1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
13 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
14 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
18 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
20 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
24 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
25 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
29 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
30 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
34 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
40 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
41 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
45 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
46 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
50 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
51 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
53 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
57 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
58 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
59 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
66 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
67 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
68 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
69 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
75 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
76 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
77 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
81 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
88 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
89 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
90 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
94 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
95 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
97 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
98 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
99 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
100 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
102 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
106 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
110 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
111 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
113 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
114 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
115 - Moose::Util::does_role
116 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
117 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
118 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
120 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
124 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
125 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
126 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
129 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
133 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
134 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
137 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
141 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
142 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
145 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
149 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
151 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
152 class. (Dave Rolsky).
154 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
155 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
156 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
158 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
159 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
160 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
163 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
164 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
166 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
167 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
168 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
170 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
172 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
173 substr et al, again. (sorear)
175 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
177 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
180 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
181 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
183 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
184 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
186 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
187 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
188 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
189 dependencies installed.
191 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
192 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
195 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
197 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
201 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
203 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
204 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
205 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
207 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
208 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
209 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
211 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
212 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
215 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
216 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
217 others. (nothingmuch)
219 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
220 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
221 remove_accessors. (doy)
223 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
224 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
225 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
227 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
228 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
230 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
231 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
232 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
233 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
236 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
237 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
240 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
242 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
244 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
245 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
248 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
249 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
250 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
251 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
252 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
254 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
257 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
258 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
259 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
260 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
263 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
264 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
265 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
266 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
267 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
269 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
270 which were not receiving the value of
271 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
272 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
273 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
274 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
278 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
279 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
280 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
281 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
282 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
285 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
286 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
287 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
288 - added tests for this (Stevan)
291 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
292 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
293 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
296 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
298 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
300 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
301 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
302 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
305 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
306 class if you pass it options for
307 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
308 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
309 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
310 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
311 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
312 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
313 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
314 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
315 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
317 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
318 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
319 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
320 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
321 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
324 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
325 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
326 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
327 existing delegation API. (hdp)
329 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
330 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
331 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
332 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
333 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
334 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
337 * Moose::Error::Croak
338 * Moose::Error::Confess
339 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
340 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
343 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
346 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
347 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
348 installing a broken sub. (doy)
351 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
354 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
355 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
356 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
358 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
359 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
360 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
361 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
362 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
364 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
365 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
368 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
370 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
371 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
374 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
375 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
377 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
378 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
379 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
380 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
382 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
383 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
384 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
385 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
386 using it for new code!
388 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
389 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
390 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
391 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
393 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
394 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
395 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
396 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
397 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
398 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
399 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
400 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
403 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
406 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
407 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
411 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
413 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
414 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
415 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
418 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
419 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
420 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
423 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
424 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
426 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
427 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
428 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
431 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
432 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
433 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
434 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
435 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
436 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
438 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
440 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
444 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
445 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
447 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
448 associated_methods. (hdp)
449 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
450 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
451 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
452 misspelled) arguments
454 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
455 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
456 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
457 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
459 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
460 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
461 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
463 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
466 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
467 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
468 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
471 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
472 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
474 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
476 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
477 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
479 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
480 * Moose::Manual::Types
481 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
482 string parsing rathole (mst)
484 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
485 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
486 using plain objects instead
488 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
489 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
492 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
494 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
495 three times today (perigrin)
496 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
497 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
499 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
500 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
501 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
502 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
505 - A role's required methods are now represented by
506 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
507 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
508 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
509 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
510 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
513 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
514 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
515 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
516 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
519 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
521 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
524 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
526 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
529 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
530 during global destruction. This method has been made more
531 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
535 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
536 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
539 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
540 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
542 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
543 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
544 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
547 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
549 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
550 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
553 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
557 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
558 methods during global destruction (doy)
561 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
562 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
566 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
567 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
570 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
571 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
574 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
575 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
577 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
579 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
583 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
584 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
585 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
588 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
589 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
590 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
593 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
595 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
596 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
597 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
600 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
601 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
602 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
603 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
605 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
606 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
607 of the Moose core (Sartak)
610 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
613 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
614 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
615 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
619 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
620 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
623 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
625 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
628 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
629 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
632 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
633 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
636 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
637 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
640 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
643 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
645 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
646 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
650 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
652 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
653 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
656 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
657 * More deprecations and renamings
658 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
659 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
660 when an object is constructed)
663 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
664 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
665 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
667 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
668 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
669 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
670 feature, and it works again.
673 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
675 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
677 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
678 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
679 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
681 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
682 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
683 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
684 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
685 message. Test provided by perigrin.
687 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
688 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
689 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
690 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
691 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
694 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
695 metaclass object. (hdp)
697 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
698 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
699 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
700 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
701 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
702 point out this fact. (hdp)
704 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
705 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
707 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
708 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
711 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
712 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
713 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
714 called during instance construction were passed the
715 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
716 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
718 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
719 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
722 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
723 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
724 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
727 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
728 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
729 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
730 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
731 them, but they are not for "public" use.
734 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
736 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
737 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
738 when an object is constructed)
739 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
741 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
