1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
9 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
10 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
15 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
17 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
21 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
22 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
23 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
27 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
28 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
30 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
31 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
33 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
34 environments. (doy, mateu)
36 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
40 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
41 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
42 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
43 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
47 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
48 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
50 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
54 * Update conflicts list.
57 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
61 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
62 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
63 details. (Dave Rolsky)
65 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
66 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
67 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
68 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
69 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
73 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
74 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
75 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
76 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
77 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
80 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
84 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
85 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
87 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
90 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
94 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
95 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
96 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
97 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
99 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
100 immutable classes). (mo)
102 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
103 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
104 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
106 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
110 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
112 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
114 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
118 * Fix some indexing issues.
120 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
122 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
126 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
127 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
128 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
129 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
130 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
132 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
133 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
138 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
139 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
140 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
141 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
143 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
144 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
145 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
149 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
150 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
153 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
157 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
158 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
162 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
166 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
167 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
168 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
169 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
172 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
176 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
179 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
183 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
184 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
185 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
188 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
192 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
193 policy. (Chris Prather)
195 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
196 on this new support policy. (doy)
200 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
201 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
202 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
204 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
205 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
207 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
211 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
212 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
213 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
214 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
217 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
221 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
222 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
225 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
229 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
230 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
232 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
233 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
237 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
238 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
239 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
240 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
241 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
242 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
244 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
245 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
247 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
248 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
249 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
250 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
252 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
253 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
255 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
260 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
261 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
263 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
267 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
268 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
269 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
271 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
275 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
276 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
277 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
279 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
280 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
283 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
284 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
287 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
288 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
289 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
291 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
292 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
297 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
298 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
299 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
300 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
302 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
303 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
305 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
306 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
308 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
309 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
310 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
311 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
313 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
314 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
315 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
318 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
319 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
320 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
321 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
323 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
324 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
327 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
328 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
329 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
331 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
335 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
336 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
337 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
339 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
340 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
341 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
344 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
345 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
346 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
348 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
349 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
350 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
352 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
353 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
357 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
358 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
359 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
361 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
362 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
363 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
364 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
366 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
370 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
371 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
372 value is a reference.
374 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
375 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
377 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
381 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
382 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
383 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
385 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
389 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
390 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
394 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
395 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
396 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
398 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
399 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
400 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
402 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
406 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
408 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
412 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
414 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
415 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
420 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
421 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
423 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
424 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
425 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
426 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
427 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
429 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
430 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
431 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
432 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
434 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
438 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
439 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
444 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
446 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
448 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
453 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
455 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
459 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
460 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
461 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
463 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
464 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
465 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
466 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
468 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
469 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
470 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
471 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
472 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
475 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
480 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
481 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
482 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
483 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
484 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
487 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
491 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
494 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
495 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
499 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
500 function (not just method). (doy)
504 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
505 and aren't easily installable/testable.
507 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
511 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
512 to be overridden more easily (doy).
514 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
518 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
519 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
521 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
525 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
526 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
527 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
529 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
533 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
534 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
535 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
537 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
538 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
542 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
543 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
545 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
546 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
550 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
551 is applied to a class (t0m).
553 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
554 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
556 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
559 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
560 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
562 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
563 be much more robust. (doy)
565 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
567 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
570 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
574 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
575 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
577 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
581 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
582 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
584 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
587 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
588 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
589 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
591 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
592 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
593 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
596 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
598 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
602 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
603 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
607 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
609 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
613 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
614 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
618 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
619 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
623 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
625 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
629 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
630 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
634 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
635 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
639 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
640 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
642 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
646 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
647 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
648 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
651 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
655 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
656 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
657 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
658 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
660 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
664 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
665 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
666 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
670 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
673 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
677 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
678 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
679 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
683 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
684 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
686 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
687 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
688 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
689 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
691 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
695 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
699 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
700 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
702 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
703 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
704 - Moose::Util::does_role
705 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
706 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
707 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
709 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
713 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
714 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
715 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
718 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
722 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
723 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
726 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
730 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
731 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
734 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
738 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
740 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
741 class. (Dave Rolsky).
743 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
744 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
745 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
747 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
748 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
749 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
752 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
753 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
755 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
756 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
757 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
759 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
761 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
762 substr et al, again. (sorear)
764 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
766 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
769 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
770 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
772 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
773 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
775 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
776 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
777 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
778 dependencies installed.
