1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
9 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
10 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
11 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
13 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
14 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
15 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
19 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
20 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
22 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
26 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
27 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
28 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
29 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
35 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
36 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
39 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
43 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
44 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
46 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
47 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
51 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
52 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
53 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
54 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
55 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
56 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
58 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
59 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
61 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
62 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
63 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
66 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
67 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
69 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
74 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
75 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
77 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
81 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
82 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
83 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
85 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
89 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
90 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
91 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
93 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
94 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
97 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
98 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
101 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
102 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
103 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
105 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
106 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
111 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
112 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
113 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
114 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
116 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
117 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
119 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
120 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
122 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
123 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
124 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
125 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
127 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
128 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
129 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
132 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
133 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
134 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
135 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
137 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
138 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
141 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
142 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
143 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
145 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
149 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
150 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
151 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
153 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
154 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
155 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
158 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
159 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
160 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
162 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
163 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
164 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
166 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
167 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
171 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
172 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
173 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
175 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
176 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
177 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
178 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
180 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
184 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
185 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
186 value is a reference.
188 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
189 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
191 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
195 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
196 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
197 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
199 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
203 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
204 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
208 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
209 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
210 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
212 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
213 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
214 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
216 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
220 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
222 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
226 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
228 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
229 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
234 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
235 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
237 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
238 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
239 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
240 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
241 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
243 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
244 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
245 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
246 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
248 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
252 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
253 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
258 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
260 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
262 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
267 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
269 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
273 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
274 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
275 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
277 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
278 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
279 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
280 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
282 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
283 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
284 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
285 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
286 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
289 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
294 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
295 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
296 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
297 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
298 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
301 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
305 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
308 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
309 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
313 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
314 function (not just method). (doy)
318 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
319 and aren't easily installable/testable.
321 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
325 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
326 to be overridden more easily (doy).
328 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
332 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
333 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
335 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
339 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
340 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
341 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
343 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
347 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
348 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
349 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
351 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
352 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
356 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
357 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
359 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
360 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
364 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
365 is applied to a class (t0m).
367 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
368 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
370 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
373 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
374 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
376 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
377 be much more robust. (doy)
379 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
381 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
384 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
388 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
389 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
391 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
395 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
396 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
398 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
401 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
402 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
403 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
405 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
406 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
407 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
410 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
412 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
416 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
417 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
421 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
423 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
427 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
428 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
432 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
433 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
437 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
439 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
443 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
444 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
448 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
449 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
453 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
454 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
456 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
460 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
461 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
462 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
465 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
469 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
470 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
471 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
472 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
474 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
478 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
479 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
480 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
484 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
487 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
492 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
493 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
497 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
498 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
500 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
501 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
502 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
503 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
505 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
509 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
513 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
514 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
516 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
517 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
518 - Moose::Util::does_role
519 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
520 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
521 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
523 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
527 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
528 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
529 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
532 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
536 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
537 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
540 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
544 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
545 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
548 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
552 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
554 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
555 class. (Dave Rolsky).
557 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
558 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
559 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
561 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
562 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
563 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
566 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
567 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
569 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
570 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
571 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
573 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
575 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
576 substr et al, again. (sorear)
578 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
580 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
583 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
584 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
586 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
587 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
589 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
590 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
591 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
592 dependencies installed.