742 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
743 when an object is constructed)
744 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
745 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
746 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
749 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
751 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
752 * No changes from 0.72_01.
754 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
756 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
757 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
758 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
760 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
761 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
762 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
764 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
766 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
767 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
769 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
770 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
773 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
774 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
777 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
778 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
779 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
781 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
782 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
786 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
787 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
788 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
790 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
791 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
794 * Moose::Manual::Delta
795 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
796 with recommended workarounds.
798 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
799 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
801 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
802 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
803 (yes, spelled like that).
805 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
806 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
809 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
810 changes in latest Class::MOP.
812 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
814 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
815 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
816 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
817 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
818 instead. Reported by doy.
820 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
822 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
823 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
825 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
826 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
827 message) is now deprecated.
828 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
829 often got it wrong. For example:
831 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
833 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
837 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
838 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
839 bite you in weird cases.
841 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
842 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
843 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
846 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
847 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
851 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
854 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
855 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
858 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
859 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
862 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
865 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
866 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
867 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
868 - added tests for this (stevan)
870 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
871 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
872 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
873 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
877 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
878 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
879 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
880 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
882 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
883 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
884 - added tests for this (rafl)
886 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
887 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
888 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
889 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
893 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
894 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
897 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
898 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
899 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
901 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
903 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
904 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
907 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
908 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
909 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
910 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
912 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
913 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
914 error message did not specify the attribute name
917 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
919 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
921 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
922 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
923 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
925 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
926 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
929 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
931 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
932 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
933 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
934 of fixes and formatting improvements.
936 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
938 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
939 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
940 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
941 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
943 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
944 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
945 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
947 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
948 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
949 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
950 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
951 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
953 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
954 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
955 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
956 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
957 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
959 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
960 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
961 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
962 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
963 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
964 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
966 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
967 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
968 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
969 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
970 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
971 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
973 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
974 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
976 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
977 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
978 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
979 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
981 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
982 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
985 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
989 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
990 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
992 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
993 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
994 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
997 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
998 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
999 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1002 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1003 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1004 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1006 * Moose::Meta::Class
1007 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1010 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1011 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1013 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1014 * Moose::Unsweetened
1015 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1018 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1019 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1020 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1021 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1022 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1023 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1025 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1026 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1027 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1028 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1029 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1030 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1031 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1032 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1033 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1034 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1036 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1038 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1039 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1041 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1042 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1043 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1044 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1046 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1047 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1048 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1049 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1050 same methods for a single role did not work
1051 right (worked just fine with multiple
1053 - added test for this (stevan)
1055 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1056 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1057 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1060 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1061 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1062 - added test for this (t0m)
1065 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1066 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1067 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1069 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1070 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1071 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1072 - added test for this (t0m)
1074 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1075 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1076 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1077 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1078 - added test for this (perigrin)
1081 - create method for constructing a role
1082 dynamically (Sartak)
1083 - added test for this (Sartak)
1084 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1085 - added test for this (Sartak)
1088 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1090 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1091 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1092 methods is useful (Sartak)
1094 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1095 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1096 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1099 * Moose::Meta::Class
1100 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1101 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1102 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1103 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1104 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1105 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1108 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1109 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1111 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1112 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1113 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1114 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1115 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1117 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1119 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1120 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1121 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1124 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1125 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1126 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1127 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1128 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1129 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1132 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1133 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1134 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1135 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1136 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1137 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1138 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1139 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1140 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1141 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1142 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1145 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1148 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1149 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1150 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1151 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1152 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1154 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1156 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1157 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1158 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1160 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1161 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1163 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1164 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1165 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1166 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1169 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1170 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1172 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1174 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1175 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1177 * Moose::Meta::Class
1178 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1179 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1180 a required attribute
1182 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1183 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1184 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1185 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1187 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1188 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1191 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1192 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1193 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1194 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1195 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1196 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1197 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1199 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1200 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1201 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1203 * Roles and role application
1204 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1205 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1206 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1207 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1208 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1210 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1211 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1214 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1215 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1216 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1217 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1218 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1221 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1222 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1223 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1224 changes in the Moose internals.
1226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1227 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1228 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1231 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1232 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1233 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1234 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1236 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1237 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1238 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1239 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1241 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1242 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1243 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1244 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1245 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1246 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1247 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1248 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1249 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1250 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1251 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1252 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1253 constraint implementations.
1255 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1259 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1260 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1261 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1262 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1263 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1264 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1265 - added tests for this (rafl)
1267 * Moose::Meta::Class
1268 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1269 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1270 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1271 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1272 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1273 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1274 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1275 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1278 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1279 - added tests for this (thepler)
1281 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1282 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1283 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1284 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1287 * Moose::Meta::Class
1288 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1289 * Moose::Meta::Method
1292 * Moose::Error::Default
1293 * Moose::Error::Croak
1294 * Moose::Error::Confess
1295 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1296 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1297 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1298 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1299 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1300 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1302 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1304 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1305 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1307 * Moose::Unsweetened
1308 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1309 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1310 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1312 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1313 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1314 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1315 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1316 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1319 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1320 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1322 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1323 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1324 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1325 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1328 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1330 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1331 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1333 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1336 - Various bug fixes.
1338 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1339 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1341 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1343 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1344 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1345 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1346 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1347 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1348 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1350 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1351 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1352 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1354 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1355 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1356 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1359 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1360 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1361 dependency to 0.64_07.
1363 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1364 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1365 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1367 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1499 ... this is not my day today ...
1501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1502 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1503 clone_and_inherit options still works for

