1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether or not
7 we are currently in global destruction (doy)
10 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to modern
11 Moose hackers (Sartak)
13 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
14 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
15 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
18 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
19 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
20 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
21 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
23 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
24 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
25 of the Moose core (Sartak)
28 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
31 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
32 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
33 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
37 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
38 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
41 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
43 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
46 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
47 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
50 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
51 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
54 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
55 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
58 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
61 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
63 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
64 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
68 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
70 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
71 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
74 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
75 * More deprecations and renamings
76 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
77 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
78 when an object is constructed)
81 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
82 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
83 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
85 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
86 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
87 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
88 feature, and it works again.
91 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
93 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
95 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
96 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
97 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
99 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
100 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
101 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
102 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
103 message. Test provided by perigrin.
105 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
106 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
107 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
108 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
109 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
112 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
113 metaclass object. (hdp)
115 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
116 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
117 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
118 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
119 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
120 point out this fact. (hdp)
122 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
123 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
125 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
126 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
129 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
130 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
131 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
132 called during instance construction were passed the
133 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
134 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
136 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
137 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
140 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
141 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
142 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
145 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
146 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
147 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
148 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
149 them, but they are not for "public" use.
152 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
154 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
155 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
156 when an object is constructed)
157 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
159 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
160 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
161 when an object is constructed)
162 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
163 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
164 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
167 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
169 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
170 * No changes from 0.72_01.
172 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
174 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
175 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
176 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
178 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
179 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
180 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
182 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
184 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
185 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
187 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
188 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
191 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
192 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
195 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
196 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
197 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
199 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
200 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
204 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
205 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
206 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
208 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
209 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
212 * Moose::Manual::Delta
213 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
214 with recommended workarounds.
216 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
217 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
219 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
220 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
221 (yes, spelled like that).
223 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
224 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
227 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
228 changes in latest Class::MOP.
230 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
232 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
233 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
234 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
235 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
236 instead. Reported by doy.
238 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
240 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
241 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
243 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
244 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
245 message) is now deprecated.
246 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
247 often got it wrong. For example:
249 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
251 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
255 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
256 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
257 bite you in weird cases.
259 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
260 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
261 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
264 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
265 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
269 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
272 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
273 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
276 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
277 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
280 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
283 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
285 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
286 - added tests for this (stevan)
288 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
289 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
290 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
291 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
295 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
296 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
297 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
298 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
300 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
301 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
302 - added tests for this (rafl)
304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
305 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
306 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
307 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
311 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
312 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
315 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
316 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
317 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
319 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
321 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
322 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
325 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
326 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
327 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
328 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
331 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
332 error message did not specify the attribute name
335 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
337 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
339 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
340 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
341 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
343 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
344 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
347 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
349 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
350 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
351 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
352 of fixes and formatting improvements.
354 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
356 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
357 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
358 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
359 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
361 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
362 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
363 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
365 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
366 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
367 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
368 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
369 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
372 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
373 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
374 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
375 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
377 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
378 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
379 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
380 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
381 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
382 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
384 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
385 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
386 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
387 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
388 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
389 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
391 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
392 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
394 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
395 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
396 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
397 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
399 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
400 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
403 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
407 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
408 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
410 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
411 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
412 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
415 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
417 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
420 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
421 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
422 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
425 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
428 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
429 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
431 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
433 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
436 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
437 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
438 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
439 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
440 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
441 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
443 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
444 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
445 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
446 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
447 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
448 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
449 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
450 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
451 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
452 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
454 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
456 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
457 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
459 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
460 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
461 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
462 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
464 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
465 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
466 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
467 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
468 same methods for a single role did not work
469 right (worked just fine with multiple
471 - added test for this (stevan)
473 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
474 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
475 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
478 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
479 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
480 - added test for this (t0m)
483 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
484 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
485 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
487 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
488 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
489 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
490 - added test for this (t0m)
492 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
493 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
494 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
495 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
496 - added test for this (perigrin)
499 - create method for constructing a role
501 - added test for this (Sartak)
502 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
503 - added test for this (Sartak)
506 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
508 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
509 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
510 methods is useful (Sartak)
512 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
513 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
514 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
518 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
519 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
520 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
521 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
522 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
523 - added tests for this (jdv79)
526 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
527 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
529 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
530 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
531 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
532 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
533 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
535 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
537 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
538 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
539 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
542 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
543 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
544 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
545 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
546 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
547 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
550 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
551 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
552 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
553 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
554 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
555 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
556 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
557 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
558 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
559 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
560 future. (jnapiorkowski)
562 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
563 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
566 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
567 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
568 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
569 type. (jnapiorkowski)
570 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
572 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
574 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
575 predicate, and link to more details sections in
576 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
578 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
579 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
581 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
582 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
583 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
584 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
587 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
588 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
590 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
592 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
593 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
596 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
597 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
600 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
601 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
602 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
603 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
605 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
606 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
608 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
609 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
610 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
611 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
612 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
613 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
614 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
615 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
617 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
618 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
619 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
621 * Roles and role application
622 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
623 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
624 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
625 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
626 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
628 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
629 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
632 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
633 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
634 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
635 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
636 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
639 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
640 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
641 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
642 changes in the Moose internals.
644 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
645 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
646 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
649 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
650 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
651 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
652 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
655 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
656 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
657 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
659 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
660 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
661 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
662 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
663 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
664 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
665 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
666 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
667 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
668 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
669 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
670 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
671 constraint implementations.
673 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
677 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
678 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
679 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
680 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
681 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
682 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
683 - added tests for this (rafl)
686 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
687 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
688 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
689 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
690 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
691 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
692 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
693 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
696 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
697 - added tests for this (thepler)
699 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
700 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
701 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
702 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
706 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
707 * Moose::Meta::Method
710 * Moose::Error::Default
711 * Moose::Error::Croak
712 * Moose::Error::Confess
713 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
714 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
715 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
716 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
717 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
718 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
720 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
722 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
723 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
726 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
727 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
728 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
730 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
731 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
732 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
733 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
734 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
737 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
738 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
740 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
741 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
742 several major changes in this release of Moose.
743 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