594 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
595 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
598 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
600 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
604 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
606 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
607 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
608 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
610 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
611 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
612 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
614 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
615 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
618 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
619 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
620 others. (nothingmuch)
622 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
623 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
624 remove_accessors. (doy)
626 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
627 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
628 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
631 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
633 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
634 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
635 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
636 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
639 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
640 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
642 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
643 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
645 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
647 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
648 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
651 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
652 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
653 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
654 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
655 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
657 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
658 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
659 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
660 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
661 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
662 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
663 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
666 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
667 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
668 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
669 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
670 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
672 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
673 which were not receiving the value of
674 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
675 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
676 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
677 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
681 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
682 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
683 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
684 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
685 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
688 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
689 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
690 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
691 - added tests for this (Stevan)
694 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
695 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
696 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
699 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
700 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
701 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
703 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
704 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
705 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
708 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
709 class if you pass it options for
710 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
711 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
712 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
713 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
714 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
715 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
716 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
717 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
718 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
720 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
721 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
722 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
723 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
724 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
727 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
728 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
729 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
730 existing delegation API. (hdp)
732 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
733 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
734 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
735 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
736 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
737 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
740 * Moose::Error::Croak
741 * Moose::Error::Confess
742 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
743 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
746 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
749 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
750 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
751 installing a broken sub. (doy)
754 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
757 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
758 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
759 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
761 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
762 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
763 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
764 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
765 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
767 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
768 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
771 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
773 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
774 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
777 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
778 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
780 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
782 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
783 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
785 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
786 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
787 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
788 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
789 using it for new code!
791 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
792 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
793 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
794 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
796 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
797 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
798 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
799 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
800 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
801 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
802 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
803 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
806 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
809 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
810 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
813 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
814 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
816 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
817 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
818 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
822 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
823 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
826 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
827 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
829 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
830 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
831 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
834 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
835 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
836 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
837 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
838 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
839 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
841 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
843 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
846 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
847 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
848 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
850 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
851 associated_methods. (hdp)
852 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
853 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
854 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
855 misspelled) arguments
857 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
858 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
859 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
860 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
862 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
863 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
864 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
866 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
869 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
870 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
871 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
874 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
875 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
877 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
879 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
880 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
882 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
883 * Moose::Manual::Types
884 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
885 string parsing rathole (mst)
887 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
888 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
889 using plain objects instead
891 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
892 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
895 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
897 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
898 three times today (perigrin)
899 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
900 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
902 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
903 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
904 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
905 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
908 - A role's required methods are now represented by
909 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
910 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
911 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
912 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
913 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
916 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
917 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
918 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
919 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
922 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
924 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
927 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
929 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
932 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
933 during global destruction. This method has been made more
934 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
938 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
939 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
942 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
943 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
945 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
946 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
947 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
950 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
952 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
953 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
956 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
960 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
961 methods during global destruction (doy)
964 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
965 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
969 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
970 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
973 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
974 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
977 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
978 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
980 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
982 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
986 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
987 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
988 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
991 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
992 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
993 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
996 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
998 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
999 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1000 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1003 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1004 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1005 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1006 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1008 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1009 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1010 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1013 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1016 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1017 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1018 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1022 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1023 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1025 * Moose::Meta::Class
1026 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1028 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1030 * Moose::Meta::Class
1031 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1032 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1035 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1036 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1039 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1040 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1043 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1046 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1048 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1049 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1052 * Moose::Meta::Class
1053 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1055 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1056 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1059 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1060 * More deprecations and renamings
1061 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1062 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1063 when an object is constructed)
1066 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1067 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1068 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1070 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1071 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1072 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1073 feature, and it works again.
1076 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1078 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1080 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1081 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1082 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1084 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1085 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1086 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1087 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1088 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1090 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1091 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1092 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1093 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1094 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1097 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1098 metaclass object. (hdp)
1100 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1101 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1102 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1103 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1104 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1105 point out this fact. (hdp)
1107 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1108 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1110 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1111 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1113 * Moose::Meta::Class
1114 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1115 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1116 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1117 called during instance construction were passed the
1118 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1119 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1121 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1122 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1125 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1126 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1127 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1130 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1131 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1132 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1133 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1134 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1136 - Moose::Meta::Class
1137 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1139 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1140 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1141 when an object is constructed)
1142 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1144 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1145 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1146 when an object is constructed)
1147 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1148 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1149 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1152 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1154 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1155 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1157 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1159 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1160 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1161 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1163 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1164 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1165 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1167 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1169 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1170 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1172 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1173 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1176 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1177 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1180 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1181 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1182 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1184 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1185 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1189 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1190 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1191 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1193 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1194 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1197 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1198 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1199 with recommended workarounds.