780 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
781 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
784 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
786 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
790 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
792 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
793 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
794 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
796 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
797 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
798 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
800 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
801 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
804 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
805 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
806 others. (nothingmuch)
808 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
809 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
810 remove_accessors. (doy)
812 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
813 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
814 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
817 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
819 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
820 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
821 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
822 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
825 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
826 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
828 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
829 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
831 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
833 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
834 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
837 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
838 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
839 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
840 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
841 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
843 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
845 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
846 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
847 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
848 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
849 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
852 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
853 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
854 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
855 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
856 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
858 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
859 which were not receiving the value of
860 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
861 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
862 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
863 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
867 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
868 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
869 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
870 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
871 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
874 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
875 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
876 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
877 - added tests for this (Stevan)
880 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
881 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
882 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
885 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
886 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
887 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
889 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
890 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
891 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
894 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
895 class if you pass it options for
896 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
897 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
898 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
899 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
900 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
901 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
902 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
903 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
904 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
906 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
907 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
908 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
909 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
910 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
913 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
914 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
915 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
916 existing delegation API. (hdp)
918 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
919 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
920 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
921 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
922 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
923 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
926 * Moose::Error::Croak
927 * Moose::Error::Confess
928 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
929 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
932 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
935 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
936 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
937 installing a broken sub. (doy)
940 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
943 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
944 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
945 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
947 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
948 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
949 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
950 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
951 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
953 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
954 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
957 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
959 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
960 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
963 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
964 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
966 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
967 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
968 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
969 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
971 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
972 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
973 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
974 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
975 using it for new code!
977 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
978 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
979 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
980 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
982 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
983 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
984 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
985 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
986 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
987 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
988 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
989 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
992 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
995 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
996 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
999 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1000 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1002 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1003 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1004 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1006 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1007 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1008 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1009 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1011 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1012 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1013 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1015 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1016 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1017 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1020 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1021 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1022 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1023 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1024 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1025 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1027 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1029 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1032 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1033 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1034 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1036 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1037 associated_methods. (hdp)
1038 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1039 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1040 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1041 misspelled) arguments
1043 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1044 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1045 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1046 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1048 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1049 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1050 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1052 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1056 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1057 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1060 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1061 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1063 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1064 * Moose::Meta::Class
1065 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1066 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1068 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1069 * Moose::Manual::Types
1070 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1071 string parsing rathole (mst)
1073 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1074 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1075 using plain objects instead
1077 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1078 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1079 that's what we need.
1081 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1082 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1083 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1084 three times today (perigrin)
1085 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1086 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1088 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1089 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1090 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1091 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1094 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1095 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1096 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1097 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1098 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1099 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1102 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1103 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1104 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1105 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1108 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1110 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1113 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1115 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1118 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1119 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1120 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1124 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1125 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1128 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1129 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1131 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1132 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1133 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1135 * Moose::Unsweetened
1136 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1138 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1139 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1142 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1146 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1147 methods during global destruction (doy)
1149 * Moose::Meta::Class
1150 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1151 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1152 consumption (Sartak)
1154 * Moose::Meta::Class
1155 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1156 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1159 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1160 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1163 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1164 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1166 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1168 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1172 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1173 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1174 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1177 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1178 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1179 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1182 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1184 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1185 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1186 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1189 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1190 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1191 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1192 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1194 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1195 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1196 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1199 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1202 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1203 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1204 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1208 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1209 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1211 * Moose::Meta::Class
1212 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1214 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1216 * Moose::Meta::Class
1217 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1218 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1221 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1222 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1225 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1226 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1229 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1232 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1235 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1238 * Moose::Meta::Class
1239 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1241 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1242 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1245 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1246 * More deprecations and renamings
1247 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1248 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1249 when an object is constructed)
1252 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1253 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1254 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1256 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1257 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1258 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1259 feature, and it works again.
1262 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1264 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1266 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1267 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1268 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1270 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1271 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1272 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1273 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1274 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1276 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1277 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1278 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1279 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1280 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1283 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1284 metaclass object. (hdp)
1286 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1287 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1288 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1289 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1290 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1291 point out this fact. (hdp)
1293 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1294 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1296 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1297 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1299 * Moose::Meta::Class
1300 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1301 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1302 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1303 called during instance construction were passed the
1304 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1305 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1307 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1308 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1311 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1312 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1313 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1316 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1317 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1318 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1319 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1320 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1322 - Moose::Meta::Class
1323 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1325 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1326 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1327 when an object is constructed)
1328 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1330 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1331 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1332 when an object is constructed)
1333 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1334 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1335 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1338 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1340 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1341 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1343 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1345 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1346 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1347 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1349 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1350 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1351 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1353 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1355 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1356 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1358 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1359 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1362 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1363 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1366 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1367 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1368 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1370 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1371 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1375 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1376 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1377 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1379 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1380 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1383 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1384 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1385 with recommended workarounds.
