1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
9 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
12 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2010
16 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
17 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
18 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
20 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
24 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
25 policy. (Chris Prather)
27 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
28 on this new support policy. (doy)
32 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
33 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
34 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
36 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed all the docs. Now it's
37 listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
39 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
43 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
44 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
45 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
46 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
53 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
54 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
57 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
61 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
62 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
64 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
65 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
69 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
70 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
71 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
72 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
73 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
74 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
76 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
77 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
79 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
80 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
81 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
84 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
85 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
87 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
92 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
93 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
95 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
99 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
100 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
101 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
103 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
107 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
108 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
109 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
111 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
112 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
115 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
116 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
119 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
120 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
121 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
123 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
124 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
129 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
130 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
131 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
132 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
134 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
135 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
137 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
138 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
140 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
141 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
142 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
143 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
145 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
146 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
147 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
150 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
151 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
152 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
153 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
155 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
156 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
159 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
160 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
161 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
163 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
167 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
168 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
169 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
171 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
172 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
173 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
176 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
177 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
178 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
180 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
181 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
182 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
184 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
185 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
189 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
190 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
191 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
193 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
194 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
195 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
196 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
198 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
202 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
203 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
204 value is a reference.
206 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
207 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
209 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
213 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
214 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
215 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
217 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
221 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
222 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
226 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
227 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
228 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
230 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
231 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
232 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
234 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
238 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
240 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
244 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
246 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
247 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
252 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
253 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
255 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
256 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
257 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
258 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
259 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
261 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
262 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
263 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
264 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
266 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
270 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
271 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
276 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
278 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
280 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
285 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
287 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
291 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
292 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
293 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
295 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
296 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
297 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
298 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
300 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
301 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
302 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
303 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
304 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
307 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
312 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
313 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
314 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
315 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
316 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
319 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
323 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
326 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
327 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
331 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
332 function (not just method). (doy)
336 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
337 and aren't easily installable/testable.
339 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
343 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
344 to be overridden more easily (doy).
346 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
350 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
351 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
353 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
357 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
358 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
359 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
361 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
365 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
366 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
367 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
369 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
370 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
374 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
375 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
377 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
378 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
382 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
383 is applied to a class (t0m).
385 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
386 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
388 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
391 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
392 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
394 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
395 be much more robust. (doy)
397 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
399 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
402 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
406 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
407 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
409 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
413 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
414 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
416 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
419 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
420 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
421 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
423 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
424 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
425 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
428 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
430 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
434 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
435 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
439 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
441 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
446 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
450 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
451 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
455 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
457 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
461 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
462 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
466 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
467 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
471 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
472 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
474 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
478 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
479 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
480 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
483 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
487 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
488 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
489 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
490 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
492 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
496 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
497 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
498 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
502 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
505 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
509 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
510 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
511 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
515 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
516 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
518 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
519 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
520 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
521 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
523 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
527 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
531 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
532 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
534 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
535 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
536 - Moose::Util::does_role
537 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
538 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
539 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
541 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
545 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
546 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
547 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
550 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
554 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
555 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
558 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
562 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
563 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
566 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
570 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
572 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
573 class. (Dave Rolsky).
575 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
576 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
577 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
579 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
580 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
581 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
584 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
585 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
587 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
588 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
589 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
591 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
593 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
594 substr et al, again. (sorear)
596 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
598 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
601 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
602 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
604 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
605 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
607 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
608 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
609 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
610 dependencies installed.
612 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
613 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
616 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
618 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