1201 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1202 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1204 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1205 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1206 (yes, spelled like that).
1208 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1209 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1211 * Moose::Meta::Class
1212 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1213 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1215 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1218 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1219 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1220 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1221 instead. Reported by doy.
1223 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1225 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1226 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1228 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1229 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1230 message) is now deprecated.
1231 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1232 often got it wrong. For example:
1234 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1236 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1240 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1241 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1242 bite you in weird cases.
1244 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1245 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1246 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1247 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1249 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1250 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1254 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1257 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1258 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1261 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1262 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1264 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1265 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1268 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1269 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1270 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1271 - added tests for this (stevan)
1273 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1274 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1275 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1276 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1280 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1281 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1282 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1283 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1285 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1286 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1287 - added tests for this (rafl)
1289 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1290 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1291 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1292 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1296 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1297 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1300 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1301 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1302 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1304 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1306 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1307 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1309 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1310 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1311 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1312 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1313 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1315 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1316 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1317 error message did not specify the attribute name
1320 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1322 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1324 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1325 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1326 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1328 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1329 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1332 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1334 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1335 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1336 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1337 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1339 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1341 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1342 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1343 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1344 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1347 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1348 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1350 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1351 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1352 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1353 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1354 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1356 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1357 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1358 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1359 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1360 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1362 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1363 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1364 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1365 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1366 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1367 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1369 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1370 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1371 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1372 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1373 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1374 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1376 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1377 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1379 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1380 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1381 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1382 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1384 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1385 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1388 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1392 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1393 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1395 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1396 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1397 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1398 guts. (nothingmuch).
1400 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1401 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1402 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1404 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1405 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1406 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1407 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1409 * Moose::Meta::Class
1410 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1413 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1414 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1416 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1417 * Moose::Unsweetened
1418 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1421 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1422 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1423 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1424 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1425 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1426 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1428 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1429 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1430 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1431 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1432 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1433 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1434 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1435 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1436 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1437 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1439 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1441 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1442 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1444 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1445 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1446 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1447 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1449 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1450 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1451 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1452 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1453 same methods for a single role did not work
1454 right (worked just fine with multiple
1456 - added test for this (stevan)
1458 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1459 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1460 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1463 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1464 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1465 - added test for this (t0m)
1468 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1469 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1470 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1472 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1473 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1474 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1475 - added test for this (t0m)
1477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1478 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1479 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1480 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1481 - added test for this (perigrin)
1484 - create method for constructing a role
1485 dynamically (Sartak)
1486 - added test for this (Sartak)
1487 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1488 - added test for this (Sartak)
1491 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1493 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1494 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1495 methods is useful (Sartak)
1497 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1498 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1499 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1502 * Moose::Meta::Class
1503 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1504 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1505 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1506 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1507 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1508 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1511 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1512 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1514 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1515 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1516 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1517 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1518 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1520 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1522 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1523 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1524 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1527 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1528 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1529 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1530 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1531 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1532 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1535 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1536 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1537 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1538 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1539 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1540 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1541 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1542 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1543 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1544 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1545 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1547 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1548 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1551 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1552 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1553 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1554 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1555 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1557 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1559 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1560 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1561 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1563 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1564 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1566 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1567 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1568 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1569 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1572 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1573 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1575 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1577 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1578 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1580 * Moose::Meta::Class
1581 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1582 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1583 a required attribute
1585 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1586 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1587 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1588 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1590 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1591 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1593 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1594 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1595 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1596 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1597 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1598 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1599 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1600 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1602 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1603 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1604 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1606 * Roles and role application
1607 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1608 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1609 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1610 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1611 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1613 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1614 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1617 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1618 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1619 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1620 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1621 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1624 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1625 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1626 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1627 changes in the Moose internals.
