1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
10 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
11 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
13 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
17 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
19 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
23 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
25 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
26 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
28 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
32 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
33 skips every other role. (rjbs)
35 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
36 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
37 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
38 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
39 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
41 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
45 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
46 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
47 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
50 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
55 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
57 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
58 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
60 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
64 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
65 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
66 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
70 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
71 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
73 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
74 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
76 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
77 environments. (doy, mateu)
79 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
83 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
84 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
85 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
86 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
90 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
91 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
93 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
97 * Update conflicts list.
100 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
104 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
105 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
106 details. (Dave Rolsky)
108 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
109 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
110 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
111 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
112 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
116 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
117 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
118 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
119 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
120 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
123 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
127 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
128 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
130 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
133 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
137 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
138 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
139 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
140 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
142 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
143 immutable classes). (mo)
145 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
146 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
147 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
149 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
153 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
155 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
157 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
161 * Fix some indexing issues.
163 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
165 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
169 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
170 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
171 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
172 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
173 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
175 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
176 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
181 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
182 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
183 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
184 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
186 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
187 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
188 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
192 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
193 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
196 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
200 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
201 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
205 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
209 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
210 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
211 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
212 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
215 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
219 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
222 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
226 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
227 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
228 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
231 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
235 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
236 policy. (Chris Prather)
238 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
239 on this new support policy. (doy)
243 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
244 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
245 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
247 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
248 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
250 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
254 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
255 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
256 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
257 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
260 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
264 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
265 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
268 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
272 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
273 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
275 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
276 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
280 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
281 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
282 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
283 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
284 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
285 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
287 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
288 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
290 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
291 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
292 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
293 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
295 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
296 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
298 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
303 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
304 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
306 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
310 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
311 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
312 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
314 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
318 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
319 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
320 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
322 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
323 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
326 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
327 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
330 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
331 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
332 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
334 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
335 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
340 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
341 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
342 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
343 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
345 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
346 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
348 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
349 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
351 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
352 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
353 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
354 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
356 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
357 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
358 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
361 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
362 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
363 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
364 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
366 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
367 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
370 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
371 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
372 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
374 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
378 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
379 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
380 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
382 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
383 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
384 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
387 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
388 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
389 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
391 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
392 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
393 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
395 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
396 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
400 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
401 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
402 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
404 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
405 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
406 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
407 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
409 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
413 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
414 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
415 value is a reference.
417 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
418 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
420 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
424 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
425 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
426 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
428 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
432 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
433 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
437 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
438 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
439 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
441 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
442 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
443 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
445 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
449 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
451 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
455 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
457 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
458 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
463 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
464 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
466 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
467 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
468 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
469 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
470 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
472 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
473 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
474 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
475 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
477 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
481 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
482 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
487 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
489 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
491 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
496 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
498 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
502 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
503 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
504 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
506 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
507 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
508 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
509 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
511 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
512 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
513 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
514 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
515 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
518 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
523 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
524 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
525 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
526 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
527 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
530 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
534 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
537 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
538 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
542 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
543 function (not just method). (doy)
547 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
548 and aren't easily installable/testable.
550 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
554 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
555 to be overridden more easily (doy).
557 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
561 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
562 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
564 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
568 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
569 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
570 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
572 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
576 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
577 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
578 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
580 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
581 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
585 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
586 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
588 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
589 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
593 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
594 is applied to a class (t0m).
596 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
597 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
599 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
602 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
603 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
605 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
606 be much more robust. (doy)
608 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
610 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
613 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
617 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
618 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
620 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
624 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
625 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
627 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
630 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
631 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
632 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
634 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
635 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
636 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
639 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
641 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
645 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
646 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
650 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
652 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
656 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
657 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
661 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
662 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
666 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
668 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
672 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
673 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
677 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
678 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
682 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
683 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
685 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
689 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
690 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
691 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
694 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
698 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
699 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
700 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
701 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
703 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
707 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
708 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
709 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
713 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
716 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
720 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
721 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
722 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
726 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
727 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
729 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
730 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
731 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
732 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
734 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
738 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
742 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
743 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
745 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
746 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
747 - Moose::Util::does_role
748 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
749 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
750 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
752 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
756 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
757 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
758 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
761 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
765 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
766 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
769 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
773 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
774 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
777 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
781 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
783 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
784 class. (Dave Rolsky).
