1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
9 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
10 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
12 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
16 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
17 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
18 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
20 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
21 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
24 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
25 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
28 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
29 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
30 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
32 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
33 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
38 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
39 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
40 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
43 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
44 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
46 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
47 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
49 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
50 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
51 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
54 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
55 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
56 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
59 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
60 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
61 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
62 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
64 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
65 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
68 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
69 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
76 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
77 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
78 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
80 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
81 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
82 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
85 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
86 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
87 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
89 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
90 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
91 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
93 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
94 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
98 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
99 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
100 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
102 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
103 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
104 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
105 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
107 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
111 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
112 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
113 value is a reference.
115 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
116 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
118 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
122 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
123 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
124 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
126 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
130 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
131 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
135 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
136 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
137 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
139 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
140 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
141 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
143 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
147 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
149 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
153 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
155 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
156 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
161 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
162 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
164 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
165 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
166 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
167 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
168 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
170 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
171 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
172 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
173 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
175 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
179 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
180 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
185 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
187 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
189 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
194 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
196 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
200 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
201 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
202 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
204 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
205 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
206 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
207 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
209 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
210 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
211 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
212 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
213 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
216 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
221 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
222 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
223 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
224 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
225 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
228 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
232 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
235 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
236 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
240 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
241 function (not just method). (doy)
245 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
246 and aren't easily installable/testable.
248 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
252 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
253 to be overridden more easily (doy).
255 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
259 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
260 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
262 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
266 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
267 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
268 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
270 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
274 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
275 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
276 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
278 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
279 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
283 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
284 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
286 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
287 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
291 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
292 is applied to a class (t0m).
294 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
295 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
297 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
300 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
301 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
303 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
304 be much more robust. (doy)
306 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
308 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
311 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
315 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
316 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
318 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
322 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
323 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
325 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
328 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
329 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
330 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
332 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
333 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
334 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
337 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
339 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
343 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
344 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
348 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
350 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
354 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
355 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
359 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
360 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
364 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
366 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
370 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
371 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
375 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
376 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
380 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
381 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
383 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
387 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
388 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
389 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
392 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
396 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
397 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
398 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
399 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
401 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
405 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
406 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
407 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
411 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
414 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
418 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
419 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
420 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
424 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
425 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
427 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
428 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
429 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
430 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
432 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
436 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
440 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
441 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
443 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
444 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
445 - Moose::Util::does_role
446 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
447 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
448 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
450 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
454 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
455 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
456 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
459 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
463 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
464 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
467 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
471 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
472 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
475 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
479 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
481 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
482 class. (Dave Rolsky).
484 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
485 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
486 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
488 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
489 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
490 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
493 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
494 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
496 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
497 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
498 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
500 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
502 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
503 substr et al, again. (sorear)
505 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
507 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
510 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
511 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
513 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
514 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
516 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
517 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
518 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
519 dependencies installed.
521 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
522 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
525 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
527 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
531 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
533 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
534 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
535 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
537 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
538 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
539 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
541 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
542 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
545 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
546 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
547 others. (nothingmuch)
549 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
550 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
551 remove_accessors. (doy)
553 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
554 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
555 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
557 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
558 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
560 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
561 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
562 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
563 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
566 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
567 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
570 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
572 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
574 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
575 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
578 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
579 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
580 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
581 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
582 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
584 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
585 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
586 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
587 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
588 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
589 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
590 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
593 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
594 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
595 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
596 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
597 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
599 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
600 which were not receiving the value of
601 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
602 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
603 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
604 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
608 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
609 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
610 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
611 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
612 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
615 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
616 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
617 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
618 - added tests for this (Stevan)
621 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
622 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
623 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
626 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
627 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
628 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
631 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
632 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
635 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
636 class if you pass it options for
637 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
638 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
639 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
640 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
641 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
642 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
643 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
644 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
645 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
647 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
648 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
649 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
650 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
651 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
654 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
655 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
656 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
657 existing delegation API. (hdp)
659 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
660 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
661 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
662 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
663 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
664 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
667 * Moose::Error::Croak
668 * Moose::Error::Confess
669 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
670 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
673 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
676 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
677 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
678 installing a broken sub. (doy)
681 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
684 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
685 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
686 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
688 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
689 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
690 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
691 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
692 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
694 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
695 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
698 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
700 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
701 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
704 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
705 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
707 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
708 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
709 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
710 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
712 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
713 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
714 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
715 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
716 using it for new code!