622 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
624 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
625 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
626 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
628 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
629 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
630 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
632 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
633 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
636 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
637 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
638 others. (nothingmuch)
640 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
641 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
642 remove_accessors. (doy)
644 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
645 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
646 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
648 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
649 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
651 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
652 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
653 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
654 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
657 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
658 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
660 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
661 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
663 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
665 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
666 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
669 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
670 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
671 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
672 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
673 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
675 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
676 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
677 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
678 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
679 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
680 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
681 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
684 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
685 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
686 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
687 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
688 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
690 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
691 which were not receiving the value of
692 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
693 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
694 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
695 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
699 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
700 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
701 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
702 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
703 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
706 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
707 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
708 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
709 - added tests for this (Stevan)
712 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
713 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
714 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
717 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
718 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
719 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
721 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
722 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
723 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
726 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
727 class if you pass it options for
728 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
729 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
730 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
731 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
732 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
733 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
734 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
735 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
736 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
738 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
739 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
740 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
741 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
742 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
745 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
746 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
747 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
748 existing delegation API. (hdp)
750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
751 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
752 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
753 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
754 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
755 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
758 * Moose::Error::Croak
759 * Moose::Error::Confess
760 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
761 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
764 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
767 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
768 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
769 installing a broken sub. (doy)
772 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
775 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
776 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
777 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
779 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
780 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
781 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
782 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
783 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
785 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
786 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
789 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
791 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
792 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
795 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
796 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
798 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
799 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
800 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
801 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
803 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
804 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
805 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
806 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
807 using it for new code!
809 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
810 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
811 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
812 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
814 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
815 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
816 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
817 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
818 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
819 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
820 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
821 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
824 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
827 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
828 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
831 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
832 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
834 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
835 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
836 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
839 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
840 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
841 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
844 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
845 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
847 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
848 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
849 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
852 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
853 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
854 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
855 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
856 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
857 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
859 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
861 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
864 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
865 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
866 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
868 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
869 associated_methods. (hdp)
870 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
871 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
872 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
873 misspelled) arguments
875 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
876 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
877 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
878 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
880 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
881 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
882 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
884 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
887 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
888 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
889 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
892 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
893 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
895 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
897 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
898 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
900 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
901 * Moose::Manual::Types
902 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
903 string parsing rathole (mst)
905 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
906 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
907 using plain objects instead
909 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
910 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
913 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
915 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
916 three times today (perigrin)
917 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
918 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
920 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
921 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
922 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
923 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
926 - A role's required methods are now represented by
927 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
928 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
929 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
930 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
931 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
934 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
935 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
936 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
937 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
940 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
942 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
945 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
947 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
950 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
951 during global destruction. This method has been made more
952 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
956 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
957 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
960 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
961 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
963 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
964 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
965 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
968 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
970 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
971 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
974 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
978 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
979 methods during global destruction (doy)
982 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
983 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
987 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
988 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
991 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
992 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
995 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
996 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
998 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1000 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1004 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1005 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1006 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1009 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1010 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1011 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1014 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1016 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1017 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1018 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1022 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1023 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1024 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1026 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1027 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1028 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1031 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1034 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1035 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1036 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1040 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1041 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1043 * Moose::Meta::Class
1044 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1046 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1048 * Moose::Meta::Class
1049 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1050 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1053 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1054 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1057 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1058 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1061 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1064 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1066 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1067 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1070 * Moose::Meta::Class
1071 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1073 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1074 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1077 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1078 * More deprecations and renamings
1079 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1080 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1081 when an object is constructed)
1084 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1085 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1086 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1088 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1089 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1090 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1091 feature, and it works again.
1094 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1096 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1098 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1099 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1100 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1103 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1104 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1105 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1106 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1109 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1110 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1111 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1112 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1115 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1116 metaclass object. (hdp)
