1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
9 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
10 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
11 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
13 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2010
17 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
20 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2010
24 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
25 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
26 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
28 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
32 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
33 policy. (Chris Prather)
35 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
36 on this new support policy. (doy)
40 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
41 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
42 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
44 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed all the docs. Now it's
45 listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
47 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
51 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
52 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
53 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
54 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
61 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
62 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
65 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
69 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
70 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
72 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
73 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
77 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
78 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
79 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
80 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
81 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
82 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
84 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
85 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
87 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
88 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
89 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
92 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
93 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
95 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
100 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
101 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
103 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
107 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
108 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
109 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
111 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
115 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
116 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
117 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
119 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
120 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
123 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
124 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
127 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
128 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
129 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
131 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
132 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
137 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
138 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
139 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
140 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
142 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
143 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
145 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
146 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
148 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
149 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
150 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
151 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
153 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
154 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
155 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
158 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
159 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
160 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
161 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
163 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
164 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
167 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
168 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
169 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
171 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
175 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
176 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
177 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
179 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
180 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
181 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
184 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
185 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
186 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
188 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
189 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
190 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
192 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
193 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
197 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
198 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
199 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
201 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
202 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
203 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
204 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
206 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
210 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
211 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
212 value is a reference.
214 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
215 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
217 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
221 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
222 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
223 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
225 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
229 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
230 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
234 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
235 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
236 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
238 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
239 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
240 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
242 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
246 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
248 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
252 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
254 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
255 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
260 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
261 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
263 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
264 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
265 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
266 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
267 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
269 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
270 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
271 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
272 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
274 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
278 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
279 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
284 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
286 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
288 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
293 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
295 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
299 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
300 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
301 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
303 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
304 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
305 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
306 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
308 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
309 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
310 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
311 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
312 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
315 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
320 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
321 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
322 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
323 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
324 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
327 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
331 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
334 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
335 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
339 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
340 function (not just method). (doy)
344 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
345 and aren't easily installable/testable.
347 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
351 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
352 to be overridden more easily (doy).
354 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
358 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
359 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
361 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
365 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
366 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
367 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
369 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
373 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
374 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
375 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
377 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
378 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
382 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
383 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
385 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
386 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
390 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
391 is applied to a class (t0m).
393 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
394 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
396 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
399 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
400 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
402 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
403 be much more robust. (doy)
405 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
407 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
410 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
414 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
415 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
417 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
421 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
422 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
424 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
427 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
428 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
429 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
431 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
432 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
433 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
436 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
438 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
442 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
443 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
447 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
449 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
453 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
454 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
458 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
459 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
463 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
465 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
469 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
470 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
474 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
475 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
479 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
480 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
482 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
486 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
487 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
488 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
491 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
495 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
496 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
497 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
498 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
500 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
504 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
505 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
506 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
510 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
513 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
517 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
518 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
519 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
523 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
524 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
526 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
527 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
528 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
529 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
531 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
535 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
539 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
540 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
542 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
543 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
544 - Moose::Util::does_role
545 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
546 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
547 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
549 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
553 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
554 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
555 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
558 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
562 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
563 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
566 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
570 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
571 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
574 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
578 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
580 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
581 class. (Dave Rolsky).
583 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
584 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
585 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
587 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
588 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
589 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
592 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
593 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
595 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
596 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
597 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
599 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
601 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
602 substr et al, again. (sorear)
604 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
606 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
609 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
610 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
612 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
613 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
615 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
616 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
