1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
9 to be overridden more easily (doy).
11 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
15 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
16 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
18 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
22 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
23 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
24 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
26 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
30 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
31 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
32 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
34 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
35 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
39 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
40 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
42 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
43 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
47 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
48 is applied to a class (t0m).
50 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
51 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
53 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
56 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
57 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
59 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
60 be much more robust. (doy)
62 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
64 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
67 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
71 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
72 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
74 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
78 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
79 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
81 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
84 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
85 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
86 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
88 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
89 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
90 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
93 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
95 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
99 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
100 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
104 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
106 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
110 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
111 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
115 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
116 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
120 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
122 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
126 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
127 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
131 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
132 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
136 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
137 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
139 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
143 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
144 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
145 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
148 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
152 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
153 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
154 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
155 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
157 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
161 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
162 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
163 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
167 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
170 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
174 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
175 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
176 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
180 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
181 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
183 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
184 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
185 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
186 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
188 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
192 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
196 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
197 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
199 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
200 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
201 - Moose::Util::does_role
202 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
203 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
204 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
206 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
210 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
211 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
212 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
215 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
219 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
220 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
223 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
227 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
228 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
231 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
235 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
237 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
238 class. (Dave Rolsky).
240 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
241 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
242 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
244 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
245 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
246 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
249 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
250 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
252 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
253 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
254 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
256 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
258 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
259 substr et al, again. (sorear)
261 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
263 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
266 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
267 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
269 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
270 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
272 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
273 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
274 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
275 dependencies installed.
277 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
278 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
281 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
283 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
287 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
289 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
290 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
291 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
293 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
294 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
295 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
297 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
298 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
301 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
302 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
303 others. (nothingmuch)
305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
306 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
307 remove_accessors. (doy)
309 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
310 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
311 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
314 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
316 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
317 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
318 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
319 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
322 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
323 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
325 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
326 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
328 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
330 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
331 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
334 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
335 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
336 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
337 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
338 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
340 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
343 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
344 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
345 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
346 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
349 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
350 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
351 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
352 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
353 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
355 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
356 which were not receiving the value of
357 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
358 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
359 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
360 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
364 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
365 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
366 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
367 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
368 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
371 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
372 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
373 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
374 - added tests for this (Stevan)
377 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
378 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
379 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
382 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
383 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
384 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
386 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
387 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
388 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
391 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
392 class if you pass it options for
393 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
394 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
395 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
396 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
397 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
398 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
399 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
400 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
401 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
403 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
404 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
405 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
406 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
407 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
410 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
411 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
412 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
413 existing delegation API. (hdp)
415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
416 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
417 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
418 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
419 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
420 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
423 * Moose::Error::Croak
424 * Moose::Error::Confess
425 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
426 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
429 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
432 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
433 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
434 installing a broken sub. (doy)
437 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
440 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
441 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
442 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
444 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
445 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
446 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
447 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
448 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
450 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
451 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
454 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
456 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
457 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
460 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
461 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
465 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
466 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
468 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
469 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
470 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
471 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
472 using it for new code!
474 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
475 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
476 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
477 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
479 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
480 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
481 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
482 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
483 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
484 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
485 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
486 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
489 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
492 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
493 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
497 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
499 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
500 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
501 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
504 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
505 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
506 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
509 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
510 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
512 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
513 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
514 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
517 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
518 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
519 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
520 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
