1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
9 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
10 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
11 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
13 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
14 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
15 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
19 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
20 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
24 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
25 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
26 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
27 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
33 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
34 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
37 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
41 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
42 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
44 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
45 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
49 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
50 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
51 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
52 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
53 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
54 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
56 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
57 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
59 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
60 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
61 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
64 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
65 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
67 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
72 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
73 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
75 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
79 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
80 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
81 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
83 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
87 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
88 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
89 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
91 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
92 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
95 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
96 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
99 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
100 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
101 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
103 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
104 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
109 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
110 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
111 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
112 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
114 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
115 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
117 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
118 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
120 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
121 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
122 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
123 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
125 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
126 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
127 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
130 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
131 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
132 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
133 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
135 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
136 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
139 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
140 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
141 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
143 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
147 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
148 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
149 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
151 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
152 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
153 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
156 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
157 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
158 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
160 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
161 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
162 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
164 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
165 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
169 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
170 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
171 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
173 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
174 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
175 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
176 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
178 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
182 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
183 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
184 value is a reference.
186 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
187 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
189 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
193 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
194 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
195 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
197 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
201 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
202 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
206 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
207 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
208 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
210 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
211 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
212 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
214 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
218 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
220 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
224 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
226 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
227 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
232 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
233 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
235 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
236 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
237 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
238 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
239 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
241 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
242 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
243 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
244 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
246 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
250 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
251 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
256 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
258 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
260 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
265 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
267 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
271 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
272 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
273 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
275 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
276 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
277 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
278 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
280 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
281 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
282 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
283 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
284 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
287 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
292 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
293 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
294 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
295 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
296 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
299 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
303 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
306 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
307 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
311 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
312 function (not just method). (doy)
316 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
317 and aren't easily installable/testable.
319 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
323 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
324 to be overridden more easily (doy).
326 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
330 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
331 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
333 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
337 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
338 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
339 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
341 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
345 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
346 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
347 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
349 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
350 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
354 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
355 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
357 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
358 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
362 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
363 is applied to a class (t0m).
365 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
366 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
368 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
371 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
372 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
374 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
375 be much more robust. (doy)
377 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
379 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
382 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
386 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
387 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
389 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
393 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
394 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
396 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
399 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
400 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
401 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
403 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
404 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
405 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
408 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
410 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
414 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
415 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
419 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
421 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
425 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
426 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
430 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
431 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
435 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
437 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
441 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
442 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
446 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
447 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
451 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
452 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
454 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
458 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
459 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
460 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
463 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
467 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
468 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
469 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
470 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
472 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
476 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
477 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
478 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
482 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
485 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
490 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
491 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
495 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
496 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
498 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
499 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
500 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
501 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
503 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
507 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
511 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
512 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
514 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
515 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
516 - Moose::Util::does_role
517 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
518 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
519 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
521 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
525 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
526 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
527 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
530 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
534 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
535 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
538 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
542 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
543 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
546 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
550 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
552 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
553 class. (Dave Rolsky).
555 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
556 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
557 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
559 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
560 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
561 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
564 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
565 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
567 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
568 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
569 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
571 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
573 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
574 substr et al, again. (sorear)
576 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
578 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
581 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
582 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
584 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
585 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
587 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
588 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
589 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
590 dependencies installed.
592 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
593 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
596 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
598 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
602 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
604 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
605 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
606 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
608 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
609 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
610 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
