1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 - The unimport subs it generates now clean up re-exported functions like
6 blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from somewhere
9 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
10 - Changed Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets
11 from substr et al, again. (sorear)
12 - Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
15 - Use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors if
17 - Use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop test extraction and general
18 failures if you don't have the author side dependencies installed
21 - Added a with_immutable test function, to run a block of tests with and
22 without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
25 - Add Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports to allow easier testing
26 of TypeConsraints from the command line. (perigrin)
28 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
29 - Grammar error [rt.cpan.org #51791] (Amir E. Aharoni)
31 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
33 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
37 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
39 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
40 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
41 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
43 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
44 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
45 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
47 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
48 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
51 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
52 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
55 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
56 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
57 remove_accessors. (doy)
59 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
60 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
61 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
63 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
64 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
66 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
67 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
68 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
69 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
72 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
73 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
75 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
76 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
78 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
80 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
81 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
84 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
85 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
86 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
87 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
88 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
90 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
91 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
92 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
93 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
94 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
95 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
96 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
99 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
100 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
101 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
102 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
103 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
105 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
106 which were not receiving the value of
107 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
108 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
109 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
110 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
114 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
115 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
116 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
117 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
118 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
121 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
122 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
123 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
124 - added tests for this (Stevan)
127 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
128 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
129 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
132 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
133 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
134 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
137 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
138 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
141 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
142 class if you pass it options for
143 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
144 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
145 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
146 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
147 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
148 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
149 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
150 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
151 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
153 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
154 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
155 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
156 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
157 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
160 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
161 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
162 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
163 existing delegation API. (hdp)
165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
166 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
167 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
168 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
169 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
170 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
173 * Moose::Error::Croak
174 * Moose::Error::Confess
175 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
176 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
179 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
182 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
183 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
184 installing a broken sub. (doy)
187 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
190 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
191 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
192 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
194 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
195 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
196 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
197 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
198 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
200 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
201 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
204 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
206 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
207 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
210 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
211 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
213 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
215 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
216 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
219 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
220 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
221 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
222 using it for new code!
224 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
225 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
226 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
227 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
229 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
230 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
231 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
232 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
233 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
234 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
235 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
236 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
239 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
242 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
243 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
247 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
249 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
250 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
251 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
255 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
256 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
259 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
260 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
262 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
263 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
264 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
267 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
268 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
269 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
270 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
271 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
272 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
274 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
276 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
279 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
280 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
281 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
283 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
284 associated_methods. (hdp)
285 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
286 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
287 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
288 misspelled) arguments
290 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
291 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
292 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
293 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
295 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
296 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
297 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
299 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
302 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
303 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
304 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
307 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
308 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
310 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
312 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
313 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
315 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
316 * Moose::Manual::Types
317 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
318 string parsing rathole (mst)
320 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
321 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
322 using plain objects instead
324 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
325 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
328 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
330 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
331 three times today (perigrin)
332 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
333 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
335 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
336 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
337 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
338 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
341 - A role's required methods are now represented by
342 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
343 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
344 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
345 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
346 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
349 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
350 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
351 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
352 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
355 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
357 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
360 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
362 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
365 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
366 during global destruction. This method has been made more
367 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
371 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
372 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
375 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
376 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
378 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
379 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
380 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
383 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
385 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
386 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
389 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
393 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
394 methods during global destruction (doy)
397 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
398 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
402 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
403 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
406 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
407 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
410 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
411 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
413 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
415 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
419 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
420 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
421 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
424 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
425 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
426 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
429 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
431 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
432 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
433 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
436 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
437 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
438 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
439 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
441 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
442 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
443 of the Moose core (Sartak)
446 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
449 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
450 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
451 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
455 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
456 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
459 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
461 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
464 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
465 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
468 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
469 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
472 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
473 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
476 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
479 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
481 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
482 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
486 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
488 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
489 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
492 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
493 * More deprecations and renamings
494 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
495 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
496 when an object is constructed)
499 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
500 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
501 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
503 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
504 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
505 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
506 feature, and it works again.
509 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
511 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
513 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
514 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
515 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
517 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
518 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
519 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
520 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
521 message. Test provided by perigrin.
