1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
4 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
5 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
6 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
9 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
10 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
11 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
12 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
14 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
15 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
16 of the Moose core (Sartak)
19 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
22 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
23 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
24 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
28 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
29 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
32 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
34 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
37 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
38 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
41 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
42 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
45 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
46 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
49 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
52 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
54 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
55 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
59 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
61 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
62 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
65 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
66 * More deprecations and renamings
67 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
68 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
69 when an object is constructed)
72 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
73 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
74 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
76 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
77 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
78 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
79 feature, and it works again.
82 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
84 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
86 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
87 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
88 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
90 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
91 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
92 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
93 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
94 message. Test provided by perigrin.
96 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
97 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
98 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
99 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
100 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
103 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
104 metaclass object. (hdp)
106 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
107 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
108 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
109 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
110 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
111 point out this fact. (hdp)
113 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
114 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
116 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
117 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
120 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
121 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
122 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
123 called during instance construction were passed the
124 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
125 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
127 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
128 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
131 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
132 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
133 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
136 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
137 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
138 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
139 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
140 them, but they are not for "public" use.
143 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
145 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
146 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
147 when an object is constructed)
148 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
150 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
151 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
152 when an object is constructed)
153 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
154 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
155 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
158 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
160 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
161 * No changes from 0.72_01.
163 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
165 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
166 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
167 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
169 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
170 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
171 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
173 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
175 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
176 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
178 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
179 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
182 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
183 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
186 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
187 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
188 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
190 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
191 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
195 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
196 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
197 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
199 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
200 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
203 * Moose::Manual::Delta
204 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
205 with recommended workarounds.
207 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
208 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
211 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
212 (yes, spelled like that).
214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
215 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
218 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
219 changes in latest Class::MOP.
221 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
223 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
224 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
225 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
226 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
227 instead. Reported by doy.
229 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
231 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
232 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
234 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
235 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
236 message) is now deprecated.
237 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
238 often got it wrong. For example:
240 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
242 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
246 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
247 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
248 bite you in weird cases.
250 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
251 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
252 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
255 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
256 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
260 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
263 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
264 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
267 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
268 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
270 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
271 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
274 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
275 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
276 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
277 - added tests for this (stevan)
279 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
280 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
281 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
282 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
286 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
287 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
288 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
289 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
291 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
292 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
293 - added tests for this (rafl)
295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
296 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
297 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
298 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
302 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
303 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
306 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
307 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
308 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
310 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
312 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
313 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
316 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
317 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
318 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
319 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
321 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
322 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
323 error message did not specify the attribute name
326 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
328 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
330 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
331 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
332 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
334 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
335 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
338 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
340 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
341 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
342 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
343 of fixes and formatting improvements.
345 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
347 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
348 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
349 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
350 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
352 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
353 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
354 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
356 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
357 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
358 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
359 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
360 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
362 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
363 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
364 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
365 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
366 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
368 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
369 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
370 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
371 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
372 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
373 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
375 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
376 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
377 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
378 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
379 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
380 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
382 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
383 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
385 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
386 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
387 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
388 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