612 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
613 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
616 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
617 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
618 others. (nothingmuch)
620 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
621 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
622 remove_accessors. (doy)
624 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
625 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
626 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
628 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
629 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
631 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
632 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
633 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
634 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
637 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
638 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
640 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
641 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
643 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
645 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
646 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
650 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
651 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
652 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
653 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
655 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
656 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
657 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
658 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
659 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
660 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
661 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
664 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
665 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
666 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
667 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
668 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
670 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
671 which were not receiving the value of
672 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
673 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
674 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
675 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
679 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
680 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
681 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
682 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
683 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
686 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
687 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
688 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
689 - added tests for this (Stevan)
692 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
693 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
694 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
697 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
698 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
699 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
701 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
702 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
703 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
706 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
707 class if you pass it options for
708 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
709 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
710 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
711 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
712 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
713 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
714 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
715 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
716 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
718 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
719 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
720 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
721 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
722 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
725 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
726 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
727 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
728 existing delegation API. (hdp)
730 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
731 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
732 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
733 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
734 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
735 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
738 * Moose::Error::Croak
739 * Moose::Error::Confess
740 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
741 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
744 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
747 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
748 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
749 installing a broken sub. (doy)
752 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
755 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
756 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
757 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
759 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
760 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
761 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
762 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
763 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
765 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
766 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
769 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
771 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
772 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
775 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
776 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
779 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
780 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
781 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
784 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
785 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
786 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
787 using it for new code!
789 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
790 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
791 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
792 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
794 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
795 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
796 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
797 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
798 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
799 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
800 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
801 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
804 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
807 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
808 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
811 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
812 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
814 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
815 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
816 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
819 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
820 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
821 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
824 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
825 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
827 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
828 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
829 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
832 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
833 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
834 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
835 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
836 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
837 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
839 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
841 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
845 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
846 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
848 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
849 associated_methods. (hdp)
850 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
851 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
852 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
853 misspelled) arguments
855 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
856 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
857 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
858 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
860 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
861 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
862 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
864 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
867 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
868 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
869 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
872 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
873 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
875 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
877 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
878 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
880 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
881 * Moose::Manual::Types
882 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
883 string parsing rathole (mst)
885 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
886 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
887 using plain objects instead
889 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
890 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
893 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
895 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
896 three times today (perigrin)
897 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
898 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
900 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
901 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
902 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
903 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
906 - A role's required methods are now represented by
907 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
908 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
909 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
910 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
911 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
914 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
915 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
916 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
917 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
920 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
922 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
925 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
927 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
930 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
931 during global destruction. This method has been made more
932 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
936 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
937 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
940 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
941 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
943 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
944 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
945 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
948 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
950 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
951 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
954 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
958 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
959 methods during global destruction (doy)
962 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
963 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
967 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
968 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
971 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
972 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
975 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
976 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
978 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
980 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
984 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
985 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
986 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
989 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
990 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
991 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
994 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
996 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
997 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
998 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1001 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1002 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1003 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1004 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1006 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1007 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1008 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1011 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1014 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1015 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1016 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1020 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1021 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1023 * Moose::Meta::Class
1024 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1026 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1028 * Moose::Meta::Class
1029 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1030 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1033 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1034 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1037 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1038 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1041 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1044 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1047 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1050 * Moose::Meta::Class
1051 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1053 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1054 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1057 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1058 * More deprecations and renamings
1059 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1060 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1061 when an object is constructed)
1064 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1065 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1066 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1068 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1069 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1070 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1071 feature, and it works again.
1074 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1076 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1078 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1079 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1080 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1082 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1083 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1084 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1085 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1086 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1088 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1089 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1090 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1091 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1092 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1095 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1096 metaclass object. (hdp)
1098 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1099 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1100 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1101 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1102 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1103 point out this fact. (hdp)
1105 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1106 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1108 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1109 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1111 * Moose::Meta::Class