523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
524 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
525 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
526 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
527 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
530 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
531 metaclass object. (hdp)
533 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
534 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
535 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
536 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
537 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
538 point out this fact. (hdp)
540 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
541 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
543 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
544 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
547 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
548 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
549 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
550 called during instance construction were passed the
551 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
552 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
554 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
555 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
558 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
559 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
560 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
563 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
564 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
565 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
566 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
567 them, but they are not for "public" use.
570 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
572 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
573 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
574 when an object is constructed)
575 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
577 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
578 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
579 when an object is constructed)
580 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
581 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
582 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
585 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
587 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
588 * No changes from 0.72_01.
590 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
592 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
593 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
594 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
596 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
597 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
598 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
600 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
602 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
603 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
605 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
606 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
609 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
610 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
613 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
614 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
615 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
617 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
618 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
622 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
623 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
624 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
626 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
627 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
630 * Moose::Manual::Delta
631 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
632 with recommended workarounds.
634 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
635 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
637 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
638 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
639 (yes, spelled like that).
641 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
642 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
645 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
646 changes in latest Class::MOP.
648 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
651 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
652 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
653 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
654 instead. Reported by doy.
656 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
658 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
659 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
661 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
662 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
663 message) is now deprecated.
664 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
665 often got it wrong. For example:
667 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
669 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
673 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
674 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
675 bite you in weird cases.
677 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
678 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
679 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
682 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
683 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
687 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
690 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
691 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
694 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
695 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
698 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
701 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
702 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
703 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
704 - added tests for this (stevan)
706 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
707 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
708 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
709 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
713 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
714 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
715 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
716 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
718 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
719 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
720 - added tests for this (rafl)
722 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
723 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
724 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
725 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
729 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
730 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
733 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
734 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
735 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
737 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
739 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
740 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
743 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
744 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
745 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
746 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
749 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
750 error message did not specify the attribute name
753 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
755 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
757 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
758 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
759 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
761 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
762 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
765 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
767 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
768 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
769 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
770 of fixes and formatting improvements.
772 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
774 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
775 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
776 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
777 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
779 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
780 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
781 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
783 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
784 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
785 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
786 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
787 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
789 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
790 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
791 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
792 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
793 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
795 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
796 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
797 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
798 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
799 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
800 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
802 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
803 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
804 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
805 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
806 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
807 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
809 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
810 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
812 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
813 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
814 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
815 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
817 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
818 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
821 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
825 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
826 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
828 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
829 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
830 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
833 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
834 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
835 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
837 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
838 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
839 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
840 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
843 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
846 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
847 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
849 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
851 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
854 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
855 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
856 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
857 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
858 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
859 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
861 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
862 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
863 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
864 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
865 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
866 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
867 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
868 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
869 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
870 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
872 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
874 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
875 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
877 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
878 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
879 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
880 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
882 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
883 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
884 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
885 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
886 same methods for a single role did not work
887 right (worked just fine with multiple
889 - added test for this (stevan)
891 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
892 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
893 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
896 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
897 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
898 - added test for this (t0m)
901 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
902 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
903 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
905 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
906 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
907 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
908 - added test for this (t0m)
910 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
911 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
912 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
913 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
914 - added test for this (perigrin)
917 - create method for constructing a role
919 - added test for this (Sartak)
920 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
921 - added test for this (Sartak)
924 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
926 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
927 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
928 methods is useful (Sartak)
930 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
931 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
932 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
936 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
937 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
938 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
939 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
940 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
941 - added tests for this (jdv79)
944 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
945 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
947 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
948 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
949 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
950 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
951 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
953 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
955 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
956 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
957 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
960 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
961 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
962 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
963 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
964 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
965 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
968 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
969 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
970 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
971 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
972 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
973 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
974 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
975 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
976 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
977 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
978 future. (jnapiorkowski)
980 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
981 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
984 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
985 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
986 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
987 type. (jnapiorkowski)
988 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
990 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
992 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
993 predicate, and link to more details sections in
994 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
996 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
997 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1000 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1001 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1002 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1005 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1006 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1008 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1010 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1011 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1013 * Moose::Meta::Class
1014 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1015 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1016 a required attribute
1018 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1019 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1020 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1021 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1023 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1024 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1026 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1027 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1028 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1029 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1030 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1031 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1032 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1033 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1035 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1036 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1037 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1039 * Roles and role application
1040 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1041 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1042 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1043 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1044 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1046 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1047 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1050 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1051 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1052 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1053 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1054 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1057 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1058 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1059 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1060 changes in the Moose internals.
