
674 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
675 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
676 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
677 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
680 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
681 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
683 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
684 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
686 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
688 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
689 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
692 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
693 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
694 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
695 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
696 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
698 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
699 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
700 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
701 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
702 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
703 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
704 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
707 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
708 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
709 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
710 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
711 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
713 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
714 which were not receiving the value of
715 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
716 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
717 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
718 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
722 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
723 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
724 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
725 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
726 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
729 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
730 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
731 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
732 - added tests for this (Stevan)
735 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
736 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
737 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
740 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
741 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
742 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
744 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
745 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
746 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
749 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
750 class if you pass it options for
751 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
752 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
753 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
754 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
755 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
756 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
757 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
758 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
759 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
761 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
762 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
763 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
764 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
765 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
768 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
769 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
770 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
771 existing delegation API. (hdp)
773 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
774 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
775 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
776 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
777 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
778 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
781 * Moose::Error::Croak
782 * Moose::Error::Confess
783 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
784 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
787 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
790 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
791 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
792 installing a broken sub. (doy)
795 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
798 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
799 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
800 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
802 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
803 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
804 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
805 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
806 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
808 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
809 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
812 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
814 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
815 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
818 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
819 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
821 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
822 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
823 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
824 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
826 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
827 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
828 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
829 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
830 using it for new code!
832 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
833 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
834 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
835 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
837 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
838 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
839 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
840 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
841 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
842 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
843 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
844 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
847 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
850 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
851 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
854 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
855 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
857 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
858 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
859 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
862 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
863 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
864 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
867 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
868 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
870 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
871 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
872 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
875 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
876 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
877 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
878 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
879 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
880 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
882 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
884 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
887 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
888 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
889 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
891 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
892 associated_methods. (hdp)
893 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
894 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
895 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
896 misspelled) arguments
898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
899 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
900 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
901 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
904 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
905 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
907 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
910 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
911 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
912 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
915 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
916 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
918 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
920 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
921 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
923 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
924 * Moose::Manual::Types
925 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
926 string parsing rathole (mst)
928 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
929 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
930 using plain objects instead
932 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
933 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
936 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
938 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
939 three times today (perigrin)
940 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
941 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
943 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
944 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
945 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
946 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
949 - A role's required methods are now represented by
950 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
951 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
952 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
953 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
954 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
957 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
958 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
959 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
960 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
963 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
965 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
968 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
970 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
973 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
974 during global destruction. This method has been made more
975 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
979 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
980 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
983 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
984 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
986 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
987 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
988 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
991 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
993 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
994 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
997 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1001 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1002 methods during global destruction (doy)
1004 * Moose::Meta::Class
1005 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1006 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1007 consumption (Sartak)
1009 * Moose::Meta::Class
1010 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1011 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1014 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1015 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1018 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1019 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1021 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1023 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1027 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1028 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1029 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1032 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1033 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1034 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1037 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1039 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1040 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1041 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1044 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1045 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1046 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1047 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1049 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1050 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1051 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1054 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1057 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1058 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1059 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1063 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1064 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1066 * Moose::Meta::Class
1067 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1069 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1071 * Moose::Meta::Class
1072 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1073 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1076 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1077 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1080 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1081 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1084 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1087 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1089 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1090 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1093 * Moose::Meta::Class
1094 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1096 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1097 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1100 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1101 * More deprecations and renamings
1102 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1103 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1104 when an object is constructed)
1107 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1108 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1109 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1111 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1112 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1113 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1114 feature, and it works again.
1117 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1119 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1121 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1122 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1123 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1126 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1127 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1128 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1129 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1131 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1132 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1133 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1134 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1135 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1138 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1139 metaclass object. (hdp)
1141 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1142 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1143 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1144 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1145 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1146 point out this fact. (hdp)
1148 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1149 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1151 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1152 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1154 * Moose::Meta::Class
