1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
10 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
12 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
13 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
14 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
16 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
17 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
18 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
20 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
21 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
24 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
25 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
28 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
29 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
30 remove_accessors. (doy)
32 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
33 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
34 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
36 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
37 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
39 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
40 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
41 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
42 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
45 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
46 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
48 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
49 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
51 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
53 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
54 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
57 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
58 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
59 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
60 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
61 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
63 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
64 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
65 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
66 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
67 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
68 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
69 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
72 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
73 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
74 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
75 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
76 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
78 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
79 which were not receiving the value of
80 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
81 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
82 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
83 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
87 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
88 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
89 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
90 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
91 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
94 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
95 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
96 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
97 - added tests for this (Stevan)
100 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
101 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
102 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
105 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
107 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
110 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
111 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
114 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
115 class if you pass it options for
116 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
117 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
118 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
119 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
120 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
121 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
122 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
123 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
124 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
126 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
127 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
128 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
129 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
130 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
133 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
135 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
136 existing delegation API. (hdp)
138 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
139 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
140 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
141 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
142 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
143 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
146 * Moose::Error::Croak
147 * Moose::Error::Confess
148 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
149 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
152 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
155 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
156 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
157 installing a broken sub. (doy)
160 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
163 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
164 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
165 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
167 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
168 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
169 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
170 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
171 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
173 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
174 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
177 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
179 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
180 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
183 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
184 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
186 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
187 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
188 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
189 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
191 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
192 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
193 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
194 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
195 using it for new code!
197 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
198 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
199 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
200 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
202 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
203 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
204 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
205 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
206 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
207 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
208 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
209 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
212 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
215 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
216 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
219 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
220 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
222 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
223 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
224 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
227 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
228 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
229 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
232 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
233 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
235 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
236 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
237 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
240 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
241 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
242 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
243 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
244 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
245 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
247 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
249 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
252 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
253 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
254 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
256 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
257 associated_methods. (hdp)
258 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
259 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
260 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
261 misspelled) arguments
263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
264 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
265 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
266 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
268 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
269 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
270 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
272 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
275 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
276 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
277 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
280 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
281 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
283 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
285 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
286 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
288 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
289 * Moose::Manual::Types
290 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
291 string parsing rathole (mst)
293 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
294 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
295 using plain objects instead
297 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
298 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
301 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
303 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
304 three times today (perigrin)
305 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
306 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
309 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
310 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
311 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
314 - A role's required methods are now represented by
315 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
316 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
317 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
318 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
319 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
322 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
323 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
324 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
325 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
328 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
330 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
333 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
335 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
338 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
339 during global destruction. This method has been made more
340 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
344 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
345 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
348 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
349 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
351 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
352 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
353 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
356 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
358 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
359 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
362 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
366 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
367 methods during global destruction (doy)
370 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
371 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
375 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
376 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
379 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
380 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
383 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
384 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
386 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
388 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
392 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
393 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
394 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
397 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
398 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
399 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
402 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
404 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
405 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
406 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
409 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
410 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
411 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
412 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
414 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
415 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
416 of the Moose core (Sartak)
419 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
422 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
423 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
424 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
428 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
429 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
432 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
434 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
437 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
438 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
441 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
442 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
445 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
446 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
449 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
452 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
454 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
455 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
459 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
461 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
462 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
465 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
466 * More deprecations and renamings
467 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
468 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
469 when an object is constructed)
472 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
473 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
474 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
476 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
477 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
478 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
479 feature, and it works again.
482 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
484 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
486 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
487 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
488 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
490 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
491 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
492 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
493 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
494 message. Test provided by perigrin.
496 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
497 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
498 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
499 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
500 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
503 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
504 metaclass object. (hdp)
506 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
507 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
508 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
509 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
510 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
511 point out this fact. (hdp)
513 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
514 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
516 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
517 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
520 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
521 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
522 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
523 called during instance construction were passed the
524 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
525 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
527 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
528 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
531 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
532 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
533 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
536 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
537 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
538 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
539 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
540 them, but they are not for "public" use.