1062 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1063 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1064 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1067 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1068 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1069 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1070 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1072 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1073 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1074 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1075 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1078 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1079 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1080 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1081 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1082 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1083 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1084 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1085 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1086 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1087 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1088 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1089 constraint implementations.
1091 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1095 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1096 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1097 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1098 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1099 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1100 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1101 - added tests for this (rafl)
1103 * Moose::Meta::Class
1104 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1105 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1106 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1107 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1108 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1109 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1110 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1111 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1114 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1115 - added tests for this (thepler)
1117 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1118 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1119 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1120 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1123 * Moose::Meta::Class
1124 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1125 * Moose::Meta::Method
1128 * Moose::Error::Default
1129 * Moose::Error::Croak
1130 * Moose::Error::Confess
1131 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1132 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1133 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1134 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1135 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1136 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1138 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1140 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1141 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1143 * Moose::Unsweetened
1144 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1145 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1146 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1148 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1149 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1150 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1151 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1152 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1155 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1156 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1158 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1159 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1160 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1161 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1164 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1166 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1167 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1169 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1172 - Various bug fixes.
1174 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1175 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1177 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1179 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1180 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1181 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1182 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1183 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1184 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1186 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1187 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1188 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1190 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1191 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1192 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1195 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1196 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1197 dependency to 0.64_07.
1199 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1200 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1201 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1203 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1204 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1207 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1208 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1209 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1210 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1211 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1212 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1214 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1215 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1217 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1219 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1220 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1224 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1225 method when that method was provided by another role being
1226 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1227 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1229 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1231 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1232 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1235 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1236 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1237 - added test for this (t0m)
1239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1240 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1241 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1243 - added test for this (t0m)
1246 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1247 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1248 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1251 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1252 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1254 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1256 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1257 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1259 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1260 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1261 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1263 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1264 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1267 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1268 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1269 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1270 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1274 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1275 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1276 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1279 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1280 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1281 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1282 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1285 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1289 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1290 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1291 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1293 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1294 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1295 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1296 created so that the process can be more easily
1297 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1299 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1300 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1301 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1302 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1304 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1305 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1308 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1309 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1311 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1312 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1313 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1315 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1316 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1317 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1319 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1320 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1322 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1323 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1326 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1327 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1331 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1332 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1334 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1335 ... this is not my day today ...
1337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1338 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1339 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1340 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1341 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1344 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1345 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1346 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1347 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1348 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1351 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1353 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1354 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1355 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1356 this is not ever something you want to do
1357 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

1386 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1387 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1388 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1389 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1390 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1391 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1392 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1393 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1394 - added tests for this
1396 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1397 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2067 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2070 - fixed how required methods are handled
2071 when they encounter overriden or modified
2072 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2073 - added tests for this
2075 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2076 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2077 the | always creates a union and so is
2078 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2079 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2081 - added more tests for this
2083 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2086 * Parameterized Types
2087 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2088 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2089 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2090 They can also be nested:
2091 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2092 And work with the type unions as well:
2093 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2095 * Better Framework Extendability
2096 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2097 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2098 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2099 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2102 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2103 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2104 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2105 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2108 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2110 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2160 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2162 - added tests for this
2164 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2170 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2171 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2173 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2190 (thanks to shlomif).
2192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2193 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2194 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2195 - added tests for this

2243 (but not changing the handles option)
2244 - added tests and docs for this
2247 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2248 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2259 the other side (perigrin)
2261 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2262 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2263 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2264 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2265 prototypes for functions
2266 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2267 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2277 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2280 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2281 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2282 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2283 - added tests for this
2285 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2287 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2305 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2306 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2308 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2309 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2311 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2312 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2313 so this release is just to fix that.
2316 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2317 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2318 (thanks to konobi for this)
2319 - added tests and docs
2321 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2322 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2324 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2325 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2326 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2327 - added tests for this

2329 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2330 functions to facilitate introspection.