785 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
786 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
789 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
790 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
791 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
792 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
793 coincidental exception. (t0m).
794 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
796 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
797 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
799 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
801 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
802 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"

818 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
819 - added test for this (t0m)
821 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
822 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
823 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
825 - added test for this (t0m)
828 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
829 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
830 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
833 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
834 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
836 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
838 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
841 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
842 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
843 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
845 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

864 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
867 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
871 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

886 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
887 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
890 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
891 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)

914 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
916 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
917 ... this is not my day today ...
919 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
920 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
921 clone_and_inherit options still works for
922 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
923 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
926 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
927 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
928 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
929 in this release, except the fact that it includes
930 the changes that I didn't include in the last
933 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
935 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
936 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
937 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
938 this is not ever something you want to do
939 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

965 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
968 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
969 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
970 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
971 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
972 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
973 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
974 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
975 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
976 - added tests for this
978 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
979 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
980 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1086 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1088 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1089 XS based functionality is now optional
1090 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1091 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1092 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1094 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1095 to take care of this, mostly we added
1096 support for the package_name and name
1097 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1098 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1099 support regexp matching of names
1100 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1101 - tests added for this
1102 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1103 is currently not supported in roles,
1104 but, ... patches welcome

1195 drink more coffee before
1196 doing release engineering
1198 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1199 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1200 modules. This fixes that.

