1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
6 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
7 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
8 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
9 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
10 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
13 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
14 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
15 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
16 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
17 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
19 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
20 which were not receiving the value of
21 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
22 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
23 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
24 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
28 - Add more hooks to customize how roles are applied.
30 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
31 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
32 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
33 - added tests for this (Stevan)
35 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
36 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
37 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
39 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
40 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
41 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
44 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
45 class if you pass it options for
46 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
47 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
48 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
49 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
50 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
51 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
52 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
53 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
54 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
57 - Warn when calling make_immutable on a class with mutable ancestors.
60 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
61 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
62 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
63 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
64 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
67 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
68 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
69 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
70 existing delegation API. (hdp)
72 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
73 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
74 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
75 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
76 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
77 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
81 * Moose::Error::Confess
82 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
83 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
86 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
89 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
90 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
91 installing a broken sub. (doy)
94 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
95 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
97 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
98 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
99 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
100 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
101 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
103 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
104 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
107 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
109 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
110 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
113 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
114 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
117 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
118 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
119 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
121 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
122 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
123 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
124 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
125 using it for new code!
127 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
128 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
129 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
130 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
132 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
133 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
134 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
135 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
136 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
137 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
138 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
139 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
142 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
145 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
146 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
149 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
150 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
152 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
153 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
154 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
158 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
159 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
162 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
163 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
165 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
166 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
167 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
170 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
171 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
172 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
173 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
174 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
175 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
177 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
179 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
182 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
183 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
184 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
186 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
187 associated_methods. (hdp)
188 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
189 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
190 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
191 misspelled) arguments
193 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
194 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
195 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
196 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
199 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
200 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
202 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
206 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
207 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
210 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
211 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
213 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
215 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
216 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
218 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
219 * Moose::Manual::Types
220 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
221 string parsing rathole (mst)
223 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
224 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
225 using plain objects instead
227 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
228 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
231 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
233 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
234 three times today (perigrin)
235 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
236 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
238 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
239 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
240 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
241 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
244 - A role's required methods are now represented by
245 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
246 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
247 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
248 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
249 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
252 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
253 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
254 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
255 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
258 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
260 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
263 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
265 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
268 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
269 during global destruction. This method has been made more
270 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
274 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
275 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
278 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
279 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
281 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
282 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
283 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
286 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
288 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
289 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
292 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
296 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
297 methods during global destruction (doy)
300 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
301 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
305 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
306 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
309 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
310 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
313 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
314 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
316 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
318 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
322 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
323 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
324 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
327 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
328 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
329 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
332 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
334 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
335 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
336 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
339 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
340 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
341 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
342 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
344 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
345 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
346 of the Moose core (Sartak)
349 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
352 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
353 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
354 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
358 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
359 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
362 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
364 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
367 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
368 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
371 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
372 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
375 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
376 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
379 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
382 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
384 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
385 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
389 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
391 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
392 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
395 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
396 * More deprecations and renamings
397 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
398 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
399 when an object is constructed)
402 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
403 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
404 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
406 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
407 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
408 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
409 feature, and it works again.
412 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
414 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
416 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
417 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
418 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
420 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
421 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
422 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
423 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
424 message. Test provided by perigrin.
426 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
427 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
428 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
429 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
430 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
433 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
434 metaclass object. (hdp)
436 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
437 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
438 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
439 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
440 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
441 point out this fact. (hdp)
443 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
444 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
446 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
447 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
451 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
452 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
453 called during instance construction were passed the
454 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
455 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
457 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
458 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
461 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
462 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
463 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
466 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
467 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
468 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
469 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
470 them, but they are not for "public" use.
473 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
475 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
476 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
477 when an object is constructed)
478 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
480 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
