1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
6 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers
7 to the existing delegation API. (hdp)
9 * Moose::AttributeHelpers
10 - Moved in from MooseX with API tweaks. See Moose::Manual::Delta for
11 details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels)
13 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
14 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
16 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
17 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
18 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
19 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
20 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
22 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
23 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
26 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
30 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
31 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
34 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
35 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
36 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
37 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
38 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
39 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
40 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
43 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
46 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
47 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
50 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
51 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
53 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
54 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
55 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
58 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
59 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
60 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
63 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
64 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
66 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
67 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
68 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
71 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
72 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
73 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
74 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
75 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
76 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
78 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
80 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
83 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
84 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
85 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
87 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
88 associated_methods. (hdp)
89 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
90 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
91 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
94 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
95 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
96 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
97 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
99 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
100 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
101 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
103 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
107 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
108 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
111 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
112 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
114 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
116 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
117 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
119 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
120 * Moose::Manual::Types
121 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
122 string parsing rathole (mst)
124 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
125 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
126 using plain objects instead
128 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
129 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
132 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
134 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
135 three times today (perigrin)
136 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
137 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
139 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
140 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
141 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
142 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
145 - A role's required methods are now represented by
146 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
147 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
148 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
149 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
150 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
153 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
154 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
155 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
156 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
159 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
161 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
164 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
166 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
169 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
170 during global destruction. This method has been made more
171 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
175 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
176 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
179 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
180 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
182 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
183 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
184 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
187 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
189 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
190 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
193 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
197 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
198 methods during global destruction (doy)
201 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
202 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
206 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
207 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
210 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
211 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
214 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
215 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
217 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
219 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
223 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
224 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
225 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
228 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
229 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
230 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
233 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
235 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
236 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
237 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
240 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
241 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
242 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
243 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
245 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
246 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
247 of the Moose core (Sartak)
250 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
253 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
254 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
255 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
259 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
260 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
263 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
265 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
268 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
269 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
272 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
273 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
276 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
277 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
280 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
283 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
285 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
286 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
290 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
292 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
293 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
296 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
297 * More deprecations and renamings
298 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
299 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
300 when an object is constructed)
303 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
304 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
305 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
308 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
309 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
310 feature, and it works again.
313 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
315 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
317 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
318 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
319 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
321 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
322 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
323 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
324 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
325 message. Test provided by perigrin.
327 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
328 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
329 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
330 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
331 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
334 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
335 metaclass object. (hdp)
337 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
338 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
339 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
340 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
341 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
342 point out this fact. (hdp)
344 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
345 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
347 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
348 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
352 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
353 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
354 called during instance construction were passed the
355 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
356 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
358 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
359 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
362 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
363 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
364 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
367 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
368 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
369 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
370 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
371 them, but they are not for "public" use.
374 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
376 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
377 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
378 when an object is constructed)
379 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
381 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
382 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
383 when an object is constructed)
384 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
385 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
386 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
389 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
391 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
392 * No changes from 0.72_01.
394 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
396 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
397 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
398 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
400 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
401 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
402 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
404 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
406 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
407 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
409 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
410 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
413 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
414 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
417 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
418 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
419 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
421 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
422 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
426 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
427 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
428 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
430 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
431 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
434 * Moose::Manual::Delta
435 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
436 with recommended workarounds.
438 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
439 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
441 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
442 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
443 (yes, spelled like that).
445 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
446 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
449 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
450 changes in latest Class::MOP.
452 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
454 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
455 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
456 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
457 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
458 instead. Reported by doy.
460 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
462 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
463 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
465 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
466 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
467 message) is now deprecated.
468 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
469 often got it wrong. For example:
471 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
473 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
477 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
478 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
479 bite you in weird cases.
