1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
9 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
11 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
12 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
13 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
15 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
16 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
17 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
19 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
22 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
23 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
26 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
27 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
28 remove_accessors. (doy)
30 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
31 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
32 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
34 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
35 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
36 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
37 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
40 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
41 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
43 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
44 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
46 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
48 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
49 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
52 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
53 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
54 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
55 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
56 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
58 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
59 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
60 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
61 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
62 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
63 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
64 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
67 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
68 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
69 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
70 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
71 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
73 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
74 which were not receiving the value of
75 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
76 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
77 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
78 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
82 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
83 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
84 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
85 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
86 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
89 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
90 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
91 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
92 - added tests for this (Stevan)
95 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
96 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
97 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
100 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
101 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
102 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
104 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
105 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
106 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
109 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
110 class if you pass it options for
111 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
112 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
113 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
114 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
115 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
116 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
117 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
118 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
119 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
121 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
122 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
123 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
124 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
125 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
128 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
130 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
131 existing delegation API. (hdp)
133 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
134 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
135 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
136 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
137 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
138 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
141 * Moose::Error::Croak
142 * Moose::Error::Confess
143 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
144 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
147 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
150 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
151 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
152 installing a broken sub. (doy)
155 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
158 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
159 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
160 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
162 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
163 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
164 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
165 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
166 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
168 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
169 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
172 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
174 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
175 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
178 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
179 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
181 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
182 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
183 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
184 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
186 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
187 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
188 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
189 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
190 using it for new code!
192 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
193 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
194 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
195 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
197 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
198 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
199 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
200 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
201 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
202 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
203 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
204 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
207 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
210 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
211 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
214 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
215 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
218 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
219 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
222 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
223 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
224 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
227 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
228 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
230 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
231 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
232 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
235 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
237 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
238 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
239 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
240 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
242 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
244 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
247 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
248 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
249 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
251 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
252 associated_methods. (hdp)
253 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
254 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
255 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
256 misspelled) arguments
258 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
259 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
260 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
261 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
264 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
265 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
267 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
271 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
272 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
275 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
276 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
278 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
280 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
281 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
283 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
284 * Moose::Manual::Types
285 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
286 string parsing rathole (mst)
288 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
289 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
290 using plain objects instead
292 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
293 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
296 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
298 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
299 three times today (perigrin)
300 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
301 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
304 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
305 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
306 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
309 - A role's required methods are now represented by
310 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
311 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
312 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
313 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
314 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
317 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
318 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
319 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
320 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
323 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
325 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
328 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
330 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
333 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
334 during global destruction. This method has been made more
335 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
339 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
340 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
343 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
344 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
346 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
347 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
348 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
351 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
353 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
354 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
357 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
361 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
362 methods during global destruction (doy)
365 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
366 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
370 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
371 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
374 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
375 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
378 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
379 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
381 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
383 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
387 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
388 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
389 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
392 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
393 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
394 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
397 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
399 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
400 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
401 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
404 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
405 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
406 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
407 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
409 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
410 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
411 of the Moose core (Sartak)
414 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
417 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
418 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
419 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
423 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
424 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
427 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
429 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
432 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
433 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
436 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
437 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
440 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
441 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
444 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
447 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
450 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
454 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
456 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
457 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
460 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
461 * More deprecations and renamings
462 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
463 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
464 when an object is constructed)
467 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
468 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
469 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
472 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
473 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
474 feature, and it works again.
477 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
479 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
481 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
482 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
483 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
485 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
486 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
487 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
488 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
489 message. Test provided by perigrin.
491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
492 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
493 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
494 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
495 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
498 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
499 metaclass object. (hdp)
501 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
502 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
503 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
504 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