1629 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1631 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1634 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1635 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1636 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1637 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1639 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1640 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1641 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1642 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1645 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1646 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1647 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1648 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1649 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1650 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1651 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1652 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1653 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1654 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1655 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1656 constraint implementations.
1658 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1662 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1663 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1664 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1665 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1666 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1667 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1668 - added tests for this (rafl)
1670 * Moose::Meta::Class
1671 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1672 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1673 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1674 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1675 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1676 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1677 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1678 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1681 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1682 - added tests for this (thepler)
1684 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1685 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1686 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1687 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1690 * Moose::Meta::Class
1691 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1692 * Moose::Meta::Method
1695 * Moose::Error::Default
1696 * Moose::Error::Croak
1697 * Moose::Error::Confess
1698 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1699 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1700 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1701 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1702 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1703 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1705 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1707 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1708 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1710 * Moose::Unsweetened
1711 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1712 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1713 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1715 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1716 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1717 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1718 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1719 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1722 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1723 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1725 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1726 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1727 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1728 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1731 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1733 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1734 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1736 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1739 - Various bug fixes.
1741 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1742 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1744 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1746 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1747 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1748 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1749 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1750 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1751 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1753 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1754 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1755 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1757 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1758 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1759 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1762 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1763 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1764 dependency to 0.64_07.
1766 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1767 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1768 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1770 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1771 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1774 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1775 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1776 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1777 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1778 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1779 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1781 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1782 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1784 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1786 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1787 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1791 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1792 method when that method was provided by another role being
1793 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1794 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1796 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1798 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1799 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1801 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1802 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1803 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1804 - added test for this (t0m)
1806 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1807 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1808 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1810 - added test for this (t0m)
1813 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1814 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1815 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1818 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1819 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1821 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1823 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1824 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1826 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1827 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1828 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1830 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1831 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1834 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1835 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1836 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1837 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1841 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1842 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1843 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1846 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1847 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1848 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1849 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1852 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1856 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1857 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1858 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1860 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1862 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1863 created so that the process can be more easily
1864 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1866 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1867 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1868 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1869 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1871 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1872 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1875 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1876 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1878 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1879 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1880 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1882 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1883 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1884 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1886 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1887 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1889 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1890 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1893 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1894 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1898 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1899 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1901 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1902 ... this is not my day today ...
1904 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1905 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1906 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1907 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1908 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1911 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1912 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1913 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1914 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1915 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1918 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1920 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1921 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1922 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1923 this is not ever something you want to do
1924 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1925 - added tests for this (stevan)
1928 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1930 - added test for this
1932 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1933 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1934 - added tests for this (wreis)
1936 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1937 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1938 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1939 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1941 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1942 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1943 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1946 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1948 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1950 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1953 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1954 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1955 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1956 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1957 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1958 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1959 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1960 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1961 - added tests for this
1963 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1964 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1965 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1966 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1968 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1970 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1971 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1972 - added tests for this (sartak)
1973 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1974 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1977 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1979 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1980 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1983 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1984 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1985 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1987 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1989 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1990 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1993 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1994 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1995 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1997 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1998 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1999 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2001 - added docs for this (TODO).
