1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
9 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
12 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
16 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
18 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
22 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
24 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
28 * Include changes from 2.0010.
30 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
34 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
35 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
39 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
40 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
41 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
46 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
48 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
52 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
53 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
55 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
59 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
61 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
65 * Various packaging issues.
67 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
71 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
72 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
77 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
78 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
79 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
83 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
84 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
85 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
87 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
91 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
92 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
94 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
98 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
99 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
101 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
104 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
105 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
109 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
110 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
112 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
116 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
117 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
121 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
123 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
127 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
129 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
133 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
134 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
136 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
140 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
142 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
146 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
148 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
149 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
151 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
155 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
156 skips every other role. (rjbs)
158 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
159 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
160 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
161 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
162 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
164 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
168 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
169 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
170 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
173 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
178 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
180 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
181 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
183 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
187 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
188 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
189 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
193 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
194 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
196 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
197 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
199 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
200 environments. (doy, mateu)
202 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
206 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
207 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
208 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
209 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
213 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
214 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
216 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
220 * Update conflicts list.
223 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
227 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
228 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
229 details. (Dave Rolsky)
231 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
232 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
233 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
234 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
235 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
239 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
240 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
241 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
242 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
243 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
246 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
250 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
251 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
253 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
256 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
260 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
261 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
262 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
263 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
265 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
266 immutable classes). (mo)
268 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
269 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
270 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
272 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
276 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
278 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
280 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
284 * Fix some indexing issues.
286 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
288 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
292 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
293 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
294 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
295 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
296 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
298 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
299 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
304 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
305 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
306 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
307 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
309 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
310 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
311 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
315 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
316 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
319 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
323 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
324 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
328 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
332 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
333 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
334 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
335 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
338 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
342 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
345 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
349 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
350 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
351 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
354 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
358 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
359 policy. (Chris Prather)
361 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
362 on this new support policy. (doy)
366 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
367 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
368 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
370 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
371 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
373 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
377 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
378 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
379 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
380 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
383 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
387 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
388 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
391 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
395 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
396 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
398 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
399 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
403 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
404 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
405 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
406 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
407 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
408 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
410 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
411 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
413 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
414 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
415 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
416 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
418 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
419 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
421 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
426 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
427 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
429 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
433 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
434 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
435 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
437 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
441 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
442 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
443 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
445 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
446 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
449 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
450 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
453 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
454 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
455 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
457 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
458 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
463 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
464 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
465 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
466 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
468 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
469 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
471 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
472 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
474 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
475 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
476 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
477 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
479 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
480 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
481 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
484 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
485 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
486 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
487 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
489 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
490 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
493 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
494 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
495 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
497 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
501 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
502 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
503 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
505 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
506 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
507 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
510 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
511 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
512 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
514 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
515 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
516 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
518 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
519 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
523 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
524 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
525 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
527 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
528 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
529 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
530 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
532 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
536 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
537 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
538 value is a reference.
540 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
541 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
543 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
547 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
548 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
549 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
551 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
555 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
556 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
560 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
561 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
562 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
564 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
565 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
566 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
568 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
572 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
574 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
578 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
580 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
581 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
586 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
587 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
589 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
590 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
591 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
592 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
593 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
595 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
596 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
597 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
598 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
600 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
604 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
605 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
610 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
612 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
614 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
619 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
621 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
625 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
626 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
627 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
629 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
630 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
631 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
632 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
634 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
635 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
636 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
637 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
638 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
641 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
646 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
647 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
648 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
649 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
650 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
653 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
657 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
660 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
661 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
665 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
666 function (not just method). (doy)
670 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
671 and aren't easily installable/testable.
673 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
677 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
678 to be overridden more easily (doy).
680 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
684 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
685 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
687 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
691 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
692 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
693 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
695 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
699 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
700 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
701 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
703 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
704 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
708 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
709 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
711 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
712 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
716 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
717 is applied to a class (t0m).
719 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
720 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
722 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
725 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
726 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
728 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
729 be much more robust. (doy)
731 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
733 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
736 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
740 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
741 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
743 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
747 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
748 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
750 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
753 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
754 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
755 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
757 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
758 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
759 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
762 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
764 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
768 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
769 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
773 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
775 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
779 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
780 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
784 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
785 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
789 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
791 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
795 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
796 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
800 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
801 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
805 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
806 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
808 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
812 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
813 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
814 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
817 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
821 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
822 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
823 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
824 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
826 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
830 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
831 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
832 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