481 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
482 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
483 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
486 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
487 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
491 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
494 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
495 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
498 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
499 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
501 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
502 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
505 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
506 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
507 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
508 - added tests for this (stevan)
510 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
511 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
512 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
513 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
517 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
518 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
519 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
520 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
522 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
523 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
524 - added tests for this (rafl)
526 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
527 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
528 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
529 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
533 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
534 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
537 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
538 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
539 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
541 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
543 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
544 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
547 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
548 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
549 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
550 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
552 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
553 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
554 error message did not specify the attribute name
557 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
559 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
561 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
562 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
563 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
565 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
566 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
569 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
571 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
572 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
573 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
574 of fixes and formatting improvements.
576 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
578 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
579 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
580 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
581 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
583 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
584 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
585 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
587 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
588 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
589 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
590 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
591 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
593 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
594 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
595 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
596 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
597 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
600 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
601 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
602 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
603 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
604 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
606 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
607 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
608 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
609 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
610 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
611 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
613 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
614 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
616 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
617 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
618 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
619 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
621 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
622 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
625 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
629 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
630 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
632 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
633 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
634 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
637 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
638 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
639 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
642 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
643 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
644 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
647 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
650 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
651 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
653 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
655 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
658 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
659 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
660 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
661 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
662 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
663 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
665 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
666 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
667 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
668 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
669 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
670 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
671 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
672 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
673 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
674 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
676 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
678 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
679 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
681 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
682 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
683 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
684 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
686 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
687 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
688 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
689 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
690 same methods for a single role did not work
691 right (worked just fine with multiple
693 - added test for this (stevan)
695 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
696 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
697 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
700 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
701 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
702 - added test for this (t0m)
705 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
706 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
707 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
710 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
711 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
712 - added test for this (t0m)
714 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
715 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
716 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
717 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
718 - added test for this (perigrin)
721 - create method for constructing a role
723 - added test for this (Sartak)
724 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
725 - added test for this (Sartak)
728 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
730 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
731 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
732 methods is useful (Sartak)
734 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
735 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
736 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
740 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
741 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
742 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
743 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
744 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
745 - added tests for this (jdv79)
748 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
749 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
751 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
752 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
753 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
754 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
755 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
757 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
759 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
760 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
761 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
764 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
765 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
766 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
767 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
768 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
769 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
772 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
773 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
774 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
775 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
776 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
777 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
778 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
779 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
780 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
781 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
782 future. (jnapiorkowski)
784 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
785 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
788 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
789 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
790 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
791 type. (jnapiorkowski)
792 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
794 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
796 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
797 predicate, and link to more details sections in
798 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
800 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
801 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
803 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
804 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
805 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
806 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
809 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
810 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
812 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
814 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
815 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
818 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
819 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
822 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
823 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
824 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
825 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
827 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
828 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
830 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
831 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
832 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
833 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
834 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
835 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
836 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
837 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
839 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
840 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
841 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
843 * Roles and role application
844 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
845 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
846 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
847 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
848 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
850 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
851 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
854 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
855 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
856 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
857 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
858 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
861 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
862 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
863 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
864 changes in the Moose internals.
866 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
867 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
868 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
871 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
872 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
873 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
874 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
876 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
877 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
878 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
879 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
881 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
882 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
883 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
884 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
885 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
886 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
887 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
888 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
889 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
890 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
891 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
892 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
893 constraint implementations.
895 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
899 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
900 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
901 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
902 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
903 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
904 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
905 - added tests for this (rafl)
908 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
909 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
910 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
911 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
912 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
913 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
914 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
915 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
918 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
919 - added tests for this (thepler)
921 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
922 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
923 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
924 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
928 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
929 * Moose::Meta::Method
932 * Moose::Error::Default
933 * Moose::Error::Croak
934 * Moose::Error::Confess
935 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
936 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
937 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
938 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
939 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
940 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
942 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
944 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
945 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
948 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
949 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
950 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
953 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
954 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
955 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
956 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
959 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
960 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
962 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
963 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
964 several major changes in this release of Moose.
965 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
968 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
970 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
971 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
973 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
978 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
979 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
981 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
983 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
984 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
985 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
986 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
987 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
988 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
990 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
991 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
992 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
994 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
995 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
996 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
999 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1000 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1001 dependency to 0.64_07.
