1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
6 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
8 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
9 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
10 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
11 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
12 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
14 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
15 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
18 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
22 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
23 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
25 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
26 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
27 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if
28 the attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
30 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
31 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
32 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
33 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't
34 start using it for new code!
37 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
38 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
39 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
40 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
41 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
42 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
43 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
46 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
49 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
50 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
53 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
54 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
56 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
57 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
58 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
61 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
62 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
63 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
66 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
67 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
69 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
70 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
71 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
74 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
75 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
76 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
77 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
78 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
79 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
81 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
83 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
86 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
87 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
88 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
90 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
91 associated_methods. (hdp)
92 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
93 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
94 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
97 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
98 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
99 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
100 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
102 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
103 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
104 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
106 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
110 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
111 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
114 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
115 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
117 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
119 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
120 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
122 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
123 * Moose::Manual::Types
124 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
125 string parsing rathole (mst)
127 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
128 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
129 using plain objects instead
131 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
132 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
135 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
137 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
138 three times today (perigrin)
139 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
140 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
142 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
143 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
144 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
145 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
148 - A role's required methods are now represented by
149 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
150 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
151 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
152 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
153 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
156 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
157 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
158 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
159 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
162 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
164 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
167 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
169 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
172 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
173 during global destruction. This method has been made more
174 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
178 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
179 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
182 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
183 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
185 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
186 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
187 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
190 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
192 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
193 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
196 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
200 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
201 methods during global destruction (doy)
204 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
205 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
209 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
210 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
213 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
214 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
217 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
218 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
220 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
222 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
226 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
227 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
228 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
231 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
232 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
233 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
236 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
238 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
239 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
240 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
243 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
244 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
245 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
246 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
248 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
249 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
250 of the Moose core (Sartak)
253 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
256 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
257 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
258 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
262 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
263 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
266 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
268 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
271 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
272 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
275 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
276 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
279 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
280 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
283 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
286 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
289 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
293 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
295 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
296 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
299 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
300 * More deprecations and renamings
301 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
302 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
303 when an object is constructed)
306 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
307 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
308 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
310 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
311 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
312 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
313 feature, and it works again.
316 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
318 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
320 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
321 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
322 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
324 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
325 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
326 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
327 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
328 message. Test provided by perigrin.
330 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
331 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
332 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
333 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
334 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
337 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
338 metaclass object. (hdp)
340 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
341 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
342 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
343 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
344 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
345 point out this fact. (hdp)
347 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
348 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
350 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
351 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
354 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
355 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
356 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
357 called during instance construction were passed the
358 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
359 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
361 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
362 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
365 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
366 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
367 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
370 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
371 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
372 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
373 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
374 them, but they are not for "public" use.
377 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
379 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
380 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
381 when an object is constructed)
382 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
384 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
385 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
386 when an object is constructed)
387 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
388 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
389 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
392 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
394 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
395 * No changes from 0.72_01.
397 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
399 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
400 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
401 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
403 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
404 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
405 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
407 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
409 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
410 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
412 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
413 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
416 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
417 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
420 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
421 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
422 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
424 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
425 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
429 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
430 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
431 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
433 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
434 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
437 * Moose::Manual::Delta
438 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
439 with recommended workarounds.
441 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
442 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
445 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
446 (yes, spelled like that).
448 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
449 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
452 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
453 changes in latest Class::MOP.
455 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
457 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
458 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
459 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
460 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
461 instead. Reported by doy.
463 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
465 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
466 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
468 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
469 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
470 message) is now deprecated.
471 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
472 often got it wrong. For example:
474 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
476 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
480 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
481 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
482 bite you in weird cases.
484 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
485 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
486 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
489 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
490 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
494 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
497 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
498 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
501 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
502 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
504 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
505 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
508 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
509 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
510 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
511 - added tests for this (stevan)
513 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
514 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
515 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
516 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
520 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
521 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
522 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
523 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
525 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
526 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
527 - added tests for this (rafl)
529 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
530 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
531 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
532 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
536 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
537 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
540 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
541 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
542 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
544 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
546 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
547 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
550 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
551 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
552 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
553 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
555 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
556 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
557 error message did not specify the attribute name
560 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
562 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
564 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
565 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
566 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
568 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
569 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
572 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
574 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
575 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
576 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
577 of fixes and formatting improvements.
