1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * When RoleA consumes RoleB and both roles define the same method, it is now
9 possible to suppress the method conflict error by excluding the
10 conflicting method when RoleA is consumed by a class. The error message
11 from a conflict always said that you could do this, but it didn't actually
14 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
18 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
19 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
21 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
25 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
27 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
31 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
33 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
36 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
40 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
42 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
43 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
47 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
48 more values were required. (rjbs)
50 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
54 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
55 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
59 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
60 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
61 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
62 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
64 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
65 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
66 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
68 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
69 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
72 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
73 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
74 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
75 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
79 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
80 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
81 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
82 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
85 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
89 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
90 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
93 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
94 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
97 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
98 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
99 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
101 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
102 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
105 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
106 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
107 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
109 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
110 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
113 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
114 the associated stash. (doy)
118 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
119 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
120 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
121 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
123 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
127 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
128 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
129 the attribute's reference.
133 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
134 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
139 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
140 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
141 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
144 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
145 the Object constraint).
147 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
151 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
152 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
157 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
159 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
163 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
166 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
168 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
172 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
174 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
178 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
181 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
182 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
183 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
185 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
188 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
192 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
194 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
198 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
200 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
204 * Include changes from 2.0010.
206 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
210 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
211 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
215 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
216 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
217 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
222 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
224 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
228 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
229 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
231 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
235 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
237 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
241 * Various packaging issues.
243 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
247 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
248 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
253 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
254 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
255 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
259 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
260 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
261 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
263 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
267 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
268 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
270 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
274 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
275 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
277 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
280 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
281 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
285 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
286 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
288 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
292 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
293 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
297 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
299 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
303 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
305 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
309 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
310 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
312 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
316 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
318 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
322 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
324 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
325 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
327 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
331 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
332 skips every other role. (rjbs)
334 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
335 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
336 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
337 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
338 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
340 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
344 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
345 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
346 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
349 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
354 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
356 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
357 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
359 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
363 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
364 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
365 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
369 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
370 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
372 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
373 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
375 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
376 environments. (doy, mateu)
378 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
382 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
383 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
384 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
385 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
389 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
390 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
392 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
396 * Update conflicts list.
399 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
403 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
404 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
405 details. (Dave Rolsky)
407 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
408 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
409 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
410 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
411 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
415 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
416 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
417 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
418 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
419 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
422 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
426 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
427 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
429 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
432 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
436 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
437 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
438 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
439 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
441 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
442 immutable classes). (mo)
444 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
445 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
446 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
448 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
452 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
454 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
456 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
460 * Fix some indexing issues.
462 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
464 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
468 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
469 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
470 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
471 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
472 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
474 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
475 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
480 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
481 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
482 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
483 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
485 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
486 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
487 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
491 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
492 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
495 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
499 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
500 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
504 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
508 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
509 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
510 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
511 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
514 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
518 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
521 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
525 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
526 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
527 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
530 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
534 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
535 policy. (Chris Prather)
537 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
538 on this new support policy. (doy)
542 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
543 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
544 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
546 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
547 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
549 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
553 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
554 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
555 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
556 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
559 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
563 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
564 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
567 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
571 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
572 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
574 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
575 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
579 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
580 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
581 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
582 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
583 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
584 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
586 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
587 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
589 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
590 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
591 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
592 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
594 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
595 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
597 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
602 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
603 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
605 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
609 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
610 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
611 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
613 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
617 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
618 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
619 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
621 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
622 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
625 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
626 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
629 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
630 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
631 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
633 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
634 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
639 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
640 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
641 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
642 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
644 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
645 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
647 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
648 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
650 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
651 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
652 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
653 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
655 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
656 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
657 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
660 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
661 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
662 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
663 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
665 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
666 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
669 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
670 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
671 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
673 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
677 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
678 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
679 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
681 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
682 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
683 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
686 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
687 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
688 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
690 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
691 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
692 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
694 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
695 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
699 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
700 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
701 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
703 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
704 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
705 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
706 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
708 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
712 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
713 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
714 value is a reference.
716 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
717 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
719 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
723 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
724 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
725 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
727 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
731 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
732 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
736 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
737 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
738 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
740 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
741 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
742 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
744 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
748 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
750 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
754 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
756 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
757 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
762 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
763 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
765 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
766 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
767 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
768 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
769 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
771 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
772 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
773 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
774 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
776 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
780 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
781 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
786 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
788 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
790 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
795 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
797 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
801 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
802 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
803 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
805 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
806 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
807 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