505 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
506 point out this fact. (hdp)
508 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
509 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
511 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
512 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
515 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
516 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
517 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
518 called during instance construction were passed the
519 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
520 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
522 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
523 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
526 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
527 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
528 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
531 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
532 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
533 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
534 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
535 them, but they are not for "public" use.
538 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
540 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
541 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
542 when an object is constructed)
543 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
545 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
546 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
547 when an object is constructed)
548 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
549 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
550 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
553 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
555 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
556 * No changes from 0.72_01.
558 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
560 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
561 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
562 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
564 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
565 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
566 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
568 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
570 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
571 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
573 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
574 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
577 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
578 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
581 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
582 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
583 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
585 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
586 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
590 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
591 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
592 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
595 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
598 * Moose::Manual::Delta
599 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
600 with recommended workarounds.
602 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
603 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
605 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
606 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
607 (yes, spelled like that).
609 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
610 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
613 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
614 changes in latest Class::MOP.
616 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
618 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
619 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
620 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
621 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
622 instead. Reported by doy.
624 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
626 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
627 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
629 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
630 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
631 message) is now deprecated.
632 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
633 often got it wrong. For example:
635 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
637 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
641 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
642 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
643 bite you in weird cases.
645 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
646 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
647 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
650 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
651 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
655 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
658 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
659 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
662 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
663 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
665 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
666 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
669 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
670 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
671 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
672 - added tests for this (stevan)
674 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
675 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
676 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
677 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
681 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
682 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
683 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
684 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
686 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
687 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
688 - added tests for this (rafl)
690 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
691 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
692 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
693 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
697 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
698 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
701 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
702 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
703 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
705 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
707 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
708 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
711 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
712 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
713 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
714 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
716 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
717 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
718 error message did not specify the attribute name
721 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
723 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
725 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
726 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
727 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
729 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
730 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
733 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
735 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
736 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
737 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
738 of fixes and formatting improvements.
740 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
742 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
743 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
744 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
745 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
747 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
748 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
749 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
751 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
752 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
753 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
754 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
755 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
757 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
758 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
759 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
760 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
761 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
763 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
764 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
765 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
766 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
767 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
768 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
770 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
771 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
772 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
773 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
774 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
775 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
777 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
778 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
780 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
781 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
782 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
783 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
785 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
786 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
789 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
793 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
794 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
796 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
797 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
798 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
801 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
802 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
803 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
805 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
806 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
807 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
808 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
811 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
814 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
815 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
817 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
819 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
822 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
823 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
824 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
825 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
826 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
827 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
829 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
830 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
831 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
832 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
833 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
834 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
835 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
836 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
837 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
838 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
840 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
842 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
843 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
845 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
846 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
847 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
848 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
850 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
851 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
852 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
853 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
854 same methods for a single role did not work
855 right (worked just fine with multiple
857 - added test for this (stevan)
859 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
860 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
861 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
864 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
865 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
866 - added test for this (t0m)
869 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
870 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
871 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
873 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
874 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
875 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
876 - added test for this (t0m)
878 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
879 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
880 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
881 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
882 - added test for this (perigrin)
885 - create method for constructing a role
887 - added test for this (Sartak)
888 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
889 - added test for this (Sartak)
892 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
894 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
895 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
896 methods is useful (Sartak)
898 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
899 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
900 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
904 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
905 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
906 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
907 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
908 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
909 - added tests for this (jdv79)
912 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
913 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
915 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
916 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
917 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
918 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
919 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
921 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
923 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
924 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
925 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
928 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
929 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
930 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
931 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
932 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
933 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
936 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
937 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
938 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
939 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
940 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
941 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
942 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
943 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
944 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
945 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
946 future. (jnapiorkowski)
948 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
949 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
952 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
953 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
954 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
955 type. (jnapiorkowski)
956 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
958 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
960 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
961 predicate, and link to more details sections in
962 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
964 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
965 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
967 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