543 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
545 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
546 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
547 when an object is constructed)
548 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
550 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
551 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
552 when an object is constructed)
553 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
554 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
555 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
558 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
560 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
561 * No changes from 0.72_01.
563 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
565 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
566 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
567 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
569 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
570 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
571 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
573 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
575 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
576 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
578 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
579 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
582 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
583 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
586 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
587 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
588 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
590 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
591 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
595 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
596 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
597 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
599 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
600 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
603 * Moose::Manual::Delta
604 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
605 with recommended workarounds.
607 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
608 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
610 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
611 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
612 (yes, spelled like that).
614 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
615 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
618 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
619 changes in latest Class::MOP.
621 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
624 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
625 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
626 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
627 instead. Reported by doy.
629 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
631 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
632 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
634 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
635 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
636 message) is now deprecated.
637 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
638 often got it wrong. For example:
640 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
642 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
646 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
647 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
648 bite you in weird cases.
650 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
651 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
652 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
655 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
656 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
660 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
663 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
664 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
667 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
668 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
670 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
671 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
674 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
675 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
676 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
677 - added tests for this (stevan)
679 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
680 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
681 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
682 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
686 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
687 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
688 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
689 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
691 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
692 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
693 - added tests for this (rafl)
695 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
696 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
697 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
698 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
702 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
703 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
706 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
707 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
708 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
710 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
712 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
713 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
716 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
717 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
718 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
719 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
721 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
722 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
723 error message did not specify the attribute name
726 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
728 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
730 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
731 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
732 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
734 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
735 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
738 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
740 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
741 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
742 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
743 of fixes and formatting improvements.
745 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
747 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
748 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
749 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
750 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
752 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
753 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
754 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
756 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
757 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
758 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
759 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
760 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
762 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
763 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
764 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
765 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
766 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
768 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
769 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
770 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
771 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
772 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
773 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
775 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
776 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
777 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
778 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
779 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
780 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
782 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
783 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
785 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
786 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
787 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
788 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
791 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
794 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
798 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
799 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
801 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
802 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
803 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
806 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
807 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
808 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
810 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
811 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
812 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
813 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
816 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
819 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
820 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
822 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
824 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
827 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
828 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
829 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
830 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
831 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
832 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
834 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
835 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
836 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
837 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
838 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
839 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
840 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
841 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
842 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
843 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
845 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
847 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
848 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
850 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
851 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
852 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
853 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
855 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
856 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
857 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
858 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
859 same methods for a single role did not work
860 right (worked just fine with multiple
862 - added test for this (stevan)
864 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
865 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
866 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
869 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
870 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
871 - added test for this (t0m)
874 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
875 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
876 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
878 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
879 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
880 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
881 - added test for this (t0m)
883 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
884 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
885 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
886 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
887 - added test for this (perigrin)
890 - create method for constructing a role
892 - added test for this (Sartak)
893 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
894 - added test for this (Sartak)
897 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
899 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
900 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
901 methods is useful (Sartak)
903 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
904 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
905 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
909 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
910 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
911 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
912 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
913 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
914 - added tests for this (jdv79)
917 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
918 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
920 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
921 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
922 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
923 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
924 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
926 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
928 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
929 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
930 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
933 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
934 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
935 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
936 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
937 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
938 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
941 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
942 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
943 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
944 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
945 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
946 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
947 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
948 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
949 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
950 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
951 future. (jnapiorkowski)
953 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
954 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
957 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
958 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
959 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
960 type. (jnapiorkowski)
961 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
963 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
965 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
966 predicate, and link to more details sections in
967 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
969 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
970 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
972 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
973 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
974 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
975 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
978 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
979 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
981 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
983 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
984 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
987 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
988 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
991 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
992 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
993 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
994 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
996 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
997 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1000 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1001 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1002 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1003 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1004 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1005 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1006 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1008 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1009 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1010 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1012 * Roles and role application
1013 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1014 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1015 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1016 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1017 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1019 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1020 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1023 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1024 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1025 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1026 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1027 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1030 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1031 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1032 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1033 changes in the Moose internals.