1387 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1388 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1390 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1391 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1392 (yes, spelled like that).
1394 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1395 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1397 * Moose::Meta::Class
1398 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1399 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1401 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1403 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1404 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1405 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1406 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1407 instead. Reported by doy.
1409 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1411 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1412 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1414 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1415 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1416 message) is now deprecated.
1417 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1418 often got it wrong. For example:
1420 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1422 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1426 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1427 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1428 bite you in weird cases.
1430 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1431 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1432 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1433 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1435 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1436 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1440 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1443 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1444 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1447 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1448 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1450 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1451 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1454 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1456 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1457 - added tests for this (stevan)
1459 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1460 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1461 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1462 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1466 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1467 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1468 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1469 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1471 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1472 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1473 - added tests for this (rafl)
1475 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1476 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1477 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1478 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1482 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1483 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1486 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1487 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1488 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1490 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1492 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1493 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1495 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1496 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1497 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1498 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1499 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1501 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1502 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1503 error message did not specify the attribute name
1506 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1508 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1510 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1511 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1512 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1514 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1515 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1518 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1520 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1521 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1522 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1523 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1525 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1527 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1528 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1529 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1530 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1532 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1533 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1534 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1536 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1537 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1538 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1539 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1540 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1542 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1543 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1544 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1545 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1546 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1548 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1549 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1550 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1551 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1552 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1553 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1555 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1556 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1557 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1558 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1559 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1560 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1562 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1563 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1565 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1566 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1567 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1568 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1570 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1571 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1574 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1578 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1579 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1581 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1582 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1583 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1584 guts. (nothingmuch).
1586 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1587 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1588 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1590 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1591 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1592 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1593 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1595 * Moose::Meta::Class
1596 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1599 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1600 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1602 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1603 * Moose::Unsweetened
1604 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1607 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1608 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1609 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1610 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1611 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1612 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1614 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1615 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1616 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1617 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1618 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1619 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1620 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1621 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1622 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1623 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1625 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1627 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1628 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1630 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1631 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1632 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1633 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1635 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1636 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1637 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1638 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1639 same methods for a single role did not work
1640 right (worked just fine with multiple
1642 - added test for this (stevan)
1644 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1645 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1646 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1649 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1650 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1651 - added test for this (t0m)
1654 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1655 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1656 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1658 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1659 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1660 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1661 - added test for this (t0m)
1663 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1664 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1665 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1666 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1667 - added test for this (perigrin)
1670 - create method for constructing a role
1671 dynamically (Sartak)
1672 - added test for this (Sartak)
1673 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1674 - added test for this (Sartak)
1677 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1679 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1680 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1681 methods is useful (Sartak)
1683 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1684 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1685 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1688 * Moose::Meta::Class
1689 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1690 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1691 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1692 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1693 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1694 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1697 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1698 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1700 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1701 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1702 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1703 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1704 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1706 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1708 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1709 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1710 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1713 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1714 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1715 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1716 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1717 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1718 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1722 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1723 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1724 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1725 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1726 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1727 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1728 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1729 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1730 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1731 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1733 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1734 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1737 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1738 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1739 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1740 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1741 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1743 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1745 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1746 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1747 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1749 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1750 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1752 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1753 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1754 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1755 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1758 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1759 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1761 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1763 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1764 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1766 * Moose::Meta::Class
1767 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1768 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1769 a required attribute
1771 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1772 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1773 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1774 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1776 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1777 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1779 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1780 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1781 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1782 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1783 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1784 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1785 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1786 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1788 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1789 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1790 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1792 * Roles and role application
1793 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1794 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1795 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1796 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1797 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1799 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1800 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1803 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1804 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1805 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1806 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1807 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1810 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1811 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1812 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1813 changes in the Moose internals.
1815 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1817 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1820 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1821 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1822 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1823 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1825 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1826 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1827 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1828 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1830 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1831 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1832 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1833 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1834 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1835 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1836 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1837 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1838 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1839 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1840 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1841 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1842 constraint implementations.
1844 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1848 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1849 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1850 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1851 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1852 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1853 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1854 - added tests for this (rafl)
1856 * Moose::Meta::Class
1857 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1858 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1859 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1860 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1861 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1862 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1863 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1864 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1867 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1868 - added tests for this (thepler)
1870 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1871 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1872 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1873 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1876 * Moose::Meta::Class
1877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1878 * Moose::Meta::Method
1881 * Moose::Error::Default
1882 * Moose::Error::Croak
1883 * Moose::Error::Confess
1884 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1885 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1886 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1887 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1888 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1889 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1891 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1893 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1894 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1896 * Moose::Unsweetened
1897 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1898 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1899 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1901 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1902 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1903 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1904 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1905 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1908 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1909 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1911 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1912 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1913 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1914 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1917 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1919 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1920 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1922 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1925 - Various bug fixes.