481 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
482 when an object is constructed)
483 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
484 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
485 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
488 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
490 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
491 * No changes from 0.72_01.
493 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
495 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
496 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
497 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
500 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
501 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
503 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
505 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
506 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
508 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
509 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
512 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
513 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
516 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
517 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
518 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
520 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
521 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
525 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
526 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
527 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
529 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
530 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
533 * Moose::Manual::Delta
534 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
535 with recommended workarounds.
537 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
538 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
541 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
542 (yes, spelled like that).
544 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
545 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
548 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
549 changes in latest Class::MOP.
551 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
553 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
554 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
555 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
556 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
557 instead. Reported by doy.
559 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
561 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
562 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
564 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
565 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
566 message) is now deprecated.
567 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
568 often got it wrong. For example:
570 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
572 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
576 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
577 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
578 bite you in weird cases.
580 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
581 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
582 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
585 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
586 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
590 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
593 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
594 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
597 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
598 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
600 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
601 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
604 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
605 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
606 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
607 - added tests for this (stevan)
609 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
610 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
611 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
612 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
616 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
617 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
618 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
619 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
621 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
622 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
623 - added tests for this (rafl)
625 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
626 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
627 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
628 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
632 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
633 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
636 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
637 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
638 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
640 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
642 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
643 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
646 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
647 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
648 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
649 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
651 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
652 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
653 error message did not specify the attribute name
656 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
658 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
660 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
661 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
662 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
664 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
665 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
668 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
670 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
671 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
672 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
673 of fixes and formatting improvements.
675 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
677 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
678 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
679 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
680 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
682 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
683 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
684 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
686 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
687 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
688 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
689 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
690 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
692 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
693 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
694 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
695 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
696 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
698 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
699 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
700 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
701 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
702 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
703 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
705 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
706 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
707 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
708 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
709 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
710 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
712 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
713 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
715 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
716 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
717 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
718 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
720 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
721 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
724 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
728 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
729 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
731 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
732 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
733 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
736 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
737 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
738 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
741 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
742 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
743 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
746 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
749 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
750 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
752 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
754 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
757 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
758 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
759 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
760 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
761 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
762 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
764 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
765 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
766 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
767 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
768 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
769 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
770 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
771 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
772 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
773 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
775 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
777 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
778 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
780 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
781 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
782 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
783 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
785 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
786 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
787 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
788 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
789 same methods for a single role did not work
790 right (worked just fine with multiple
792 - added test for this (stevan)
794 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
795 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
796 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
799 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
800 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
801 - added test for this (t0m)
804 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
805 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
806 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
808 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
809 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
810 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
811 - added test for this (t0m)
813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
814 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
815 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
816 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
817 - added test for this (perigrin)
820 - create method for constructing a role
822 - added test for this (Sartak)
823 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
824 - added test for this (Sartak)
827 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
829 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
830 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
831 methods is useful (Sartak)
833 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
834 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
835 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
839 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
840 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
841 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
842 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
843 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
844 - added tests for this (jdv79)
847 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
848 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
850 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
851 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
852 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
853 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
854 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
856 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
858 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
859 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
860 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
863 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
864 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
865 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
866 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
867 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
868 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
871 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
872 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
873 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
874 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
875 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
876 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
877 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
878 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
879 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
880 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
881 future. (jnapiorkowski)
883 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
884 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
887 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
888 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
889 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
890 type. (jnapiorkowski)
891 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
893 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
895 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
896 predicate, and link to more details sections in
897 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
899 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
900 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
902 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
903 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
904 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
905 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
908 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
909 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
911 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
913 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
914 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
917 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
918 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
921 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
922 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
923 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
924 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
926 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
927 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
929 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
930 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