1035 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1037 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1040 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1041 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1042 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1043 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1045 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1046 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1047 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1048 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1050 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1051 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1052 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1053 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1054 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1055 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1056 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1057 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1058 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1059 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1060 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1061 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1062 constraint implementations.
1064 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1068 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1069 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1070 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1071 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1072 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1073 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1074 - added tests for this (rafl)
1076 * Moose::Meta::Class
1077 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1078 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1079 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1080 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1081 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1082 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1083 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1084 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1087 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1088 - added tests for this (thepler)
1090 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1091 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1092 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1093 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1096 * Moose::Meta::Class
1097 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1098 * Moose::Meta::Method
1101 * Moose::Error::Default
1102 * Moose::Error::Croak
1103 * Moose::Error::Confess
1104 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1105 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1106 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1107 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1108 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1109 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1111 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1113 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1114 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1116 * Moose::Unsweetened
1117 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1118 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1119 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1121 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1122 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1123 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1124 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1125 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1128 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1129 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1131 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1132 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1133 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1134 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1137 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1139 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1140 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1142 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1145 - Various bug fixes.
1147 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1148 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1150 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1152 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1153 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1154 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1155 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1156 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1157 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1159 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1160 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1161 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1163 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1164 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1165 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1168 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1169 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1170 dependency to 0.64_07.
1172 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1173 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1174 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1176 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1177 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1180 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1181 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1182 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1183 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1184 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1185 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1187 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1188 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1190 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1192 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1193 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1197 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1198 method when that method was provided by another role being
1199 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1200 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1202 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1204 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1205 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1207 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1208 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1209 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1210 - added test for this (t0m)
1212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1213 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1214 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1216 - added test for this (t0m)
1219 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1220 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1221 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1224 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1225 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1227 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1229 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1230 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1232 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1233 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1234 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1236 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1237 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1240 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1241 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1242 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1243 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1247 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1248 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1249 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1252 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1253 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1254 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1255 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1258 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1262 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1263 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1264 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1266 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1267 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1268 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1269 created so that the process can be more easily
1270 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1272 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1273 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1274 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1275 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1277 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1278 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1281 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1282 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1284 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1285 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1286 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1288 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1289 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1290 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1292 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1293 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1295 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1296 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1299 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1300 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1304 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1305 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1307 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1308 ... this is not my day today ...
1310 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1311 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1312 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1313 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1314 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1317 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1318 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1319 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1320 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1321 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1324 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1326 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1327 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1328 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1329 this is not ever something you want to do
1330 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1331 - added tests for this (stevan)
1334 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1336 - added test for this
1338 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1339 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1340 - added tests for this (wreis)
1342 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1343 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1344 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1345 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1347 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1348 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1349 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1352 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1354 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1356 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1359 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1360 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1361 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1362 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1363 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1364 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1365 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1366 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1367 - added tests for this
1369 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1370 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1371 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1372 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1586 drink more coffee before
1587 doing release engineering
1589 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1704 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1706 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2040 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2043 - fixed how required methods are handled
2044 when they encounter overriden or modified
2045 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2046 - added tests for this
2048 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2049 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2050 the | always creates a union and so is
2051 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2052 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2054 - added more tests for this
2056 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2059 * Parameterized Types
2060 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2061 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2062 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2063 They can also be nested:
2064 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2065 And work with the type unions as well:
2066 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2068 * Better Framework Extendability
2069 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2070 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2071 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2072 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2075 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2076 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2077 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2078 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2081 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2083 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2084 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2126 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2127 +++ with new features added as well +++
2129 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2133 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2135 - added tests for this
2137 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2143 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2144 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2146 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2163 (thanks to shlomif).
2165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2166 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2167 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2216 (but not changing the handles option)
2217 - added tests and docs for this
2220 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2221 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2232 the other side (perigrin)
2234 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2235 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2236 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2237 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2238 prototypes for functions
2239 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2240 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2248 merlyn for finding this bug
2249 - tests added for this
2250 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2253 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2254 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2255 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2256 - added tests for this
2258 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2260 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2281 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2282 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2284 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2285 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2286 so this release is just to fix that.