521 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
522 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
524 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
526 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
529 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
530 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
531 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
533 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
534 associated_methods. (hdp)
535 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
536 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
537 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
538 misspelled) arguments
540 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
541 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
542 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
543 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
545 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
546 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
547 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
549 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
552 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
553 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
554 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
557 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
558 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
560 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
562 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
563 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
565 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
566 * Moose::Manual::Types
567 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
568 string parsing rathole (mst)
570 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
571 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
572 using plain objects instead
574 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
575 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
578 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
580 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
581 three times today (perigrin)
582 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
583 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
586 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
587 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
588 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
591 - A role's required methods are now represented by
592 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
593 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
594 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
595 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
596 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
599 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
600 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
601 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
602 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
605 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
607 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
610 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
612 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
615 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
616 during global destruction. This method has been made more
617 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
621 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
622 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
625 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
626 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
628 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
629 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
630 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
633 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
635 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
636 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
639 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
643 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
644 methods during global destruction (doy)
647 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
648 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
652 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
653 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
656 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
657 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
660 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
661 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
663 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
665 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
669 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
670 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
671 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
674 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
675 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
676 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
679 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
681 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
682 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
683 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
686 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
687 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
688 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
689 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
691 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
692 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
693 of the Moose core (Sartak)
696 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
699 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
700 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
701 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
705 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
706 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
709 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
711 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
714 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
715 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
718 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
719 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
722 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
723 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
726 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
729 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
731 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
732 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
736 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
738 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
739 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
742 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
743 * More deprecations and renamings
744 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
745 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
746 when an object is constructed)
749 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
750 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
751 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
753 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
754 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
755 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
756 feature, and it works again.
759 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
761 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
763 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
764 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
765 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
767 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
768 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
769 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
770 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
771 message. Test provided by perigrin.
773 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
774 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
775 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
776 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
777 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
780 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
781 metaclass object. (hdp)
783 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
784 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
785 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
786 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
787 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
788 point out this fact. (hdp)
790 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
791 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
793 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
794 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
797 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
798 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
799 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
800 called during instance construction were passed the
801 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
802 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
804 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
805 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
808 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
809 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
810 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
813 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
814 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
815 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
816 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
817 them, but they are not for "public" use.
820 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
822 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
823 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
824 when an object is constructed)
825 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
827 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
828 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
829 when an object is constructed)
830 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
831 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
832 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
835 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
837 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
838 * No changes from 0.72_01.
840 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
842 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
843 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
844 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
846 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
847 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
848 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
850 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
852 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
853 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
855 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
856 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
859 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
860 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
863 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
864 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
865 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
867 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
868 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
872 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
873 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
874 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
876 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
877 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
880 * Moose::Manual::Delta
881 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
882 with recommended workarounds.
884 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
885 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
887 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
888 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
889 (yes, spelled like that).
891 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
892 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
895 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
896 changes in latest Class::MOP.
898 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
900 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
901 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
902 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
903 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
904 instead. Reported by doy.
906 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
908 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
909 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
911 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
912 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
913 message) is now deprecated.
914 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
915 often got it wrong. For example:
917 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
919 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
923 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
924 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
925 bite you in weird cases.
927 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
928 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
929 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
932 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
933 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
937 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
940 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
941 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
944 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
945 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
947 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
948 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
951 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
953 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
954 - added tests for this (stevan)
956 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
957 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
958 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
959 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
963 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
964 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
965 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
966 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
968 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
969 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
970 - added tests for this (rafl)
972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
973 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
974 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
975 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
979 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
980 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
983 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
984 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
985 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
987 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
989 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
990 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
993 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
994 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
995 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
996 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
998 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
999 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1000 error message did not specify the attribute name