579 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
581 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
582 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
583 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
584 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
586 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
587 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
588 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
590 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
591 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
592 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
593 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
594 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
596 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
597 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
598 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
599 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
600 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
603 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
604 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
605 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
606 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
607 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
609 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
610 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
611 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
612 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
613 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
614 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
616 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
617 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
619 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
620 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
621 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
622 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
625 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
628 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
632 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
633 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
635 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
636 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
637 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
640 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
641 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
642 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
644 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
645 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
646 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
647 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
650 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
653 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
654 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
656 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
658 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
661 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
662 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
663 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
664 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
665 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
666 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
669 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
670 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
671 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
672 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
673 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
674 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
675 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
676 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
677 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
679 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
681 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
682 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
684 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
685 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
686 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
687 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
689 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
690 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
691 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
692 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
693 same methods for a single role did not work
694 right (worked just fine with multiple
696 - added test for this (stevan)
698 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
699 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
700 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
703 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
704 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
705 - added test for this (t0m)
708 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
709 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
710 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
712 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
713 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
714 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
715 - added test for this (t0m)
717 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
718 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
719 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
720 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
721 - added test for this (perigrin)
724 - create method for constructing a role
726 - added test for this (Sartak)
727 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
728 - added test for this (Sartak)
731 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
733 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
734 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
735 methods is useful (Sartak)
737 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
738 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
739 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
743 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
744 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
745 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
746 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
747 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
748 - added tests for this (jdv79)
751 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
752 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
754 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
755 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
756 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
757 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
758 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
760 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
762 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
763 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
764 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
767 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
768 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
769 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
770 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
771 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
772 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
775 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
776 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
777 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
778 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
779 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
780 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
781 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
782 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
783 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
784 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
785 future. (jnapiorkowski)
787 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
788 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
791 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
792 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
793 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
794 type. (jnapiorkowski)
795 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
797 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
799 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
800 predicate, and link to more details sections in
801 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
803 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
804 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
806 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
807 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
808 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
809 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
812 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
813 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
815 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
817 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
818 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
821 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
822 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
825 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
826 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
827 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
828 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
830 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
831 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
834 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
835 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
836 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
837 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
838 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
839 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
840 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
842 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
843 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
844 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
846 * Roles and role application
847 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
848 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
849 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
850 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
851 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
853 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
854 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
857 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
858 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
859 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
860 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
861 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
864 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
865 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
866 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
867 changes in the Moose internals.
869 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
870 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
871 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
874 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
875 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
876 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
877 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
879 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
880 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
881 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
882 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
884 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
885 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
886 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
887 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
888 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
889 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
890 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
891 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
892 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
893 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
894 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
895 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
896 constraint implementations.
898 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
902 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
903 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
904 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
905 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
906 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
907 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
908 - added tests for this (rafl)
911 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
912 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
913 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
914 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
915 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
916 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
917 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
918 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
921 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
922 - added tests for this (thepler)
924 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
925 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
926 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
927 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
931 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
932 * Moose::Meta::Method
935 * Moose::Error::Default
936 * Moose::Error::Croak
937 * Moose::Error::Confess
938 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
939 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
940 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
941 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
942 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
943 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
945 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
947 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
948 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
951 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
952 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
953 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
955 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
956 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
957 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
958 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
959 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
962 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
963 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
965 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
966 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
967 several major changes in this release of Moose.
968 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
971 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
973 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
974 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
976 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
981 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
982 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
984 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
986 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
987 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
988 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
989 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
990 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
991 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
993 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
994 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
995 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
997 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
998 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
999 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1002 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1003 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1004 dependency to 0.64_07.
