1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
6 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
12 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
13 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
17 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
18 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
22 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
23 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
25 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
29 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
30 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
31 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
38 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
39 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
40 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
41 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
47 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
48 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
49 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
53 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
60 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
61 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
62 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
66 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
67 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
69 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
70 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
71 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
72 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
74 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
78 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
82 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
83 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
85 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
86 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
87 - Moose::Util::does_role
88 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
89 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
90 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
92 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
96 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
97 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
98 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
101 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
105 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
106 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
109 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
113 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
114 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
117 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
121 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
123 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
124 class. (Dave Rolsky).
126 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
127 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
128 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
130 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
131 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
132 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
135 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
136 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
138 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
139 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
140 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
142 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
144 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
145 substr et al, again. (sorear)
147 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
149 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
152 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
153 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
155 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
156 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
158 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
159 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
160 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
161 dependencies installed.
163 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
164 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
167 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
169 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
173 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
175 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
176 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
177 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
179 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
180 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
181 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
183 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
184 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
187 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
188 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
189 others. (nothingmuch)
191 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
192 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
193 remove_accessors. (doy)
195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
196 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
197 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
199 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
200 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
202 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
203 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
204 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
205 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
208 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
209 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
211 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
212 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
214 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
216 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
217 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
220 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
221 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
222 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
223 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
224 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
226 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
227 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
229 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
230 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
231 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
232 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
235 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
236 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
237 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
238 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
239 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
241 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
242 which were not receiving the value of
243 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
244 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
245 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
246 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
250 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
251 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
252 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
253 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
254 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
258 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
259 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
260 - added tests for this (Stevan)
263 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
264 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
265 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
268 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
270 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
273 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
274 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
277 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
278 class if you pass it options for
279 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
280 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
281 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
282 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
283 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
284 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
285 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
286 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
287 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
289 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
290 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
291 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
292 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
293 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
296 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
298 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
299 existing delegation API. (hdp)
301 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
302 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
303 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
304 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
305 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
306 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
309 * Moose::Error::Croak
310 * Moose::Error::Confess
311 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
312 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
315 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
318 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
319 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
320 installing a broken sub. (doy)
323 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
326 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
327 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
328 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
330 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
331 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
332 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
333 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
334 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
336 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
337 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
340 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
342 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
343 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
346 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
347 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
349 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
350 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
351 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
352 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
354 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
355 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
356 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
357 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
358 using it for new code!
360 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
361 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
362 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
363 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
365 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
366 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
367 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
368 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
369 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
370 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
371 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
372 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
375 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
378 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
379 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
382 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
383 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
385 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
386 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
387 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
390 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
391 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
392 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
395 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
396 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
398 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
399 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
400 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
403 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
404 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
405 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
406 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
407 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
408 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
410 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
412 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
416 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
417 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
419 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
420 associated_methods. (hdp)
421 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
422 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
423 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
424 misspelled) arguments
426 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
427 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
428 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
429 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
431 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
432 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
433 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
435 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
438 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
439 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
440 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
443 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
444 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
446 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
448 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
449 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
451 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
452 * Moose::Manual::Types
453 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
454 string parsing rathole (mst)
456 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
457 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
458 using plain objects instead
460 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
461 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
464 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
466 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
467 three times today (perigrin)
468 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
469 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
472 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
473 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
474 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
477 - A role's required methods are now represented by
478 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
479 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
480 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
481 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
482 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
485 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
486 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
487 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
488 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
491 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
493 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
496 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
498 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
501 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
502 during global destruction. This method has been made more
503 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
507 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
508 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
511 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
512 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
514 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
515 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
516 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
519 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
521 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
522 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
525 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
529 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
530 methods during global destruction (doy)
533 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
534 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
538 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
539 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
542 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
543 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
546 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
547 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
549 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
551 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
555 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
556 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
557 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
560 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
561 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
562 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
565 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
567 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
568 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
569 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
572 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
573 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
574 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
575 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
577 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
578 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
579 of the Moose core (Sartak)
582 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
585 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
586 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
587 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
591 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
592 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
595 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
597 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
600 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
601 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
604 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
605 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
608 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
609 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
612 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
615 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
617 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
618 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
622 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
624 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
625 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
628 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
629 * More deprecations and renamings
630 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
631 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
632 when an object is constructed)
635 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
636 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
637 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
640 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
641 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
642 feature, and it works again.
645 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
647 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
649 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
650 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
651 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
654 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
655 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
656 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
657 message. Test provided by perigrin.
659 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
660 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
661 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
662 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
663 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
666 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
667 metaclass object. (hdp)
669 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
670 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
671 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
672 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
673 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
674 point out this fact. (hdp)
676 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
677 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
679 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
680 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
683 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
684 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
685 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
686 called during instance construction were passed the
687 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
688 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
690 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
691 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
694 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
695 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
696 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
699 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
700 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
701 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
702 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
703 them, but they are not for "public" use.
706 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
708 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
709 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
710 when an object is constructed)
711 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
713 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
714 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
715 when an object is constructed)
716 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
717 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
718 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
721 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
723 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
724 * No changes from 0.72_01.
726 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
728 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
729 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
