1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
6 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
8 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
9 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
10 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
11 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
12 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
15 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
16 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
17 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
18 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
19 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
20 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
21 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
24 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
27 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
28 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
31 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
32 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
34 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
35 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
36 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
39 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
40 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
41 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
44 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
45 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
47 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
48 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
49 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
52 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
53 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
54 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
55 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
56 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
57 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
59 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
61 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
64 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
65 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
66 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
68 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
69 associated_methods. (hdp)
70 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
71 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
72 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
75 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
76 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
77 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
78 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
80 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
81 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
82 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
84 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
87 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
88 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
89 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
92 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
93 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
95 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
97 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
98 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
100 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
101 * Moose::Manual::Types
102 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
103 string parsing rathole (mst)
105 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
106 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
107 using plain objects instead
109 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
110 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
113 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
115 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
116 three times today (perigrin)
117 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
118 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
120 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
121 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
122 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
123 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
126 - A role's required methods are now represented by
127 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
128 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
129 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
130 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
131 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
134 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
135 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
136 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
137 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
140 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
142 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
145 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
147 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
150 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
151 during global destruction. This method has been made more
152 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
156 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
157 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
160 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
161 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
163 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
164 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
165 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
168 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
170 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
171 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
174 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
178 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
179 methods during global destruction (doy)
182 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
183 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
187 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
188 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
191 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
192 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
195 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
196 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
198 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
200 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
204 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
205 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
206 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
209 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
210 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
211 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
214 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
216 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
217 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
218 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
221 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
222 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
223 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
224 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
226 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
227 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
228 of the Moose core (Sartak)
231 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
234 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
235 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
236 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
240 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
241 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
244 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
246 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
249 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
250 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
253 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
254 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
257 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
258 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
261 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
264 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
266 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
267 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
271 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
273 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
274 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
277 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
278 * More deprecations and renamings
279 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
280 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
281 when an object is constructed)
284 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
285 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
286 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
289 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
290 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
291 feature, and it works again.
294 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
296 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
298 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
299 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
300 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
302 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
303 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
304 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
305 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
306 message. Test provided by perigrin.
308 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
309 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
310 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
311 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
312 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
315 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
316 metaclass object. (hdp)
318 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
319 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
320 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
321 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
322 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
323 point out this fact. (hdp)
325 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
326 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
328 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
329 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
332 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
333 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
334 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
335 called during instance construction were passed the
336 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
337 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
339 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
340 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
343 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
344 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
345 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
348 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
349 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
350 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
351 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
352 them, but they are not for "public" use.
355 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
357 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
358 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
359 when an object is constructed)
360 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
362 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
363 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
364 when an object is constructed)
365 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
366 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
367 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
370 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
372 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
373 * No changes from 0.72_01.
375 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
377 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
378 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
379 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
381 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
382 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
383 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
385 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
387 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
388 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
390 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
391 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
394 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
395 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
398 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
399 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
400 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
403 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
407 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
408 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
409 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
411 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
412 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
415 * Moose::Manual::Delta
416 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
417 with recommended workarounds.
419 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
420 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
422 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
423 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
424 (yes, spelled like that).
426 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
427 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
430 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
431 changes in latest Class::MOP.
433 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
436 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
437 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
438 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
439 instead. Reported by doy.
441 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
443 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
444 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
446 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
447 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
448 message) is now deprecated.
449 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
450 often got it wrong. For example:
452 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
454 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
458 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
459 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
460 bite you in weird cases.
462 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
463 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
464 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
467 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
468 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
472 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
475 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
476 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
479 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
480 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
482 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
483 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
486 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
487 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
488 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
489 - added tests for this (stevan)
491 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
492 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
493 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
494 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
498 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
499 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
500 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
501 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
503 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
504 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
505 - added tests for this (rafl)
507 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
508 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
509 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
510 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
514 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
515 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
518 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
519 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
520 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
522 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
524 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
525 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
528 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
529 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
530 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
531 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
533 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
534 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
535 error message did not specify the attribute name
538 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
540 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
542 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
543 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
544 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
546 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
547 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
550 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
552 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
553 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
554 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
555 of fixes and formatting improvements.
