1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
7 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
8 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
10 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
11 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
15 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
16 is applied to a class (t0m).
18 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
19 twice in the same sentance (Florian Ragwitz).
21 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
25 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
26 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
28 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
32 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
33 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
35 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
38 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
39 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
40 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
42 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
43 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
44 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
47 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
49 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
53 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
54 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
58 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
60 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
64 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
65 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
69 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
70 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
74 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
80 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
81 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
85 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
86 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
90 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
91 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
93 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
97 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
98 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
99 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
102 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
106 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
107 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
108 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
109 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
111 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
115 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
116 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
117 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
121 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
124 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
129 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
130 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
134 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
135 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
137 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
138 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
139 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
140 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
142 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
146 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
150 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
151 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
153 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
154 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
155 - Moose::Util::does_role
156 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
157 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
158 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
160 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
164 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
165 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
166 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
169 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
173 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
174 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
177 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
181 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
182 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
185 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
189 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
191 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
192 class. (Dave Rolsky).
194 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
195 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
196 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
198 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
199 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
200 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
203 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
204 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
206 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
207 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
208 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
210 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
212 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
213 substr et al, again. (sorear)
215 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
217 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
220 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
221 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
223 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
224 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
226 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
227 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
228 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
229 dependencies installed.
231 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
232 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
235 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
237 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
241 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
244 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
245 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
247 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
248 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
249 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
251 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
252 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
255 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
256 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
257 others. (nothingmuch)
259 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
260 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
261 remove_accessors. (doy)
263 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
264 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
265 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
267 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
268 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
270 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
271 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
272 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
273 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
276 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
277 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
279 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
280 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
282 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
284 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
285 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
289 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
290 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
291 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
292 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
294 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
297 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
298 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
299 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
300 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
303 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
304 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
305 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
306 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
307 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
309 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
310 which were not receiving the value of
311 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
312 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
313 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
314 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
318 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
319 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
320 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
321 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
322 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
326 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
327 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
328 - added tests for this (Stevan)
331 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
332 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
333 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
336 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
338 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
340 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
341 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
342 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
345 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
346 class if you pass it options for
347 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
348 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
349 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
350 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
351 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
352 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
353 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
354 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
355 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
357 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
358 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
359 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
360 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
361 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
364 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
365 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
366 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
367 existing delegation API. (hdp)
369 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
370 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
371 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
372 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
373 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
374 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
377 * Moose::Error::Croak
378 * Moose::Error::Confess
379 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
380 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
383 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
386 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
387 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
388 installing a broken sub. (doy)
391 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
394 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
395 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
396 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
398 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
399 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
400 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
401 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
402 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
404 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
405 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
408 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
410 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
411 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
414 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
415 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
417 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
418 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
419 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
420 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
422 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
423 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
424 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
425 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
426 using it for new code!
428 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
429 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
430 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
431 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
433 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
434 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
435 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
436 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
437 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
438 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
439 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
440 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
443 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
446 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
447 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
450 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
451 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
453 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
454 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
455 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
459 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
460 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
463 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
464 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
466 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
467 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
468 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
471 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
472 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
473 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
474 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
475 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
476 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
478 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
480 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
483 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
484 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
485 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
487 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
488 associated_methods. (hdp)
489 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
490 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
491 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
492 misspelled) arguments
494 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
495 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
496 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
497 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
500 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
501 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
503 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
506 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
507 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
508 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
511 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
512 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
514 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
516 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
517 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
519 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
520 * Moose::Manual::Types
521 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
522 string parsing rathole (mst)
524 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
525 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
526 using plain objects instead
528 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
529 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
532 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
534 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
535 three times today (perigrin)
536 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
537 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
539 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
540 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
541 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
542 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
545 - A role's required methods are now represented by
546 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
547 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
548 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
549 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
550 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
553 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
554 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
555 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
556 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
559 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
561 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
564 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
566 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
569 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
570 during global destruction. This method has been made more
571 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
575 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
576 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
579 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
580 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
582 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
583 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
584 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
587 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
589 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
590 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
593 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
597 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
598 methods during global destruction (doy)
601 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
602 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
606 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
607 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
610 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
611 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
614 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
615 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
617 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
619 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
623 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
624 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
625 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
628 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
629 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
630 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
633 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
635 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
636 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
637 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
640 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
641 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
642 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
643 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
645 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
646 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
647 of the Moose core (Sartak)
650 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
653 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
654 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
655 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
659 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
660 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
663 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
665 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
668 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
669 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
672 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
673 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
676 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
677 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
680 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
683 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
685 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
686 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
690 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
692 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
693 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
696 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
697 * More deprecations and renamings
698 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
699 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
700 when an object is constructed)
703 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
704 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
705 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
707 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
708 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
709 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
710 feature, and it works again.
713 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
715 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
717 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
718 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
719 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
721 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
722 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
723 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
724 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
725 message. Test provided by perigrin.
727 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
728 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
729 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
730 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
731 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
734 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
735 metaclass object. (hdp)
737 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
738 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
739 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
740 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
741 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
742 point out this fact. (hdp)