1927 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1928 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1930 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1932 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1933 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1934 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1935 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1936 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1937 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1939 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1940 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1941 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1943 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1944 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1945 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1948 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1949 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1950 dependency to 0.64_07.
1952 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1953 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1954 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1956 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1957 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1960 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1961 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1962 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1963 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1964 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1965 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1967 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1968 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1970 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1972 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1973 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1977 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1978 method when that method was provided by another role being
1979 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1980 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1982 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1984 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1985 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1987 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1988 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1989 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1990 - added test for this (t0m)
1992 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1993 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1994 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1996 - added test for this (t0m)
1999 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2000 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2001 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2004 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2005 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2007 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2009 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2010 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2012 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2013 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2014 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2016 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2017 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2020 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2021 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2022 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2023 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2027 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2028 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2029 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2032 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2033 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2034 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2035 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2038 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2042 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2043 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2044 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2046 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2047 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2048 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2049 created so that the process can be more easily
2050 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2052 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2085 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2087 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2088 ... this is not my day today ...
2090 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2091 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2092 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2093 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2094 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2097 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2098 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2099 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2100 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2101 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2104 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2106 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2107 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2108 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2109 this is not ever something you want to do

2136 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2139 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2140 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2141 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2142 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2143 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2144 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2145 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2146 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2147 - added tests for this
2149 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2150 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2257 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2259 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2260 XS based functionality is now optional
2261 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2262 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2263 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2745 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2746 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2747 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2748 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2749 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2750 - added tests for this.
2751 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2752 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2753 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2754 - added tests for this
2755 - added docs for this
2757 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2758 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2759 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2760 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2761 instead it will just return undef.
2762 - added docs for this
2764 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
2765 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2766 -builder related bug in inlined constructor. (groditi)
2768 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2769 - genereate unnecessary calls to predicates and refactor
2770 code generation for runtime speed (groditi)
2772 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2773 - fix ClassName constraint to introspect symbol table (mst)
2774 - added more tests for this (mst)
2775 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
2776 with work correctly.
2777 - added tests for this
2780 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2781 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2784 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2785 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2786 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2788 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2789 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2790 - Fix error message on missing builder method (groditi)
2792 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2793 - Fix error message on missing builder method (groditi)
2796 - Add test to check for the correct error message when
2797 builder method is missing (groditi)
2799 0.28 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2800 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2802 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2803 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2804 - Added support for the new builder option (groditi)
2805 - Added support for lazy_build option (groditi)
2806 - Changed slot initialization for predicate changes (groditi)

2809 - Added support for lazy_build option (groditi)
2810 - Fix inline methods to work with corrected predicate
2813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2814 - Added support for lazy_build option (groditi)
2817 - tests for builder and lazy_build (groditi)
2819 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2820 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2823 - fixed how required methods are handled
2824 when they encounter overriden or modified
2825 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2826 - added tests for this
2828 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2829 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2830 the | always creates a union and so is
2831 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2832 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2834 - added more tests for this
2836 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2839 * Parameterized Types
2840 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2841 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2842 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2843 They can also be nested:
2844 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2845 And work with the type unions as well:
2846 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2848 * Better Framework Extendability
2849 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2850 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2851 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2852 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2855 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2856 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2857 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2858 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2861 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2863 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2864 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2867 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2894 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2895 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2897 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2898 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2899 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2900 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2902 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2903 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2904 - updated the accompanying test as well
2906 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2907 +++ with new features added as well +++
2909 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2910 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2911 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2912 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2913 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2915 - added tests for this
2917 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2918 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2919 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2920 can track where the type constraints are created
2922 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2923 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2924 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2926 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2927 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2928 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2929 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2942 under 'isa' in 'has' for how to define a new type
2943 (thanks to shlomif).
2945 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2946 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2947 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2948 - added tests for this
2949 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2951 - added tests for this
2953 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2954 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2955 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

2985 - added tests for these
2987 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2988 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2990 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2991 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2992 to the 'handles' option.
2993 - added tests and docs for this

2995 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
2996 (but not changing the handles option)
2997 - added tests and docs for this
3000 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3001 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3002 - adjusted tests for this
3004 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3005 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3006 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3012 the other side (perigrin)
3014 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3015 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3016 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3017 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3018 prototypes for functions
3019 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3020 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3021 - added tests and docs for this

3028 merlyn for finding this bug
3029 - tests added for this
3030 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3033 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3034 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3035 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3036 - added tests for this
3038 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3040 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3053 where not handled correctly in roles
3054 - added tests for this
3056 * Moose::Meta::Class
3057 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3058 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3059 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3061 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3062 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3064 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3065 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3066 so this release is just to fix that.