557 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
559 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
560 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
561 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
562 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
564 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
565 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
566 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
568 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
569 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
570 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
571 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
572 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
574 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
575 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
576 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
577 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
578 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
580 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
581 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
582 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
583 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
584 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
585 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
587 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
588 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
589 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
590 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
591 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
592 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
594 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
595 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
597 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
598 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
599 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
600 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
603 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
606 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
610 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
611 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
613 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
614 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
615 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
618 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
619 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
620 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
622 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
623 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
624 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
625 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
628 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
631 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
632 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
634 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
636 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
639 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
640 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
641 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
642 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
643 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
644 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
646 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
647 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
648 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
649 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
650 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
651 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
652 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
653 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
654 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
655 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
657 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
659 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
660 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
662 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
663 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
664 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
665 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
667 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
668 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
669 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
670 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
671 same methods for a single role did not work
672 right (worked just fine with multiple
674 - added test for this (stevan)
676 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
677 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
678 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
681 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
682 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
683 - added test for this (t0m)
686 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
687 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
688 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
690 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
691 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
692 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
693 - added test for this (t0m)
695 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
696 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
697 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
698 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
699 - added test for this (perigrin)
702 - create method for constructing a role
704 - added test for this (Sartak)
705 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
706 - added test for this (Sartak)
709 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
711 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
712 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
713 methods is useful (Sartak)
715 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
716 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
717 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
721 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
722 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
723 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
724 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
725 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
726 - added tests for this (jdv79)
729 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
730 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
732 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
733 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
734 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
735 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
736 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
738 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
740 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
741 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
742 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
745 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
746 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
747 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
748 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
749 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
750 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
753 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
754 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
755 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
756 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
757 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
758 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
759 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
760 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
761 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
762 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
763 future. (jnapiorkowski)
765 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
766 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
769 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
770 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
771 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
772 type. (jnapiorkowski)
773 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
775 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
777 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
778 predicate, and link to more details sections in
779 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
781 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
782 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
784 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
785 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
786 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
787 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
790 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
791 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
793 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
795 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
796 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
799 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
800 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
803 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
804 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
805 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
806 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
808 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
809 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
811 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
812 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
813 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
814 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
815 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
816 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
817 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
818 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
820 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
821 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
822 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
824 * Roles and role application
825 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
826 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
827 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
828 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
829 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
831 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
832 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
835 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
836 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
837 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
838 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
839 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
842 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
843 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
844 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
845 changes in the Moose internals.
847 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
848 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
849 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
852 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
853 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
854 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
855 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
857 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
858 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
859 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
860 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
862 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
863 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
864 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
865 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
866 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
867 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
868 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
869 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
870 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
871 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
872 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
873 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
874 constraint implementations.
876 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
880 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
881 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
882 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
883 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
884 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
885 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
886 - added tests for this (rafl)
889 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
890 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
891 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
892 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
893 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
894 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
895 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
896 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
899 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
900 - added tests for this (thepler)
902 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
903 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
904 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
905 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
909 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
910 * Moose::Meta::Method
913 * Moose::Error::Default
914 * Moose::Error::Croak
915 * Moose::Error::Confess
916 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
917 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
918 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
919 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
920 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
921 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
923 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
925 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
926 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
929 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
930 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
931 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
933 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
934 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
935 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
936 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
937 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
940 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
941 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
943 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
944 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
945 several major changes in this release of Moose.
946 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
949 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
951 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
952 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
954 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
959 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
960 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
962 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
964 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
965 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
966 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
967 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
968 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
969 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
971 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
972 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
973 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
975 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
976 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
977 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
980 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
981 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
982 dependency to 0.64_07.
984 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
985 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
986 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
989 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
992 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
993 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
994 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
995 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
996 coincidental exception. (t0m).