1313 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1315 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1522 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1523 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

1563 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
1564 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
1567 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1568 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1569 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1570 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

1586 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1587 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

1606 - added tests for this
1609 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1610 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1652 - fixed how required methods are handled
1653 when they encounter overriden or modified
1654 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1655 - added tests for this
1657 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1658 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1659 the | always creates a union and so is
1660 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1661 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1663 - added more tests for this
1665 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1668 * Parameterized Types
1669 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1670 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1671 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1672 They can also be nested:
1673 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1674 And work with the type unions as well:
1675 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1677 * Better Framework Extendability
1678 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1679 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1680 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1681 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1684 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1685 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1686 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1687 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1690 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1692 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1693 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

1846 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1847 prototypes for functions
1848 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1849 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1921 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1922 so that you can actually document your
1923 attributes and inspect them through the

1927 * Moose::Meta::Class
1928 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1929 it will first look in for the class in the
1930 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1931 then default to just loading $name.
1932 - added tests and docs for this
1934 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1935 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1936 - added test for this
1939 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

1941 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1942 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1944 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1945 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1948 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1950 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1951 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1952 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1955 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1956 !! for this developer release to work !!
1958 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1959 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1960 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1961 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1962 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1963 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1964 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1965 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1966 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1967 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1968 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1970 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1971 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1972 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1973 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1976 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1977 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1978 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1979 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1980 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1982 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1984 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1985 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1988 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1989 called unless they actually need to be.
1990 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1991 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1992 DEMOLISH method present.
1994 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1995 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1996 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1997 type constraint, which allows for a
1998 hand optimized version of the type
1999 constraint to be used when possible.
2000 - Any internally created type constraints
2001 now provide an optimized version as well.
2003 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2005 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2006 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2007 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2009 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2010 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2011 your class namespace of these exported
2014 * Moose::Meta::Class
2015 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2016 comes up during global destruction

2027 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2030 - moved accessor generation methods to
2031 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2032 conform to the API changes from
2035 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2036 - changed how constraints are compiled
2037 so that we do less recursion and more
2038 iteration. This makes the type check
2040 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2043 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2044 - created this from methods formerly found in
2045 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2047 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2048 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2050 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2051 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

2059 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2060 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2061 - added tests for this
2062 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2063 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2064 broke predicates in an ugly way.

2067 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2069 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2070 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2071 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2074 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2075 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2076 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2078 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2079 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2080 comments for more info.
2083 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2084 asked questions and common problems
2086 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2087 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2088 - added tests for this
2090 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2091 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2092 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2093 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2095 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2096 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2099 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2100 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2101 is much appreciated :)
2102 - added tests for this
2104 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2105 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2106 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2109 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2110 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2112 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2114 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2115 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2119 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2120 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2121 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2123 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2125 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2128 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2129 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2130 keywords because we need to localize them.
2131 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2133 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2134 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2135 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2138 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2141 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2142 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2143 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2146 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2147 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2148 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2150 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2152 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2153 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2154 bottom of your class file.
2157 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2160 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2162 - improved error message when loading modules so
2163 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2164 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2165 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2168 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2169 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2170 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2173 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2175 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2176 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2177 turn them on for you.
2178 - added tests for this
2179 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2180 in Moose::Meta::Class
2183 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2184 automatically turned on for you.
2185 - added tests for this
2188 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2189 - added tests for this
2190 - added some more edge case tests

2203 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2206 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2207 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2208 - This release works in combination with
2209 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2210 release because it uses the a new
2211 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2212 complete Role implementation. It has
2213 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2214 the the previous CPAN version. This
2215 release also lacks good updated docs,
2216 the official release will have updated docs.
2219 - refactored the keyword exports
2220 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2221 accepts more than one Role at a time
2222 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2223 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2226 - refactored the keyword exports
2227 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2228 accepts more than one Role at a time
2230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2231 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2232 string enumerations which can be used as
2234 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2237 - more careful checking of params to new()
2240 - much work done on the role composition
2241 - many new tests for conflict detection
2242 and composition edge cases
2243 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2244 looking at the tests
2246 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2247 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2248 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2250 * Moose::Meta::Class
2251 - some small changes to support the new
2253 - some small additions to support Roles
2255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2256 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2258 - some small changes to support the new
2260 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2261 with the 'handles' option
2262 - added several tests for this
2263 - no docs for this yet
2265 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2267 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2268 thanks to chansen for this commit
2269 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2270 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2271 on a per-attribute basis
2272 - added tests for this
2273 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2274 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2275 experimental feature and probably not finished
2276 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2277 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2278 - added tests for this

2340 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2342 - added test for this