3069 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3070 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3071 (thanks to konobi for this)
3072 - added tests and docs
3074 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3075 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3078 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3079 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3080 - added tests for this
3081 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3082 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3083 functions to facilitate introspection.
3085 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3086 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3087 to build the list of delegated methods
3088 correctly (and not override important
3089 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3091 - added tests and docs for this
3092 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3093 so that you can actually document your
3094 attributes and inspect them through the
3096 - added tests and docs for this
3098 * Moose::Meta::Class
3099 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3100 it will first look in for the class in the
3101 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3102 then default to just loading $name.
3103 - added tests and docs for this
3105 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3106 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3107 - added test for this
3110 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3111 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3112 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3113 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3115 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3116 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3119 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3121 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3122 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3123 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3126 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3127 !! for this developer release to work !!
3129 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3130 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3131 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3132 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3133 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3134 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3135 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3136 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3137 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3138 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3139 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3141 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3142 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3143 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3144 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3147 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3148 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3149 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3150 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3151 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3153 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3155 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3156 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3159 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3160 called unless they actually need to be.
3161 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3162 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3163 DEMOLISH method present.
3165 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3166 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3167 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3168 type constraint, which allows for a
3169 hand optimized version of the type
3170 constraint to be used when possible.
3171 - Any internally created type constraints
3172 now provide an optimized version as well.
3174 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3176 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3177 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3178 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3180 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3181 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3182 your class namespace of these exported
3185 * Moose::Meta::Class
3186 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3187 comes up during global destruction
3189 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3193 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3197 - changed how we do type checks so that
3198 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3201 - moved accessor generation methods to
3202 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3203 conform to the API changes from
3206 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3207 - changed how constraints are compiled
3208 so that we do less recursion and more
3209 iteration. This makes the type check
3211 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3215 - created this from methods formerly found in
3216 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3218 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3219 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3221 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3222 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3224 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3225 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3227 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3229 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3230 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3231 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3232 - added tests for this
3233 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3234 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3235 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3236 - removed tests for this
3238 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3240 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3241 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3242 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3245 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3246 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3247 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3249 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3250 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3251 comments for more info.
3254 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3255 asked questions and common problems
3257 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3258 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3259 - added tests for this
3261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3262 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3263 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3264 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3266 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3267 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3270 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3271 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3272 is much appreciated :)
3273 - added tests for this
3275 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3276 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3277 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3280 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3281 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3283 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3285 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3286 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3290 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3291 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3292 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3294 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3296 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3299 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3300 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3301 keywords because we need to localize them.
3302 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3304 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3305 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3306 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3309 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3312 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3313 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3314 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3317 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3318 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3319 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3321 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3323 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3324 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3325 bottom of your class file.
3328 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3331 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3333 - improved error message when loading modules so
3334 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3335 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3336 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3339 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3340 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3341 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3343 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3344 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3346 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3347 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3348 turn them on for you.
3349 - added tests for this
3350 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3351 in Moose::Meta::Class
3354 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3355 automatically turned on for you.
3356 - added tests for this
3359 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3360 - added tests for this
3361 - added some more edge case tests
3363 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
3364 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3366 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3370 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3373 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3374 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3377 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3378 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3379 - This release works in combination with
3380 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3381 release because it uses the a new
3382 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3383 complete Role implementation. It has
3384 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3385 the the previous CPAN version. This
3386 release also lacks good updated docs,
3387 the official release will have updated docs.
3390 - refactored the keyword exports
3391 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3392 accepts more than one Role at a time
3393 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3394 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3397 - refactored the keyword exports
3398 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3399 accepts more than one Role at a time
3401 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3402 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3403 string enumerations which can be used as
3405 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3408 - more careful checking of params to new()
3411 - much work done on the role composition
3412 - many new tests for conflict detection
3413 and composition edge cases
3414 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3415 looking at the tests
3417 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3418 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3419 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3421 * Moose::Meta::Class
3422 - some small changes to support the new
3424 - some small additions to support Roles
3426 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3427 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3429 - some small changes to support the new
3431 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3432 with the 'handles' option
3433 - added several tests for this
3434 - no docs for this yet
3436 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3438 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3439 thanks to chansen for this commit
3440 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3441 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3442 on a per-attribute basis
3443 - added tests for this
3444 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3445 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3446 experimental feature and probably not finished