1155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1156 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1157 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1158 called during instance construction were passed the
1159 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1160 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1162 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1163 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1166 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1167 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1168 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1171 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1172 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1173 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1174 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1175 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1177 - Moose::Meta::Class
1178 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1180 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1181 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1182 when an object is constructed)
1183 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1185 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1186 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1187 when an object is constructed)
1188 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1189 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1190 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1193 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1195 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1196 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1198 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1200 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1201 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1202 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1204 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1205 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1206 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1208 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1210 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1211 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1213 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1214 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1217 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1218 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1221 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1222 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1223 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1226 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1230 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1231 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1232 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1235 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1238 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1239 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1240 with recommended workarounds.
1242 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1243 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1245 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1246 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1247 (yes, spelled like that).
1249 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1250 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1252 * Moose::Meta::Class
1253 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1254 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1256 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1258 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1259 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1260 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1261 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1262 instead. Reported by doy.
1264 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1266 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1267 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1269 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1270 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1271 message) is now deprecated.
1272 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1273 often got it wrong. For example:
1275 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1277 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1281 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1282 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1283 bite you in weird cases.
1285 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1286 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1287 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1288 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1290 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1291 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1295 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1298 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1299 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1302 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1303 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1305 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1306 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1309 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1310 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1311 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1312 - added tests for this (stevan)
1314 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1315 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1316 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1317 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1321 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1322 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1323 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1324 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1326 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1327 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1328 - added tests for this (rafl)
1330 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1331 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1332 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1333 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1337 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1338 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1341 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1342 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1343 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1345 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1347 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1348 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1350 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1351 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1352 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1353 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1354 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1356 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1357 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1358 error message did not specify the attribute name
1361 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1363 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1365 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1366 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1367 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1369 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1370 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1373 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1375 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1376 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1377 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1378 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1380 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1382 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1383 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1384 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1385 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1387 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1388 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1389 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1391 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1392 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1393 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1394 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1395 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1397 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1398 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1399 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1400 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1401 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1403 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1404 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1405 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1406 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1407 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1408 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1410 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1411 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1412 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1413 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1414 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1415 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1417 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1418 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1420 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1421 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1422 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1423 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1425 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1426 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1429 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1433 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1434 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1436 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1437 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1438 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1439 guts. (nothingmuch).
1441 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1442 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1443 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1446 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1447 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1448 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1450 * Moose::Meta::Class
1451 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1454 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1455 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1457 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1458 * Moose::Unsweetened
1459 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1462 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1463 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1464 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1465 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1466 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1467 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1469 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1470 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1471 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1472 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1473 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1474 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1475 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1476 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1477 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1478 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1480 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1482 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1483 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1485 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1486 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1487 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1488 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1490 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1491 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1492 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1493 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1494 same methods for a single role did not work
1495 right (worked just fine with multiple
1497 - added test for this (stevan)
1499 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1500 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1501 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1504 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1505 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1506 - added test for this (t0m)
1509 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1510 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1511 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1513 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1514 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1515 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1516 - added test for this (t0m)
1518 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1519 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1520 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1521 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1522 - added test for this (perigrin)
1525 - create method for constructing a role
1526 dynamically (Sartak)
1527 - added test for this (Sartak)
1528 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1529 - added test for this (Sartak)
1532 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1534 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1535 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1536 methods is useful (Sartak)
1538 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1539 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1540 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1543 * Moose::Meta::Class
1544 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1545 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1546 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1547 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1548 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1549 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1552 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1553 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1555 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1556 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1557 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1558 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1559 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1561 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1563 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1564 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1565 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1568 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1569 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1570 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1571 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1572 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1573 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1576 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1577 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1578 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1579 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1580 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1581 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1582 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1583 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1584 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1585 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1586 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1588 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1589 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1592 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1593 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1594 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1595 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1596 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1598 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1600 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1601 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1602 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1605 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1607 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1608 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1609 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1610 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1613 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1614 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1616 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1618 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1619 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1621 * Moose::Meta::Class