730 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
732 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
733 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
734 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
736 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
738 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
739 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
741 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
742 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
745 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
746 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
749 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
750 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
751 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
753 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
754 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
758 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
759 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
760 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
762 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
763 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
766 * Moose::Manual::Delta
767 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
768 with recommended workarounds.
770 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
771 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
773 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
774 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
775 (yes, spelled like that).
777 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
778 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
781 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
782 changes in latest Class::MOP.
784 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
786 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
787 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
788 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
789 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
790 instead. Reported by doy.
792 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
794 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
795 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
798 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
799 message) is now deprecated.
800 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
801 often got it wrong. For example:
803 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
805 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
809 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
810 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
811 bite you in weird cases.
813 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
814 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
815 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
818 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
819 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
823 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
826 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
827 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
830 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
831 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
834 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
837 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
838 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
839 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
840 - added tests for this (stevan)
842 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
843 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
844 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
845 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
849 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
850 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
851 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
852 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
854 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
855 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
856 - added tests for this (rafl)
858 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
859 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
860 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
861 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
865 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
866 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
869 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
870 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
871 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
873 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
875 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
876 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
879 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
880 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
881 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
882 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
884 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
885 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
886 error message did not specify the attribute name
889 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
891 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
893 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
894 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
895 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
897 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
898 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
901 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
903 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
904 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
905 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
906 of fixes and formatting improvements.
908 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
910 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
911 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
912 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
913 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
915 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
916 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
917 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
919 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
920 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
921 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
922 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
923 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
925 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
926 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
927 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
928 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
929 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
931 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
932 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
933 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
934 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
935 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
936 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
938 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
939 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
940 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
941 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
942 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
943 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
945 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
946 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
948 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
949 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
950 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
951 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
953 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
954 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
957 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
961 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
962 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
964 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
965 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
966 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
969 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
970 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
971 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
973 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
974 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
975 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
976 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
979 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
982 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
983 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
985 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
987 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
990 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
991 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
992 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
993 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
994 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
995 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
997 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
998 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
999 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1000 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1001 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1002 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1003 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1005 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1006 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1008 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1010 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1011 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1013 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1014 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1015 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1016 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1018 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1019 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1020 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1021 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1022 same methods for a single role did not work
1023 right (worked just fine with multiple
1025 - added test for this (stevan)
1027 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1028 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1029 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1032 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1033 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1034 - added test for this (t0m)
1037 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1038 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1039 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1041 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1042 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1043 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1044 - added test for this (t0m)
1046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1047 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1048 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1049 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1050 - added test for this (perigrin)
1053 - create method for constructing a role
1054 dynamically (Sartak)
1055 - added test for this (Sartak)
1056 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1057 - added test for this (Sartak)
1060 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1062 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1063 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1064 methods is useful (Sartak)
1066 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1067 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1068 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1071 * Moose::Meta::Class
1072 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1073 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1074 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1075 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1076 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1077 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1080 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1081 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1083 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1084 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1085 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1086 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1087 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1089 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1091 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1092 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1093 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1096 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1097 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1098 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1099 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1100 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1101 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1104 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1105 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1106 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1107 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1108 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1109 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1110 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1111 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1112 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1113 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1114 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1116 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1117 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1120 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1121 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1122 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1123 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1124 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1126 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1128 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1129 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1130 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1132 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1133 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1135 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1136 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1137 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1138 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1141 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1142 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1144 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1146 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1147 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1149 * Moose::Meta::Class
1150 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1151 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1152 a required attribute
1154 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1155 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1156 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1157 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1159 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1160 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1162 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1163 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1164 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1165 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1166 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1167 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1168 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1169 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1171 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1172 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1173 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1175 * Roles and role application
1176 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1177 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1178 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1179 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1180 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1182 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1183 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1186 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1187 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1188 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1189 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1190 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1193 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1194 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1195 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1196 changes in the Moose internals.
1198 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1199 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1200 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1204 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1205 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1206 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1208 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1209 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1210 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1211 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1213 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1214 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1215 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1216 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1217 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1218 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1219 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1220 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1221 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1222 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1223 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1224 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1225 constraint implementations.
1227 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1231 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1232 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1233 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1234 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1235 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1236 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1237 - added tests for this (rafl)
1239 * Moose::Meta::Class
1240 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1241 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1242 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1243 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1244 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1245 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1246 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1247 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1250 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1251 - added tests for this (thepler)
1253 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1254 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1255 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1256 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1259 * Moose::Meta::Class
1260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1261 * Moose::Meta::Method
1264 * Moose::Error::Default
1265 * Moose::Error::Croak
1266 * Moose::Error::Confess
1267 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1268 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1269 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1270 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1271 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1272 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1274 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1276 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1277 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1279 * Moose::Unsweetened
1280 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1281 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1282 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1285 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1286 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1287 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1288 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1291 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1292 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1294 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1295 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1296 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1297 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1300 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1302 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1303 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1305 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1308 - Various bug fixes.
1310 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1311 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1313 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1315 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1316 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1317 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1318 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1319 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1320 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1322 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1323 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1324 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1326 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1327 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1328 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1331 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1332 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1333 dependency to 0.64_07.
1335 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1336 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1337 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1339 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1340 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1343 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1344 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1345 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1346 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1347 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1348 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1350 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1351 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1353 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1355 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1356 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1360 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1361 method when that method was provided by another role being
1362 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)