808 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
810 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
811 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
812 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
813 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
814 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
817 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
822 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
823 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
824 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
825 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
826 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
829 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
833 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
836 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
837 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
841 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
842 function (not just method). (doy)
846 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
847 and aren't easily installable/testable.
849 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
853 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
854 to be overridden more easily (doy).
856 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
860 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
861 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
863 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
867 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
868 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
869 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
871 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
875 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
876 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
877 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
879 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
880 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
884 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
885 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
887 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
888 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
892 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
893 is applied to a class (t0m).
895 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
896 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
898 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
901 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
902 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
904 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
905 be much more robust. (doy)
907 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
909 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
912 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
916 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
917 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
919 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
923 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
924 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
926 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
929 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
930 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
931 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
933 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
934 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
935 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
938 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
940 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
944 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
945 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
949 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
951 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
955 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
956 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
960 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
961 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
965 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
967 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
971 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
972 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
976 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
977 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
981 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
982 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
984 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
988 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
989 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
990 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
993 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
997 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
998 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
999 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1000 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1002 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1006 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1007 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1008 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1012 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1013 (Michael G. Schwern)
1015 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1020 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1021 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1025 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1026 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1028 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1029 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1030 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1031 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1033 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1037 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1041 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1042 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1044 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1045 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1046 - Moose::Util::does_role
1047 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1048 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1049 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1051 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1055 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1056 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1057 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1060 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1064 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1065 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1068 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1072 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1073 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1076 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1080 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1082 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1083 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1085 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1086 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1087 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1089 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1090 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1091 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1094 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1095 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1097 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1098 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1099 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1101 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1103 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1104 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1106 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1108 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1111 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1112 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1114 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1115 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1117 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1118 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1119 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1120 dependencies installed.
1122 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1123 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1126 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1128 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1132 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1135 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1136 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1139 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1140 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1142 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1143 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1146 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1147 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1148 others. (nothingmuch)
1150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1151 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1152 remove_accessors. (doy)
1154 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1155 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1156 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1158 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1159 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1161 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1162 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1163 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1164 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1166 * Moose::Meta::Class
1167 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1168 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1170 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1171 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1173 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1175 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1176 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1179 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1180 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1181 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1182 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1183 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1185 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1186 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1188 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1189 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1190 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1191 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1194 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1195 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1196 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1197 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1198 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1200 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1201 which were not receiving the value of
1202 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1203 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1204 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1205 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1209 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1210 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1211 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1212 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1213 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1216 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1217 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1218 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1219 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1221 * Moose::Meta::Class
1222 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1223 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1224 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1227 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1229 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1231 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1232 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1233 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1236 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1237 class if you pass it options for
1238 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1239 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1240 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1241 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1242 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1243 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1244 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1245 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1246 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1248 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1249 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1250 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1251 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1252 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1255 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1257 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1258 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1261 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1262 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1263 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1264 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1265 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1268 * Moose::Error::Croak
1269 * Moose::Error::Confess
1270 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1271 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1274 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1277 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1278 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1279 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1281 * Moose::Meta::Class
1282 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1285 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1286 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1287 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1289 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1290 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1291 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1292 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1293 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1295 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1296 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1299 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1301 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1302 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1305 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1306 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1308 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1309 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1310 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1311 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1313 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1314 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1315 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1316 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1317 using it for new code!
1319 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1320 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1321 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1322 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1324 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1325 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1326 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1327 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1328 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1329 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1330 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1331 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1334 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1337 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1338 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1342 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1344 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1345 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1346 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1348 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1349 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1350 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1351 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1353 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1354 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1355 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1357 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1358 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1359 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1362 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1363 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1364 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1365 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1366 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1367 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1369 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1371 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1374 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1375 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1376 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1378 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1379 associated_methods. (hdp)
1380 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1381 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1382 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1383 misspelled) arguments
1385 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1386 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1387 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1388 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1390 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1391 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1392 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1394 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1397 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1398 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1399 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1402 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1403 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1405 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1406 * Moose::Meta::Class
1407 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1408 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1410 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1411 * Moose::Manual::Types
1412 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1413 string parsing rathole (mst)
1415 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1416 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1417 using plain objects instead
1419 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1420 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1421 that's what we need.
1423 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1424 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1425 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1426 three times today (perigrin)
1427 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1428 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1430 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1431 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1432 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1433 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1436 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1437 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1438 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1439 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1440 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1441 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1444 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1445 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1446 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1447 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1450 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1452 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1455 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1457 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1460 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1461 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1462 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1466 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1467 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1470 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1471 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1473 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1474 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1475 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1477 * Moose::Unsweetened
1478 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1480 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1481 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1484 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1488 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1489 methods during global destruction (doy)