1003 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1004 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1005 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1007 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1008 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1011 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1012 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1013 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1014 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1015 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1016 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1018 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1019 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1021 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1023 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1024 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1028 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1029 method when that method was provided by another role being
1030 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1031 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1033 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1035 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1036 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1038 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1039 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1040 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1041 - added test for this (t0m)
1043 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1044 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1045 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1047 - added test for this (t0m)
1050 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1051 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1052 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1055 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1056 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1058 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1060 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1061 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1063 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1064 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1065 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1067 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1068 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1071 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1072 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1073 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1074 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1078 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1079 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1080 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1083 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1084 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1085 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1086 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1089 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1093 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1094 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1095 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1097 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1098 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1099 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1100 created so that the process can be more easily
1101 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1103 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1104 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1105 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1106 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1109 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1112 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1113 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1115 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1116 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1117 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1119 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1120 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1121 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1123 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1124 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1126 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1127 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1130 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1131 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1135 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1136 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1138 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1139 ... this is not my day today ...
1141 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1142 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1143 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1144 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1145 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1148 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1149 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1150 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1151 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1152 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1155 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1157 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1158 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1159 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1160 this is not ever something you want to do
1161 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1162 - added tests for this (stevan)
1165 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1167 - added test for this
1169 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1170 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1171 - added tests for this (wreis)
1173 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1174 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1175 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1176 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1178 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1179 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1180 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1183 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1185 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1187 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1190 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1191 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1192 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1193 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1194 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1195 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1196 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1197 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1198 - added tests for this
1200 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1201 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1202 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1203 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1205 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1207 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1208 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1209 - added tests for this (sartak)
1210 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1211 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1214 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1216 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1217 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1219 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1220 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1221 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1222 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1224 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1226 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1227 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1230 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1231 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1232 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1235 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1236 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1238 - added docs for this (TODO).
1239 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1240 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1241 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1242 - fix builder and default both being used
1247 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1249 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1250 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1251 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1255 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1259 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1260 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1261 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1264 - move the ClassName type check code to
1265 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1267 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1268 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1270 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1271 (early morning release engineering)--
1273 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1274 which was causing the indexer to choke
1276 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1277 (late night release engineering)--
1279 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1280 changes in this release
1282 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1283 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1284 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1286 * Moose::Meta::Class
1287 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1288 since it is called so often by &meta
1290 * Moose::Meta::Class
1292 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1293 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1296 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1297 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1298 method for immutablization to check if the
1299 destructor object even needs to be created
1302 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1303 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1304 - added more descriptive error message to help
1305 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1306 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1308 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1310 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1311 XS based functionality is now optional
1312 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1313 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1314 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1316 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1317 to take care of this, mostly we added
1318 support for the package_name and name
1319 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1320 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1321 support regexp matching of names
1322 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1323 - tests added for this
1324 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1325 is currently not supported in roles,
1326 but, ... patches welcome
1327 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1328 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1329 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1332 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1333 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1334 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1335 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1336 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1337 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1338 - added test for this
1340 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1341 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1342 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1345 * Moose::Meta::Class
1346 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1350 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1352 - added tests for this
1353 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1354 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1356 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1357 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1358 themselves parameterizable types
1360 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1361 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1362 called by the inlined immutable
1364 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1366 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1367 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1368 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1369 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1371 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1372 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1376 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1377 causing occasional cpantester failures
1378 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1379 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1381 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1383 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1384 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1387 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1388 ->body when looping through the
1389 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1391 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1392 eating the $@ values, and so not
1393 working correctly, it still kind of
1394 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1395 - added tests for this
1397 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1398 - added new recipe for immutable
1399 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1401 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1402 - added new recipe for builder and
1403 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1535 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1537 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1876 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1877 - added tests for this

1887 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1890 * Parameterized Types
1891 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1892 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1893 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1894 They can also be nested:
1895 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1896 And work with the type unions as well:
1897 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1899 * Better Framework Extendability
1900 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1901 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1902 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1903 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1906 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1907 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1908 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1909 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2079 merlyn for finding this bug
2080 - tests added for this
2081 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2084 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2085 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2086 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2087 - added tests for this
2089 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2091 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2107 * Moose::Meta::Class
2108 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2109 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2110 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2112 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2113 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2115 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2116 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2117 so this release is just to fix that.