617 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
618 dependencies installed.
620 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
621 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
624 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
626 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
630 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
632 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
633 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
634 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
636 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
637 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
638 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
640 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
641 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
644 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
645 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
646 others. (nothingmuch)
648 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
649 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
650 remove_accessors. (doy)
652 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
653 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
654 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
656 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
657 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
659 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
660 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
661 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
662 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
665 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
666 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
668 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
669 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
671 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
673 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
674 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
677 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
678 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
679 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
680 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
681 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
683 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
684 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
685 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
686 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
687 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
688 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
689 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
692 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
693 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
694 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
695 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
696 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
698 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
699 which were not receiving the value of
700 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
701 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
702 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
703 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
707 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
708 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
709 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
710 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
711 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
714 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
715 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
716 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
717 - added tests for this (Stevan)
720 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
721 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
722 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
725 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
726 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
727 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
729 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
730 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
731 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
734 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
735 class if you pass it options for
736 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
737 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
738 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
739 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
740 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
741 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
742 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
743 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
744 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
746 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
747 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
748 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
749 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
750 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
753 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
754 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
755 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
756 existing delegation API. (hdp)
758 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
759 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
760 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
761 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
762 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
763 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
766 * Moose::Error::Croak
767 * Moose::Error::Confess
768 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
769 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
772 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
775 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
776 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
777 installing a broken sub. (doy)
780 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
783 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
784 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
785 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
787 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
788 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
789 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
790 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
791 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
793 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
794 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
797 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
799 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
800 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
803 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
804 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
806 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
807 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
808 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
809 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
811 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
812 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
813 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
814 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
815 using it for new code!
817 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
818 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
819 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
820 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
822 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
823 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
824 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
825 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
826 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
827 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
828 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
829 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
832 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
835 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
836 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
839 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
840 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
842 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
843 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
844 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
847 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
848 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
849 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
852 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
853 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
855 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
856 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
857 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
860 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
862 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
863 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
864 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
865 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
867 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
869 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
872 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
873 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
874 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
876 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
877 associated_methods. (hdp)
878 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
879 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
880 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
881 misspelled) arguments
883 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
884 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
885 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
886 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
888 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
889 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
890 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
892 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
895 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
896 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
897 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
900 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
901 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
903 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
905 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
906 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
908 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
909 * Moose::Manual::Types
910 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
911 string parsing rathole (mst)
913 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
914 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
915 using plain objects instead
917 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
918 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
921 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
923 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
924 three times today (perigrin)
925 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
926 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
928 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
929 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
930 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
931 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
934 - A role's required methods are now represented by
935 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
936 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
937 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
938 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
939 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
942 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
943 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
944 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
945 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
948 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
950 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
953 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
955 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
958 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
959 during global destruction. This method has been made more
960 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
964 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
965 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
968 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
969 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
971 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
972 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
973 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
976 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
978 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
979 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
982 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
986 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
987 methods during global destruction (doy)
990 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
991 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
995 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
996 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
999 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1000 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1003 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1004 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1006 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1008 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1012 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1013 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1014 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1017 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1018 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1019 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1022 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1024 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1025 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1026 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1029 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1030 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1031 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1032 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1034 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1035 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1036 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1039 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1042 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1043 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1044 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1048 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1049 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1051 * Moose::Meta::Class
1052 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1054 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1056 * Moose::Meta::Class
1057 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1058 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1061 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1062 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1065 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1066 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1069 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1072 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1074 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1075 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1078 * Moose::Meta::Class
1079 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1081 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1082 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1085 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1086 * More deprecations and renamings
1087 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1088 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1089 when an object is constructed)
1092 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1093 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1094 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1096 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1097 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1098 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1099 feature, and it works again.
1102 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1104 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1106 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1107 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1108 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1110 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1111 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1112 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1113 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1114 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1116 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1117 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1118 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1119 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1120 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1123 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1124 metaclass object. (hdp)