2289 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2290 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2291 (thanks to konobi for this)
2292 - added tests and docs
2294 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2302 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2303 functions to facilitate introspection.
2305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2306 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2307 to build the list of delegated methods
2308 correctly (and not override important
2309 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2311 - added tests and docs for this
2312 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2313 so that you can actually document your
2314 attributes and inspect them through the
2316 - added tests and docs for this
2318 * Moose::Meta::Class
2319 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2320 it will first look in for the class in the
2321 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2322 then default to just loading $name.
2323 - added tests and docs for this
2325 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2326 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2327 - added test for this
2330 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2331 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2332 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2333 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2335 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2336 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2339 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2341 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2342 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2343 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2346 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2347 !! for this developer release to work !!
2349 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2350 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2351 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2352 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2353 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2354 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2355 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2356 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2357 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2358 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2359 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2361 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2362 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2363 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2364 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2367 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2368 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2369 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2370 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2371 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2373 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2375 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2376 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2379 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2380 called unless they actually need to be.
2381 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2382 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2383 DEMOLISH method present.
2385 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2386 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2387 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2388 type constraint, which allows for a
2389 hand optimized version of the type
2390 constraint to be used when possible.
2391 - Any internally created type constraints
2392 now provide an optimized version as well.
2394 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2396 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2397 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2398 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2400 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2401 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2402 your class namespace of these exported
2405 * Moose::Meta::Class
2406 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2407 comes up during global destruction
2409 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2413 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2416 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2417 - changed how we do type checks so that
2418 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2421 - moved accessor generation methods to
2422 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2423 conform to the API changes from
2426 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2427 - changed how constraints are compiled
2428 so that we do less recursion and more
2429 iteration. This makes the type check
2431 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2435 - created this from methods formerly found in
2436 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2438 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2439 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2441 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2442 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2444 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2445 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2447 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2449 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2450 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2451 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2452 - added tests for this
2453 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2454 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2455 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2456 - removed tests for this
2458 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2460 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2461 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2462 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2465 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2466 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2467 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2469 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2470 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2471 comments for more info.
2474 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2475 asked questions and common problems
2477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2478 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2479 - added tests for this
2481 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2482 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2483 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2484 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2486 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2487 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2490 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2491 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2492 is much appreciated :)
2493 - added tests for this
2495 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2496 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2497 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2500 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2501 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2503 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2505 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2506 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2510 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2511 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2512 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2514 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2516 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2519 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2520 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2521 keywords because we need to localize them.
2522 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2524 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2525 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2526 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2529 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2532 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2533 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2534 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2537 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2538 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2539 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2541 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2543 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2544 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2545 bottom of your class file.
2548 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2551 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2553 - improved error message when loading modules so
2554 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2555 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2556 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2559 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2560 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2561 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2563 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2564 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2566 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2567 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2568 turn them on for you.
2569 - added tests for this
2570 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2571 in Moose::Meta::Class

2598 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2599 - This release works in combination with
2600 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2601 release because it uses the a new
2602 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2603 complete Role implementation. It has
2604 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2605 the the previous CPAN version. This
2606 release also lacks good updated docs,
2607 the official release will have updated docs.
2610 - refactored the keyword exports
2611 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2612 accepts more than one Role at a time

2614 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2617 - refactored the keyword exports
2618 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2619 accepts more than one Role at a time
2621 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2623 string enumerations which can be used as
2625 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2628 - more careful checking of params to new()
2631 - much work done on the role composition
2632 - many new tests for conflict detection
2633 and composition edge cases
2634 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2635 looking at the tests
2637 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2638 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2639 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2651 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2652 with the 'handles' option
2653 - added several tests for this
2654 - no docs for this yet
2656 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2658 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2659 thanks to chansen for this commit
2660 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2661 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2662 on a per-attribute basis
2663 - added tests for this
2664 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2665 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2666 experimental feature and probably not finished
2667 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2668 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2669 - added tests for this
2672 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2684 construct_instance (for the better)
2686 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2687 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2688 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)

2730 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2731 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2733 - added test for this
2736 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
2737 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
2738 - added test for this