744 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
745 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
747 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
748 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
751 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
752 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
753 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
754 called during instance construction were passed the
755 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
756 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
758 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
759 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
762 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
763 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
764 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
767 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
768 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
769 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
770 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
771 them, but they are not for "public" use.
774 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
776 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
777 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
778 when an object is constructed)
779 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
781 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
782 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
783 when an object is constructed)
784 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
785 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
786 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
789 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
791 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
792 * No changes from 0.72_01.
794 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
796 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
797 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
798 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
800 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
801 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
802 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
804 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
806 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
807 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
809 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
810 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
813 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
814 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
817 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
818 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
819 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
821 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
822 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
826 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
827 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
828 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
830 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
831 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
834 * Moose::Manual::Delta
835 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
836 with recommended workarounds.
838 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
839 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
841 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
842 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
843 (yes, spelled like that).
845 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
846 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
849 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
850 changes in latest Class::MOP.
852 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
854 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
855 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
856 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
857 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
858 instead. Reported by doy.
860 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
862 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
863 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
865 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
866 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
867 message) is now deprecated.
868 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
869 often got it wrong. For example:
871 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
873 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
877 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
878 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
879 bite you in weird cases.
881 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
882 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
883 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
886 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
887 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
891 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
894 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
895 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
898 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
899 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
901 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
902 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
905 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
906 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
907 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
908 - added tests for this (stevan)
910 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
911 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
912 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
913 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
917 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
918 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
919 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
920 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
922 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
923 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
924 - added tests for this (rafl)
926 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
927 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
928 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
929 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
933 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
934 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
937 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
938 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
939 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
941 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
943 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
944 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
947 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
948 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
949 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
950 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
952 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
953 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
954 error message did not specify the attribute name
957 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
959 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
961 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
962 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
963 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
965 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
966 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
969 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
971 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
972 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
973 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
974 of fixes and formatting improvements.
976 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
978 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
979 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
980 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
981 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
984 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
985 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
987 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
988 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
989 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
990 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
991 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
993 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
994 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
995 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
996 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
997 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1000 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1001 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1002 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1003 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1004 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1006 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1007 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1008 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1009 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1010 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1011 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1013 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1014 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1016 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1017 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1018 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1019 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1021 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1022 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1025 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1029 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1030 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1032 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1033 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1034 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1035 guts. (nothingmuch).
1037 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1038 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1039 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1041 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1042 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1043 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1044 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1046 * Moose::Meta::Class
1047 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1050 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1051 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1053 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1054 * Moose::Unsweetened
1055 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1058 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1059 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1060 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1061 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1062 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1063 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1065 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1066 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1067 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1068 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1069 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1070 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1071 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1072 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1073 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1074 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1076 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1078 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1079 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1082 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1083 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1084 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1086 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1087 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1088 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1089 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1090 same methods for a single role did not work
1091 right (worked just fine with multiple
1093 - added test for this (stevan)
1095 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1096 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1097 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1100 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1101 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1102 - added test for this (t0m)
1105 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1106 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1107 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1110 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1111 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1112 - added test for this (t0m)
1114 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1115 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1116 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1117 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1118 - added test for this (perigrin)
1121 - create method for constructing a role
1122 dynamically (Sartak)
1123 - added test for this (Sartak)
1124 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1125 - added test for this (Sartak)
1128 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1130 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1131 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1132 methods is useful (Sartak)
1134 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1136 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1139 * Moose::Meta::Class
1140 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1141 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1142 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1143 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1144 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1145 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1148 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1149 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1151 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1152 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1153 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1154 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1155 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1157 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1159 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1160 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1161 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1164 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1165 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1166 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1167 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1168 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1169 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1172 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1173 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1174 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1175 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1176 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1177 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1178 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1179 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1180 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1181 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1182 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1184 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1185 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1188 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1189 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1190 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1191 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1192 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1194 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1196 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1197 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1198 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1200 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1201 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1203 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1204 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1205 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1206 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1209 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1210 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1212 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1214 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1215 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1217 * Moose::Meta::Class
1218 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1219 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1220 a required attribute
1222 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1224 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1225 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1227 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1228 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1231 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1232 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1233 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1234 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1235 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1236 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1237 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1239 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1240 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1241 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1243 * Roles and role application
1244 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1245 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1246 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1247 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1248 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1250 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1251 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1254 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1255 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1256 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1257 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1258 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1261 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1262 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1263 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1264 changes in the Moose internals.
1266 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1267 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1268 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1271 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1272 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1273 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1274 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1276 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1277 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1278 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1279 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1281 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1282 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1283 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1284 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1285 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1286 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1287 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1288 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1289 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1290 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1291 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1292 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1293 constraint implementations.
1295 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1299 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1300 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1301 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1302 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1303 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1304 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1305 - added tests for this (rafl)
1307 * Moose::Meta::Class
1308 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1309 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1310 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1311 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1312 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1313 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1314 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1315 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1318 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1319 - added tests for this (thepler)
1321 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1322 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1323 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1324 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1327 * Moose::Meta::Class
1328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1329 * Moose::Meta::Method
1332 * Moose::Error::Default
1333 * Moose::Error::Croak
1334 * Moose::Error::Confess
1335 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1336 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1337 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1338 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1339 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1340 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1342 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1344 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1345 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1347 * Moose::Unsweetened
1348 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1349 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1350 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1352 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1353 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1354 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1355 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1356 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1359 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1360 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1362 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1363 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1364 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1365 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1370 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1371 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1373 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1376 - Various bug fixes.