1003 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1005 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1007 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1008 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1009 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1011 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1012 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1015 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1017 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1018 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1019 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1020 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1022 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1024 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1025 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1026 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1027 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1029 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1030 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1031 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1033 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1034 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1035 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1036 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1037 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1039 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1040 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1041 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1042 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1043 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1045 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1046 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1047 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1048 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1049 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1050 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1052 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1053 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1054 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1055 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1056 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1057 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1059 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1060 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1062 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1063 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1064 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1065 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1067 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1068 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1071 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1075 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1076 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1078 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1079 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1080 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1081 guts. (nothingmuch).
1083 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1084 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1085 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1087 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1088 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1089 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1090 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1092 * Moose::Meta::Class
1093 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1096 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1097 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1099 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1100 * Moose::Unsweetened
1101 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1104 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1105 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1106 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1107 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1108 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1109 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1111 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1112 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1113 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1114 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1115 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1116 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1117 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1118 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1119 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1120 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1122 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1124 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1125 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1127 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1128 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1129 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1130 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1132 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1133 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1134 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1135 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1136 same methods for a single role did not work
1137 right (worked just fine with multiple
1139 - added test for this (stevan)
1141 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1142 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1143 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1146 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1147 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1148 - added test for this (t0m)
1151 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1152 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1153 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1155 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1156 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1157 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1158 - added test for this (t0m)
1160 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1161 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1162 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1163 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1164 - added test for this (perigrin)
1167 - create method for constructing a role
1168 dynamically (Sartak)
1169 - added test for this (Sartak)
1170 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1171 - added test for this (Sartak)
1174 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1176 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1177 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1178 methods is useful (Sartak)
1180 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1181 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1182 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1185 * Moose::Meta::Class
1186 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1187 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1188 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1189 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1190 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1191 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1194 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1195 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1197 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1198 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1199 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1200 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1201 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1203 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1205 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1206 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1207 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1210 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1211 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1212 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1213 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1214 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1215 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1218 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1219 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1220 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1221 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1222 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1223 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1224 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1225 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1226 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1227 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1228 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1230 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1231 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1234 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1235 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1236 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1237 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1238 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1240 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1242 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1243 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1244 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1246 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1247 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1249 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1250 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1251 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1252 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1255 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1256 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1258 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1260 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1261 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1263 * Moose::Meta::Class
1264 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1265 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1266 a required attribute
1268 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1269 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1270 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1271 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1273 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1274 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1276 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1277 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1278 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1279 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1280 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1281 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1282 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1283 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1285 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1286 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1287 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1289 * Roles and role application
1290 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1291 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1292 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1293 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1294 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1296 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1297 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1300 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1301 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1302 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1303 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1304 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1307 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1308 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1309 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1310 changes in the Moose internals.
1312 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1314 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1317 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1318 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1319 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1320 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1322 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1323 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1324 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1325 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1327 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1328 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1329 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1330 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1331 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1332 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1333 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1334 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1335 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1336 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1337 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1338 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1339 constraint implementations.
1341 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1345 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1346 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1347 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1348 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1349 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1350 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1351 - added tests for this (rafl)
1353 * Moose::Meta::Class
1354 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1355 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1356 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1357 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1358 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1359 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1360 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1361 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1364 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1365 - added tests for this (thepler)
1367 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1368 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1369 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1370 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1373 * Moose::Meta::Class
1374 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1375 * Moose::Meta::Method
1378 * Moose::Error::Default
1379 * Moose::Error::Croak
1380 * Moose::Error::Confess
1381 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1382 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1383 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1384 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1385 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1386 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1388 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1390 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1391 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1393 * Moose::Unsweetened
1394 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1395 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1396 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1399 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1400 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1401 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1402 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1405 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1406 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1408 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1409 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1410 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1411 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1437 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1438 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