1006 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1007 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1008 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1010 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1011 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1014 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1015 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1016 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1017 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1018 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1019 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1022 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1024 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1026 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1027 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1031 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1032 method when that method was provided by another role being
1033 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1034 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1036 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1038 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1039 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1041 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1042 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1043 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1044 - added test for this (t0m)
1046 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1047 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1048 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1050 - added test for this (t0m)
1053 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1054 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1055 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1058 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1059 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1061 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1063 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1064 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1066 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1067 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1068 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1070 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1071 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1074 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1075 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1076 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1077 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1081 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1082 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1083 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1086 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1087 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1088 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1089 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1092 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1096 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1097 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1098 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1100 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1101 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1102 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1103 created so that the process can be more easily
1104 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1106 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1107 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1108 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1109 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1111 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1112 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1115 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1116 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1118 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1119 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1120 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1122 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1123 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1124 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1126 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1127 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1129 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1130 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1133 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1134 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1138 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1139 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1141 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1142 ... this is not my day today ...
1144 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1145 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1146 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1147 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1148 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1151 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1152 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1153 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1154 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1155 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1158 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1160 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1161 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1162 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1163 this is not ever something you want to do
1164 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1165 - added tests for this (stevan)
1168 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1170 - added test for this
1172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1173 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1174 - added tests for this (wreis)
1176 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1177 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1178 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1179 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1181 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1182 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1183 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1186 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1188 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1190 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1193 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1194 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1195 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1196 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1197 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1198 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1199 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1200 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1201 - added tests for this
1203 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1204 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1205 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1206 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1208 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1210 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1211 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1212 - added tests for this (sartak)
1213 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1214 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1217 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1219 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1220 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1222 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1224 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1225 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1227 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1229 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1230 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1233 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1234 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1235 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1238 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1239 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1241 - added docs for this (TODO).
1242 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1243 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1244 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1245 - fix builder and default both being used
1250 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1252 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1253 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1254 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1258 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1262 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1263 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1264 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1266 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1267 - move the ClassName type check code to
1268 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1270 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1271 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1273 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1274 (early morning release engineering)--
1276 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1277 which was causing the indexer to choke
1279 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1280 (late night release engineering)--
1282 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1283 changes in this release
1285 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1286 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1287 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1289 * Moose::Meta::Class
1290 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1291 since it is called so often by &meta
1293 * Moose::Meta::Class
1295 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1296 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1300 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1301 method for immutablization to check if the
1302 destructor object even needs to be created
1305 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1306 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1307 - added more descriptive error message to help
1308 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1309 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1311 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1313 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1314 XS based functionality is now optional
1315 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1316 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1317 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1319 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1320 to take care of this, mostly we added
1321 support for the package_name and name
1322 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1323 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1324 support regexp matching of names
1325 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1326 - tests added for this
1327 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1328 is currently not supported in roles,
1329 but, ... patches welcome
1330 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1331 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1332 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1335 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1336 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1337 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1338 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1339 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1340 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1341 - added test for this
1343 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1344 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1345 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1348 * Moose::Meta::Class
1349 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1353 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1355 - added tests for this
1356 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1357 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1359 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1360 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1361 themselves parameterizable types
1363 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1364 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1365 called by the inlined immutable
1367 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1369 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1370 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1371 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1372 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1374 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1375 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1379 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1380 causing occasional cpantester failures
1381 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1382 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1384 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1386 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1387 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1390 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1391 ->body when looping through the
1392 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1394 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1395 eating the $@ values, and so not
1396 working correctly, it still kind of
1397 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1398 - added tests for this
1400 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7

1420 drink more coffee before
1421 doing release engineering
1423 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1538 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1540 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1890 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1893 * Parameterized Types
1894 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1895 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1896 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1897 They can also be nested:
1898 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1899 And work with the type unions as well:
1900 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1902 * Better Framework Extendability
1903 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1904 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1905 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1906 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1909 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1910 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1911 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1912 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2075 - added tests and docs for this
2076 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2077 default for where be { 1 }
2078 - added test for this
2080 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2081 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2082 merlyn for finding this bug
2083 - tests added for this
2084 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2087 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2088 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2089 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2090 - added tests for this
2092 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2094 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2106 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2107 where not handled correctly in roles
2108 - added tests for this
2110 * Moose::Meta::Class
2111 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2112 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2113 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2115 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2116 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2118 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2119 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2120 so this release is just to fix that.
