1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
9 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
13 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
14 members, if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
15 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
16 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
17 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
18 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
20 * Using a regexp to define delegation for a class which was not yet loaded
21 caused an error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max
22 Kanat-Alexander. RT #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
24 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
25 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
27 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
32 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
33 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
35 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
39 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
40 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
41 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
43 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
47 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
48 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
49 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
51 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
52 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
55 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
56 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
59 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
60 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
61 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
63 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
64 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
69 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
70 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
71 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
74 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
75 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
77 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
78 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
80 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
81 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
82 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
85 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
86 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
87 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
90 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
91 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
92 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
93 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
95 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
96 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
99 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
100 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
101 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
103 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
107 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
108 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
109 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
111 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
112 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
113 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
116 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
117 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
118 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
120 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
121 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
122 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
124 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
125 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
129 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
130 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
131 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
133 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
134 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
135 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
136 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
138 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
142 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
143 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
144 value is a reference.
146 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
147 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
149 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
153 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
154 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
155 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
157 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
161 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
162 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
166 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
167 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
168 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
170 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
171 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
172 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
174 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
178 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
180 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
184 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
186 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
187 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
192 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
193 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
195 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
196 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
197 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
198 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
199 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
201 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
202 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
203 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
204 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
206 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
210 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
211 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
216 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
218 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
220 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
225 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
227 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
231 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
232 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
233 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
235 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
236 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
237 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
238 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
240 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
241 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
242 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
243 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
244 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
247 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
252 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
253 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
254 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
255 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
256 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
259 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
263 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
266 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
267 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
271 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
272 function (not just method). (doy)
276 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
277 and aren't easily installable/testable.
279 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
283 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
284 to be overridden more easily (doy).
286 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
290 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
291 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
293 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
297 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
298 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
299 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
301 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
305 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
306 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
307 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
309 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
310 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
314 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
315 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
317 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
318 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
322 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
323 is applied to a class (t0m).
325 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
326 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
328 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
331 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
332 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
334 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
335 be much more robust. (doy)
337 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
339 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
342 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
346 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
347 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
349 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
353 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
354 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
356 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
359 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
360 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
361 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
363 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
364 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
365 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
368 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
370 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
374 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
375 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
379 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
381 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
385 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
386 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
390 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
391 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
395 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
397 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
401 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
402 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
406 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
407 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
411 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
412 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
414 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
418 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
419 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
420 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
423 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
427 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
428 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
429 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
430 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
432 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
436 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
437 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
438 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
442 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
445 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
449 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
450 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
451 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
455 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
456 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
458 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
459 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
460 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
461 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
463 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
467 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
471 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
472 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
474 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
475 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
476 - Moose::Util::does_role
477 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
478 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
479 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
481 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
485 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
486 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
487 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
490 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
494 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
495 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
498 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
502 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
503 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
506 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
510 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
512 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
513 class. (Dave Rolsky).
515 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
516 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
517 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
519 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
520 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
521 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
524 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
525 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
527 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
528 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
529 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
531 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
533 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
534 substr et al, again. (sorear)
536 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
538 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
541 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
542 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
544 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
545 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
547 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
548 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
549 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
550 dependencies installed.
552 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
553 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
556 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
558 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
562 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
565 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
566 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
568 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
569 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
570 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
572 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
573 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
576 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
577 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
578 others. (nothingmuch)
580 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
581 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
582 remove_accessors. (doy)
584 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
585 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
586 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
588 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
589 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
591 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
592 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
593 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
594 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
597 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
598 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
600 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
601 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
603 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
605 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
606 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
609 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