1126 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1127 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1128 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1129 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1130 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1131 point out this fact. (hdp)
1133 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1134 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1136 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1137 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1139 * Moose::Meta::Class
1140 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1141 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1142 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1143 called during instance construction were passed the
1144 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1145 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1147 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1148 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1151 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1152 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1153 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1156 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1157 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1158 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1159 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1160 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1162 - Moose::Meta::Class
1163 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1165 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1166 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1167 when an object is constructed)
1168 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1170 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1171 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1172 when an object is constructed)
1173 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1174 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1175 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1178 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1180 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1181 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1183 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1185 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1186 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1187 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1190 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1191 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1193 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1195 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1196 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1198 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1199 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1202 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1203 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1206 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1207 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1208 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1210 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1211 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1215 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1216 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1217 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1219 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1220 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1223 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1224 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1225 with recommended workarounds.
1227 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1228 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1230 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1231 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1232 (yes, spelled like that).
1234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1235 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1237 * Moose::Meta::Class
1238 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1239 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1241 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1244 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1245 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1246 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1247 instead. Reported by doy.
1249 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1251 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1252 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1254 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1255 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1256 message) is now deprecated.
1257 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1258 often got it wrong. For example:
1260 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1262 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1266 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1267 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1268 bite you in weird cases.
1270 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1271 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1272 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1273 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1275 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1276 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1280 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1283 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1284 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1287 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1288 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1290 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1291 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1294 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1295 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1296 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1297 - added tests for this (stevan)
1299 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1300 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1301 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1302 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1306 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1307 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1308 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1309 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1311 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1312 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1313 - added tests for this (rafl)
1315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1316 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1317 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1318 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1322 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1323 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1326 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1327 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1328 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1330 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1332 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1333 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1335 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1336 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1337 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1338 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1339 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1341 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1342 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1343 error message did not specify the attribute name
1346 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1348 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1350 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1351 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1352 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1354 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1355 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1358 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1360 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1361 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1362 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1363 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1365 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1367 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1368 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1369 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1370 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1372 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1373 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1374 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1377 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1378 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1379 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1380 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1382 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1383 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1384 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1385 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1386 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1388 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1389 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1390 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1391 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1392 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1393 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1395 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1396 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1397 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1398 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1399 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1400 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1402 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1403 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1405 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1406 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1407 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1408 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1410 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1411 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1414 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1418 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1419 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1421 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1422 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1423 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1424 guts. (nothingmuch).
1426 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1427 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1428 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1430 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1431 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1432 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1433 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1435 * Moose::Meta::Class
1436 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1439 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1440 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1442 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1443 * Moose::Unsweetened
1444 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1447 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1448 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1449 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1450 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1451 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1452 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1454 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1455 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1456 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1457 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1458 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1459 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1460 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1461 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1462 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1463 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1465 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1467 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1468 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1470 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1471 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1472 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1473 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1475 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1476 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1477 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1478 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1479 same methods for a single role did not work
1480 right (worked just fine with multiple
1482 - added test for this (stevan)
1484 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1485 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1486 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1489 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1490 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1491 - added test for this (t0m)
1494 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1495 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1496 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1498 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1499 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1500 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1501 - added test for this (t0m)
1503 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1504 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1505 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1506 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1507 - added test for this (perigrin)
1510 - create method for constructing a role
1511 dynamically (Sartak)
1512 - added test for this (Sartak)
1513 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1514 - added test for this (Sartak)
1517 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1519 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1520 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1521 methods is useful (Sartak)
1523 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1525 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1528 * Moose::Meta::Class
1529 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1530 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1531 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1532 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1533 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1534 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1537 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1538 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1540 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1541 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1542 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1543 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1544 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1546 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1548 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1549 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1550 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1553 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1554 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1555 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1556 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1557 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1558 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1561 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1562 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1563 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1564 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1565 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1566 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1567 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1568 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1569 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1570 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1571 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1573 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1574 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1577 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1578 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1579 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1580 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1581 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1583 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1585 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1586 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1587 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1589 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1590 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1592 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1593 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1594 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1595 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1598 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1599 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1601 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1603 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1604 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1606 * Moose::Meta::Class