1118 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1119 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1120 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1121 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1122 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1123 point out this fact. (hdp)
1125 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1126 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1128 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1129 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1131 * Moose::Meta::Class
1132 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1133 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1134 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1135 called during instance construction were passed the
1136 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1137 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1139 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1140 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1143 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1144 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1145 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1148 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1149 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1150 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1151 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1152 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1154 - Moose::Meta::Class
1155 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1157 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1158 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1159 when an object is constructed)
1160 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1162 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1163 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1164 when an object is constructed)
1165 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1166 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1167 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1170 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1172 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1173 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1175 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1177 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1178 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1179 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1181 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1182 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1183 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1185 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1187 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1188 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1190 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1191 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1194 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1195 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1198 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1199 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1200 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1202 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1203 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1207 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1208 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1209 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1211 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1212 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1215 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1216 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1217 with recommended workarounds.
1219 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1220 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1222 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1223 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1224 (yes, spelled like that).
1226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1227 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1229 * Moose::Meta::Class
1230 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1231 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1233 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1235 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1236 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1237 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1238 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1239 instead. Reported by doy.
1241 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1243 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1244 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1246 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1247 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1248 message) is now deprecated.
1249 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1250 often got it wrong. For example:
1252 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1254 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1258 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1259 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1260 bite you in weird cases.
1262 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1263 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1264 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1265 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1267 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1268 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1272 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1275 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1276 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1279 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1280 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1283 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1286 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1287 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1288 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1289 - added tests for this (stevan)
1291 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1292 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1293 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1294 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1298 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1299 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1300 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1301 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1303 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1304 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1305 - added tests for this (rafl)
1307 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1308 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1309 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1310 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1314 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1315 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1318 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1319 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1320 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1322 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1324 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1325 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1327 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1328 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1329 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1330 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1331 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1333 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1334 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1335 error message did not specify the attribute name
1338 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1340 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1342 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1343 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1344 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1346 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1347 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1350 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1352 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1353 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1354 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1355 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1357 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1359 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1360 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1361 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1362 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1364 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1365 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1366 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1368 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1369 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1370 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1371 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1372 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1374 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1375 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1376 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1377 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1378 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1380 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1381 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1382 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1383 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1384 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1385 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1387 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1388 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1389 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1390 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1391 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1392 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1394 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1395 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1397 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1398 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1399 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1400 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1402 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1403 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1406 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1410 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1411 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1413 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1414 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1415 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1416 guts. (nothingmuch).
1418 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1420 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1422 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1423 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1424 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1425 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1427 * Moose::Meta::Class
1428 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1431 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1432 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1434 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1435 * Moose::Unsweetened
1436 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1439 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1440 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1441 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1442 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1443 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1444 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1447 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1448 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1449 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1450 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1451 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1452 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1453 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1454 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1455 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1457 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1459 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1460 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1462 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1463 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1464 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1465 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1467 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1468 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1469 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1470 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1471 same methods for a single role did not work
1472 right (worked just fine with multiple
1474 - added test for this (stevan)
1476 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1477 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1478 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1481 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1482 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1483 - added test for this (t0m)
1486 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1487 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1488 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1490 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1491 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1492 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1493 - added test for this (t0m)
1495 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1496 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1497 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1498 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1499 - added test for this (perigrin)
1502 - create method for constructing a role
1503 dynamically (Sartak)
1504 - added test for this (Sartak)
1505 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1506 - added test for this (Sartak)
1509 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1511 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1512 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1513 methods is useful (Sartak)
1515 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1516 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1517 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1520 * Moose::Meta::Class
1521 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1522 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1523 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1524 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1525 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1526 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1529 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1530 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1532 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1533 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1534 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1535 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1536 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1538 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1540 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1541 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1542 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1545 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1546 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1547 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1548 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1549 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1550 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1553 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1554 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1555 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1556 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1557 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1558 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1559 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1560 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1561 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1562 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1563 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1565 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1566 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1569 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1570 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1571 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1572 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1573 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1575 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1577 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1578 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1579 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1581 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1582 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1584 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1585 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1586 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1587 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1590 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1591 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1593 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1595 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1596 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1598 * Moose::Meta::Class