836 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
839 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
843 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
844 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
845 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
849 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
850 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
852 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
853 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
854 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
855 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
857 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
861 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
865 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
866 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
868 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
869 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
870 - Moose::Util::does_role
871 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
872 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
873 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
875 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
879 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
880 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
881 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
884 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
888 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
889 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
892 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
896 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
897 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
900 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
904 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
906 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
907 class. (Dave Rolsky).
909 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
910 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
911 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
913 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
914 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
915 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
918 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
919 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
921 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
922 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
923 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
925 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
927 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
928 substr et al, again. (sorear)
930 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
932 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
935 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
936 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
938 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
939 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
941 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
942 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
943 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
944 dependencies installed.
946 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
947 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
950 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
952 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
956 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
958 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
959 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
960 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
962 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
963 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
964 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
966 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
967 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
970 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
971 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
972 others. (nothingmuch)
974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
975 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
976 remove_accessors. (doy)
978 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
979 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
980 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
982 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
983 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
985 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
986 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
987 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
988 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
991 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
992 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
995 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
997 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
999 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1000 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1003 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1004 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1005 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1006 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1007 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1009 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1010 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1012 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1013 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1014 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1015 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1018 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1019 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1020 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1021 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1022 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1024 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1025 which were not receiving the value of
1026 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1027 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1028 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1029 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1033 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1034 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1035 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1036 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1037 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1040 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1041 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1042 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1043 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1045 * Moose::Meta::Class
1046 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1047 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1048 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1051 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1052 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1053 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1056 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1057 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1060 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1061 class if you pass it options for
1062 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1063 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1064 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1065 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1066 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1067 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1068 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1069 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1070 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1072 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1073 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1074 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1075 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1076 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1079 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1080 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1081 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1082 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1084 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1085 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1086 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1087 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1088 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1089 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1092 * Moose::Error::Croak
1093 * Moose::Error::Confess
1094 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1095 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1098 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1101 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1102 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1103 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1105 * Moose::Meta::Class
1106 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1109 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1110 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1111 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1113 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1114 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1115 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1116 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1117 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1119 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1120 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1123 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1125 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1126 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1129 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1130 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1132 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1133 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1134 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1135 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1137 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1138 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1139 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1140 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1141 using it for new code!
1143 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1144 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1145 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1146 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1148 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1149 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1150 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1151 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1152 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1153 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1154 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1155 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1158 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1161 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1162 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1166 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1168 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1169 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1170 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1172 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1173 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1174 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1175 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1177 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1178 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1179 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1182 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1183 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1186 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1188 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1189 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1190 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1191 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1193 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1195 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1198 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1199 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1200 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1202 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1203 associated_methods. (hdp)
1204 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1205 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1206 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1207 misspelled) arguments
1209 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1210 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1211 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1212 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1214 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1215 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1216 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1218 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1221 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1222 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1223 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1226 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1227 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1229 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1230 * Moose::Meta::Class
1231 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1232 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1234 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1235 * Moose::Manual::Types
1236 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1237 string parsing rathole (mst)
1239 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1240 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1241 using plain objects instead
1243 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1244 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1245 that's what we need.
1247 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1248 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1249 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1250 three times today (perigrin)
1251 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1252 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1255 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1256 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1257 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1260 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1261 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1262 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1263 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1264 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1265 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1268 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1269 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1270 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1271 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1274 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1276 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1279 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1281 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1284 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1285 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1286 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1290 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1291 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1294 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1295 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1297 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1298 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1299 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1301 * Moose::Unsweetened
1302 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1304 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1305 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1308 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1312 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1313 methods during global destruction (doy)
1315 * Moose::Meta::Class
1316 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1317 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1318 consumption (Sartak)
1320 * Moose::Meta::Class
1321 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1322 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1325 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1326 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1329 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1330 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1332 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1334 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1338 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1339 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1340 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1343 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1344 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1345 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1348 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1350 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1351 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1352 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1355 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1356 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1357 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1358 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1360 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1361 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1362 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1365 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1368 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1369 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1370 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1374 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1375 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1377 * Moose::Meta::Class
1378 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1380 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1382 * Moose::Meta::Class
1383 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1384 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1387 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1388 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1391 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1392 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1395 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1398 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1400 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1401 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1404 * Moose::Meta::Class
1405 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1407 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1408 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1411 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1412 * More deprecations and renamings
1413 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1414 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1415 when an object is constructed)
1418 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1419 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1420 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1422 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1423 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1424 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1425 feature, and it works again.
1428 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1430 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1432 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1433 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1434 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1436 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1437 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1438 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1439 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1440 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1442 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1443 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1444 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1445 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1446 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1449 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1450 metaclass object. (hdp)
1452 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1453 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1454 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1455 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1456 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1457 point out this fact. (hdp)
1459 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1460 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1462 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1463 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1465 * Moose::Meta::Class
1466 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1467 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1468 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1469 called during instance construction were passed the
1470 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1471 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1473 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1474 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1477 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1478 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1479 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1482 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1483 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1484 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1485 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1486 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1488 - Moose::Meta::Class