1411 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1412 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1413 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1414 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1415 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1416 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1418 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1419 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

1445 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1447 - added test for this (t0m)

1451 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1452 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1455 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1456 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1458 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

1461 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1463 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

1539 ... this is not my day today ...
1541 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1542 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1543 clone_and_inherit options still works for

1545 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1548 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1549 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1550 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

1555 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1557 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1558 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1590 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1591 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1592 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1593 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1594 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1595 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1596 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1597 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1598 - added tests for this
1600 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1601 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1602 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2073 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
2075 * Moose::Meta::Class
2076 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2077 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2078 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2079 method in the first place ;)
2081 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2082 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2083 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~

2089 - this release contains a major reworking and
2090 cleanup of the role system
2091 - 100% backwards compat.
2092 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2093 classes based on type of applicants
2094 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2095 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2096 used in this process
2097 - new Composite role metaclass
2098 - runtime application of roles to instances
2099 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2100 classes when applicable

2132 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2133 - added this module to support the refactor
2134 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2136 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2137 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2138 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2142 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2144 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2145 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2146 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2148 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2184 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2185 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2186 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2189 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2190 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2191 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2192 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2196 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2198 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2206 - added docs for this
2208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2209 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2210 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2211 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,

2227 with work correctly.
2228 - added tests for this
2231 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2232 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2235 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

2271 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2274 - fixed how required methods are handled
2275 when they encounter overriden or modified
2276 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2277 - added tests for this
2279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2280 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2281 the | always creates a union and so is
2282 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2283 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2285 - added more tests for this
2287 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2290 * Parameterized Types
2291 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2292 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2293 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2294 They can also be nested:
2295 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2296 And work with the type unions as well:
2297 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2299 * Better Framework Extendability
2300 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2301 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2302 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2303 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2306 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2307 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2308 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2309 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2312 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2314 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2315 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2318 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2374 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2375 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2377 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2447 (but not changing the handles option)
2448 - added tests and docs for this
2451 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2452 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2467 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2468 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2469 prototypes for functions
2470 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2471 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2481 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2484 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2485 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2486 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2487 - added tests for this
2489 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2491 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2517 so this release is just to fix that.
2520 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2521 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2522 (thanks to konobi for this)