2120 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2121 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2122 (thanks to konobi for this)
2123 - added tests and docs
2125 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2134 functions to facilitate introspection.
2136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2137 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2138 to build the list of delegated methods
2139 correctly (and not override important
2140 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2142 - added tests and docs for this
2143 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2144 so that you can actually document your
2145 attributes and inspect them through the
2147 - added tests and docs for this
2149 * Moose::Meta::Class
2150 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2151 it will first look in for the class in the
2152 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2153 then default to just loading $name.
2154 - added tests and docs for this
2156 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2157 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2158 - added test for this
2161 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2162 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2163 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2164 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2166 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2167 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2170 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2172 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2173 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2174 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2177 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2178 !! for this developer release to work !!
2180 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2181 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2182 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2183 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2184 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2185 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2186 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2187 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2188 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2189 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2190 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2192 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2193 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2194 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2195 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2198 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2199 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2200 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2201 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2202 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2204 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2206 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2207 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2210 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2211 called unless they actually need to be.
2212 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2213 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2214 DEMOLISH method present.
2216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2217 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2218 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2219 type constraint, which allows for a
2220 hand optimized version of the type
2221 constraint to be used when possible.
2222 - Any internally created type constraints
2223 now provide an optimized version as well.
2225 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2227 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2228 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2229 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2231 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2232 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2233 your class namespace of these exported
2236 * Moose::Meta::Class
2237 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2238 comes up during global destruction
2240 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2244 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2247 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2248 - changed how we do type checks so that
2249 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2252 - moved accessor generation methods to
2253 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2254 conform to the API changes from
2257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2258 - changed how constraints are compiled
2259 so that we do less recursion and more
2260 iteration. This makes the type check
2262 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2266 - created this from methods formerly found in
2267 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2269 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2270 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2273 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2275 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2276 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2278 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2280 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2281 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2282 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2283 - added tests for this
2284 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2285 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2286 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2287 - removed tests for this
2289 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2291 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2292 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2293 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2296 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2297 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2298 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2300 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2301 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2302 comments for more info.
2305 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2306 asked questions and common problems
2308 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2309 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2310 - added tests for this
2312 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2313 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2314 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2315 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2317 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2318 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2321 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2322 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2323 is much appreciated :)
2324 - added tests for this
2326 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2327 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2328 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2331 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2332 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2334 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2336 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2337 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2341 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2342 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2343 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2345 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2347 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2350 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2351 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2352 keywords because we need to localize them.
2353 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2355 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2356 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2357 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2360 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2363 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2364 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2365 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2368 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2369 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2370 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2372 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2374 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2375 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2376 bottom of your class file.
2379 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2382 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2384 - improved error message when loading modules so
2385 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2386 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2387 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2390 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2391 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2392 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2394 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2395 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2397 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2398 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2399 turn them on for you.
2400 - added tests for this

2429 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2430 - This release works in combination with
2431 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2432 release because it uses the a new
2433 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2434 complete Role implementation. It has
2435 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2436 the the previous CPAN version. This
2437 release also lacks good updated docs,
2438 the official release will have updated docs.
2441 - refactored the keyword exports
2442 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2443 accepts more than one Role at a time

2454 string enumerations which can be used as
2456 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2459 - more careful checking of params to new()
2462 - much work done on the role composition
2463 - many new tests for conflict detection
2464 and composition edge cases
2465 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2466 looking at the tests
2468 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2469 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2470 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2480 - some small changes to support the new
2482 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2483 with the 'handles' option

2489 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2490 thanks to chansen for this commit
2491 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2492 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2493 on a per-attribute basis
2494 - added tests for this
2495 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2496 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