1489 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1491 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1492 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1493 when an object is constructed)
1494 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1496 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1497 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1498 when an object is constructed)
1499 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1500 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1501 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1504 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1506 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1507 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1509 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1511 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1512 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1513 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1515 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1516 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1517 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1519 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1521 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1522 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1524 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1525 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1528 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1529 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1532 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1533 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1534 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1536 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1537 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1541 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1542 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1543 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1545 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1546 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1549 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1550 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1551 with recommended workarounds.
1553 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1554 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1556 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1557 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1558 (yes, spelled like that).
1560 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1561 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1563 * Moose::Meta::Class
1564 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1565 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1567 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1569 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1570 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1571 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1572 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1573 instead. Reported by doy.
1575 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1577 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1578 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1580 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1581 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1582 message) is now deprecated.
1583 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1584 often got it wrong. For example:
1586 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1588 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1592 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1593 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1594 bite you in weird cases.
1596 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1597 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1598 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1599 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1601 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1602 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1606 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1609 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1610 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1613 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1614 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1617 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1620 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1621 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1622 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1623 - added tests for this (stevan)
1625 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1626 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1627 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1628 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1632 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1633 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1634 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1635 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1637 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1638 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1639 - added tests for this (rafl)
1641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1642 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1643 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1644 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1648 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1649 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1652 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1653 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1654 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1656 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1658 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1659 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1661 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1662 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1663 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1664 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1665 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1667 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1668 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1669 error message did not specify the attribute name
1672 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1674 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1676 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1677 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1678 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1681 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1684 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1686 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1687 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1688 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1689 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1691 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1693 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1694 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1695 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1696 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1698 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1699 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1700 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1702 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1703 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1704 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1705 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1706 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1709 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1710 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1711 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1712 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1714 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1715 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1716 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1717 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1718 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1719 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1721 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1722 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1723 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1724 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1725 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1726 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1728 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1729 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1731 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1732 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1733 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1734 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1736 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1737 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1740 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1744 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1745 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1747 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1748 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1749 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1750 guts. (nothingmuch).
1752 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1753 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1754 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1756 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1757 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1758 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1759 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1761 * Moose::Meta::Class
1762 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1765 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1766 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1768 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1769 * Moose::Unsweetened
1770 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1773 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1774 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1775 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1776 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1777 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1778 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1780 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1781 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1782 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1783 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1784 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1785 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1786 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1787 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1788 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1789 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1791 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1793 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1794 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1796 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1797 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1798 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1799 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1801 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1802 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1803 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1804 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1805 same methods for a single role did not work
1806 right (worked just fine with multiple
1808 - added test for this (stevan)
1810 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1811 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1812 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1815 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1816 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1817 - added test for this (t0m)
1820 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1821 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1822 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1824 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1825 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1826 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1827 - added test for this (t0m)
1829 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1830 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1831 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1832 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1833 - added test for this (perigrin)
1836 - create method for constructing a role
1837 dynamically (Sartak)
1838 - added test for this (Sartak)
1839 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1840 - added test for this (Sartak)
1843 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1845 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1846 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1847 methods is useful (Sartak)
1849 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1850 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1851 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1854 * Moose::Meta::Class
1855 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1856 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1857 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1858 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1859 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1860 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1863 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1864 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1866 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1867 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1868 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1869 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1870 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1872 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1874 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1875 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1876 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1879 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1880 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1881 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1882 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1883 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1884 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1887 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1888 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1889 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1890 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1891 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1892 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1893 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1894 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1895 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1896 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1897 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1899 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1900 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1903 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1904 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1905 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1906 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1907 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1909 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1911 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1912 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1913 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1915 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1916 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1918 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1919 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1920 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1921 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1924 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1925 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1927 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1929 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1930 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1932 * Moose::Meta::Class
1933 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1934 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1935 a required attribute
1937 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1938 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1939 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1940 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1942 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1943 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1945 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1946 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1947 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1948 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1949 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1950 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1951 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1952 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1954 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1955 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1956 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1958 * Roles and role application
1959 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1960 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1961 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1962 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1963 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1965 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1966 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1969 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1970 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1971 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1972 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1973 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1976 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1977 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1978 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1979 changes in the Moose internals.
1981 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1982 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1983 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1986 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1987 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1988 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1989 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1991 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1992 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1993 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1994 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1996 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1997 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1998 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1999 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2000 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2001 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2002 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2003 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2004 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2005 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2006 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2007 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2008 constraint implementations.
2010 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2014 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2015 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2016 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2017 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2018 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2019 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2020 - added tests for this (rafl)
2022 * Moose::Meta::Class
2023 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2024 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2025 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2026 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2027 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2028 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2029 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2030 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2033 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2034 - added tests for this (thepler)
2036 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2037 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2038 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2039 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2042 * Moose::Meta::Class
2043 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2044 * Moose::Meta::Method
2047 * Moose::Error::Default
2048 * Moose::Error::Croak
2049 * Moose::Error::Confess
2050 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2051 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2052 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2053 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2054 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2055 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2057 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2059 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2060 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2062 * Moose::Unsweetened
2063 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2064 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2065 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2067 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2068 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2069 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2070 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2071 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2074 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2075 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)