610 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
611 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
612 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
613 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
615 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
616 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
617 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
618 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
619 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
620 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
621 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
624 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
625 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
626 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
627 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
628 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
630 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
631 which were not receiving the value of
632 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
633 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
634 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
635 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
639 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
640 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
641 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
642 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
643 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
646 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
647 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
648 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
649 - added tests for this (Stevan)
652 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
653 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
654 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
657 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
658 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
659 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
661 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
662 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
663 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
666 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
667 class if you pass it options for
668 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
669 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
670 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
671 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
672 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
673 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
674 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
675 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
676 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
678 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
679 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
680 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
681 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
682 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
685 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
686 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
687 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
688 existing delegation API. (hdp)
690 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
691 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
692 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
693 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
694 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
695 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
698 * Moose::Error::Croak
699 * Moose::Error::Confess
700 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
701 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
704 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
707 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
708 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
709 installing a broken sub. (doy)
712 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
715 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
716 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
717 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
719 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
720 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
721 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
722 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
723 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
725 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
726 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
729 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
731 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
732 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
735 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
736 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
738 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
739 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
740 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
741 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
743 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
744 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
745 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
746 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
747 using it for new code!
749 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
750 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
751 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
752 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
754 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
755 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
756 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
757 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
758 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
759 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
760 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
761 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
764 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
767 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
768 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
771 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
772 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
774 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
775 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
776 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
779 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
780 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
781 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
784 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
785 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
787 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
788 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
789 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
792 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
793 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
794 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
795 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
796 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
797 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
799 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
801 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
804 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
805 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
806 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
808 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
809 associated_methods. (hdp)
810 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
811 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
812 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
813 misspelled) arguments
815 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
816 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
817 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
818 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
820 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
821 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
822 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
824 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
827 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
828 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
829 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
832 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
833 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
835 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
837 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
838 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
840 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
841 * Moose::Manual::Types
842 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
843 string parsing rathole (mst)
845 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
846 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
847 using plain objects instead
849 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
850 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
853 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
855 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
856 three times today (perigrin)
857 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
858 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
860 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
861 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
862 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
863 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
866 - A role's required methods are now represented by
867 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
868 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
869 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
870 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
871 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
874 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
875 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
876 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
877 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
880 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
882 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
885 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
887 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
890 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
891 during global destruction. This method has been made more
892 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
896 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
897 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
900 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
901 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
903 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
904 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
905 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
908 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
910 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
911 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
914 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
918 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
919 methods during global destruction (doy)
922 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
923 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
927 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
928 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
931 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
932 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
935 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
936 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
938 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
940 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
944 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
945 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
946 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
949 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
950 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
951 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
954 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
956 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
957 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
958 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
961 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
962 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
963 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
964 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
966 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
967 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
968 of the Moose core (Sartak)
971 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
974 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
975 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
976 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
980 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
981 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
984 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
986 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
989 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
990 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
993 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
994 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
997 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
998 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1001 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1004 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1006 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1007 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1010 * Moose::Meta::Class
1011 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1013 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1014 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1017 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1018 * More deprecations and renamings
1019 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1020 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1021 when an object is constructed)
1024 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1025 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1026 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1028 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1029 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1030 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1031 feature, and it works again.
1034 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1036 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1038 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1039 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1040 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1042 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1043 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1044 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1045 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1046 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1048 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1049 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1050 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1051 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1052 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1055 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1056 metaclass object. (hdp)
1058 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1059 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1060 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1061 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1062 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1063 point out this fact. (hdp)
1065 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1066 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1068 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1069 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1071 * Moose::Meta::Class
1072 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1073 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1074 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1075 called during instance construction were passed the
1076 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1077 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1079 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1080 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1083 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1084 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1085 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1088 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1089 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1090 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1091 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1092 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1094 - Moose::Meta::Class
1095 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1097 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1098 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1099 when an object is constructed)
1100 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1102 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1103 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1104 when an object is constructed)