968 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
969 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
970 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
973 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
974 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
976 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
978 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
979 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
982 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
983 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
986 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
987 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
988 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
989 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
991 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
992 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
994 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
995 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
996 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
997 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
998 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
999 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1000 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1001 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1003 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1004 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1005 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1007 * Roles and role application
1008 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1009 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1010 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1011 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1012 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1014 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1015 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1018 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1019 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1020 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1021 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1022 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1025 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1026 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1027 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1028 changes in the Moose internals.
1030 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1031 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1032 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1035 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1036 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1037 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1038 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1040 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1041 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1042 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1043 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1045 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1046 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1047 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1048 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1049 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1050 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1051 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1052 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1053 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1054 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1055 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1056 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1057 constraint implementations.
1059 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1063 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1064 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1065 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1066 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1067 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1068 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1069 - added tests for this (rafl)
1071 * Moose::Meta::Class
1072 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1073 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1074 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1075 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1076 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1077 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1078 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1079 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1082 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1083 - added tests for this (thepler)
1085 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1086 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1087 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1088 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1091 * Moose::Meta::Class
1092 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1093 * Moose::Meta::Method
1096 * Moose::Error::Default
1097 * Moose::Error::Croak
1098 * Moose::Error::Confess
1099 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1100 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1101 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1102 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1103 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1104 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1106 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1108 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1109 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1111 * Moose::Unsweetened
1112 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1113 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1114 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1116 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1117 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1118 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1119 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1120 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1123 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1124 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1126 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1127 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1128 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1129 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1132 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1134 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1135 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1137 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1140 - Various bug fixes.
1142 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1143 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1145 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1147 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1148 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1149 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1150 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1151 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1152 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1154 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1155 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1156 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1158 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1159 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1160 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1163 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1164 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1165 dependency to 0.64_07.
1167 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1168 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1169 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1171 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1172 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1175 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1176 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1177 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1178 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1179 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1180 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1182 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1183 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1185 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1187 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1188 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1192 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1193 method when that method was provided by another role being
1194 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1195 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1197 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1199 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1200 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1202 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1203 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1204 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1205 - added test for this (t0m)
1207 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1208 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1209 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1211 - added test for this (t0m)
1214 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1215 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1216 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1219 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1220 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1222 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1224 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1225 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1227 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1228 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1229 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1231 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1232 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1235 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1236 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1237 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1238 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1242 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1243 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1244 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1247 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1248 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1249 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1250 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1253 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1257 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1258 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1259 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1261 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1263 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1264 created so that the process can be more easily
1265 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1267 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1268 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1269 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1270 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1272 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1273 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1276 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1277 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1279 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1280 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1281 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1283 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1284 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1285 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1287 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1288 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1290 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1291 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1294 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1295 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1299 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1300 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1302 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1303 ... this is not my day today ...
1305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1306 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1307 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1308 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1309 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1312 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1313 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1314 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1315 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1316 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1319 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1321 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1322 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1323 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1324 this is not ever something you want to do
1325 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1326 - added tests for this (stevan)
1329 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1331 - added test for this
1333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1334 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1335 - added tests for this (wreis)
1337 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1338 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1339 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1340 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1342 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1343 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1344 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1347 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1349 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1351 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1354 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1355 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1356 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1357 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1358 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1359 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1360 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1361 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1362 - added tests for this
1364 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1365 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1366 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2041 - added tests for this
2043 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2044 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2045 the | always creates a union and so is
2046 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2047 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2049 - added more tests for this
2051 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2054 * Parameterized Types
2055 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2056 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2057 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2058 They can also be nested:
2059 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2060 And work with the type unions as well:
2061 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2063 * Better Framework Extendability
2064 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2065 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2066 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2067 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2070 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2071 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2072 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2073 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2076 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2078 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2079 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2114 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2115 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2117 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2118 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2119 - updated the accompanying test as well
2121 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2122 +++ with new features added as well +++
2124 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2125 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2126 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of