390 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
391 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
394 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
398 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
399 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
401 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
402 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
403 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
406 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
408 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
411 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
412 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
413 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
416 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
419 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
420 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
422 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
424 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
427 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
428 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
429 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
430 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
431 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
432 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
435 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
436 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
437 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
438 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
439 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
440 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
441 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
442 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
443 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
445 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
447 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
448 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
450 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
451 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
452 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
453 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
455 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
456 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
457 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
458 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
459 same methods for a single role did not work
460 right (worked just fine with multiple
462 - added test for this (stevan)
464 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
465 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
466 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
469 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
470 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
471 - added test for this (t0m)
474 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
475 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
476 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
478 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
479 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
480 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
481 - added test for this (t0m)
483 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
484 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
485 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
486 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
487 - added test for this (perigrin)
490 - create method for constructing a role
492 - added test for this (Sartak)
493 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
494 - added test for this (Sartak)
497 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
499 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
500 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
501 methods is useful (Sartak)
503 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
505 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
509 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
510 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
511 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
512 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
513 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
514 - added tests for this (jdv79)
517 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
518 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
520 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
521 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
522 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
523 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
524 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
526 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
528 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
529 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
530 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
533 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
534 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
535 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
536 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
537 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
538 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
541 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
542 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
543 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
544 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
545 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
546 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
547 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
548 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
549 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
550 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
551 future. (jnapiorkowski)
553 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
554 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
557 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
558 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
559 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
560 type. (jnapiorkowski)
561 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
563 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
565 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
566 predicate, and link to more details sections in
567 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
569 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
570 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
572 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
573 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
574 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
575 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
578 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
579 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
581 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
583 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
584 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
587 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
588 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
591 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
592 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
593 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
594 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
596 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
597 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
600 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
601 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
602 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
603 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
604 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
605 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
606 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
608 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
609 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
610 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
612 * Roles and role application
613 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
614 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
615 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
616 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
617 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
619 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
620 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
623 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
624 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
625 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
626 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
627 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
630 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
631 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
632 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
633 changes in the Moose internals.
635 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
636 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
637 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
640 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
641 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
642 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
643 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
645 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
646 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
647 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
648 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
650 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
651 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
652 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
653 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
654 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
655 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
656 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
657 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
658 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
659 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
660 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
661 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
662 constraint implementations.
664 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
668 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
669 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
670 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
671 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
672 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
673 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
674 - added tests for this (rafl)
677 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
678 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
679 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
680 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
681 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
682 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
683 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
684 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
687 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
688 - added tests for this (thepler)
690 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
691 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
692 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
693 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
697 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
698 * Moose::Meta::Method
701 * Moose::Error::Default
702 * Moose::Error::Croak
703 * Moose::Error::Confess
704 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
705 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
706 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
707 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
708 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
709 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
711 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
713 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
714 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
717 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
718 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
719 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
722 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
723 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
724 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
725 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
728 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
729 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
731 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
732 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
733 several major changes in this release of Moose.
734 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
777 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
780 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
781 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
782 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
783 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
784 coincidental exception. (t0m).
785 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
787 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
788 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
790 - added docs & test for this (t0m)