1105 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1106 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1107 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1110 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1112 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1113 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1115 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1117 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1118 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1119 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1121 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1122 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1123 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1125 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1127 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1128 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1130 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1131 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1134 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1135 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1138 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1139 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1140 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1142 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1143 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1147 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1148 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1149 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1151 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1152 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1155 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1156 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1157 with recommended workarounds.
1159 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1160 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1162 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1163 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1164 (yes, spelled like that).
1166 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1167 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1169 * Moose::Meta::Class
1170 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1171 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1173 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1175 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1176 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1177 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1178 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1179 instead. Reported by doy.
1181 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1183 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1184 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1186 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1187 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1188 message) is now deprecated.
1189 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1190 often got it wrong. For example:
1192 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1194 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1198 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1199 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1200 bite you in weird cases.
1202 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1203 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1204 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1205 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1207 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1208 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1212 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1215 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1216 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1219 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1220 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1222 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1223 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1226 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1228 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1229 - added tests for this (stevan)
1231 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1232 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1233 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1234 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1238 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1239 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1240 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1241 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1243 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1244 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1245 - added tests for this (rafl)
1247 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1248 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1249 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1250 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1254 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1255 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1258 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1259 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1260 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1262 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1264 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1265 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1267 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1268 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1269 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1270 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1271 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1273 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1274 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1275 error message did not specify the attribute name
1278 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1280 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1282 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1283 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1284 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1286 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1287 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1290 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1292 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1293 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1294 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1295 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1297 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1299 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1300 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1301 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1302 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1305 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1306 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1308 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1309 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1310 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1311 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1312 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1314 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1315 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1316 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1317 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1318 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1320 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1321 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1322 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1323 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1324 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1325 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1327 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1328 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1329 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1330 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1331 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1332 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1334 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1335 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1337 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1338 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1339 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1340 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1342 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1343 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1346 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1350 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1351 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1353 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1354 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1355 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1356 guts. (nothingmuch).
1358 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1359 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1360 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1362 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1363 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1364 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1365 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1367 * Moose::Meta::Class
1368 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1371 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1372 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1374 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1375 * Moose::Unsweetened
1376 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1379 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1380 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1381 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1382 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1383 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1384 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1386 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1387 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1388 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1389 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1390 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1391 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1392 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1393 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1394 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1395 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1397 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1399 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1400 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1402 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1403 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1404 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1405 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1407 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1408 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1409 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1410 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1411 same methods for a single role did not work
1412 right (worked just fine with multiple
1414 - added test for this (stevan)
1416 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1417 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1418 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1421 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1422 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1423 - added test for this (t0m)
1426 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1427 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1428 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1430 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1431 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1432 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1433 - added test for this (t0m)
1435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1436 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1437 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1438 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1439 - added test for this (perigrin)
1442 - create method for constructing a role
1443 dynamically (Sartak)
1444 - added test for this (Sartak)
1445 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1446 - added test for this (Sartak)
1449 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1451 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1452 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1453 methods is useful (Sartak)
1455 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1456 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1457 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1460 * Moose::Meta::Class
1461 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1462 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1463 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1464 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1465 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1466 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1469 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1470 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1472 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1473 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1474 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1475 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1476 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1478 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1480 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1481 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1482 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1485 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1486 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1487 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1488 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1489 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1490 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1493 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1494 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1495 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1496 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1497 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1498 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1499 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1500 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1501 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1502 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1503 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1505 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1506 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1509 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1510 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1511 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1512 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1513 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1515 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1517 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1518 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1519 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1521 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1522 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1524 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1525 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1526 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1527 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1530 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1531 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1533 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1535 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1536 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1538 * Moose::Meta::Class
1539 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1540 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1541 a required attribute
1543 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1544 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1545 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1546 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1548 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1549 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1551 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1552 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1553 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1554 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1555 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1556 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1557 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1558 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1560 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1561 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1562 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1564 * Roles and role application