786 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
787 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
788 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
790 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
791 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
792 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
795 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
796 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
798 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
799 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
800 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
802 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
804 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
805 substr et al, again. (sorear)
807 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
809 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
812 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
813 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
815 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
816 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
818 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
819 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
820 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
821 dependencies installed.
823 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
824 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
827 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
829 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
833 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
835 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
836 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
837 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
839 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
840 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
841 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
843 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
844 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
847 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
848 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
849 others. (nothingmuch)
851 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
852 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
853 remove_accessors. (doy)
855 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
856 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
857 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
859 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
860 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
862 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
863 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
864 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
865 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
868 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
869 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
871 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
872 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
874 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
876 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
877 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
880 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
881 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
882 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
883 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
884 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
886 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
887 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
888 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
889 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
890 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
891 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
892 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
895 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
896 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
897 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
898 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
899 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
901 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
902 which were not receiving the value of
903 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
904 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
905 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
906 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
910 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
911 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
912 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
913 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
914 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
917 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
918 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
919 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
920 - added tests for this (Stevan)
923 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
924 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
925 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
928 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
929 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
930 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
932 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
933 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
934 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
937 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
938 class if you pass it options for
939 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
940 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
941 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
942 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
943 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
944 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
945 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
946 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
947 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
949 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
950 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
951 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
952 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
953 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
956 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
957 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
958 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
959 existing delegation API. (hdp)
961 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
962 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
963 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
964 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
965 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
966 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
969 * Moose::Error::Croak
970 * Moose::Error::Confess
971 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
972 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
975 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
978 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
979 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
980 installing a broken sub. (doy)
983 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
986 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
987 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
988 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
990 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
991 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
992 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
993 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
994 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
996 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
997 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1000 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1002 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1003 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1006 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1007 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1010 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1011 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1012 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1014 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1015 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1016 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1017 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1018 using it for new code!
1020 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1021 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1022 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1023 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1025 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1026 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1027 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1028 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1029 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1030 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1031 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1032 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1035 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1038 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1039 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1042 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1043 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1045 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1046 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1047 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1049 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1050 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1051 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1052 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1054 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1055 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1056 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1058 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1059 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1060 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1063 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1064 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1065 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1066 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1067 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1068 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1070 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1072 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1075 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1076 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1077 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1079 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1080 associated_methods. (hdp)
1081 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1082 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1083 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1084 misspelled) arguments
1086 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1087 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1088 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1089 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1091 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1092 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1093 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1095 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1098 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1099 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1100 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1103 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1104 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1106 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1107 * Moose::Meta::Class
1108 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1109 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1111 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1112 * Moose::Manual::Types
1113 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1114 string parsing rathole (mst)
1116 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1117 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1118 using plain objects instead
1120 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1121 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1122 that's what we need.
1124 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1125 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1126 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1127 three times today (perigrin)
1128 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1129 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1131 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1132 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1133 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1134 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1137 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1138 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1139 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1140 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1141 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1142 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1145 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1146 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1147 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1148 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1151 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1153 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1156 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1158 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1161 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1162 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1163 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1167 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1168 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1171 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1172 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1174 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1175 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1176 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1178 * Moose::Unsweetened
1179 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1181 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1182 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1185 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1189 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1190 methods during global destruction (doy)
1192 * Moose::Meta::Class
1193 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1194 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1195 consumption (Sartak)
1197 * Moose::Meta::Class
1198 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1199 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1202 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1203 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1206 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1207 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1209 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1211 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1215 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1216 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1217 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1220 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1221 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1222 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1225 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1227 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1228 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1229 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1233 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1234 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1235 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1237 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1238 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1239 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1242 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1245 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1246 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1247 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1251 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1252 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1254 * Moose::Meta::Class
1255 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1257 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1259 * Moose::Meta::Class
1260 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1261 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1264 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1265 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1268 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1269 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1272 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1275 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1278 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1281 * Moose::Meta::Class
1282 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1284 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1285 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1288 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1289 * More deprecations and renamings
1290 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1291 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1292 when an object is constructed)
1295 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1296 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1297 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1300 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1301 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1302 feature, and it works again.