1494 consumption (Sartak)
1496 * Moose::Meta::Class
1497 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1498 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1501 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1502 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1505 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1506 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1508 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1510 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1514 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1515 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1516 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1519 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1520 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1521 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1524 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1526 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1527 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1528 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1531 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1532 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1533 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1534 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1536 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1537 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1538 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1541 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1544 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1545 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1546 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1550 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1551 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1553 * Moose::Meta::Class
1554 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1556 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1558 * Moose::Meta::Class
1559 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1560 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1563 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1564 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1567 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1568 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1571 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1574 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1577 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1580 * Moose::Meta::Class
1581 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1583 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1584 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1587 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1588 * More deprecations and renamings
1589 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1590 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1591 when an object is constructed)
1594 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1595 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1596 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1598 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1599 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1600 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1601 feature, and it works again.
1604 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1606 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1608 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1609 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1610 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1612 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1613 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1614 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1615 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1616 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1618 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1619 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1620 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1621 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1622 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1625 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1626 metaclass object. (hdp)
1628 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1629 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1630 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1631 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1632 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1633 point out this fact. (hdp)
1635 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1636 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1638 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1639 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1641 * Moose::Meta::Class
1642 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1643 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1644 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1645 called during instance construction were passed the
1646 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1647 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1649 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1650 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1653 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1654 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1655 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1658 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1659 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1660 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1661 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1662 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1664 - Moose::Meta::Class
1665 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1667 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1668 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1669 when an object is constructed)
1670 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1672 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1673 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1674 when an object is constructed)
1675 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1676 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1677 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1680 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1682 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1683 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1685 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1687 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1688 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1689 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1691 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1692 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1693 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1695 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1697 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1698 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1700 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1701 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1704 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1705 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1708 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1709 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1710 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1712 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1713 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1717 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1718 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1719 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1721 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1722 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1725 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1726 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1727 with recommended workarounds.
1729 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1730 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1732 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1733 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1734 (yes, spelled like that).
1736 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1737 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1739 * Moose::Meta::Class
1740 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1741 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1743 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1745 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1746 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1747 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1748 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1749 instead. Reported by doy.
1751 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1753 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1754 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1756 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1757 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1758 message) is now deprecated.
1759 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1760 often got it wrong. For example:
1762 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1764 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1768 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1769 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1770 bite you in weird cases.
1772 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1773 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1774 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1775 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1777 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1778 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1782 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1785 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1786 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1789 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1790 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1792 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1793 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1796 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1798 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1799 - added tests for this (stevan)
1801 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1802 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1803 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1804 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1808 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1809 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1810 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1811 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1813 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1814 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1815 - added tests for this (rafl)
1817 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1818 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1819 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1820 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1824 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1825 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1829 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1830 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1832 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1834 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1835 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1837 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1838 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1839 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1840 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1841 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1843 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1844 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1845 error message did not specify the attribute name
1848 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1850 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1852 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1853 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1854 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1856 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1857 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1860 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1862 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1863 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1864 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1865 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1867 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1869 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1870 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1871 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1872 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1874 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1875 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1876 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1878 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1879 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1880 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1881 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1882 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1884 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1885 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1886 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1887 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1888 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1890 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1891 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1892 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1893 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1894 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1895 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1897 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1898 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1899 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1900 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1901 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1902 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1904 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1905 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1907 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1908 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1909 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1910 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1912 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1913 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1916 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1920 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1921 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1923 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1924 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1925 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1926 guts. (nothingmuch).
1928 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1929 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1930 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1932 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1933 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1934 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1935 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1937 * Moose::Meta::Class
1938 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1941 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1942 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1944 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1945 * Moose::Unsweetened
1946 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1949 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1950 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1951 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1952 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1953 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1954 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1956 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1957 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1958 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1959 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1960 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1961 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1962 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1963 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1964 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1965 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1967 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1969 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1970 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1972 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1973 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1974 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1975 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1977 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1978 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1979 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1980 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1981 same methods for a single role did not work
1982 right (worked just fine with multiple
1984 - added test for this (stevan)
1986 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1987 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1988 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1991 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1992 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1993 - added test for this (t0m)
1996 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1997 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1998 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2000 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2001 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2002 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2003 - added test for this (t0m)