2128 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2130 - added tests for this
2132 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2134 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2135 can track where the type constraints are created
2137 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2138 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2139 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2141 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2142 - this has been added to service the newly refactored

2158 (thanks to shlomif).
2160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2161 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2162 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2163 - added tests for this
2164 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2166 - added tests for this
2168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2200 - added tests for these
2202 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2203 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2206 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

2211 (but not changing the handles option)
2212 - added tests and docs for this
2215 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2216 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2217 - adjusted tests for this
2219 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2220 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2221 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2227 the other side (perigrin)
2229 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2231 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2232 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2233 prototypes for functions
2234 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2235 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2243 merlyn for finding this bug
2244 - tests added for this
2245 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2248 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2249 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2250 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2251 - added tests for this
2253 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2255 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2271 * Moose::Meta::Class
2272 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2273 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2274 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2276 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2277 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2279 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2280 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2281 so this release is just to fix that.
2284 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2285 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2286 (thanks to konobi for this)
2287 - added tests and docs
2289 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2290 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2292 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2293 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2294 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2295 - added tests for this

2297 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2298 functions to facilitate introspection.
2300 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2301 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2302 to build the list of delegated methods
2303 correctly (and not override important
2304 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2306 - added tests and docs for this
2307 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2308 so that you can actually document your
2309 attributes and inspect them through the
2311 - added tests and docs for this
2313 * Moose::Meta::Class
2314 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2315 it will first look in for the class in the
2316 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2317 then default to just loading $name.
2318 - added tests and docs for this
2320 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2321 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2322 - added test for this
2325 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2326 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2327 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2328 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2330 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2331 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2334 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2336 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2337 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2338 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2341 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2342 !! for this developer release to work !!
2344 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2345 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2346 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2347 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2348 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2349 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2350 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2351 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2352 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2353 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2354 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2356 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2357 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2358 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2359 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2362 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2363 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2364 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2365 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2366 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2368 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2370 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2371 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2374 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2375 called unless they actually need to be.
2376 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2377 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2378 DEMOLISH method present.
2380 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2381 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2382 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2383 type constraint, which allows for a
2384 hand optimized version of the type
2385 constraint to be used when possible.
2386 - Any internally created type constraints
2387 now provide an optimized version as well.
2389 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2391 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2392 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2393 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2395 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2396 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2397 your class namespace of these exported
2400 * Moose::Meta::Class
2401 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2402 comes up during global destruction
2404 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2408 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2411 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2412 - changed how we do type checks so that
2413 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2416 - moved accessor generation methods to
2417 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2418 conform to the API changes from
2421 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2422 - changed how constraints are compiled
2423 so that we do less recursion and more
2424 iteration. This makes the type check
2426 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2429 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2430 - created this from methods formerly found in
2431 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2433 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2434 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2436 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2437 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2439 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2440 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2442 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2444 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2445 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2446 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2447 - added tests for this
2448 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2449 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2450 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2451 - removed tests for this
2453 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2455 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2456 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2457 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2460 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2461 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2462 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2464 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2465 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2466 comments for more info.
2469 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2470 asked questions and common problems
2472 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2473 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2474 - added tests for this
2476 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2477 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2478 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2479 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2481 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2482 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2485 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2486 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2487 is much appreciated :)
2488 - added tests for this
2490 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2491 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2492 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2495 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2496 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2498 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2500 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2501 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2505 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2506 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2507 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2509 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2511 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2514 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2515 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2516 keywords because we need to localize them.
2517 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2519 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2520 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2521 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2524 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2527 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2528 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2529 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2532 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2533 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2534 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2536 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2538 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2539 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2540 bottom of your class file.
2543 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2546 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2548 - improved error message when loading modules so
2549 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2550 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2551 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2554 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2555 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2556 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2558 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2559 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2561 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2562 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2563 turn them on for you.
2564 - added tests for this
2565 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2566 in Moose::Meta::Class
2569 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2570 automatically turned on for you.

2574 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2575 - added tests for this
2576 - added some more edge case tests

2593 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2594 - This release works in combination with
2595 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2596 release because it uses the a new
2597 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2598 complete Role implementation. It has
2599 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2600 the the previous CPAN version. This
2601 release also lacks good updated docs,
2602 the official release will have updated docs.
2605 - refactored the keyword exports
2606 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2607 accepts more than one Role at a time
2608 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2609 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2612 - refactored the keyword exports
2613 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2614 accepts more than one Role at a time
2616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2617 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2618 string enumerations which can be used as
2620 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2623 - more careful checking of params to new()
2626 - much work done on the role composition
2627 - many new tests for conflict detection
2628 and composition edge cases
2629 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2630 looking at the tests
2632 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2633 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2634 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2636 * Moose::Meta::Class

2639 - some small additions to support Roles
2641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2644 - some small changes to support the new
2646 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2647 with the 'handles' option
2648 - added several tests for this
2649 - no docs for this yet
2651 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2653 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2654 thanks to chansen for this commit
2655 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2656 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2657 on a per-attribute basis
2658 - added tests for this
2659 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2660 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2661 experimental feature and probably not finished
2662 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2663 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2664 - added tests for this
2667 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2679 construct_instance (for the better)
2681 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2682 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2683 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)

2725 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2726 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2728 - added test for this
2731 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
2732 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
2733 - added test for this