1305 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1307 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1309 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1310 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1311 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1313 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1314 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1315 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1316 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1317 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1319 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1320 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1321 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1322 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1323 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1326 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1327 metaclass object. (hdp)
1329 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1330 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1331 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1332 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1333 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1334 point out this fact. (hdp)
1336 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1337 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1339 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1340 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1342 * Moose::Meta::Class
1343 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1344 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1345 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1346 called during instance construction were passed the
1347 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1348 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1350 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1351 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1354 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1355 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1356 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1359 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1360 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1361 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1362 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1363 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1365 - Moose::Meta::Class
1366 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1368 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1369 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1370 when an object is constructed)
1371 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1373 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1374 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1375 when an object is constructed)
1376 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1377 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1378 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1381 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1383 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1384 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1386 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1388 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1389 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1390 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1392 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1393 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1394 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1396 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1398 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1399 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1401 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1402 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1405 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1406 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1409 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1410 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1411 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1413 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1414 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1418 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1419 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1420 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1422 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1423 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1426 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1427 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1428 with recommended workarounds.
1430 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1431 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1433 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1434 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1435 (yes, spelled like that).
1437 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1438 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1440 * Moose::Meta::Class
1441 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1442 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1444 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1447 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1448 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1449 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1450 instead. Reported by doy.
1452 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1454 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1455 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1457 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1458 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1459 message) is now deprecated.
1460 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1461 often got it wrong. For example:
1463 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1465 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1469 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1470 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1471 bite you in weird cases.
1473 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1474 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1475 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1476 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1478 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1479 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1483 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1486 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1487 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1490 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1491 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1493 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1494 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1497 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1498 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1499 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1500 - added tests for this (stevan)
1502 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1503 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1504 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1505 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1509 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1510 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1511 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1512 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1514 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1515 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1516 - added tests for this (rafl)
1518 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1519 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1520 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1521 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1525 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1526 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1529 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1530 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1531 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1533 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1535 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1536 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1538 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1539 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1540 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1541 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1542 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1544 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1545 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1546 error message did not specify the attribute name
1549 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1551 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1553 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1554 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1555 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1558 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1561 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1563 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1564 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1565 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1566 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1568 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1570 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1571 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1572 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1573 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1575 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1576 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1577 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1579 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1580 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1581 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1582 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1583 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1585 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1586 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1587 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1588 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1589 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1591 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1592 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1593 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1594 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1595 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1596 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1598 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1599 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1600 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1601 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1602 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1603 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1605 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1606 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1608 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1609 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1610 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1611 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1614 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1617 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1621 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1622 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1624 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1625 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1626 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1627 guts. (nothingmuch).
1629 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1630 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1631 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1633 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1634 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1635 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1636 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1638 * Moose::Meta::Class
1639 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1642 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1643 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1645 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1646 * Moose::Unsweetened
1647 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1650 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1651 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1652 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1653 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1654 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1655 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1657 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1658 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1659 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1660 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1661 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1662 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1663 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1664 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1665 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1666 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1668 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1670 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1671 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1673 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1674 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1675 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1676 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1678 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1679 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1680 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1681 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1682 same methods for a single role did not work
1683 right (worked just fine with multiple
1685 - added test for this (stevan)
1687 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1688 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1689 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1692 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1693 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1694 - added test for this (t0m)
1697 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1698 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1699 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1701 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1702 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1703 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1704 - added test for this (t0m)
1706 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1707 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1708 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1709 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1710 - added test for this (perigrin)
1713 - create method for constructing a role
1714 dynamically (Sartak)
1715 - added test for this (Sartak)
1716 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1717 - added test for this (Sartak)
1720 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1722 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1723 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1724 methods is useful (Sartak)
1726 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1727 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1728 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1731 * Moose::Meta::Class
1732 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1733 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1734 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1735 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1736 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1737 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1740 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1741 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1743 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1744 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1745 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1746 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1747 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1749 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1751 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1752 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1753 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1756 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1757 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1758 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1759 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1760 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1761 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1764 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1765 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1766 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1767 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1768 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1769 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1770 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1771 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1772 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1773 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1774 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1776 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1777 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1780 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1781 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1782 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1783 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1784 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1786 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1788 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1789 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1790 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1792 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1793 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1795 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1796 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1797 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1798 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1801 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1802 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1804 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1806 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1807 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1809 * Moose::Meta::Class
1810 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1811 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1812 a required attribute
1814 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1815 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1816 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1817 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1819 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1820 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1822 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1823 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1824 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1825 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1826 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1827 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1828 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1829 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1831 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1832 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1833 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1835 * Roles and role application
1836 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1837 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1838 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1839 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1840 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1842 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1843 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1846 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1847 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1848 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1849 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1850 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1853 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1854 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1855 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1856 changes in the Moose internals.