2005 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2006 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2007 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2008 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2009 - added test for this (perigrin)
2012 - create method for constructing a role
2013 dynamically (Sartak)
2014 - added test for this (Sartak)
2015 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2016 - added test for this (Sartak)
2019 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2021 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2022 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2023 methods is useful (Sartak)
2025 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2027 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2030 * Moose::Meta::Class
2031 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2032 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2033 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2034 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2035 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2036 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2039 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2040 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2042 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2043 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2044 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2045 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2046 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2048 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2050 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2051 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2052 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2055 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2056 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2057 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2058 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2059 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2060 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2063 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2064 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2065 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2066 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2067 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2068 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2069 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2070 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2071 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2072 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2073 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2075 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2076 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2079 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2080 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2081 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2082 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2083 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2085 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2087 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2088 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2089 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2091 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2092 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2094 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2095 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2096 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2097 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2100 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2101 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2103 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2105 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2106 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2108 * Moose::Meta::Class
2109 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2110 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2111 a required attribute
2113 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2114 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2115 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2116 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2118 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2119 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2121 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2122 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2123 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2124 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2125 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2126 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2127 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2128 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2130 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2131 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2132 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2134 * Roles and role application
2135 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2136 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2137 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2138 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2139 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2141 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2142 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2145 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2146 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2147 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2148 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2149 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2152 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2153 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2154 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2155 changes in the Moose internals.
2157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2158 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2159 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2162 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2163 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2164 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2165 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2168 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2169 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2170 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2172 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2173 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2174 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2175 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2176 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2177 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2178 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2179 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2180 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2181 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2182 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2183 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2184 constraint implementations.
2186 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2190 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2191 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2192 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2193 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2194 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2195 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2196 - added tests for this (rafl)
2198 * Moose::Meta::Class
2199 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2200 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2201 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2202 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2203 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2204 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2205 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2206 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2209 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2210 - added tests for this (thepler)
2212 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2213 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2214 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2215 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2218 * Moose::Meta::Class
2219 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2220 * Moose::Meta::Method
2223 * Moose::Error::Default
2224 * Moose::Error::Croak
2225 * Moose::Error::Confess
2226 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2227 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2228 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2229 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2230 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2231 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2233 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2235 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2236 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2238 * Moose::Unsweetened
2239 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2240 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2241 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2243 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2244 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2245 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2246 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2247 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2250 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2251 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2253 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2254 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2255 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2256 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2259 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2261 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2262 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2264 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2267 - Various bug fixes.
2269 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2270 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2272 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2274 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2275 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2276 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2277 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2278 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2279 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2281 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2282 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2283 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2285 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2286 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2287 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2290 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2291 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2292 dependency to 0.64_07.
2294 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2295 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2296 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2298 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2299 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2302 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2303 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2304 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2305 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2306 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2307 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2309 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2310 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2312 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2314 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2315 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2319 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2320 method when that method was provided by another role being
2321 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2322 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2324 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2326 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2327 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2330 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2331 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2332 - added test for this (t0m)
2334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2335 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2336 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2338 - added test for this (t0m)
2341 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2342 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2343 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2346 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2347 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2349 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2351 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2352 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2354 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2355 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2356 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2358 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2359 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2362 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2363 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2364 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2365 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2369 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2370 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2371 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2374 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2375 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2376 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2377 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2380 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2384 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2385 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2386 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2388 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2389 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2390 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2391 created so that the process can be more easily
2392 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2404 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2406 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2407 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2408 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2410 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2411 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2412 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2414 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2415 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2417 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2418 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2421 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2422 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2426 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2427 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2429 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2430 ... this is not my day today ...
2432 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2433 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2434 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2435 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2436 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2439 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2440 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2441 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2442 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2443 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2446 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2448 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2449 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2450 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2451 this is not ever something you want to do
2452 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2453 - added tests for this (stevan)
2456 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2458 - added test for this
2460 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2461 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2462 - added tests for this (wreis)
2464 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2465 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2466 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2467 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2469 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2470 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2471 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2474 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2476 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2478 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2481 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2482 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2483 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2484 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2485 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2486 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2487 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2488 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2489 - added tests for this
2491 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2492 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2493 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2494 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2496 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2498 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2499 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