2078 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2079 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2080 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2085 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2086 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2088 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2091 - Various bug fixes.

2126 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2127 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2128 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2129 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2130 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2131 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2133 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2134 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

2146 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2148 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2160 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2162 - added test for this (t0m)
2165 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2166 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2167 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2170 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2171 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2173 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2176 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2178 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2254 ... this is not my day today ...
2256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2257 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2258 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2259 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2260 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2263 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2264 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2265 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2267 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2270 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2272 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2273 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2305 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2306 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2307 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2308 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2309 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2310 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2311 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2312 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2313 - added tests for this
2315 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2316 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2317 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2426 XS based functionality is now optional
2427 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2428 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2429 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2788 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
2790 * Moose::Meta::Class
2791 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2792 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2793 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2794 method in the first place ;)
2796 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2797 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2798 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~

2805 cleanup of the role system
2806 - 100% backwards compat.
2807 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2808 classes based on type of applicants
2809 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2810 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer

2812 - new Composite role metaclass
2813 - runtime application of roles to instances
2814 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2815 classes when applicable

2848 - added this module to support the refactor
2849 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2851 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

2853 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2857 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2859 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2860 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2861 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2899 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2900 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2901 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2904 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2905 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2906 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2907 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2911 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2912 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2913 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2921 - added docs for this
2923 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2924 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2942 with work correctly.
2943 - added tests for this
2946 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2947 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2950 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

2986 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2989 - fixed how required methods are handled
2990 when they encounter overriden or modified
2991 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2992 - added tests for this
2994 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2995 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2996 the | always creates a union and so is
2997 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2998 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3000 - added more tests for this
3002 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3005 * Parameterized Types
3006 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3007 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3008 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3009 They can also be nested:
3010 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3011 And work with the type unions as well:
3012 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3014 * Better Framework Extendability
3015 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3016 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3017 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3018 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3021 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3022 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3023 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3024 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3027 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3029 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3030 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3090 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3092 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3182 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3183 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3184 prototypes for functions
3185 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3186 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3196 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3199 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3200 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3201 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3202 - added tests for this
3204 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3206 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3228 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3230 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3231 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3232 so this release is just to fix that.
3235 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3236 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3237 (thanks to konobi for this)