1622 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1623 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1624 a required attribute
1626 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1627 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1628 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1629 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1631 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1632 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1634 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1635 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1636 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1637 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1638 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1639 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1640 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1641 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1643 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1644 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1645 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1647 * Roles and role application
1648 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1649 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1650 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1651 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1652 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1654 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1655 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1658 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1659 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1660 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1661 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1662 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1665 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1666 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1667 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1668 changes in the Moose internals.
1670 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1671 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1672 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1675 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1676 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1677 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1678 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1680 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1681 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1682 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1683 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1685 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1686 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1687 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1688 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1689 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1690 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1691 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1692 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1693 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1694 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1695 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1696 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1697 constraint implementations.
1699 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1703 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1704 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1705 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1706 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1707 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1708 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1709 - added tests for this (rafl)
1711 * Moose::Meta::Class
1712 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1713 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1714 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1715 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1716 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1717 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1718 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1719 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1722 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1723 - added tests for this (thepler)
1725 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1726 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1727 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1728 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1731 * Moose::Meta::Class
1732 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1733 * Moose::Meta::Method
1736 * Moose::Error::Default
1737 * Moose::Error::Croak
1738 * Moose::Error::Confess
1739 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1740 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1741 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1742 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1743 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1744 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1746 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1748 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1749 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1751 * Moose::Unsweetened
1752 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1753 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1754 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1756 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1757 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1758 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1759 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1760 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1763 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1764 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1766 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1767 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1768 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1769 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1772 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1774 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1775 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1777 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1780 - Various bug fixes.
1782 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1783 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1785 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1787 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1788 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1789 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1790 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1791 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1792 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1794 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1795 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1796 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1798 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1799 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1800 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1803 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1804 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1805 dependency to 0.64_07.
1807 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1808 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1809 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1811 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1812 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1815 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1816 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1817 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1818 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1819 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1820 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1822 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1823 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1825 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1827 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1828 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1832 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1833 method when that method was provided by another role being
1834 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1835 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1837 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1839 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1840 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1842 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1843 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1844 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1845 - added test for this (t0m)
1847 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1848 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1849 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1851 - added test for this (t0m)
1854 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1855 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1856 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1859 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1860 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1862 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1864 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1865 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1867 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1868 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1869 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1871 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1872 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1875 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1876 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1877 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1878 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1882 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1883 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1884 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1887 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1888 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1889 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1890 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1893 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1897 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1898 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1899 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1901 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1902 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1903 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1904 created so that the process can be more easily
1905 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1907 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1908 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1909 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1910 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1912 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1913 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1916 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1917 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1919 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1920 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1921 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1923 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1924 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1925 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1927 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1928 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1930 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1931 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1934 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1935 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1939 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1940 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1942 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1943 ... this is not my day today ...
1945 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1946 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1947 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1948 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1949 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1952 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1953 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1954 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1955 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1956 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1959 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1961 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1962 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1963 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1964 this is not ever something you want to do
1965 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1966 - added tests for this (stevan)
1969 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1971 - added test for this
1973 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1974 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1975 - added tests for this (wreis)
1977 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1978 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1979 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1980 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1982 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1983 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1984 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1987 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1989 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1991 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1994 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1995 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1996 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1997 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1998 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1999 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2000 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2001 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2002 - added tests for this
2004 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2005 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2006 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2007 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2009 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2012 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2013 - added tests for this (sartak)
2014 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2015 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2018 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2020 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2021 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2023 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2024 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2025 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2026 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2028 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2030 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2031 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2034 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2035 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2036 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2038 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2115 XS based functionality is now optional
2116 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2117 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2118 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2192 ->body when looping through the
2193 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2195 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2196 eating the $@ values, and so not
2197 working correctly, it still kind of
2198 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2199 - added tests for this