1599 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1600 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1601 a required attribute
1603 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1604 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1605 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1606 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1608 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1609 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1611 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1612 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1613 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1614 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1615 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1616 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1617 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1618 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1620 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1621 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1622 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1624 * Roles and role application
1625 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1626 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1627 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1628 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1629 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1631 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1632 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1635 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1636 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1637 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1638 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1639 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1642 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1643 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1644 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1645 changes in the Moose internals.
1647 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1648 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1649 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1652 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1653 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1654 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1655 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1657 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1658 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1659 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1660 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1662 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1663 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1664 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1665 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1666 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1667 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1668 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1669 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1670 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1671 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1672 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1673 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1674 constraint implementations.
1676 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1680 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1681 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1682 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1683 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1684 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1685 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1686 - added tests for this (rafl)
1688 * Moose::Meta::Class
1689 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1690 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1691 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1692 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1693 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1694 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1695 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1696 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1699 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1700 - added tests for this (thepler)
1702 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1703 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1704 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1705 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1708 * Moose::Meta::Class
1709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1710 * Moose::Meta::Method
1713 * Moose::Error::Default
1714 * Moose::Error::Croak
1715 * Moose::Error::Confess
1716 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1717 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1718 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1719 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1720 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1721 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1723 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1725 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1726 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1728 * Moose::Unsweetened
1729 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1730 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1731 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1733 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1734 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1735 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1736 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1737 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1740 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1741 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1743 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1744 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1745 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1746 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1749 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1751 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1752 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1754 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1757 - Various bug fixes.
1759 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1760 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1762 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1764 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1765 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1766 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1767 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1768 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1769 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1771 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1772 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1773 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1775 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1776 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1777 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1780 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1781 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1782 dependency to 0.64_07.
1784 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1785 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1786 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1789 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1792 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1793 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1794 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1795 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1796 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1797 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1799 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1800 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1802 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1804 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1805 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1809 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1810 method when that method was provided by another role being
1811 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1812 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1814 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1816 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1817 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1819 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1820 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1821 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1822 - added test for this (t0m)
1824 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1825 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1826 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1828 - added test for this (t0m)
1831 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1832 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1833 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1836 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1837 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1839 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1841 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1842 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1844 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1845 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1846 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1848 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1849 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1852 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1853 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1854 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1855 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1859 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1860 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1861 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1864 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1865 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1866 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1867 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1870 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1874 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1875 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1876 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1878 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1879 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1880 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1881 created so that the process can be more easily
1882 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1884 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1885 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1886 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1887 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1890 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1893 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1894 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1896 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1897 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1898 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1900 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1901 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1902 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1904 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1905 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1907 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1908 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1911 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1912 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1916 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1917 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1919 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1920 ... this is not my day today ...
1922 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1923 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1924 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1925 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1926 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1929 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1930 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1931 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1932 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1933 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1936 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1938 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1939 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1940 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1941 this is not ever something you want to do
1942 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1943 - added tests for this (stevan)
1946 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1948 - added test for this
1950 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1951 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1952 - added tests for this (wreis)
1954 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1955 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1956 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1957 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1959 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1960 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1961 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1964 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1966 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1968 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1971 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1972 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1973 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1974 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1975 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1976 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1977 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1978 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1979 - added tests for this
1981 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1982 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1983 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1984 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1986 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1988 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1989 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1990 - added tests for this (sartak)
1991 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1992 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1995 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1997 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1998 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2000 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2001 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2002 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2003 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2005 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2007 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2008 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2011 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2012 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2013 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2015 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2016 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2017 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2019 - added docs for this (TODO).
2020 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2021 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2022 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2023 - fix builder and default both being used
2028 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2030 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2031 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2032 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2036 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2040 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2041 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2042 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2044 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2045 - move the ClassName type check code to
2046 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2048 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2049 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2051 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2052 (early morning release engineering)--
2054 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2055 which was causing the indexer to choke
2057 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008