1858 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1859 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1860 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1863 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1864 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1865 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1866 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1868 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1869 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1870 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1871 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1873 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1874 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1875 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1876 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1877 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1878 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1879 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1880 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1881 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1882 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1883 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1884 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1885 constraint implementations.
1887 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1891 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1892 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1893 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1894 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1895 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1896 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1897 - added tests for this (rafl)
1899 * Moose::Meta::Class
1900 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1901 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1902 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1903 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1904 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1905 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1906 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1907 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1910 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1911 - added tests for this (thepler)
1913 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1914 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1915 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1916 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1919 * Moose::Meta::Class
1920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1921 * Moose::Meta::Method
1924 * Moose::Error::Default
1925 * Moose::Error::Croak
1926 * Moose::Error::Confess
1927 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1928 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1929 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1930 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1931 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1932 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1934 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1936 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1937 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1939 * Moose::Unsweetened
1940 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1941 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1942 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1944 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1945 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1946 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1947 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1948 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1951 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1952 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1954 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1955 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1956 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1957 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1960 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1962 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1963 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1965 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1968 - Various bug fixes.
1970 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1971 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1973 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1975 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1976 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1977 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1978 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1979 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1980 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1982 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1983 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1984 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1986 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1987 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1988 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1991 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1992 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1993 dependency to 0.64_07.
1995 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1996 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1997 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2000 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2003 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2004 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2005 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2006 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2007 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2008 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2010 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2011 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2013 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2015 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2016 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2020 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2021 method when that method was provided by another role being
2022 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2023 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2025 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2027 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2028 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2030 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2031 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2032 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2033 - added test for this (t0m)
2035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2036 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2037 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2039 - added test for this (t0m)
2042 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2043 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2044 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2047 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2048 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2050 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2052 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2053 easier (Dave Rolsky)

2130 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2131 ... this is not my day today ...
2133 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2134 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2135 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2136 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2137 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2140 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2141 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2142 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2143 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2144 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2147 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2149 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2150 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2182 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2183 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2184 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2185 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2186 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2187 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2188 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2189 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2190 - added tests for this
2192 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2193 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2303 XS based functionality is now optional
2304 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2305 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2306 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2753 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2754 - added tests for this
2756 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2758 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2759 types without having to explictly define them
2760 - added tests for this
2762 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2763 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2764 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2766 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2767 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2768 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2769 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2770 - added tests for this
2771 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2772 a single type at different times instead of
2773 having to do it all in one place
2774 - added tests for this
2776 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2777 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2778 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2781 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2782 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2783 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2784 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2785 new features above (although you cannot add
2786 more type coercions for Union types)
2788 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2789 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2790 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2791 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2792 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2793 - added tests for this.
2794 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2795 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2796 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2797 - added tests for this
2798 - added docs for this
2800 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2801 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2802 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2803 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2804 instead it will just return undef.
2805 - added docs for this
2807 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2819 with work correctly.
2820 - added tests for this
2823 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2824 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2827 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2828 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2829 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2831 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2832 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2863 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2866 - fixed how required methods are handled
2867 when they encounter overriden or modified
2868 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2869 - added tests for this
2871 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2872 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2873 the | always creates a union and so is
2874 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2875 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2877 - added more tests for this
2879 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2882 * Parameterized Types
2883 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2884 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2885 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2886 They can also be nested:
2887 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2888 And work with the type unions as well:
2889 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2891 * Better Framework Extendability
2892 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2893 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2894 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2895 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2898 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2899 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2900 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2901 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2904 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2906 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2907 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2910 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2937 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2938 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2940 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2941 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2942 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2943 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2945 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2946 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2947 - updated the accompanying test as well
2949 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2950 +++ with new features added as well +++
2952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2953 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2954 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2955 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2956 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2958 - added tests for this
2960 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2961 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2962 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2963 can track where the type constraints are created
2965 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2966 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2967 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2969 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2970 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2971 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2972 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2986 (thanks to shlomif).
2988 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2989 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2990 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2991 - added tests for this
2992 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2994 - added tests for this
2996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2997 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2998 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3028 - added tests for these
3030 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3031 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3033 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3034 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3035 to the 'handles' option.