1447 dependency to 0.64_07.
1449 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1450 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1451 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1453 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1454 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1457 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1458 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1459 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1460 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1461 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1462 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1465 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1467 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1469 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1470 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"

1487 - added test for this (t0m)
1489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1490 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1491 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1493 - added test for this (t0m)
1496 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1497 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1498 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1501 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1502 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1504 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

1507 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1509 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

1541 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1543 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1544 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1545 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1546 created so that the process can be more easily
1547 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

1581 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1582 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1584 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1585 ... this is not my day today ...
1587 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1588 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1589 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1590 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1591 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1594 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1595 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1596 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1597 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1598 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1601 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1603 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1604 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1633 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1636 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1637 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1638 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1639 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1640 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1641 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1642 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1643 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1644 - added tests for this
1646 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1647 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1648 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1744 method for immutablization to check if the
1745 destructor object even needs to be created
1748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1749 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1750 - added more descriptive error message to help
1751 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1752 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1754 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1756 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1757 XS based functionality is now optional
1758 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1759 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1760 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1771 is currently not supported in roles,
1772 but, ... patches welcome

1780 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1837 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1838 eating the $@ values, and so not
1839 working correctly, it still kind of
1840 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1841 - added tests for this
1843 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7

1863 drink more coffee before
1864 doing release engineering
1866 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1981 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1983 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2023 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2025 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2274 - added tests for this
2277 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2278 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2320 - fixed how required methods are handled
2321 when they encounter overriden or modified
2322 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2323 - added tests for this
2325 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2326 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2327 the | always creates a union and so is
2328 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2329 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2331 - added more tests for this
2333 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2336 * Parameterized Types
2337 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2338 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2339 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2340 They can also be nested:
2341 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2342 And work with the type unions as well:
2343 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2345 * Better Framework Extendability
2346 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2347 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2348 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2349 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2352 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2353 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2354 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2355 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2358 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2360 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2361 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2589 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2590 so that you can actually document your
2591 attributes and inspect them through the

2595 * Moose::Meta::Class
2596 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses

2602 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2603 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2604 - added test for this

2609 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2610 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2612 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2613 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2616 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2618 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2619 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2620 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2623 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2624 !! for this developer release to work !!
2626 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2627 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2628 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2629 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2630 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2631 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2632 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2633 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2634 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2635 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2636 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2638 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2639 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2640 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2641 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2644 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2645 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2646 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2647 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2648 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2650 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2652 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2653 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2656 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2657 called unless they actually need to be.
2658 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2659 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2660 DEMOLISH method present.
2662 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2663 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2664 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2665 type constraint, which allows for a
2666 hand optimized version of the type
2667 constraint to be used when possible.
2668 - Any internally created type constraints
2669 now provide an optimized version as well.
2671 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2673 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2674 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2675 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2677 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2678 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2679 your class namespace of these exported
2682 * Moose::Meta::Class
2683 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2684 comes up during global destruction
2686 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2690 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2693 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2694 - changed how we do type checks so that
2695 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2698 - moved accessor generation methods to
2699 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2700 conform to the API changes from
2703 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2704 - changed how constraints are compiled
2705 so that we do less recursion and more
2706 iteration. This makes the type check
2708 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2711 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2712 - created this from methods formerly found in
2713 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2715 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2716 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2719 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

2722 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2724 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2726 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2727 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2728 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2729 - added tests for this
2730 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2731 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2732 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2733 - removed tests for this
2735 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2737 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2738 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2739 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2742 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2743 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2744 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2746 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2747 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2748 comments for more info.
2751 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2752 asked questions and common problems
2754 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2755 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2756 - added tests for this
2758 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2759 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2760 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2761 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2763 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2764 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2767 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2768 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2769 is much appreciated :)
2770 - added tests for this
2772 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2773 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2774 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2777 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2778 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2780 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2782 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2783 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2787 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2788 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2789 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2791 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2793 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2796 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2797 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2798 keywords because we need to localize them.
2799 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2801 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2802 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2803 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2806 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2809 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2810 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2811 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2814 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2815 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2816 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2818 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2820 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2821 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2822 bottom of your class file.
2825 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2828 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2830 - improved error message when loading modules so
2831 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2832 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2833 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2836 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2837 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2838 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2840 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2841 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2843 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2844 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2845 turn them on for you.
2846 - added tests for this
2847 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2848 in Moose::Meta::Class
2851 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2852 automatically turned on for you.
2853 - added tests for this
2856 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2857 - added tests for this
2858 - added some more edge case tests

2871 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2874 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2875 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2876 - This release works in combination with
2877 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2878 release because it uses the a new
2879 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2880 complete Role implementation. It has
2881 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2882 the the previous CPAN version. This
2883 release also lacks good updated docs,
2884 the official release will have updated docs.
2887 - refactored the keyword exports
2888 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2889 accepts more than one Role at a time
2890 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2891 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2894 - refactored the keyword exports
2895 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2896 accepts more than one Role at a time
2898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2899 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2900 string enumerations which can be used as
2902 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2905 - more careful checking of params to new()
2908 - much work done on the role composition
2909 - many new tests for conflict detection
2910 and composition edge cases
2911 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2912 looking at the tests
2914 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2915 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2916 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2918 * Moose::Meta::Class
2919 - some small changes to support the new
2921 - some small additions to support Roles
2923 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2924 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2926 - some small changes to support the new
2928 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2929 with the 'handles' option
2930 - added several tests for this
2931 - no docs for this yet
2933 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2935 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2936 thanks to chansen for this commit
2937 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2938 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2939 on a per-attribute basis
2940 - added tests for this
2941 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2942 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2943 experimental feature and probably not finished
2944 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2945 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2946 - added tests for this