931 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
932 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
933 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
934 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
935 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
936 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
938 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
939 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
940 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
942 * Roles and role application
943 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
944 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
945 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
946 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
947 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
949 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
950 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
953 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
954 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
955 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
956 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
957 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
960 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
961 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
962 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
963 changes in the Moose internals.
965 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
966 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
967 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
970 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
971 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
972 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
973 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
975 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
976 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
977 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
978 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
980 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
981 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
982 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
983 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
984 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
985 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
986 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
987 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
988 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
989 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
990 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
991 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
992 constraint implementations.
994 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
998 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
999 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1000 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1001 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1002 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1003 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 - added tests for this (rafl)
1006 * Moose::Meta::Class
1007 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1008 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1009 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1010 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1011 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1012 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1013 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1014 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1017 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1018 - added tests for this (thepler)
1020 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1021 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1022 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1023 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1026 * Moose::Meta::Class
1027 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1028 * Moose::Meta::Method
1031 * Moose::Error::Default
1032 * Moose::Error::Croak
1033 * Moose::Error::Confess
1034 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1035 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1036 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1037 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1038 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1039 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1041 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1043 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1044 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1046 * Moose::Unsweetened
1047 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1048 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1049 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1051 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1052 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1053 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1054 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1055 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1058 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1059 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1061 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1062 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1063 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1064 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1067 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1069 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1070 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1072 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1075 - Various bug fixes.
1077 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1078 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1080 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1082 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1083 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1084 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1085 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1086 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1087 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1089 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1090 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1091 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1093 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1094 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1095 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1098 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1099 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1100 dependency to 0.64_07.
1102 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1103 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1104 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1106 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1107 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1110 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1111 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1112 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1113 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1114 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1115 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1117 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1118 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1120 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1122 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1123 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1127 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1128 method when that method was provided by another role being
1129 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1130 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1132 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1134 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1135 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1137 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1138 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1139 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1140 - added test for this (t0m)
1142 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1143 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1144 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1146 - added test for this (t0m)
1149 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1150 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1151 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1154 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1155 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1157 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1159 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1160 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1162 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1163 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1164 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1166 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1167 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1170 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1171 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1172 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1173 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1177 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1178 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1179 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1182 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1183 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1184 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1185 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1188 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1192 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1193 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1194 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1196 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1198 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1199 created so that the process can be more easily
1200 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1202 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1203 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1204 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1205 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1207 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1208 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1211 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1212 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1214 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1215 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1216 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1218 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1219 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1220 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1222 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1223 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1225 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1226 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1229 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1230 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1234 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1235 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1237 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1238 ... this is not my day today ...
1240 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1241 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1242 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1243 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1244 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1247 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1248 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1249 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1250 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1251 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1254 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1256 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1257 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1258 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1259 this is not ever something you want to do
1260 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1261 - added tests for this (stevan)
1264 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1266 - added test for this
1268 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1269 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1270 - added tests for this (wreis)
1272 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1273 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1274 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1275 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1277 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1278 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1279 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1282 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1284 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1286 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1289 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1290 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1291 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1292 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1293 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1294 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1295 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1296 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1297 - added tests for this
1299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1300 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1301 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1302 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1304 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1306 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1307 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1308 - added tests for this (sartak)
1309 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1310 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1313 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1315 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1316 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1318 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1319 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1320 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1321 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1323 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1325 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1326 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1329 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1330 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1331 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1334 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1335 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1337 - added docs for this (TODO).
1338 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1339 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1340 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1341 - fix builder and default both being used
1346 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1348 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1349 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1350 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1354 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1358 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1359 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1360 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1362 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1363 - move the ClassName type check code to
1364 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1366 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1367 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1369 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1370 (early morning release engineering)--