1505 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1508 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1509 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1510 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

1515 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1517 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1518 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1551 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1552 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1553 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1554 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1555 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1556 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1557 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1558 - added tests for this
1560 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1561 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2069 - added this module (see above)
2071 * Moose::Meta::Class
2072 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called

2090 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2092 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2093 - added this module to support the refactor
2094 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2096 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2097 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2098 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2102 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2104 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2105 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2106 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2108 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2128 - added tests for this
2130 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2131 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need

2141 having to do it all in one place
2142 - added tests for this
2144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2145 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2146 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2149 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2150 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2151 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2152 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2156 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2158 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2166 - added docs for this
2168 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2169 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2170 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2171 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2172 instead it will just return undef.
2173 - added docs for this

2187 with work correctly.
2188 - added tests for this
2191 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2192 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2195 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2196 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2197 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2199 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2231 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2234 - fixed how required methods are handled
2235 when they encounter overriden or modified
2236 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2237 - added tests for this
2239 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2240 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2241 the | always creates a union and so is
2242 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2243 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2245 - added more tests for this
2247 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2250 * Parameterized Types
2251 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2252 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2253 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2254 They can also be nested:
2255 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2256 And work with the type unions as well:
2257 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2259 * Better Framework Extendability
2260 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2261 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2262 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2263 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2266 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2267 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2268 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2269 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2272 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2274 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2275 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2278 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2306 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2308 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2309 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2310 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2311 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2313 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2314 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2315 - updated the accompanying test as well
2317 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2318 +++ with new features added as well +++
2320 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2321 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2322 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of

2324 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2326 - added tests for this
2328 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2329 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2330 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2331 can track where the type constraints are created

2334 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2335 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2337 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2338 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2339 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2340 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2354 (thanks to shlomif).
2356 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2357 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2358 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2362 - added tests for this
2364 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2365 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2366 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