2551 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2552 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2554 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2555 - move the ClassName type check code to
2556 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2558 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2559 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2561 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2562 (early morning release engineering)--
2564 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2565 which was causing the indexer to choke
2567 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2568 (late night release engineering)--
2570 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2571 changes in this release
2573 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

2579 since it is called so often by &meta
2581 * Moose::Meta::Class
2583 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2584 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2587 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2588 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2589 method for immutablization to check if the
2590 destructor object even needs to be created
2593 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2594 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2595 - added more descriptive error message to help
2596 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2597 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2599 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2601 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2602 XS based functionality is now optional
2603 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2604 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2605 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2607 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2608 to take care of this, mostly we added
2609 support for the package_name and name
2610 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2611 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2612 support regexp matching of names
2613 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2614 - tests added for this
2615 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2616 is currently not supported in roles,
2617 but, ... patches welcome
2618 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2619 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2620 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2623 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2624 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2625 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2626 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2627 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2628 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2629 - added test for this
2631 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2632 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2633 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2636 * Moose::Meta::Class
2637 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2641 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2643 - added tests for this
2644 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2645 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2647 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2648 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2649 themselves parameterizable types
2651 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2652 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2653 called by the inlined immutable
2655 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2657 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2658 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2659 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2660 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2662 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2663 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2667 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was