2533 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2534 functions to facilitate introspection.
2536 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2537 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2538 to build the list of delegated methods
2539 correctly (and not override important
2540 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2542 - added tests and docs for this
2543 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2544 so that you can actually document your
2545 attributes and inspect them through the
2547 - added tests and docs for this
2549 * Moose::Meta::Class
2550 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2551 it will first look in for the class in the
2552 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2553 then default to just loading $name.
2554 - added tests and docs for this
2556 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2557 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2558 - added test for this
2561 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2562 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2563 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2564 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2566 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2567 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2570 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2572 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2573 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2574 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2577 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2578 !! for this developer release to work !!
2580 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2581 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2582 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2583 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2584 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2585 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2586 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2587 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2588 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2589 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2590 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2592 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2593 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2594 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2595 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2598 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2599 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2600 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2601 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2602 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2604 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2606 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2607 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2610 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2611 called unless they actually need to be.
2612 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2613 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2614 DEMOLISH method present.
2616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2617 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2618 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2619 type constraint, which allows for a
2620 hand optimized version of the type
2621 constraint to be used when possible.
2622 - Any internally created type constraints
2623 now provide an optimized version as well.
2625 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2627 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2628 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2629 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2631 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2632 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2633 your class namespace of these exported
2636 * Moose::Meta::Class
2637 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2638 comes up during global destruction
2640 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2644 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2648 - changed how we do type checks so that
2649 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2652 - moved accessor generation methods to
2653 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2654 conform to the API changes from
2657 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2658 - changed how constraints are compiled
2659 so that we do less recursion and more
2660 iteration. This makes the type check
2662 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2665 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2666 - created this from methods formerly found in
2667 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2669 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2670 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2672 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2673 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2675 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2676 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2678 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2680 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2681 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2682 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2683 - added tests for this
2684 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2685 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2686 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2687 - removed tests for this
2689 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2691 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2692 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2693 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2696 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2697 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2698 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2700 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2701 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2702 comments for more info.
2705 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2706 asked questions and common problems
2708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2709 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2710 - added tests for this
2712 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2713 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2714 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2715 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2717 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2718 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2721 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2722 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2723 is much appreciated :)
2724 - added tests for this
2726 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2727 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2728 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2731 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2732 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2734 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2736 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2737 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2741 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2742 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2743 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2745 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2747 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2750 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2751 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2752 keywords because we need to localize them.
2753 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2755 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2756 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2757 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2760 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2763 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2764 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2765 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2768 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2769 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2770 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2772 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2774 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2775 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2776 bottom of your class file.
2779 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2782 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2784 - improved error message when loading modules so
2785 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2786 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2787 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2790 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2791 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2792 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2795 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2797 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2798 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2799 turn them on for you.
2800 - added tests for this
2801 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2802 in Moose::Meta::Class
2805 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2806 automatically turned on for you.

2828 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2829 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2830 - This release works in combination with
2831 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2832 release because it uses the a new
2833 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2834 complete Role implementation. It has
2835 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2836 the the previous CPAN version. This
2837 release also lacks good updated docs,
2838 the official release will have updated docs.
2841 - refactored the keyword exports
2842 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2843 accepts more than one Role at a time
2844 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2845 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2848 - refactored the keyword exports
2849 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2850 accepts more than one Role at a time
2852 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2853 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2854 string enumerations which can be used as
2856 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2859 - more careful checking of params to new()
2862 - much work done on the role composition
2863 - many new tests for conflict detection
2864 and composition edge cases
2865 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2866 looking at the tests
2868 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2869 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2870 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2878 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2880 - some small changes to support the new
2882 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2883 with the 'handles' option
2884 - added several tests for this
2885 - no docs for this yet
2887 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2889 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2890 thanks to chansen for this commit
2891 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2892 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2893 on a per-attribute basis
2894 - added tests for this
2895 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2896 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2897 experimental feature and probably not finished