2332 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2333 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2334 to build the list of delegated methods
2335 correctly (and not override important
2336 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2338 - added tests and docs for this
2339 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2340 so that you can actually document your
2341 attributes and inspect them through the
2343 - added tests and docs for this
2345 * Moose::Meta::Class
2346 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2347 it will first look in for the class in the
2348 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2349 then default to just loading $name.
2350 - added tests and docs for this
2352 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2353 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2354 - added test for this
2357 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2358 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2359 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2360 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2362 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2363 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2366 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2368 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2369 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2370 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2373 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2374 !! for this developer release to work !!
2376 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2377 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2378 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2379 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2380 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2381 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2382 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2383 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2384 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2385 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2386 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2388 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2389 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2390 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2391 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2394 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2395 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2396 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2397 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2398 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2400 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2402 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2403 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2406 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2407 called unless they actually need to be.
2408 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2409 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2410 DEMOLISH method present.
2412 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2413 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2414 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2415 type constraint, which allows for a
2416 hand optimized version of the type
2417 constraint to be used when possible.
2418 - Any internally created type constraints
2419 now provide an optimized version as well.
2421 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2423 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2424 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2425 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2427 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2428 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2429 your class namespace of these exported
2432 * Moose::Meta::Class
2433 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2434 comes up during global destruction
2436 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2440 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2444 - changed how we do type checks so that
2445 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2448 - moved accessor generation methods to
2449 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2450 conform to the API changes from
2453 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2454 - changed how constraints are compiled
2455 so that we do less recursion and more
2456 iteration. This makes the type check
2458 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2461 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2462 - created this from methods formerly found in
2463 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2465 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2466 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2468 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2469 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2471 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2472 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2474 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2476 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2477 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2478 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2479 - added tests for this
2480 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2481 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2482 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2483 - removed tests for this
2485 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2487 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2488 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2489 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2492 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2493 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2494 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2496 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2497 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2498 comments for more info.
2501 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2502 asked questions and common problems
2504 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2505 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2506 - added tests for this
2508 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2509 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2510 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2511 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2513 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2514 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2517 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2518 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2519 is much appreciated :)
2520 - added tests for this
2522 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2523 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2524 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2527 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2528 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2530 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2532 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2533 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2537 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2538 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2539 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2541 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2543 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2546 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2547 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2548 keywords because we need to localize them.
2549 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2551 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2552 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2553 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2556 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2559 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2560 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2561 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2564 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2565 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2566 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2568 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2570 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2571 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2572 bottom of your class file.
2575 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2578 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2580 - improved error message when loading modules so
2581 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2582 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2583 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2586 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2587 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2588 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2590 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2591 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2593 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2594 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2595 turn them on for you.
2596 - added tests for this
2597 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2598 in Moose::Meta::Class
2601 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2602 automatically turned on for you.
2603 - added tests for this
2606 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2607 - added tests for this
2608 - added some more edge case tests

2621 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2624 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2625 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2626 - This release works in combination with
2627 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2628 release because it uses the a new
2629 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2630 complete Role implementation. It has
2631 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2632 the the previous CPAN version. This
2633 release also lacks good updated docs,
2634 the official release will have updated docs.
2637 - refactored the keyword exports
2638 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2639 accepts more than one Role at a time
2640 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2641 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2644 - refactored the keyword exports
2645 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2646 accepts more than one Role at a time
2648 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2649 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2650 string enumerations which can be used as
2652 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2655 - more careful checking of params to new()
2658 - much work done on the role composition
2659 - many new tests for conflict detection
2660 and composition edge cases
2661 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2662 looking at the tests
2664 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2665 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2666 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2668 * Moose::Meta::Class
2669 - some small changes to support the new
2671 - some small additions to support Roles
2673 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2674 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2676 - some small changes to support the new
2678 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2679 with the 'handles' option
2680 - added several tests for this
2681 - no docs for this yet
2683 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2685 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2686 thanks to chansen for this commit
2687 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2688 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2689 on a per-attribute basis
2690 - added tests for this
2691 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2692 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2693 experimental feature and probably not finished
2694 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2695 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2696 - added tests for this
2699 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2706 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2707 thanks to chansen for this commit

2710 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
2711 construct_instance (for the better)
2713 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2714 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2715 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