1112 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1113 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1114 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1115 called during instance construction were passed the
1116 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1117 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1119 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1120 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1123 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1124 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1125 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1128 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1129 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1130 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1131 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1132 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1134 - Moose::Meta::Class
1135 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1137 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1138 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1139 when an object is constructed)
1140 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1142 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1143 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1144 when an object is constructed)
1145 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1146 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1147 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1150 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1152 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1153 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1155 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1157 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1158 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1159 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1161 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1162 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1163 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1165 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1167 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1168 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1170 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1171 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1174 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1175 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1178 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1179 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1180 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1182 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1183 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1187 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1188 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1189 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1191 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1192 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1195 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1196 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1197 with recommended workarounds.
1199 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1200 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1202 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1203 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1204 (yes, spelled like that).
1206 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1207 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1209 * Moose::Meta::Class
1210 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1211 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1213 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1215 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1216 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1217 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1218 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1219 instead. Reported by doy.
1221 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1223 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1224 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1227 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1228 message) is now deprecated.
1229 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1230 often got it wrong. For example:
1232 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1234 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1238 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1239 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1240 bite you in weird cases.
1242 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1243 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1244 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1245 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1247 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1248 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1252 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1255 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1256 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1259 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1260 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1262 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1263 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1266 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1267 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1268 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1269 - added tests for this (stevan)
1271 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1272 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1273 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1274 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1278 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1279 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1280 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1281 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1283 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1284 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1285 - added tests for this (rafl)
1287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1288 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1289 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1290 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1294 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1295 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1298 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1299 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1300 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1302 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1304 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1305 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1307 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1308 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1309 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1310 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1311 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1313 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1314 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1315 error message did not specify the attribute name
1318 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1320 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1322 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1323 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1324 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1327 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1330 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1332 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1333 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1334 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1335 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1337 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1339 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1340 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1341 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1342 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1345 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1346 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1348 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1349 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1350 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1351 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1352 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1354 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1355 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1356 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1357 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1358 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1360 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1361 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1362 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1363 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1364 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1365 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1367 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1368 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1369 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1370 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1371 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1372 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1374 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1375 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1377 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1378 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1379 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1380 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1382 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1383 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1386 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1390 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1391 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1393 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1394 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1395 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1396 guts. (nothingmuch).
1398 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1399 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1400 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1403 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1404 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1405 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1407 * Moose::Meta::Class
1408 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1411 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1412 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1414 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1415 * Moose::Unsweetened
1416 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1419 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1420 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1421 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1422 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1423 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1424 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1426 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1427 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1428 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1429 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1430 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1431 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1432 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1433 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1434 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1435 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1437 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1439 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1440 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1442 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1443 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1444 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1445 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1447 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1448 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1449 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1450 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1451 same methods for a single role did not work
1452 right (worked just fine with multiple
1454 - added test for this (stevan)
1456 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1457 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1458 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1461 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1462 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1463 - added test for this (t0m)
1466 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1467 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1468 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1470 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1471 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1472 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1473 - added test for this (t0m)
1475 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1476 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1477 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1478 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1479 - added test for this (perigrin)
1482 - create method for constructing a role
1483 dynamically (Sartak)
1484 - added test for this (Sartak)
1485 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1486 - added test for this (Sartak)
1489 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1491 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1492 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1493 methods is useful (Sartak)
1495 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1497 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1500 * Moose::Meta::Class
1501 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1502 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1503 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1504 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1505 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1506 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1509 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1510 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1512 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1513 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1514 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1515 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1516 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1518 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1520 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1521 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1522 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1525 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1526 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1527 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1528 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1529 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1530 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1533 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1534 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1535 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1536 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1537 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1538 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1539 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1540 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1541 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1542 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1543 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1545 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1546 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1549 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1550 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1551 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1552 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1553 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1555 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1557 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1558 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1559 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1561 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1562 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1564 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1565 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1566 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1567 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1570 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1571 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1573 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1575 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1576 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1578 * Moose::Meta::Class