1372 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1373 - added test for this (t0m)
1375 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1376 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1377 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1379 - added test for this (t0m)
1382 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"

1388 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1390 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

1471 ... this is not my day today ...
1473 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1474 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1475 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1476 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1477 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1480 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1481 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1482 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1483 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1484 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1487 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1489 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1490 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1522 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1523 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1524 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1525 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1526 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1527 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1528 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1529 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1530 - added tests for this
1532 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1533 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1534 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1643 XS based functionality is now optional
1644 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1645 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1646 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2054 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2055 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2056 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2057 Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2060 - type constraint handling
2061 - error handling/messages
2062 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2064 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2065 - added this module to support the refactor
2066 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2068 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2069 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2070 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2074 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2076 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2077 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2078 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2080 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2081 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)

2098 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2099 types without having to explictly define them
2100 - added tests for this
2102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2103 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2104 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2106 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2107 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2108 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2109 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2110 - added tests for this
2111 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2112 a single type at different times instead of
2113 having to do it all in one place
2114 - added tests for this
2116 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2117 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2118 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2121 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2122 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2123 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2124 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2128 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2130 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2138 - added docs for this
2140 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2141 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2142 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2143 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2144 instead it will just return undef.
2145 - added docs for this
2147 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2159 with work correctly.
2160 - added tests for this
2163 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2164 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2167 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

2203 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2206 - fixed how required methods are handled
2207 when they encounter overriden or modified
2208 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2209 - added tests for this
2211 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2212 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2213 the | always creates a union and so is
2214 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2215 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2217 - added more tests for this
2219 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2222 * Parameterized Types
2223 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2224 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2225 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2226 They can also be nested:
2227 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2228 And work with the type unions as well:
2229 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2231 * Better Framework Extendability
2232 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2233 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2234 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2235 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2238 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2239 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2240 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2241 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2244 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2246 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2247 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2250 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2278 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2280 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2281 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2282 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2283 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2285 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2286 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2287 - updated the accompanying test as well
2289 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2290 +++ with new features added as well +++
2292 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2296 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2298 - added tests for this
2300 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2306 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2307 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2309 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2310 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2311 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2312 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2326 (thanks to shlomif).
2328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2329 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2330 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2331 - added tests for this

2334 - added tests for this
2336 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2337 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2338 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