2085 - added more descriptive error message to help
2086 keep people from wasting time tracking an error

2089 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2091 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2092 XS based functionality is now optional
2093 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2094 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2095 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2097 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2098 to take care of this, mostly we added
2099 support for the package_name and name

2106 is currently not supported in roles,
2107 but, ... patches welcome
2108 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2109 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2110 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2113 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2114 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2115 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2116 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

2118 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2119 - added test for this
2121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2165 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2168 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2169 ->body when looping through the
2170 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2172 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2173 eating the $@ values, and so not
2174 working correctly, it still kind of
2175 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2176 - added tests for this

2198 drink more coffee before
2199 doing release engineering
2201 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2202 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2203 modules. This fixes that.
2205 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2206 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2207 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2209 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55

2316 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2318 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2319 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2362 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2363 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2655 - fixed how required methods are handled
2656 when they encounter overriden or modified
2657 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2658 - added tests for this
2660 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2661 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2662 the | always creates a union and so is
2663 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2664 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2666 - added more tests for this
2668 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2671 * Parameterized Types
2672 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2673 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2674 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2675 They can also be nested:
2676 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2677 And work with the type unions as well:
2678 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2680 * Better Framework Extendability
2681 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2682 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2683 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2684 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2687 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2688 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2689 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2690 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2693 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2695 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2696 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2727 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2729 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2730 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2731 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2732 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)

2862 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2865 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2866 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2867 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2868 - added tests for this
2870 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2872 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2894 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2896 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007

2915 functions to facilitate introspection.
2917 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2924 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2925 so that you can actually document your
2926 attributes and inspect them through the

2930 * Moose::Meta::Class
2931 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses

2933 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2934 then default to just loading $name.
2935 - added tests and docs for this
2937 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2938 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2939 - added test for this
2942 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2943 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2944 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2945 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2947 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2948 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2951 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2953 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2954 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2955 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2958 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2959 !! for this developer release to work !!
2961 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2962 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2963 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2964 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2965 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2966 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2967 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2968 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2969 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2970 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2971 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2973 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2974 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2975 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2976 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2979 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2980 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2981 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2982 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2983 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2985 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2987 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2988 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2991 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2992 called unless they actually need to be.
2993 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2994 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2995 DEMOLISH method present.
2997 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2998 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2999 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3000 type constraint, which allows for a
3001 hand optimized version of the type
3002 constraint to be used when possible.
3003 - Any internally created type constraints
3004 now provide an optimized version as well.
3006 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3008 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3009 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3010 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3012 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3013 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3014 your class namespace of these exported
3017 * Moose::Meta::Class
3018 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3019 comes up during global destruction
3021 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3025 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3028 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3029 - changed how we do type checks so that
3030 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3033 - moved accessor generation methods to
3034 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3035 conform to the API changes from
3038 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3039 - changed how constraints are compiled
3040 so that we do less recursion and more
3041 iteration. This makes the type check
3043 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3047 - created this from methods formerly found in
3048 Moose::Meta::Attribute

3051 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3053 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3054 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

3061 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3062 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3063 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3064 - added tests for this
3065 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3066 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3067 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3068 - removed tests for this
3070 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3072 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3073 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3074 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3077 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3078 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3079 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3081 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3082 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3083 comments for more info.
3086 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3087 asked questions and common problems
3089 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3090 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3091 - added tests for this
3093 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3094 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3095 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3096 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3098 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3099 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3102 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3103 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3104 is much appreciated :)
3105 - added tests for this
3107 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3108 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3109 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3112 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3113 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3115 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3117 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3118 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3122 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3123 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3124 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3126 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3128 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3131 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3132 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3133 keywords because we need to localize them.
3134 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3136 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3137 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3138 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3141 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3145 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3146 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3149 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3150 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3151 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3153 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3155 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3156 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3157 bottom of your class file.
3160 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3163 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3165 - improved error message when loading modules so
3166 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3167 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3168 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3171 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3172 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3173 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3176 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3178 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3179 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3180 turn them on for you.
3181 - added tests for this

3210 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3211 - This release works in combination with
3212 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3213 release because it uses the a new
3214 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3215 complete Role implementation. It has
3216 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3217 the the previous CPAN version. This
3218 release also lacks good updated docs,
3219 the official release will have updated docs.
3222 - refactored the keyword exports
3223 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3224 accepts more than one Role at a time

3237 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3240 - more careful checking of params to new()
3243 - much work done on the role composition
3244 - many new tests for conflict detection
3245 and composition edge cases
3246 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3247 looking at the tests

3272 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3273 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3274 on a per-attribute basis
3275 - added tests for this
3276 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3277 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3278 experimental feature and probably not finished