1579 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1580 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1581 a required attribute
1583 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1584 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1585 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1586 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1588 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1589 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1591 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1592 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1593 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1594 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1595 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1596 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1597 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1598 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1600 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1601 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1602 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1604 * Roles and role application
1605 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1606 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1607 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1608 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1609 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1611 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1612 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1615 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1616 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1617 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1618 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1619 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1622 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1623 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1624 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1625 changes in the Moose internals.
1627 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1628 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1629 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1632 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1633 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1634 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1635 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1637 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1638 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1639 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1640 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1642 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1643 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1644 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1645 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1646 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1647 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1648 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1649 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1650 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1651 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1652 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1653 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1654 constraint implementations.
1656 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1660 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1661 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1662 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1663 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1664 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1665 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1666 - added tests for this (rafl)
1668 * Moose::Meta::Class
1669 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1670 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1671 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1672 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1673 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1674 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1675 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1676 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1679 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1680 - added tests for this (thepler)
1682 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1683 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1684 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1685 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1688 * Moose::Meta::Class
1689 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1690 * Moose::Meta::Method
1693 * Moose::Error::Default
1694 * Moose::Error::Croak
1695 * Moose::Error::Confess
1696 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1697 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1698 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1699 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1700 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1701 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1703 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1705 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1706 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1708 * Moose::Unsweetened
1709 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1710 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1711 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1713 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1714 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1715 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1716 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1717 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1720 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1721 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1723 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1724 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1725 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1726 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1729 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1731 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1732 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1734 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1737 - Various bug fixes.
1739 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1740 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1742 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1744 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1745 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1746 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1747 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1748 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1749 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1751 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1752 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1753 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1755 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1756 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1757 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1760 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1761 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1762 dependency to 0.64_07.
1764 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1765 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1766 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1768 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1769 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1772 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1773 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1774 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1775 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1776 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1777 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1779 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1780 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1782 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1784 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1785 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1789 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1790 method when that method was provided by another role being
1791 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1792 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1794 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1796 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1797 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1799 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1800 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1801 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1802 - added test for this (t0m)
1804 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1805 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1806 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1808 - added test for this (t0m)
1811 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1812 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1813 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1816 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1817 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1819 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1821 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1822 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1824 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1825 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1826 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1829 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1832 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1833 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1834 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1835 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1839 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1840 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1841 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1844 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1845 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1846 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1847 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1850 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1854 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1855 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1856 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1858 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1859 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1860 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1861 created so that the process can be more easily
1862 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1864 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1865 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1866 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1867 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1870 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1873 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1874 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1876 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1877 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1878 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1880 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1881 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1882 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1884 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1885 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1887 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1888 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1891 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1892 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1896 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1897 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1899 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1900 ... this is not my day today ...
1902 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1903 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1904 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1905 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1906 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1909 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1910 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1911 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1912 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1913 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1916 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1918 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1919 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1920 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1921 this is not ever something you want to do
1922 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1923 - added tests for this (stevan)
1926 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1928 - added test for this
1930 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1931 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1932 - added tests for this (wreis)
1934 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1935 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1936 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1937 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1939 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1940 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1941 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1944 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1946 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1948 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1951 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1952 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1953 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1954 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1955 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1956 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1957 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1958 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1959 - added tests for this
1961 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1962 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1963 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1964 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1966 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1968 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1969 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1970 - added tests for this (sartak)
1971 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1972 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1975 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1977 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1978 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1980 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1981 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1982 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1983 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1985 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1987 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1988 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1991 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1992 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1993 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1995 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1996 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1997 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1999 - added docs for this (TODO).
2000 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2001 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2002 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2003 - fix builder and default both being used
2008 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2010 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2011 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2012 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2016 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2020 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2021 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2022 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2024 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2025 - move the ClassName type check code to
2026 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2028 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2029 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2031 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2032 (early morning release engineering)--
2034 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2035 which was causing the indexer to choke
2037 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2038 (late night release engineering)--
2040 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2041 changes in this release
2043 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2044 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2045 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2047 * Moose::Meta::Class
2048 - some optimizations of the &initialize method