2675 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2678 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2679 ->body when looping through the
2680 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2682 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2683 eating the $@ values, and so not
2684 working correctly, it still kind of
2685 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2686 - added tests for this
2688 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2689 - added new recipe for immutable
2690 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2692 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2693 - added new recipe for builder and

2698 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2701 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)

2704 since Module::Install has done that.
2706 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2708 drink more coffee before
2709 doing release engineering
2711 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2712 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2713 modules. This fixes that.
2715 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2716 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2717 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2719 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55

2726 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2727 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2729 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2730 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2731 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2732 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2738 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2739 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

2743 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2745 - added test for this
2747 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2748 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2749 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2750 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)

2763 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
2764 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
2765 - added tests for this (Sartak)
2766 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
2767 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error

2770 to allow introspection of traits
2771 - added tests for this
2772 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from
2774 - clone_and_inherit_options now handles 'trait' and 'metaclass' (has
2775 '+foo' syntax) (nothingmuch)

2826 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2828 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2829 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2830 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

2872 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2873 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2874 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2876 - added more delegation tests
2877 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2878 support traits and their introspection.

3119 - added tests for this
3122 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3123 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3165 - fixed how required methods are handled
3166 when they encounter overriden or modified
3167 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3168 - added tests for this
3170 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3178 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3181 * Parameterized Types
3182 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3183 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3184 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3185 They can also be nested:
3186 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3187 And work with the type unions as well:
3188 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3190 * Better Framework Extendability
3191 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3192 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3193 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3194 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3197 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3198 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3199 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3200 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3455 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3457 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3458 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3461 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3463 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3464 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3465 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3468 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3469 !! for this developer release to work !!
3471 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3472 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3473 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3474 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3475 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3476 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3477 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3478 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3479 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3480 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3481 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3483 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3484 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3485 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3486 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3489 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3490 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3491 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3492 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3493 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3495 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3497 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3498 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3501 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3502 called unless they actually need to be.
3503 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3504 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3505 DEMOLISH method present.
3507 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3508 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3509 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3510 type constraint, which allows for a
3511 hand optimized version of the type
3512 constraint to be used when possible.
3513 - Any internally created type constraints
3514 now provide an optimized version as well.
3516 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3518 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3519 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3520 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3522 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3523 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3524 your class namespace of these exported
3527 * Moose::Meta::Class
3528 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3529 comes up during global destruction
3531 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3535 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3538 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3539 - changed how we do type checks so that
3540 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3543 - moved accessor generation methods to
3544 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3545 conform to the API changes from
3548 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3549 - changed how constraints are compiled
3550 so that we do less recursion and more
3551 iteration. This makes the type check
3553 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3556 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3557 - created this from methods formerly found in
3558 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3560 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3561 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3563 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3564 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3566 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3567 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3569 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3571 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3572 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3573 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3574 - added tests for this
3575 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3576 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3577 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3578 - removed tests for this
3580 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3582 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3583 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3584 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3587 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3588 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3589 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3591 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3592 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3593 comments for more info.
3596 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3597 asked questions and common problems
3599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3600 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3601 - added tests for this
3603 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3604 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3605 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3606 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3608 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3609 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3612 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3613 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3614 is much appreciated :)
3615 - added tests for this
3617 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3618 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3619 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3622 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3623 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3625 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3627 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3628 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3632 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3633 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3634 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3636 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3638 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3641 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3642 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3643 keywords because we need to localize them.
3644 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3646 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3647 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3648 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3651 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3655 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3656 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3659 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3660 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3661 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3663 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3665 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3666 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3667 bottom of your class file.
3670 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3673 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3675 - improved error message when loading modules so
3676 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3677 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3678 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3681 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3682 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3683 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3685 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3686 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3688 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3689 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3690 turn them on for you.
3691 - added tests for this
3692 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3693 in Moose::Meta::Class
3696 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3697 automatically turned on for you.
3698 - added tests for this
3701 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3702 - added tests for this
3703 - added some more edge case tests
3705 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
3706 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3708 - added prototypes to the exported subs

3715 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3716 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3719 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3720 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3721 - This release works in combination with
3722 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3723 release because it uses the a new
3724 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3725 complete Role implementation. It has
3726 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3727 the the previous CPAN version. This
3728 release also lacks good updated docs,
3729 the official release will have updated docs.
3732 - refactored the keyword exports
3733 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3734 accepts more than one Role at a time
3735 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3736 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3739 - refactored the keyword exports
3740 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3741 accepts more than one Role at a time
3743 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3744 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3745 string enumerations which can be used as
3747 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3750 - more careful checking of params to new()
3753 - much work done on the role composition
3754 - many new tests for conflict detection
3755 and composition edge cases
3756 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3757 looking at the tests
3759 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3760 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3761 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3763 * Moose::Meta::Class
3764 - some small changes to support the new
3766 - some small additions to support Roles
3768 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3769 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3771 - some small changes to support the new
3773 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3774 with the 'handles' option
3775 - added several tests for this
3776 - no docs for this yet
3778 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3780 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3781 thanks to chansen for this commit
3782 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3783 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3784 on a per-attribute basis
3785 - added tests for this
3786 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3787 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3788 experimental feature and probably not finished
3789 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3790 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3791 - added tests for this
3794 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3805 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
3806 construct_instance (for the better)
3808 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3809 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
3810 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)

3853 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3855 - added test for this
3858 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3859 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