809 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
810 - added test for this (t0m)
812 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
813 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
814 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
816 - added test for this (t0m)
819 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
820 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
821 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
824 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
825 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
827 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
829 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
832 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
833 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
834 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
836 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

877 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
878 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
881 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
882 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)

905 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
907 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
908 ... this is not my day today ...
910 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
911 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
912 clone_and_inherit options still works for
913 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
914 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
917 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
918 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
919 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
920 in this release, except the fact that it includes
921 the changes that I didn't include in the last
924 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
926 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
927 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
928 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
929 this is not ever something you want to do
930 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

956 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
959 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
960 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
961 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
962 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
963 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
964 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
965 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
966 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
967 - added tests for this
969 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
970 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
971 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1079 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1080 XS based functionality is now optional
1081 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1082 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1083 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1085 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1086 to take care of this, mostly we added
1087 support for the package_name and name
1088 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1089 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1090 support regexp matching of names
1091 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1092 - tests added for this
1093 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1094 is currently not supported in roles,
1095 but, ... patches welcome

1186 drink more coffee before
1187 doing release engineering
1189 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1190 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1191 modules. This fixes that.

1304 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1306 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1511 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
1513 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1514 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

1555 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
1558 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1559 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1560 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1561 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

1577 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1578 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

1597 - added tests for this
1600 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1601 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1640 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1643 - fixed how required methods are handled
1644 when they encounter overriden or modified
1645 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1646 - added tests for this
1648 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1649 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1650 the | always creates a union and so is
1651 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1652 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1654 - added more tests for this
1656 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1659 * Parameterized Types
1660 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1661 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1662 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1663 They can also be nested:
1664 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1665 And work with the type unions as well:
1666 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1668 * Better Framework Extendability
1669 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1670 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1671 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1672 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1675 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1676 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1677 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1678 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1681 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1683 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1684 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
1687 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

1744 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1746 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

1912 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1913 so that you can actually document your
1914 attributes and inspect them through the

1918 * Moose::Meta::Class
1919 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1920 it will first look in for the class in the
1921 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1922 then default to just loading $name.
1923 - added tests and docs for this
1925 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1926 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1927 - added test for this
1930 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

1932 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1933 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1935 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1936 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1939 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1941 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1942 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1943 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1946 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1947 !! for this developer release to work !!
1949 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1950 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1951 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1952 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1953 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1954 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1955 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1956 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1957 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1958 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1959 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1961 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1962 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1963 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1964 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1967 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1968 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1969 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1970 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1971 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1973 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1975 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1976 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1979 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1980 called unless they actually need to be.
1981 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1982 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1983 DEMOLISH method present.
1985 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1986 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1987 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1988 type constraint, which allows for a
1989 hand optimized version of the type
1990 constraint to be used when possible.
1991 - Any internally created type constraints
1992 now provide an optimized version as well.
1994 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1996 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1997 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1998 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2000 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2001 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2002 your class namespace of these exported
2005 * Moose::Meta::Class

2018 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2021 - moved accessor generation methods to
2022 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2023 conform to the API changes from
2026 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2027 - changed how constraints are compiled
2028 so that we do less recursion and more
2029 iteration. This makes the type check
2031 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2034 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2035 - created this from methods formerly found in
2036 Moose::Meta::Attribute

2050 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2051 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2052 - added tests for this
2053 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2054 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2055 broke predicates in an ugly way.

2058 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2060 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order

2062 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2065 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2066 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2067 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2069 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2070 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2071 comments for more info.
2074 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2075 asked questions and common problems
2077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2078 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2079 - added tests for this
2081 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2082 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2083 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2084 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2086 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2087 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2090 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2091 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2092 is much appreciated :)
2093 - added tests for this
2095 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2096 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2097 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2100 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2101 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2103 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2105 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2106 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2110 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2111 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2112 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2114 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2116 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2119 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2120 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2121 keywords because we need to localize them.
2122 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2124 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2125 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2126 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2129 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2132 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2133 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2134 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2137 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2138 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2139 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2141 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2143 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2144 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2145 bottom of your class file.
2148 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2151 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2153 - improved error message when loading modules so
2154 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2155 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2156 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2159 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2160 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2161 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2164 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2166 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2167 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2168 turn them on for you.
2169 - added tests for this
2170 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2171 in Moose::Meta::Class
2174 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2175 automatically turned on for you.

2179 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2180 - added tests for this

2194 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2197 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2198 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2199 - This release works in combination with
2200 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2201 release because it uses the a new
2202 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2203 complete Role implementation. It has
2204 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2205 the the previous CPAN version. This
2206 release also lacks good updated docs,
2207 the official release will have updated docs.
2210 - refactored the keyword exports
2211 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2212 accepts more than one Role at a time
2213 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2214 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2217 - refactored the keyword exports
2218 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2219 accepts more than one Role at a time
2221 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2222 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2223 string enumerations which can be used as
2225 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2228 - more careful checking of params to new()
2231 - much work done on the role composition
2232 - many new tests for conflict detection
2233 and composition edge cases
2234 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2235 looking at the tests
2237 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2238 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2239 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2241 * Moose::Meta::Class
2242 - some small changes to support the new
2244 - some small additions to support Roles
2246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2247 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2249 - some small changes to support the new
2251 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2252 with the 'handles' option
2253 - added several tests for this
2254 - no docs for this yet
2256 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2258 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2259 thanks to chansen for this commit
2260 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2261 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2262 on a per-attribute basis
2263 - added tests for this
2264 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2265 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2266 experimental feature and probably not finished

2331 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2333 - added test for this