2071 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2072 XS based functionality is now optional
2073 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2074 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2075 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2149 ->body when looping through the
2150 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2152 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2153 eating the $@ values, and so not
2154 working correctly, it still kind of
2155 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2156 - added tests for this

2178 drink more coffee before
2179 doing release engineering
2181 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2296 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2298 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2299 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2342 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2343 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2636 when they encounter overriden or modified
2637 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2638 - added tests for this
2640 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2641 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2642 the | always creates a union and so is

2644 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2646 - added more tests for this
2648 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2651 * Parameterized Types
2652 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2653 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2654 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2655 They can also be nested:
2656 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2657 And work with the type unions as well:
2658 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2660 * Better Framework Extendability
2661 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2662 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2663 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2664 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2667 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2668 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2669 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2670 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2673 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2675 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2714 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2715 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2716 - updated the accompanying test as well
2718 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2719 +++ with new features added as well +++
2721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2842 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2845 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2846 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2847 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2848 - added tests for this
2850 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2852 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2904 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2905 so that you can actually document your
2906 attributes and inspect them through the

2910 * Moose::Meta::Class
2911 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2912 it will first look in for the class in the
2913 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2914 then default to just loading $name.
2915 - added tests and docs for this
2917 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2918 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2919 - added test for this
2922 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2923 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2924 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2925 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2927 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2928 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2931 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2933 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2934 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2935 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2938 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2939 !! for this developer release to work !!
2941 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2942 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2943 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2944 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2945 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2946 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2947 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2948 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2949 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2950 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2951 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2953 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2954 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2955 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2956 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2959 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2960 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2961 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2962 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2963 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2965 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2967 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2968 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2971 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2972 called unless they actually need to be.
2973 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2974 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2975 DEMOLISH method present.
2977 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2978 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2979 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2980 type constraint, which allows for a
2981 hand optimized version of the type
2982 constraint to be used when possible.
2983 - Any internally created type constraints
2984 now provide an optimized version as well.
2986 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2988 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2989 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2990 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2992 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2993 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2994 your class namespace of these exported
2997 * Moose::Meta::Class
2998 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2999 comes up during global destruction
3001 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3005 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3009 - changed how we do type checks so that
3010 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3013 - moved accessor generation methods to
3014 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3015 conform to the API changes from
3018 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3019 - changed how constraints are compiled
3020 so that we do less recursion and more
3021 iteration. This makes the type check
3023 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3026 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3027 - created this from methods formerly found in
3028 Moose::Meta::Attribute

3031 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3033 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3034 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

3041 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3042 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3043 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3044 - added tests for this
3045 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3046 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3047 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3048 - removed tests for this
3050 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3052 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3053 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3054 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3057 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3058 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3059 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3061 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3062 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3063 comments for more info.
3066 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3067 asked questions and common problems
3069 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3070 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3071 - added tests for this
3073 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3074 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3075 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3076 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3078 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3079 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3082 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3083 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3084 is much appreciated :)
3085 - added tests for this
3087 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3088 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3089 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3092 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3093 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3095 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3097 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3098 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3102 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3103 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3104 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3106 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3108 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3111 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3112 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3113 keywords because we need to localize them.
3114 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3116 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3117 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3118 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3121 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3124 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3125 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3126 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3129 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3130 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3131 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3133 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3135 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3136 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3137 bottom of your class file.
3140 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3143 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3145 - improved error message when loading modules so
3146 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3147 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3148 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3151 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3152 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3153 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3156 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3158 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3159 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3160 turn them on for you.
3161 - added tests for this

3190 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3191 - This release works in combination with
3192 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3193 release because it uses the a new
3194 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3195 complete Role implementation. It has
3196 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3197 the the previous CPAN version. This
3198 release also lacks good updated docs,
3199 the official release will have updated docs.
3202 - refactored the keyword exports
3203 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3204 accepts more than one Role at a time

3215 string enumerations which can be used as
3217 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3220 - more careful checking of params to new()
3223 - much work done on the role composition
3224 - many new tests for conflict detection
3225 and composition edge cases
3226 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3227 looking at the tests
3229 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3230 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3231 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3250 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3251 thanks to chansen for this commit
3252 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3253 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3254 on a per-attribute basis
3255 - added tests for this
3256 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3257 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3258 experimental feature and probably not finished

3260 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3261 - added tests for this