1565 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1566 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1567 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1568 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1569 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1571 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1572 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1575 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1576 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1577 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1578 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1579 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1582 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1583 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1584 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1585 changes in the Moose internals.
1587 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1588 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1589 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1592 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1593 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1594 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1595 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1597 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1598 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1599 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1600 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1603 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1604 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1605 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1606 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1607 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1608 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1609 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1610 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1611 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1612 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1613 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1614 constraint implementations.
1616 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1620 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1621 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1622 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1623 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1624 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1625 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1626 - added tests for this (rafl)
1628 * Moose::Meta::Class
1629 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1630 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1631 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1632 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1633 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1634 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1635 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1636 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1639 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1640 - added tests for this (thepler)
1642 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1643 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1644 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1645 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1648 * Moose::Meta::Class
1649 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1650 * Moose::Meta::Method
1653 * Moose::Error::Default
1654 * Moose::Error::Croak
1655 * Moose::Error::Confess
1656 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1657 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1658 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1659 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1660 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1661 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1663 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1665 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1666 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1668 * Moose::Unsweetened
1669 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1670 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1671 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1673 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1674 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1675 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1676 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1677 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1680 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1681 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1683 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1684 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1685 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1686 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1689 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1691 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1692 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1694 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1697 - Various bug fixes.
1699 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1700 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1702 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1704 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1705 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1706 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1707 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1708 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1709 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1711 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1712 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1713 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1715 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1716 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1717 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1720 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1721 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1722 dependency to 0.64_07.
1724 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1725 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1726 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1728 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1729 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1732 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1733 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1734 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1735 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1736 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1737 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1739 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1740 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1742 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1744 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1745 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1749 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1750 method when that method was provided by another role being
1751 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1752 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1754 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1756 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1757 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1759 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1760 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1761 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1762 - added test for this (t0m)
1764 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1765 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1766 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1768 - added test for this (t0m)
1771 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1772 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1773 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1776 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1777 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1779 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1781 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1782 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1784 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1785 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1786 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1788 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1789 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1792 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1793 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1794 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1795 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1799 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1800 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1801 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1804 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1805 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1806 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1807 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1810 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1814 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1815 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1816 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1818 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1819 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1820 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1821 created so that the process can be more easily
1822 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1824 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1825 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1826 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1827 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1829 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1830 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1833 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1834 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1836 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1837 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1838 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1840 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1841 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1842 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1844 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1845 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1847 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1848 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1851 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1852 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1856 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1857 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1859 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1860 ... this is not my day today ...
1862 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1863 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1864 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1865 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1866 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1869 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1870 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1871 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1872 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1873 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1876 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1878 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1879 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1880 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1881 this is not ever something you want to do
1882 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1883 - added tests for this (stevan)
1886 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1888 - added test for this
1890 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1891 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1892 - added tests for this (wreis)
1894 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1895 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1896 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1897 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1899 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1900 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1901 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1904 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1906 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1908 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1911 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1912 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1913 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1914 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1915 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1916 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1917 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1918 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1919 - added tests for this
1921 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1922 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1923 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1924 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1926 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1928 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1929 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1930 - added tests for this (sartak)
1931 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1932 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1935 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1937 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1938 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1940 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1941 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1942 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1943 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1945 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1947 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1948 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1951 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1952 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1953 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1955 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1956 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1957 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1959 - added docs for this (TODO).
1960 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1961 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1962 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1963 - fix builder and default both being used
1968 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1970 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1971 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1972 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1976 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1980 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1981 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1982 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1984 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1985 - move the ClassName type check code to
1986 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1988 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1989 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1991 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1992 (early morning release engineering)--
1994 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1995 which was causing the indexer to choke
1997 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1998 (late night release engineering)--
2000 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2001 changes in this release
2003 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2004 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2005 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2007 * Moose::Meta::Class
2008 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2009 since it is called so often by &meta
2011 * Moose::Meta::Class
2013 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2014 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2017 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2018 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2019 method for immutablization to check if the
2020 destructor object even needs to be created
2023 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2024 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2025 - added more descriptive error message to help
2026 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2027 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2029 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2031 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2032 XS based functionality is now optional
2033 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2034 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2035 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2037 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2038 to take care of this, mostly we added
2039 support for the package_name and name
2040 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2041 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2042 support regexp matching of names
2043 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2044 - tests added for this
2045 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2046 is currently not supported in roles,
2047 but, ... patches welcome
2048 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced

2110 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2112 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2113 eating the $@ values, and so not

2138 drink more coffee before
2139 doing release engineering
2141 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2256 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2258 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2302 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2303 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2596 when they encounter overriden or modified
2597 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2598 - added tests for this

2608 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2611 * Parameterized Types
2612 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2613 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2614 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2615 They can also be nested:
2616 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2617 And work with the type unions as well:
2618 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2620 * Better Framework Extendability
2621 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2622 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2623 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2624 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2627 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2628 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2629 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2630 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2762 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2763 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2764 to the 'handles' option.
2765 - added tests and docs for this

2788 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2789 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2790 prototypes for functions
2791 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2792 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2802 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2805 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2806 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2807 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2808 - added tests for this
2810 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2812 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2838 so this release is just to fix that.
2841 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2842 to create multiple attrs (see docs)

2864 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2865 so that you can actually document your
2866 attributes and inspect them through the

2873 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2874 then default to just loading $name.
2875 - added tests and docs for this
2877 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2878 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2879 - added test for this

2884 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2885 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2887 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2888 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2891 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2893 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2894 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2895 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2898 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2899 !! for this developer release to work !!
2901 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2902 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2903 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2904 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2905 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2906 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2907 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2908 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2909 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2910 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2911 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2913 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2914 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2915 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2916 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2919 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2920 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2921 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2922 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2923 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2925 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2927 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2928 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2931 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2932 called unless they actually need to be.
2933 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2934 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2935 DEMOLISH method present.
2937 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2938 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2939 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2940 type constraint, which allows for a
2941 hand optimized version of the type
2942 constraint to be used when possible.
2943 - Any internally created type constraints
2944 now provide an optimized version as well.
2946 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2948 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2949 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2950 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2953 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2954 your class namespace of these exported
2957 * Moose::Meta::Class
2958 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2959 comes up during global destruction
2961 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2965 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2968 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2969 - changed how we do type checks so that
2970 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2973 - moved accessor generation methods to
2974 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2975 conform to the API changes from
2978 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2979 - changed how constraints are compiled
2980 so that we do less recursion and more
2981 iteration. This makes the type check
2983 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2986 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2987 - created this from methods formerly found in
2988 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2990 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2991 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2993 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2994 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

3001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3002 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3003 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3004 - added tests for this
3005 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3006 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3007 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3008 - removed tests for this
3010 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3012 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3013 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3014 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3017 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3018 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3019 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3021 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3022 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3023 comments for more info.
3026 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3027 asked questions and common problems
3029 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3030 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3031 - added tests for this
3033 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3034 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3035 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3036 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3038 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3039 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3042 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3043 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3044 is much appreciated :)
3045 - added tests for this
3047 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3048 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3049 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3052 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3053 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3055 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3057 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3058 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3062 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3063 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3064 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3066 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3068 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3071 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3072 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3073 keywords because we need to localize them.
3074 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3076 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3077 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3078 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3081 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3084 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3085 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3086 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3089 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3090 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3091 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3093 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3095 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3096 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3097 bottom of your class file.
3100 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3103 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3105 - improved error message when loading modules so
3106 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3107 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3108 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3111 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3112 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3113 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3115 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3116 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3118 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3119 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3120 turn them on for you.
3121 - added tests for this

3150 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3151 - This release works in combination with
3152 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3153 release because it uses the a new
3154 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3155 complete Role implementation. It has
3156 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3157 the the previous CPAN version. This
3158 release also lacks good updated docs,
3159 the official release will have updated docs.
3162 - refactored the keyword exports
3163 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3164 accepts more than one Role at a time

3175 string enumerations which can be used as
3177 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3180 - more careful checking of params to new()
3183 - much work done on the role composition
3184 - many new tests for conflict detection
3185 and composition edge cases
3186 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3187 looking at the tests
3189 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3190 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3191 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3193 * Moose::Meta::Class

3201 - some small changes to support the new
3203 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3204 with the 'handles' option
3205 - added several tests for this
3206 - no docs for this yet

3210 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3211 thanks to chansen for this commit
3212 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3213 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3214 on a per-attribute basis
3215 - added tests for this
3216 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3217 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3218 experimental feature and probably not finished