2002 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2003 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2004 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2005 - fix builder and default both being used
2010 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2012 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2013 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2014 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2018 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2022 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2023 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2024 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2026 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2027 - move the ClassName type check code to
2028 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2030 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2031 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2033 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2034 (early morning release engineering)--
2036 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2037 which was causing the indexer to choke
2039 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2040 (late night release engineering)--
2042 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2043 changes in this release
2045 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2046 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2047 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2049 * Moose::Meta::Class

2073 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2074 XS based functionality is now optional
2075 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2076 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2077 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2096 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2097 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2151 ->body when looping through the
2152 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2154 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2155 eating the $@ values, and so not
2156 working correctly, it still kind of
2157 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2158 - added tests for this

2180 drink more coffee before
2181 doing release engineering
2183 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2298 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2300 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2301 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2344 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2345 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2637 - fixed how required methods are handled
2638 when they encounter overriden or modified
2639 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2640 - added tests for this
2642 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2643 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2644 the | always creates a union and so is
2645 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2646 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2648 - added more tests for this
2650 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2653 * Parameterized Types
2654 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2655 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2656 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2657 They can also be nested:
2658 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2659 And work with the type unions as well:
2660 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2662 * Better Framework Extendability
2663 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2664 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2665 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2666 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2669 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2670 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2671 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2672 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2675 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2677 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2716 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2717 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2718 - updated the accompanying test as well

2849 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2850 - added tests for this
2852 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2854 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2906 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2907 so that you can actually document your
2908 attributes and inspect them through the

2915 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2916 then default to just loading $name.
2917 - added tests and docs for this
2919 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2920 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2921 - added test for this
2924 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2925 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2926 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2927 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2929 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2930 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2933 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2935 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2936 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2937 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2940 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2941 !! for this developer release to work !!
2943 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2944 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2945 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2946 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2947 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2948 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2949 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2950 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2951 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2952 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2953 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2955 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2956 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2957 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2958 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2961 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2962 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2963 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2964 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2965 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2967 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2969 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2970 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2973 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2974 called unless they actually need to be.
2975 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2976 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2977 DEMOLISH method present.
2979 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2980 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2981 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2982 type constraint, which allows for a
2983 hand optimized version of the type
2984 constraint to be used when possible.
2985 - Any internally created type constraints
2986 now provide an optimized version as well.
2988 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2990 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2991 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2992 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2994 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2995 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2996 your class namespace of these exported
2999 * Moose::Meta::Class
3000 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3001 comes up during global destruction
3003 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3007 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3010 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3011 - changed how we do type checks so that
3012 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3015 - moved accessor generation methods to
3016 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3017 conform to the API changes from
3020 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3021 - changed how constraints are compiled
3022 so that we do less recursion and more
3023 iteration. This makes the type check
3025 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3028 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3029 - created this from methods formerly found in
3030 Moose::Meta::Attribute

3043 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3044 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3045 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3046 - added tests for this
3047 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3048 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3049 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3050 - removed tests for this
3052 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3054 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3055 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3056 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3059 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3060 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3061 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3063 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3064 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3065 comments for more info.
3068 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3069 asked questions and common problems
3071 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3072 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3073 - added tests for this
3075 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3076 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3077 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3078 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3080 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3081 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3084 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3085 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3086 is much appreciated :)
3087 - added tests for this
3089 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3090 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3091 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3094 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3095 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3097 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3099 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3100 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3104 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3105 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3106 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3108 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3110 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3113 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3114 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3115 keywords because we need to localize them.
3116 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3118 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3119 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3120 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3123 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3126 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3127 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3128 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3131 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3132 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3133 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3135 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3137 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3138 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3139 bottom of your class file.
3142 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3145 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3147 - improved error message when loading modules so
3148 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3149 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3150 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3153 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3154 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3155 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3158 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3160 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3161 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3162 turn them on for you.
3163 - added tests for this

3192 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3193 - This release works in combination with
3194 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3195 release because it uses the a new
3196 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3197 complete Role implementation. It has
3198 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3199 the the previous CPAN version. This
3200 release also lacks good updated docs,
3201 the official release will have updated docs.
3204 - refactored the keyword exports
3205 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3206 accepts more than one Role at a time

3217 string enumerations which can be used as
3219 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3222 - more careful checking of params to new()
3225 - much work done on the role composition
3226 - many new tests for conflict detection
3227 and composition edge cases
3228 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3229 looking at the tests
3231 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3232 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3233 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3254 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3255 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3256 on a per-attribute basis
3257 - added tests for this
3258 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3259 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3260 experimental feature and probably not finished