2407 (but not changing the handles option)
2408 - added tests and docs for this
2411 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2412 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2413 - adjusted tests for this
2415 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2417 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2426 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2427 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2428 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2429 prototypes for functions
2430 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2431 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2441 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2444 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2445 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2446 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2447 - added tests for this
2449 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2451 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2469 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2470 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2472 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2473 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2475 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2476 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2477 so this release is just to fix that.
2480 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2481 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2482 (thanks to konobi for this)
2483 - added tests and docs
2485 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2486 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2488 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2489 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2490 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2491 - added tests for this
2492 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2493 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2494 functions to facilitate introspection.
2496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2497 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2498 to build the list of delegated methods
2499 correctly (and not override important
2500 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2502 - added tests and docs for this
2503 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2504 so that you can actually document your
2505 attributes and inspect them through the
2507 - added tests and docs for this
2509 * Moose::Meta::Class
2510 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2511 it will first look in for the class in the
2512 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2513 then default to just loading $name.
2514 - added tests and docs for this
2516 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2517 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2518 - added test for this
2521 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2522 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2523 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2524 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2526 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2527 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2530 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2532 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2533 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2534 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2537 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2538 !! for this developer release to work !!
2540 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2541 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2542 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2543 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2544 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2545 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2546 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2547 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2548 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2549 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2550 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2552 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2553 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2554 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2555 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2558 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2559 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2560 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2561 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2562 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2564 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2566 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2567 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2570 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2571 called unless they actually need to be.
2572 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2573 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2574 DEMOLISH method present.
2576 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2577 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2578 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2579 type constraint, which allows for a
2580 hand optimized version of the type
2581 constraint to be used when possible.
2582 - Any internally created type constraints
2583 now provide an optimized version as well.
2585 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2587 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2588 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2589 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2591 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2592 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2593 your class namespace of these exported
2596 * Moose::Meta::Class
2597 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2598 comes up during global destruction
2600 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2604 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2607 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2608 - changed how we do type checks so that
2609 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2612 - moved accessor generation methods to
2613 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2614 conform to the API changes from
2617 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2618 - changed how constraints are compiled
2619 so that we do less recursion and more
2620 iteration. This makes the type check
2622 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2625 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2626 - created this from methods formerly found in
2627 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2629 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2630 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2632 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2633 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2636 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2638 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2640 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2641 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2642 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2643 - added tests for this
2644 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2645 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2646 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2647 - removed tests for this
2649 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2651 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2652 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2653 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2656 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2657 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2658 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2660 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2661 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2662 comments for more info.
2665 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2666 asked questions and common problems
2668 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2669 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2670 - added tests for this
2672 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2673 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2674 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2675 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2677 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2678 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2681 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2682 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2683 is much appreciated :)
2684 - added tests for this
2686 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2687 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2688 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2691 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2692 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2694 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2696 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2697 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2701 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2702 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2703 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2705 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2707 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2710 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2711 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2712 keywords because we need to localize them.
2713 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2715 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2716 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2717 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2720 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2723 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2724 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2725 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2728 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2729 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2730 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2732 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2734 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2735 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2736 bottom of your class file.
2739 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2742 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2744 - improved error message when loading modules so
2745 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2746 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2747 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2750 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2751 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2752 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2755 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2757 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2758 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2759 turn them on for you.
2760 - added tests for this
2761 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2762 in Moose::Meta::Class
2765 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2766 automatically turned on for you.
2767 - added tests for this
2770 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2771 - added tests for this
2772 - added some more edge case tests

2789 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2790 - This release works in combination with
2791 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2792 release because it uses the a new
2793 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2794 complete Role implementation. It has
2795 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2796 the the previous CPAN version. This
2797 release also lacks good updated docs,
2798 the official release will have updated docs.
2801 - refactored the keyword exports
2802 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2803 accepts more than one Role at a time
2804 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2805 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2808 - refactored the keyword exports
2809 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2810 accepts more than one Role at a time
2812 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2813 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2814 string enumerations which can be used as
2816 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2819 - more careful checking of params to new()
2822 - much work done on the role composition
2823 - many new tests for conflict detection
2824 and composition edge cases
2825 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2826 looking at the tests
2828 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2829 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2830 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2832 * Moose::Meta::Class
2833 - some small changes to support the new
2835 - some small additions to support Roles
2837 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2838 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2840 - some small changes to support the new
2842 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2843 with the 'handles' option
2844 - added several tests for this
2845 - no docs for this yet

2849 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2850 thanks to chansen for this commit
2851 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2852 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2853 on a per-attribute basis
2854 - added tests for this
2855 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2856 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2857 experimental feature and probably not finished