2379 (but not changing the handles option)
2380 - added tests and docs for this
2383 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2384 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2385 - adjusted tests for this
2387 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2388 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2389 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2395 the other side (perigrin)
2397 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2399 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2400 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2401 prototypes for functions
2402 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2403 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2413 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2416 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2417 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2418 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2419 - added tests for this
2421 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2423 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2439 * Moose::Meta::Class
2440 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2441 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2442 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2444 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2445 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2447 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2448 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2449 so this release is just to fix that.
2452 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2453 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2454 (thanks to konobi for this)
2455 - added tests and docs
2457 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2458 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2460 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2461 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2462 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2463 - added tests for this

2465 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2466 functions to facilitate introspection.
2468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2469 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2470 to build the list of delegated methods
2471 correctly (and not override important
2472 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2474 - added tests and docs for this
2475 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2476 so that you can actually document your
2477 attributes and inspect them through the
2479 - added tests and docs for this
2481 * Moose::Meta::Class
2482 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2483 it will first look in for the class in the
2484 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2485 then default to just loading $name.
2486 - added tests and docs for this
2488 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2489 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2490 - added test for this
2493 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2494 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2495 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2496 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2498 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2499 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2502 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2504 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2505 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2506 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2509 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2510 !! for this developer release to work !!
2512 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2513 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2514 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2515 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2516 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2517 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2518 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2519 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2520 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2521 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2522 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2524 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2525 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2526 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2527 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2530 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2531 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2532 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2533 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2534 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2536 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2538 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2539 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2542 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2543 called unless they actually need to be.
2544 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2545 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2546 DEMOLISH method present.
2548 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2549 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2550 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2551 type constraint, which allows for a
2552 hand optimized version of the type
2553 constraint to be used when possible.
2554 - Any internally created type constraints
2555 now provide an optimized version as well.
2557 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2559 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2560 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2561 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2563 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2564 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2565 your class namespace of these exported
2568 * Moose::Meta::Class
2569 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2570 comes up during global destruction
2572 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2576 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2579 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2580 - changed how we do type checks so that
2581 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2584 - moved accessor generation methods to
2585 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2586 conform to the API changes from
2589 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2590 - changed how constraints are compiled
2591 so that we do less recursion and more
2592 iteration. This makes the type check
2594 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2598 - created this from methods formerly found in
2599 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2601 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2602 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2604 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2605 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2607 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2608 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2610 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2612 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2613 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2614 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2615 - added tests for this
2616 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2617 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2618 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2619 - removed tests for this
2621 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2623 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2624 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2625 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2628 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2629 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2630 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2632 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2633 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2634 comments for more info.
2637 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2638 asked questions and common problems
2640 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2641 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2642 - added tests for this
2644 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2645 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2646 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2647 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2649 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2650 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2653 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2654 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2655 is much appreciated :)
2656 - added tests for this
2658 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2659 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2660 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2663 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2664 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2666 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2668 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2669 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2673 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2674 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2675 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2677 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2679 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2682 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2683 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2684 keywords because we need to localize them.
2685 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2687 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2688 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2689 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2692 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2695 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2696 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2697 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2700 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2701 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2702 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2704 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2706 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2707 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2708 bottom of your class file.
2711 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2714 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2716 - improved error message when loading modules so
2717 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2718 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2719 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2722 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2723 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2724 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2726 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2727 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2729 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2730 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2731 turn them on for you.
2732 - added tests for this
2733 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2734 in Moose::Meta::Class
2737 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2738 automatically turned on for you.
2739 - added tests for this
2742 - now handles an edge case for override errors

2761 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2762 - This release works in combination with
2763 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2764 release because it uses the a new
2765 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2766 complete Role implementation. It has
2767 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2768 the the previous CPAN version. This
2769 release also lacks good updated docs,
2770 the official release will have updated docs.
2773 - refactored the keyword exports
2774 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2775 accepts more than one Role at a time
2776 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2777 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2780 - refactored the keyword exports
2781 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2782 accepts more than one Role at a time
2784 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2785 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2786 string enumerations which can be used as
2788 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2791 - more careful checking of params to new()
2794 - much work done on the role composition
2795 - many new tests for conflict detection
2796 and composition edge cases
2797 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2798 looking at the tests
2800 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2801 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2802 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2804 * Moose::Meta::Class
2805 - some small changes to support the new
2807 - some small additions to support Roles
2809 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2810 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2812 - some small changes to support the new
2814 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2815 with the 'handles' option
2816 - added several tests for this
2817 - no docs for this yet

2821 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2822 thanks to chansen for this commit
2823 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2824 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2825 on a per-attribute basis
2826 - added tests for this
2827 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2828 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2829 experimental feature and probably not finished