3036 - added tests and docs for this

3039 (but not changing the handles option)
3040 - added tests and docs for this
3043 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3044 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3045 - adjusted tests for this
3047 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3048 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3049 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3055 the other side (perigrin)
3057 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3058 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3059 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3060 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3061 prototypes for functions
3062 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3063 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3073 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3076 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3077 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3078 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3079 - added tests for this
3081 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3083 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3096 where not handled correctly in roles
3097 - added tests for this
3099 * Moose::Meta::Class
3100 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3101 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3102 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3104 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3105 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3107 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3108 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3109 so this release is just to fix that.
3112 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3113 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3114 (thanks to konobi for this)
3115 - added tests and docs
3117 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3118 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3120 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3121 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3122 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3123 - added tests for this
3124 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3125 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3126 functions to facilitate introspection.
3128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3129 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3130 to build the list of delegated methods
3131 correctly (and not override important
3132 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3134 - added tests and docs for this
3135 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3136 so that you can actually document your
3137 attributes and inspect them through the
3139 - added tests and docs for this
3141 * Moose::Meta::Class
3142 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3143 it will first look in for the class in the
3144 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3145 then default to just loading $name.
3146 - added tests and docs for this
3148 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3149 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3150 - added test for this
3153 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3154 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3155 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3156 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3158 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3159 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3162 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3164 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3165 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3166 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3169 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3170 !! for this developer release to work !!
3172 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3173 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3174 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3175 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3176 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3177 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3178 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3179 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3180 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3181 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3182 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3184 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3185 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3186 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3187 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3190 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3191 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3192 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3193 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3194 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3196 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3198 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3199 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3202 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3203 called unless they actually need to be.
3204 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3205 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3206 DEMOLISH method present.
3208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3209 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3210 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3211 type constraint, which allows for a
3212 hand optimized version of the type
3213 constraint to be used when possible.
3214 - Any internally created type constraints
3215 now provide an optimized version as well.
3217 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3219 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3220 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3221 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3223 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3224 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3225 your class namespace of these exported
3228 * Moose::Meta::Class
3229 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3230 comes up during global destruction
3232 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3236 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3240 - changed how we do type checks so that
3241 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3244 - moved accessor generation methods to
3245 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3246 conform to the API changes from
3249 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3250 - changed how constraints are compiled
3251 so that we do less recursion and more
3252 iteration. This makes the type check
3254 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3258 - created this from methods formerly found in
3259 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3261 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3262 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3264 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3265 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3267 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3268 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3270 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3273 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3274 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3275 - added tests for this
3276 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3277 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3278 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3279 - removed tests for this
3281 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3283 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3284 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3285 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3288 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3289 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3290 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3292 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3293 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3294 comments for more info.
3297 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3298 asked questions and common problems
3300 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3301 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3302 - added tests for this
3304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3305 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3306 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3307 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3309 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3310 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3313 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3314 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3315 is much appreciated :)
3316 - added tests for this
3318 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3319 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3320 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3323 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3324 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3326 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3328 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3329 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3333 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3334 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3335 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3337 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3339 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3342 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3343 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3344 keywords because we need to localize them.
3345 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3347 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3348 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3349 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3352 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3355 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3356 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3357 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3360 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3361 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3362 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3364 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3366 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3367 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3368 bottom of your class file.
3371 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3374 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3376 - improved error message when loading modules so
3377 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3378 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3379 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3382 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3383 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3384 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3386 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3387 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3389 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3390 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3391 turn them on for you.
3392 - added tests for this
3393 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3394 in Moose::Meta::Class
3397 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3398 automatically turned on for you.
3399 - added tests for this
3402 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3403 - added tests for this
3404 - added some more edge case tests

3416 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3417 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3420 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3421 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3422 - This release works in combination with
3423 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3424 release because it uses the a new
3425 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3426 complete Role implementation. It has
3427 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3428 the the previous CPAN version. This
3429 release also lacks good updated docs,
3430 the official release will have updated docs.
3433 - refactored the keyword exports
3434 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3435 accepts more than one Role at a time
3436 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3437 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3440 - refactored the keyword exports
3441 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3442 accepts more than one Role at a time
3444 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3445 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3446 string enumerations which can be used as
3448 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3451 - more careful checking of params to new()
3454 - much work done on the role composition
3455 - many new tests for conflict detection
3456 and composition edge cases

3481 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3482 thanks to chansen for this commit
