1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * More deprecations and renamings
6 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
7 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
8 when an object is constructed)
12 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
13 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
14 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
16 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
17 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
18 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
19 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
20 message. Test provided by perigrin.
22 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
23 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
24 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
25 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
26 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
29 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
30 metaclass object. (hdp)
32 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
33 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
34 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
35 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
36 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
37 point out this fact. (hdp)
39 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
40 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
43 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
44 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
45 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
46 called during instance construction were passed the
47 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
48 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
50 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
51 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
54 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
55 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
56 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
59 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
60 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
61 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
62 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
63 them, but they are not for "public" use.
66 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
68 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
69 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
70 when an object is constructed)
71 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
73 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
74 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
75 when an object is constructed)
76 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
77 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
78 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
81 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
83 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
84 * No changes from 0.72_01.
86 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
88 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
89 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
90 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
92 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
93 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
94 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
96 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
98 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
99 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
101 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
102 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
105 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
106 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
109 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
110 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
111 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
113 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
114 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
118 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
119 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
120 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
122 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
123 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
126 * Moose::Manual::Delta
127 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
128 with recommended workarounds.
130 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
131 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
133 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
134 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
135 (yes, spelled like that).
137 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
138 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
141 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
142 changes in latest Class::MOP.
144 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
146 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
147 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
148 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
149 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
150 instead. Reported by doy.
152 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
154 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
155 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
157 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
158 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
159 message) is now deprecated.
160 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
161 often got it wrong. For example:
163 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
165 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
169 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
170 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
171 bite you in weird cases.
173 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
174 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
175 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
178 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
179 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
183 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
186 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
187 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
190 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
191 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
193 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
194 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
197 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
199 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
200 - added tests for this (stevan)
202 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
203 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
204 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
205 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
209 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
210 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
211 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
212 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
214 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
215 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
216 - added tests for this (rafl)
218 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
219 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
220 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
221 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
225 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
226 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
229 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
230 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
231 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
233 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
235 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
236 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
239 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
240 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
241 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
242 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
244 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
245 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
246 error message did not specify the attribute name
249 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
251 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
253 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
254 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
255 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
258 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
261 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
263 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
264 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
265 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
266 of fixes and formatting improvements.
268 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
270 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
271 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
272 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
273 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
275 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
276 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
277 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
280 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
281 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
282 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
283 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
285 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
286 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
287 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
288 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
289 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
291 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
292 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
293 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
294 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
295 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
296 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
298 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
299 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
300 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
301 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
302 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
303 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
305 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
306 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
308 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
309 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
310 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
311 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
313 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
314 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
317 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
321 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
322 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
324 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
325 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
326 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
329 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
331 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
334 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
335 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
336 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
339 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
342 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
343 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
345 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
347 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
350 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
351 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
352 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
353 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
354 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
355 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
357 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
358 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
359 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
360 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
361 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
362 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
363 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
364 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
365 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
366 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
368 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
370 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
371 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
373 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
374 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
375 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
376 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
378 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
379 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
380 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
381 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
382 same methods for a single role did not work
383 right (worked just fine with multiple
385 - added test for this (stevan)
387 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
388 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
389 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
392 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
393 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
394 - added test for this (t0m)
397 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
398 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
399 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
401 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
402 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
403 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
404 - added test for this (t0m)
406 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
407 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
408 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
409 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
410 - added test for this (perigrin)
413 - create method for constructing a role
415 - added test for this (Sartak)
416 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
417 - added test for this (Sartak)
420 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
422 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
423 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
424 methods is useful (Sartak)
426 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
427 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
428 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
432 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
433 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
434 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
435 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
436 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
437 - added tests for this (jdv79)
440 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
441 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
443 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
444 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
445 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
446 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
447 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
449 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
451 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
452 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
453 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
456 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
457 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
458 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
459 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
460 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
461 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
464 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
465 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
466 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
467 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
468 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
469 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
470 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
471 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
472 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
473 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
474 future. (jnapiorkowski)
476 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
477 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
480 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
481 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
482 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
483 type. (jnapiorkowski)
484 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
486 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
488 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
489 predicate, and link to more details sections in
490 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
492 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
493 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
495 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
496 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
497 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
498 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
501 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
502 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
504 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
506 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
507 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
510 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
511 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
514 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
515 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
516 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
517 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
519 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
520 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
522 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
523 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
524 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
525 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
526 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
527 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
528 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
529 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
531 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
532 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
533 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
535 * Roles and role application
536 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
537 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
538 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
539 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
540 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
542 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
543 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
546 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
547 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
548 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
549 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
550 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
553 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
554 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
555 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
556 changes in the Moose internals.
558 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
559 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
560 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
563 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
564 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
565 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
566 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
568 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
569 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
570 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
571 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
573 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
574 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
575 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
576 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
577 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
578 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
579 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
580 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
581 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
582 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
583 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
584 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
585 constraint implementations.
587 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
591 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
592 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
593 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
594 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
595 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
596 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
597 - added tests for this (rafl)
600 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
601 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
602 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
603 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
604 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
605 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
606 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
607 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
610 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
611 - added tests for this (thepler)
613 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
614 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
615 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
616 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
620 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
621 * Moose::Meta::Method
624 * Moose::Error::Default
625 * Moose::Error::Croak
626 * Moose::Error::Confess
627 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
628 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
629 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
630 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
631 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
632 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
634 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
636 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
637 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
640 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
641 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
642 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
645 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
646 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
647 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
648 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
651 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
652 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
654 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
655 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
656 several major changes in this release of Moose.
657 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
660 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
662 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
663 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
665 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
670 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
671 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
673 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
675 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
676 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
677 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
678 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
679 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
680 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
700 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
703 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
704 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
705 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
706 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
707 coincidental exception. (t0m).
708 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
710 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry

732 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
733 - added test for this (t0m)
735 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

737 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
739 - added test for this (t0m)
742 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
743 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
744 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
747 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
748 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
750 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
752 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
755 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

830 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
831 ... this is not my day today ...
833 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
834 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
835 clone_and_inherit options still works for
836 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
837 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
840 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
841 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
842 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

844 the changes that I didn't include in the last
847 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
849 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
850 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

882 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
883 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
884 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
885 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
886 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
887 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
888 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
889 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
890 - added tests for this
892 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1227 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1229 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1401 - added this module (see above)
1403 * Moose::Meta::Class
1404 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called

1424 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1425 - added this module to support the refactor
1426 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1428 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1429 - refactored how these types are handled so they
1430 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
1434 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
1436 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1437 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
1438 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
1440 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

1474 - added tests for this
1476 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1477 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
1478 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
1481 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1482 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1483 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1484 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

1488 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1490 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

1498 - added docs for this
1500 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1501 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

1519 with work correctly.
1520 - added tests for this
1523 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1524 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
1527 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

1563 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1566 - fixed how required methods are handled
1567 when they encounter overriden or modified
1568 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1569 - added tests for this
1571 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1572 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1573 the | always creates a union and so is
1574 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1575 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1577 - added more tests for this
1579 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1582 * Parameterized Types
1583 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1584 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1585 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1586 They can also be nested:
1587 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1588 And work with the type unions as well:
1589 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1591 * Better Framework Extendability
1592 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1593 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1594 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1595 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1598 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1599 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1600 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1601 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1604 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1606 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1607 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
1610 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

1641 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
1642 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
1643 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
1645 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
1646 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

1656 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
1658 - added tests for this
1660 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

1666 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1667 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1669 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1670 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
1671 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
1672 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

1686 (thanks to shlomif).
1688 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1689 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
1690 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

1694 - added tests for this
1696 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1697 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1698 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

1739 (but not changing the handles option)
1740 - added tests and docs for this
1743 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1744 so that required methods can come from superclasses
1745 - adjusted tests for this
1747 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1749 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1755 the other side (perigrin)
1757 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1758 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1759 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1760 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1761 prototypes for functions
1762 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1763 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1773 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1776 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1777 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1778 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1779 - added tests for this
1781 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1783 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1804 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1805 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1807 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1808 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1809 so this release is just to fix that.
1812 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1813 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1814 (thanks to konobi for this)
1815 - added tests and docs
1817 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