3248 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3249 functions to facilitate introspection.
3251 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3252 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3253 to build the list of delegated methods
3254 correctly (and not override important
3255 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3257 - added tests and docs for this
3258 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3259 so that you can actually document your
3260 attributes and inspect them through the
3262 - added tests and docs for this
3264 * Moose::Meta::Class
3265 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3266 it will first look in for the class in the
3267 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3268 then default to just loading $name.
3269 - added tests and docs for this
3271 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3272 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3273 - added test for this
3276 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3277 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3278 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3279 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3281 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3282 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3285 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3287 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3288 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3289 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3292 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3293 !! for this developer release to work !!
3295 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3296 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3297 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3298 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3299 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3300 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3301 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3302 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3303 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3304 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3305 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3307 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3308 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3309 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3310 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3313 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3314 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3315 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3316 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3317 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3319 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3321 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3322 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3325 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3326 called unless they actually need to be.
3327 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3328 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3329 DEMOLISH method present.
3331 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3332 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3333 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3334 type constraint, which allows for a
3335 hand optimized version of the type
3336 constraint to be used when possible.
3337 - Any internally created type constraints
3338 now provide an optimized version as well.
3340 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3342 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3343 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3344 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3346 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3347 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3348 your class namespace of these exported
3351 * Moose::Meta::Class
3352 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3353 comes up during global destruction
3355 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3359 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3362 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3363 - changed how we do type checks so that
3364 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3367 - moved accessor generation methods to
3368 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3369 conform to the API changes from
3372 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3373 - changed how constraints are compiled
3374 so that we do less recursion and more
3375 iteration. This makes the type check
3377 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3380 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3381 - created this from methods formerly found in
3382 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3384 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3385 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3387 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3388 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3390 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3391 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3393 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3395 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3396 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3397 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3398 - added tests for this
3399 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3400 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3401 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3402 - removed tests for this
3404 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3406 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3407 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3408 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3411 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3412 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3413 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3415 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3416 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3417 comments for more info.
3420 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3421 asked questions and common problems
3423 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3424 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3425 - added tests for this
3427 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3428 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3429 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3430 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3432 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3433 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3436 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3437 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3438 is much appreciated :)
3439 - added tests for this
3441 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3442 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3443 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3446 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3447 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3449 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3451 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3452 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3456 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3457 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3458 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3460 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3462 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3465 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3466 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3467 keywords because we need to localize them.
3468 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3470 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3471 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3472 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3475 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3478 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3479 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3480 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3483 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3484 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3485 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3487 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3489 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3490 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3491 bottom of your class file.
3494 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3497 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3499 - improved error message when loading modules so
3500 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3501 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3502 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3505 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3506 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3507 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3510 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3512 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3513 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3514 turn them on for you.
3515 - added tests for this
3516 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3517 in Moose::Meta::Class
3520 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3521 automatically turned on for you.
3522 - added tests for this
3525 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3526 - added tests for this
3527 - added some more edge case tests

3543 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3544 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3545 - This release works in combination with
3546 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3547 release because it uses the a new
3548 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3549 complete Role implementation. It has
3550 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3551 the the previous CPAN version. This
3552 release also lacks good updated docs,
3553 the official release will have updated docs.
3556 - refactored the keyword exports
3557 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3558 accepts more than one Role at a time
3559 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3560 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3563 - refactored the keyword exports
3564 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3565 accepts more than one Role at a time
3567 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3568 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3569 string enumerations which can be used as
3571 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3574 - more careful checking of params to new()
3577 - much work done on the role composition
3578 - many new tests for conflict detection
3579 and composition edge cases
3580 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3581 looking at the tests
3583 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3584 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3585 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3587 * Moose::Meta::Class
3588 - some small changes to support the new
3590 - some small additions to support Roles
3592 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3593 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3595 - some small changes to support the new
3597 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3598 with the 'handles' option
3599 - added several tests for this
3600 - no docs for this yet
3602 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3604 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3605 thanks to chansen for this commit
3606 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3607 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3608 on a per-attribute basis
3609 - added tests for this
3610 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3611 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3612 experimental feature and probably not finished