2221 drink more coffee before
2222 doing release engineering
2224 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2339 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2341 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2342 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2675 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2678 - fixed how required methods are handled
2679 when they encounter overriden or modified
2680 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2681 - added tests for this
2683 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2684 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2685 the | always creates a union and so is
2686 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2687 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2689 - added more tests for this
2691 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2694 * Parameterized Types
2695 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2696 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2697 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2698 They can also be nested:
2699 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2700 And work with the type unions as well:
2701 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2703 * Better Framework Extendability
2704 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2705 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2706 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2707 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2710 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2711 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2712 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2713 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2716 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2718 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2719 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2722 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
2723 set it to inline the accessors

2885 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2888 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2889 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2890 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2891 - added tests for this
2893 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2895 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2938 functions to facilitate introspection.
2940 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2947 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2948 so that you can actually document your
2949 attributes and inspect them through the

2953 * Moose::Meta::Class
2954 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2955 it will first look in for the class in the
2956 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2957 then default to just loading $name.
2958 - added tests and docs for this
2960 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2961 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2962 - added test for this
2965 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2966 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2967 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2968 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2970 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2971 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2974 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2976 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2977 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2978 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2981 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2982 !! for this developer release to work !!
2984 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2985 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2986 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2987 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2988 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2989 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2990 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2991 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2992 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2993 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2994 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2996 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2997 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2998 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2999 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3002 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3003 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3004 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3005 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3006 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3008 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3010 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3011 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3014 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3015 called unless they actually need to be.
3016 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3017 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3018 DEMOLISH method present.
3020 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3022 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3023 type constraint, which allows for a
3024 hand optimized version of the type
3025 constraint to be used when possible.
3026 - Any internally created type constraints
3027 now provide an optimized version as well.
3029 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3031 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3032 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3033 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3035 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3036 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3037 your class namespace of these exported
3040 * Moose::Meta::Class
3041 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3042 comes up during global destruction
3044 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3048 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3051 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3052 - changed how we do type checks so that
3053 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3056 - moved accessor generation methods to
3057 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3058 conform to the API changes from
3061 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3062 - changed how constraints are compiled
3063 so that we do less recursion and more
3064 iteration. This makes the type check
3066 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3069 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3070 - created this from methods formerly found in
3071 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3073 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3074 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3076 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3077 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3079 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3080 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3082 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3084 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3085 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3086 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3087 - added tests for this
3088 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3089 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3090 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3091 - removed tests for this
3093 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3095 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3096 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3097 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3100 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3101 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3102 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3104 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3105 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3106 comments for more info.
3109 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3110 asked questions and common problems
3112 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3113 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3114 - added tests for this
3116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3117 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3118 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3119 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3121 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3122 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3125 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3126 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3127 is much appreciated :)
3128 - added tests for this
3130 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3131 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3132 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3135 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3136 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3138 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3140 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3141 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3145 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3146 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3147 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3149 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3151 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3154 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive

3156 keywords because we need to localize them.
3157 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3159 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3160 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3161 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3164 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3168 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3169 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3172 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3173 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3174 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3176 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3178 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3179 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3180 bottom of your class file.
3183 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3186 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3188 - improved error message when loading modules so
3189 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3190 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3191 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3194 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3195 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3196 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3199 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3201 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3202 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3203 turn them on for you.
3204 - added tests for this

3233 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3234 - This release works in combination with
3235 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3236 release because it uses the a new
3237 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3238 complete Role implementation. It has
3239 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3240 the the previous CPAN version. This
3241 release also lacks good updated docs,
3242 the official release will have updated docs.
3245 - refactored the keyword exports
3246 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3247 accepts more than one Role at a time

3263 - more careful checking of params to new()
3266 - much work done on the role composition
3267 - many new tests for conflict detection
3268 and composition edge cases
3269 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3270 looking at the tests

3295 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3296 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3297 on a per-attribute basis
3298 - added tests for this
3299 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3300 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