1607 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1608 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1609 a required attribute
1611 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1612 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1613 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1614 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1616 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1617 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1619 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1620 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1621 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1622 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1623 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1624 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1625 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1626 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1628 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1629 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1630 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1632 * Roles and role application
1633 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1634 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1635 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1636 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1637 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1639 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1640 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1643 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1644 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1645 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1646 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1647 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1650 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1651 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1652 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1653 changes in the Moose internals.
1655 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1656 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1657 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1660 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1661 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1662 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1663 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1665 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1666 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1667 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1668 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1670 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1671 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1672 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1673 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1674 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1675 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1676 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1677 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1678 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1679 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1680 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1681 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1682 constraint implementations.
1684 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1688 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1689 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1690 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1691 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1692 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1693 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1694 - added tests for this (rafl)
1696 * Moose::Meta::Class
1697 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1698 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1699 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1700 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1701 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1702 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1703 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1704 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1707 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1708 - added tests for this (thepler)
1710 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1711 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1712 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1713 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1716 * Moose::Meta::Class
1717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1718 * Moose::Meta::Method
1721 * Moose::Error::Default
1722 * Moose::Error::Croak
1723 * Moose::Error::Confess
1724 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1725 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1726 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1727 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1728 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1729 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1731 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1733 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1734 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1736 * Moose::Unsweetened
1737 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1738 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1739 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1741 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1742 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1743 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1744 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1745 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1748 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1749 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1751 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1752 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1753 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1754 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1757 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1759 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1760 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1762 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1765 - Various bug fixes.
1767 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1768 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1770 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1772 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1773 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1774 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1775 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1776 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1777 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1779 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1780 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1781 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1783 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1784 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1785 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1788 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1789 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1790 dependency to 0.64_07.
1792 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1793 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1794 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1796 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1797 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1800 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1801 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1802 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1803 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1804 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1805 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1807 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1808 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1810 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1812 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1813 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1817 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1818 method when that method was provided by another role being
1819 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1820 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1822 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1824 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1825 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1827 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1828 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1829 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1830 - added test for this (t0m)
1832 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1833 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1834 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1836 - added test for this (t0m)
1839 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1840 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1841 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1844 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1845 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1847 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1849 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1850 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1852 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1853 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1854 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1856 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1857 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1860 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1861 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1862 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1863 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1867 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1868 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1869 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1872 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1873 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1874 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1875 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1878 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1882 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1883 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1884 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1886 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1887 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1888 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1889 created so that the process can be more easily
1890 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1892 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1893 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1894 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1895 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1897 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1898 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1901 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1902 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1904 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1905 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1906 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1908 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1909 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1910 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1912 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1913 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1915 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1916 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1919 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1920 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1924 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1925 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1927 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1928 ... this is not my day today ...
1930 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1931 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1932 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1933 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1934 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1937 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1938 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1939 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1940 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1941 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1944 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1946 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1947 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1948 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1949 this is not ever something you want to do
1950 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1951 - added tests for this (stevan)
1954 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1956 - added test for this
1958 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1959 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1960 - added tests for this (wreis)
1962 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1963 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1964 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1965 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1967 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1968 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1969 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1972 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1974 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1976 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1979 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1980 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1981 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1982 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1983 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1984 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1985 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1986 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1987 - added tests for this
1989 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1990 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1991 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1992 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1994 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1997 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1998 - added tests for this (sartak)
1999 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2000 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2003 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2005 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2006 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2008 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2009 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2010 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2011 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2013 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2015 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2016 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2019 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2020 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2021 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2023 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2024 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2025 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2027 - added docs for this (TODO).
2028 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2029 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2030 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2031 - fix builder and default both being used
2036 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2038 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2039 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2040 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2044 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2048 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2049 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2050 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2052 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2053 - move the ClassName type check code to