1825 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1826 functions to facilitate introspection.
1828 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1829 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1830 to build the list of delegated methods
1831 correctly (and not override important
1832 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1834 - added tests and docs for this
1835 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1836 so that you can actually document your
1837 attributes and inspect them through the
1839 - added tests and docs for this
1841 * Moose::Meta::Class
1842 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1843 it will first look in for the class in the
1844 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1845 then default to just loading $name.
1846 - added tests and docs for this
1848 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1849 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1850 - added test for this
1853 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1854 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1855 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1856 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1858 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1859 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1862 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1864 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1865 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1866 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1869 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1870 !! for this developer release to work !!
1872 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1873 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1874 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1875 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1876 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1877 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1878 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1879 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1880 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1881 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1882 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1884 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1885 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1886 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1887 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1890 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1891 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1892 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1893 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1894 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1896 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1898 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1899 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1902 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1903 called unless they actually need to be.
1904 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1905 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1906 DEMOLISH method present.
1908 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1909 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1910 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1911 type constraint, which allows for a
1912 hand optimized version of the type
1913 constraint to be used when possible.
1914 - Any internally created type constraints
1915 now provide an optimized version as well.
1917 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1919 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1920 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1921 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1923 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1924 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1925 your class namespace of these exported
1928 * Moose::Meta::Class
1929 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1930 comes up during global destruction
1932 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1936 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1939 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1940 - changed how we do type checks so that
1941 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1944 - moved accessor generation methods to
1945 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1946 conform to the API changes from
1949 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1950 - changed how constraints are compiled
1951 so that we do less recursion and more
1952 iteration. This makes the type check
1954 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1957 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1958 - created this from methods formerly found in
1959 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1961 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1962 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1964 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1965 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1967 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1968 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1970 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1973 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1974 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1975 - added tests for this
1976 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1977 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1978 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1979 - removed tests for this
1981 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1983 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1984 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1985 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1988 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1989 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1990 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1992 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1993 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1994 comments for more info.
1997 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1998 asked questions and common problems
2000 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2001 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2002 - added tests for this
2004 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2005 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2006 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2007 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2009 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2010 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2013 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2014 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2015 is much appreciated :)
2016 - added tests for this
2018 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2019 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2020 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2023 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2024 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2026 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2028 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2029 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2033 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2034 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2035 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2037 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2039 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2042 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2043 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2044 keywords because we need to localize them.
2045 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2047 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2048 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2049 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2052 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2055 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2056 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2057 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2060 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2061 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2062 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2064 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2066 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2067 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2068 bottom of your class file.
2071 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2074 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2076 - improved error message when loading modules so
2077 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2078 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2079 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2082 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2083 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2084 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2087 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2089 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2090 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2091 turn them on for you.
2092 - added tests for this
2093 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2094 in Moose::Meta::Class
2097 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2098 automatically turned on for you.
2099 - added tests for this
2102 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2103 - added tests for this
2104 - added some more edge case tests

2121 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2122 - This release works in combination with
2123 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2124 release because it uses the a new
2125 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2126 complete Role implementation. It has
2127 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2128 the the previous CPAN version. This
2129 release also lacks good updated docs,
2130 the official release will have updated docs.
2133 - refactored the keyword exports
2134 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2135 accepts more than one Role at a time
2136 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2137 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2140 - refactored the keyword exports
2141 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2142 accepts more than one Role at a time
2144 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2145 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2146 string enumerations which can be used as
2148 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2151 - more careful checking of params to new()
2154 - much work done on the role composition
2155 - many new tests for conflict detection
2156 and composition edge cases
2157 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2158 looking at the tests
2160 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2161 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2162 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2164 * Moose::Meta::Class
2165 - some small changes to support the new
2167 - some small additions to support Roles
2169 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2170 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2172 - some small changes to support the new
2174 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2175 with the 'handles' option
2176 - added several tests for this
2177 - no docs for this yet

2181 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2182 thanks to chansen for this commit
2183 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2184 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2185 on a per-attribute basis
2186 - added tests for this

2188 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2189 experimental feature and probably not finished