2123 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2124 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2125 (thanks to konobi for this)
2126 - added tests and docs
2128 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2129 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2131 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2132 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2133 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2134 - added tests for this
2135 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2136 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2137 functions to facilitate introspection.
2139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2140 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2141 to build the list of delegated methods
2142 correctly (and not override important
2143 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2145 - added tests and docs for this
2146 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2147 so that you can actually document your
2148 attributes and inspect them through the
2150 - added tests and docs for this
2152 * Moose::Meta::Class
2153 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2154 it will first look in for the class in the
2155 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2156 then default to just loading $name.
2157 - added tests and docs for this
2159 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2160 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2161 - added test for this
2164 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2165 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2166 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2167 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2169 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2170 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2173 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2175 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2176 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2177 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2180 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2181 !! for this developer release to work !!
2183 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2184 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2185 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2186 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2187 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2188 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2189 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2190 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2191 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2192 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2193 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2195 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2196 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2197 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2198 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2201 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2202 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2203 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2204 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2205 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2207 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2209 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2210 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2213 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2214 called unless they actually need to be.
2215 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2216 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2217 DEMOLISH method present.
2219 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2220 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2221 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2222 type constraint, which allows for a
2223 hand optimized version of the type
2224 constraint to be used when possible.
2225 - Any internally created type constraints
2226 now provide an optimized version as well.
2228 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2230 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2231 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2232 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2234 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2235 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2236 your class namespace of these exported
2239 * Moose::Meta::Class
2240 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2241 comes up during global destruction
2243 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2247 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2251 - changed how we do type checks so that
2252 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2255 - moved accessor generation methods to
2256 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2257 conform to the API changes from
2260 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2261 - changed how constraints are compiled
2262 so that we do less recursion and more
2263 iteration. This makes the type check
2265 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2268 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2269 - created this from methods formerly found in
2270 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2272 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2273 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2275 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2276 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2278 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2279 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2281 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2283 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2284 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2285 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2286 - added tests for this
2287 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2288 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2289 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2290 - removed tests for this
2292 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2294 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2295 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2296 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2299 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2300 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2301 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2303 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2304 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2305 comments for more info.
2308 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2309 asked questions and common problems
2311 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2312 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2313 - added tests for this
2315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2316 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2317 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2318 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2320 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2321 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2324 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2325 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2326 is much appreciated :)
2327 - added tests for this
2329 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2330 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2331 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2334 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2335 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2337 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2339 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2340 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2344 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2345 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2346 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2348 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2350 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2353 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2354 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2355 keywords because we need to localize them.
2356 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2358 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2359 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2360 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2363 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2366 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2367 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2368 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2371 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2372 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2373 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2375 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2377 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2378 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2379 bottom of your class file.
2382 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2385 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2387 - improved error message when loading modules so
2388 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2389 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2390 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2393 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2394 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2395 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2397 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2398 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2400 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2401 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2402 turn them on for you.
2403 - added tests for this

2432 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2433 - This release works in combination with
2434 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2435 release because it uses the a new
2436 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2437 complete Role implementation. It has
2438 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2439 the the previous CPAN version. This
2440 release also lacks good updated docs,
2441 the official release will have updated docs.
2444 - refactored the keyword exports
2445 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2446 accepts more than one Role at a time

2452 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2453 accepts more than one Role at a time
2455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2457 string enumerations which can be used as
2459 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2462 - more careful checking of params to new()
2465 - much work done on the role composition
2466 - many new tests for conflict detection
2467 and composition edge cases
2468 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2469 looking at the tests
2471 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2472 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2473 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2483 - some small changes to support the new
2485 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2486 with the 'handles' option

2494 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2495 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2496 on a per-attribute basis
2497 - added tests for this
2498 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2499 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