997 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
999 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1000 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1002 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1004 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1005 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1009 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1010 method when that method was provided by another role being
1011 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1012 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1014 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1016 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1017 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1019 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1020 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1021 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1022 - added test for this (t0m)
1024 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1025 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1026 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1028 - added test for this (t0m)
1031 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1032 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1033 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1036 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1037 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1039 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1041 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1042 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1044 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1045 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1046 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1048 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1049 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1052 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1053 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1054 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1055 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1059 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1060 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1061 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1064 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1065 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1066 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1067 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1070 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1074 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1075 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1076 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1078 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1079 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1080 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1081 created so that the process can be more easily
1082 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1084 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1085 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1086 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1087 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1089 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1090 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1093 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1094 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1096 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1097 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1098 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1100 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1101 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1102 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1104 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1105 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1107 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1108 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1111 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1112 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1116 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1117 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1119 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1120 ... this is not my day today ...
1122 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1123 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1124 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1125 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1126 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1129 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1130 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1131 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1132 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1133 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1136 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1138 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1139 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1140 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1141 this is not ever something you want to do
1142 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1143 - added tests for this (stevan)
1146 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1148 - added test for this
1150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1151 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1152 - added tests for this (wreis)
1154 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1155 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1156 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1157 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1159 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1160 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1161 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1164 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1166 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1168 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1171 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1172 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1173 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1174 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1175 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1176 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1177 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1178 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1179 - added tests for this
1181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1182 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1183 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1184 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1186 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1188 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1189 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1190 - added tests for this (sartak)
1191 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1192 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1195 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1197 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1198 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1200 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1201 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1202 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1203 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1205 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1207 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1208 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1211 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1212 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1213 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1216 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1217 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1219 - added docs for this (TODO).
1220 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1221 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1222 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1223 - fix builder and default both being used
1228 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1230 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1231 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1232 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1236 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1240 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1241 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1242 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1244 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1245 - move the ClassName type check code to
1246 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1248 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1249 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1251 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1252 (early morning release engineering)--
1254 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1255 which was causing the indexer to choke
1257 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1258 (late night release engineering)--
1260 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1261 changes in this release
1263 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1264 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1265 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1267 * Moose::Meta::Class
1268 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1269 since it is called so often by &meta
1271 * Moose::Meta::Class
1273 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1274 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1278 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1279 method for immutablization to check if the
1280 destructor object even needs to be created
1283 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1284 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1285 - added more descriptive error message to help
1286 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1287 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1289 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1291 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1292 XS based functionality is now optional
1293 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1294 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1295 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1297 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1298 to take care of this, mostly we added
1299 support for the package_name and name
1300 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1301 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1302 support regexp matching of names
1303 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1304 - tests added for this
1305 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1306 is currently not supported in roles,
1307 but, ... patches welcome
1308 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1309 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1310 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1313 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1314 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1315 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1316 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1317 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1318 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1319 - added test for this
1321 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1322 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1323 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1326 * Moose::Meta::Class
1327 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1331 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1333 - added tests for this
1334 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1335 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1337 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1338 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1339 themselves parameterizable types
1341 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1342 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1343 called by the inlined immutable
1345 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1347 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1348 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1349 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1350 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1352 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1353 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1357 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1358 causing occasional cpantester failures
1359 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1360 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1362 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1364 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1365 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1368 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1369 ->body when looping through the
1370 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1372 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1373 eating the $@ values, and so not
1374 working correctly, it still kind of
1375 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1376 - added tests for this
1378 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1379 - added new recipe for immutable
1380 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1382 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1383 - added new recipe for builder and
1384 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1386 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1387 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1388 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1391 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1393 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1394 since Module::Install has done that.
1396 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1398 drink more coffee before
1399 doing release engineering
1401 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1402 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1403 modules. This fixes that.
1405 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008

1516 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1518 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1809 - added tests for this
1812 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1813 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1852 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1855 - fixed how required methods are handled
1856 when they encounter overriden or modified
1857 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1858 - added tests for this
1860 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1868 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1871 * Parameterized Types
1872 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1873 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1874 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1875 They can also be nested:
1876 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1877 And work with the type unions as well:
1878 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1880 * Better Framework Extendability
1881 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1882 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1883 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1884 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1887 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1888 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1889 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1890 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2088 * Moose::Meta::Class
2089 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2090 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2091 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2093 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2094 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2096 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2097 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2098 so this release is just to fix that.