1382 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1383 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1385 * Moose::Meta::Class
1386 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1387 since it is called so often by &meta

1392 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1395 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor

1397 method for immutablization to check if the
1398 destructor object even needs to be created

1402 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1403 - added more descriptive error message to help
1404 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1405 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1407 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1409 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1410 XS based functionality is now optional
1411 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1412 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1413 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1415 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1416 to take care of this, mostly we added
1417 support for the package_name and name
1418 variables in all the Method metaclasses

1420 support regexp matching of names
1421 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1423 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1424 is currently not supported in roles,
1425 but, ... patches welcome
1426 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1427 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1428 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1431 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1432 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1433 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1434 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1435 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1436 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1437 - added test for this
1439 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1440 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1441 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1444 * Moose::Meta::Class

1449 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1451 - added tests for this

1461 called by the inlined immutable
1463 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1465 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance

1483 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1486 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1487 ->body when looping through the
1488 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1490 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1491 eating the $@ values, and so not
1492 working correctly, it still kind of
1493 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1494 - added tests for this
1496 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1497 - added new recipe for immutable
1498 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1516 drink more coffee before
1517 doing release engineering
1519 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1520 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1521 modules. This fixes that.

1524 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1525 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1527 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55

1634 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1636 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1637 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1680 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1681 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1843 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1844 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

1973 - fixed how required methods are handled
1974 when they encounter overriden or modified
1975 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1976 - added tests for this
1978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1979 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1980 the | always creates a union and so is
1981 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1982 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1984 - added more tests for this
1986 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1989 * Parameterized Types
1990 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1991 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1992 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1993 They can also be nested:
1994 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1995 And work with the type unions as well:
1996 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1998 * Better Framework Extendability
1999 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2000 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2001 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2002 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2005 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2006 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2007 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2008 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2011 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2013 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2167 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2168 prototypes for functions
2169 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2170 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2180 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2183 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2184 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2185 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2186 - added tests for this
2188 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2190 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2212 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2214 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007

2216 so this release is just to fix that.
2219 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2220 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2221 (thanks to konobi for this)

2233 functions to facilitate introspection.
2235 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2239 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2241 - added tests and docs for this
2242 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2243 so that you can actually document your
2244 attributes and inspect them through the
2246 - added tests and docs for this
2248 * Moose::Meta::Class
2249 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2250 it will first look in for the class in the
2251 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2252 then default to just loading $name.
2253 - added tests and docs for this
2255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2256 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2257 - added test for this
2260 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2261 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2262 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2263 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2265 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2266 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2269 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2271 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2272 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2273 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2276 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2277 !! for this developer release to work !!
2279 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2280 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2281 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2282 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2283 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2284 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2285 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2286 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2287 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2288 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2289 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2291 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2292 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2293 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2294 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2297 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2298 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2299 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2300 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2301 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2303 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2305 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2306 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2309 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2310 called unless they actually need to be.
2311 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2312 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2313 DEMOLISH method present.
2315 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2316 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2317 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2318 type constraint, which allows for a
2319 hand optimized version of the type
2320 constraint to be used when possible.
2321 - Any internally created type constraints
2322 now provide an optimized version as well.
2324 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2326 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2327 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2328 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2330 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2331 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2332 your class namespace of these exported
2335 * Moose::Meta::Class
2336 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2337 comes up during global destruction
2339 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2343 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2347 - changed how we do type checks so that
2348 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2351 - moved accessor generation methods to
2352 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2353 conform to the API changes from
2356 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2357 - changed how constraints are compiled
2358 so that we do less recursion and more
2359 iteration. This makes the type check
2361 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2364 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2365 - created this from methods formerly found in
2366 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2368 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2369 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2371 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2372 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

2379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2380 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2381 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2382 - added tests for this
2383 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2384 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2385 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2386 - removed tests for this
2388 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2390 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2391 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2392 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2395 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2396 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2397 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2399 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2400 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2401 comments for more info.
2404 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2405 asked questions and common problems
2407 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2408 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2409 - added tests for this
2411 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2412 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2413 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2414 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2416 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2417 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2420 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2421 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2422 is much appreciated :)
2423 - added tests for this
2425 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2426 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2427 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2430 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2431 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2433 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2435 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2436 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2440 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2441 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2442 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2444 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2446 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2449 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2450 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2451 keywords because we need to localize them.
2452 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2454 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2455 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2456 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2459 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2462 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2463 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2464 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2467 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2468 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2469 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2471 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2473 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2474 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2475 bottom of your class file.
2478 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2481 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2483 - improved error message when loading modules so
2484 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2485 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2486 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2489 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2490 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2491 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2494 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2496 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2497 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2498 turn them on for you.
2499 - added tests for this

2528 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2529 - This release works in combination with
2530 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2531 release because it uses the a new
2532 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2533 complete Role implementation. It has
2534 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2535 the the previous CPAN version. This
2536 release also lacks good updated docs,
2537 the official release will have updated docs.
2540 - refactored the keyword exports
2541 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2542 accepts more than one Role at a time

2555 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2558 - more careful checking of params to new()
2561 - much work done on the role composition
2562 - many new tests for conflict detection
2563 and composition edge cases
2564 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2565 looking at the tests
2567 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2568 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2569 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2590 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2591 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2592 on a per-attribute basis
2593 - added tests for this
2594 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2595 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