2099 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2100 XS based functionality is now optional
2101 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2102 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2103 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2127 - added test for this
2129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2173 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2176 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2177 ->body when looping through the
2178 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2180 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2181 eating the $@ values, and so not
2182 working correctly, it still kind of
2183 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2184 - added tests for this

2206 drink more coffee before
2207 doing release engineering
2209 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2324 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2326 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2663 - fixed how required methods are handled
2664 when they encounter overriden or modified
2665 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2666 - added tests for this
2668 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2669 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2670 the | always creates a union and so is
2671 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2672 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2674 - added more tests for this
2676 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2679 * Parameterized Types
2680 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2681 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2682 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2683 They can also be nested:
2684 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2685 And work with the type unions as well:
2686 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2688 * Better Framework Extendability
2689 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2690 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2691 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2692 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2695 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2696 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2697 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2698 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2735 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2737 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks

2747 +++ with new features added as well +++
2749 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2750 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2751 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of

2753 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2755 - added tests for this
2757 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2763 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2764 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2766 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2855 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2856 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2857 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2858 prototypes for functions
2859 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2860 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2869 - tests added for this
2870 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2873 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2874 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2875 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2876 - added tests for this
2878 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2880 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2902 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2904 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2905 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2906 so this release is just to fix that.
2909 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2910 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2911 (thanks to konobi for this)
2912 - added tests and docs

2923 functions to facilitate introspection.
2925 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2926 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2927 to build the list of delegated methods
2928 correctly (and not override important
2929 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2931 - added tests and docs for this
2932 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2933 so that you can actually document your
2934 attributes and inspect them through the
2936 - added tests and docs for this
2938 * Moose::Meta::Class
2939 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2940 it will first look in for the class in the
2941 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2942 then default to just loading $name.
2943 - added tests and docs for this
2945 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2946 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2947 - added test for this
2950 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2951 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2952 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2953 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2955 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2956 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2959 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2961 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2962 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2963 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2966 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2967 !! for this developer release to work !!
2969 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2970 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2971 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2972 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2973 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2974 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2975 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2976 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2977 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2978 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2979 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2981 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2982 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2983 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2984 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2987 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2988 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2989 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2990 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2991 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2993 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2995 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2996 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2999 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3000 called unless they actually need to be.
3001 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3002 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3003 DEMOLISH method present.
3005 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3006 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3007 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3008 type constraint, which allows for a
3009 hand optimized version of the type
3010 constraint to be used when possible.
3011 - Any internally created type constraints
3012 now provide an optimized version as well.
3014 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3016 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3017 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3018 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3020 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3021 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3022 your class namespace of these exported
3025 * Moose::Meta::Class
3026 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3027 comes up during global destruction
3029 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3033 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3037 - changed how we do type checks so that
3038 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3041 - moved accessor generation methods to
3042 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3043 conform to the API changes from
3046 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3047 - changed how constraints are compiled
3048 so that we do less recursion and more
3049 iteration. This makes the type check
3051 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3054 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3055 - created this from methods formerly found in
3056 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3058 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3059 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3061 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3062 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

3069 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3070 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3071 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3072 - added tests for this
3073 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3074 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3075 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3076 - removed tests for this
3078 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3080 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3081 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3082 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3085 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3086 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3087 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3089 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3090 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3091 comments for more info.
3094 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3095 asked questions and common problems
3097 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3098 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3099 - added tests for this
3101 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3102 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3103 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3104 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3106 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3107 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3110 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3111 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3112 is much appreciated :)
3113 - added tests for this
3115 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3116 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3117 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3120 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3121 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3123 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3125 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3126 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3130 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3131 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3132 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3134 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3136 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3139 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3140 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3141 keywords because we need to localize them.
3142 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3144 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3145 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3146 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3149 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3152 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3153 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3154 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3157 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3158 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3159 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3161 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3163 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3164 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3165 bottom of your class file.
3168 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3171 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3173 - improved error message when loading modules so
3174 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3175 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3176 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3179 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3180 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3181 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3183 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3184 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3186 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3187 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3188 turn them on for you.
3189 - added tests for this
3190 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3191 in Moose::Meta::Class

3218 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3219 - This release works in combination with
3220 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3221 release because it uses the a new
3222 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3223 complete Role implementation. It has
3224 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3225 the the previous CPAN version. This
3226 release also lacks good updated docs,
3227 the official release will have updated docs.
3230 - refactored the keyword exports
3231 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3232 accepts more than one Role at a time

3243 string enumerations which can be used as
3245 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3248 - more careful checking of params to new()
3251 - much work done on the role composition
3252 - many new tests for conflict detection
3253 and composition edge cases
3254 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3255 looking at the tests

3280 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3281 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3282 on a per-attribute basis
3283 - added tests for this
3284 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3285 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3286 experimental feature and probably not finished