2101 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2102 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2103 (thanks to konobi for this)
2104 - added tests and docs
2106 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2107 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2109 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2110 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2111 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2112 - added tests for this
2113 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2114 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2115 functions to facilitate introspection.
2117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2118 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2119 to build the list of delegated methods
2120 correctly (and not override important
2121 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2123 - added tests and docs for this
2124 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2125 so that you can actually document your
2126 attributes and inspect them through the
2128 - added tests and docs for this
2130 * Moose::Meta::Class
2131 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2132 it will first look in for the class in the
2133 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2134 then default to just loading $name.
2135 - added tests and docs for this
2137 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2138 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2139 - added test for this
2142 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2143 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2144 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2145 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2147 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2148 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2151 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2153 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2154 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2155 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2158 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2159 !! for this developer release to work !!
2161 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2162 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2163 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2164 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2165 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2166 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2167 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2168 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2169 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2170 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2171 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2173 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2174 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2175 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2176 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2179 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2180 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2181 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2182 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2183 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2185 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2187 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2188 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2191 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2192 called unless they actually need to be.
2193 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2194 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2195 DEMOLISH method present.
2197 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2198 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2199 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2200 type constraint, which allows for a
2201 hand optimized version of the type
2202 constraint to be used when possible.
2203 - Any internally created type constraints
2204 now provide an optimized version as well.
2206 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2208 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2209 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2210 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2212 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2213 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2214 your class namespace of these exported
2217 * Moose::Meta::Class
2218 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2219 comes up during global destruction
2221 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2225 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2229 - changed how we do type checks so that
2230 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2233 - moved accessor generation methods to
2234 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2235 conform to the API changes from
2238 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2239 - changed how constraints are compiled
2240 so that we do less recursion and more
2241 iteration. This makes the type check
2243 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2246 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2247 - created this from methods formerly found in
2248 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2250 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2251 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2253 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2254 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2256 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2257 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2259 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2262 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2263 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2264 - added tests for this
2265 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2266 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2267 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2268 - removed tests for this
2270 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2272 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2273 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2274 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2277 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2278 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2279 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2281 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2282 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2283 comments for more info.
2286 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2287 asked questions and common problems
2289 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2290 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2291 - added tests for this
2293 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2294 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2295 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2296 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2298 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2299 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2302 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2303 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2304 is much appreciated :)
2305 - added tests for this
2307 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2308 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2309 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2312 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2313 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2315 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2317 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2318 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2322 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2323 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2324 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2326 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2328 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2331 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2332 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2333 keywords because we need to localize them.
2334 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2336 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2337 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2338 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2341 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2344 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2345 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2346 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2349 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2350 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2351 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2353 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2355 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2356 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2357 bottom of your class file.
2360 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2363 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2365 - improved error message when loading modules so
2366 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2367 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2368 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2371 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2372 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2373 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2375 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2376 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2378 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2379 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2380 turn them on for you.
2381 - added tests for this

2410 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2411 - This release works in combination with
2412 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2413 release because it uses the a new
2414 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2415 complete Role implementation. It has
2416 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2417 the the previous CPAN version. This
2418 release also lacks good updated docs,
2419 the official release will have updated docs.
2422 - refactored the keyword exports
2423 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2424 accepts more than one Role at a time

2435 string enumerations which can be used as
2437 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2440 - more careful checking of params to new()
2443 - much work done on the role composition
2444 - many new tests for conflict detection
2445 and composition edge cases
2446 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2447 looking at the tests
2449 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2450 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2451 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2453 * Moose::Meta::Class

2456 - some small additions to support Roles
2458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2459 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2461 - some small changes to support the new
2463 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2464 with the 'handles' option
2465 - added several tests for this
2466 - no docs for this yet

2470 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2471 thanks to chansen for this commit
2472 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2473 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2474 on a per-attribute basis
2475 - added tests for this
2476 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2477 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