718 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
719 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
720 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
721 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
723 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
724 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
725 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
726 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
727 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
728 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
729 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
730 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
733 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
736 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
737 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
741 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
743 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
744 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
745 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
749 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
750 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
753 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
754 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
756 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
757 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
758 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
761 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
762 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
763 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
764 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
765 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
766 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
768 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
770 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
773 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
774 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
775 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
777 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
778 associated_methods. (hdp)
779 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
780 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
781 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
782 misspelled) arguments
784 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
785 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
786 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
787 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
789 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
790 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
791 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
793 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
796 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
797 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
798 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
801 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
802 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
804 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
806 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
807 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
809 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
810 * Moose::Manual::Types
811 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
812 string parsing rathole (mst)
814 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
815 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
816 using plain objects instead
818 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
819 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
822 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
824 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
825 three times today (perigrin)
826 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
827 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
829 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
830 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
831 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
832 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
835 - A role's required methods are now represented by
836 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
837 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
838 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
839 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
840 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
843 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
844 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
845 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
846 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
849 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
851 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
854 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
856 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
859 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
860 during global destruction. This method has been made more
861 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
865 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
866 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
869 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
870 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
872 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
873 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
874 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
877 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
879 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
880 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
883 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
887 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
888 methods during global destruction (doy)
891 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
892 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
896 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
897 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
900 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
901 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
904 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
905 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
907 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
909 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
913 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
914 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
915 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
918 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
919 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
920 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
923 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
925 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
926 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
927 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
930 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
931 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
932 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
933 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
935 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
936 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
937 of the Moose core (Sartak)
940 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
943 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
944 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
945 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
949 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
950 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
953 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
955 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
958 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
959 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
962 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
963 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
966 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
967 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
970 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
973 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
975 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
976 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
980 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
982 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
983 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
986 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
987 * More deprecations and renamings
988 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
989 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
990 when an object is constructed)
993 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
994 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
995 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
997 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
998 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
999 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1000 feature, and it works again.
1003 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1005 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1007 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1008 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1009 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1011 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1012 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1013 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1014 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1015 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1017 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1018 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1019 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1020 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1021 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1024 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1025 metaclass object. (hdp)
1027 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1028 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1029 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1030 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1031 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1032 point out this fact. (hdp)
1034 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1035 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1037 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1038 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1040 * Moose::Meta::Class
1041 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1042 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1043 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1044 called during instance construction were passed the
1045 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1046 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1048 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1049 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1052 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1053 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1054 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1057 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1058 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1059 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1060 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1061 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1063 - Moose::Meta::Class
1064 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1066 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1067 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1068 when an object is constructed)
1069 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1071 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1072 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1073 when an object is constructed)
1074 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1075 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1076 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1079 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1081 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1082 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1084 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1086 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1087 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1088 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1090 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1091 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1092 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1094 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1096 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1097 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1099 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1100 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1103 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1104 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1107 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1108 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1109 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1112 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1116 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1117 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1118 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1120 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1121 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1124 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1125 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1126 with recommended workarounds.
1128 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1129 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1131 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1132 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1133 (yes, spelled like that).
1135 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1136 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1138 * Moose::Meta::Class
1139 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1140 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1142 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1144 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1145 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1146 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1147 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1148 instead. Reported by doy.
1150 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1152 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1153 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1155 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1156 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1157 message) is now deprecated.
1158 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1159 often got it wrong. For example:
1161 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1163 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1167 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1168 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1169 bite you in weird cases.
1171 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1172 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1173 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1174 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1176 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1177 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1181 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1184 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1185 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1188 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1189 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1191 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1192 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1195 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1197 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1198 - added tests for this (stevan)
1200 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1201 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1202 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1203 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1207 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1208 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1209 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1210 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1212 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1213 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1214 - added tests for this (rafl)
1216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1217 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1218 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1219 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1223 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1224 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1227 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1228 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1229 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1231 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1233 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1234 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1236 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1237 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1238 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1239 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1240 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1243 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1244 error message did not specify the attribute name
1247 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1249 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1251 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1252 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1253 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1255 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1256 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1259 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1261 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1262 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1263 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1264 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1266 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1268 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1269 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1270 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1271 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1273 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1274 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1275 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1277 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1278 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1279 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1280 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1281 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1283 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1284 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1285 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1286 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1287 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1289 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1290 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1291 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1292 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1293 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1294 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1296 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1297 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1298 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1299 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1300 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1301 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1303 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1304 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1306 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1307 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1308 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1309 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1311 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1312 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1315 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1319 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1320 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1322 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1323 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1324 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1325 guts. (nothingmuch).
1327 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1328 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1329 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1331 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1332 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1333 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1334 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1336 * Moose::Meta::Class
1337 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1340 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1341 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1343 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1344 * Moose::Unsweetened
1345 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1348 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1349 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1350 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1351 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1352 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1353 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1355 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1356 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1357 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1358 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1359 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1360 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1361 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1362 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1363 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1364 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1366 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1368 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1369 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1372 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1373 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1374 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1376 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1377 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1378 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1379 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1380 same methods for a single role did not work
1381 right (worked just fine with multiple
1383 - added test for this (stevan)
1385 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1386 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1387 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1390 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1391 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1392 - added test for this (t0m)
1395 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1396 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1397 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1399 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1400 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1401 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1402 - added test for this (t0m)
1404 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1405 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1406 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1407 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1408 - added test for this (perigrin)
1411 - create method for constructing a role
1412 dynamically (Sartak)
1413 - added test for this (Sartak)
1414 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1415 - added test for this (Sartak)
1418 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1420 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1421 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1422 methods is useful (Sartak)
1424 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1425 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1426 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1429 * Moose::Meta::Class
1430 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1431 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1432 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1433 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1434 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1435 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1438 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1439 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1441 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1442 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1443 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1444 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1445 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1447 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1449 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1450 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1451 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1454 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1455 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1456 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1457 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1458 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1459 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1462 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1463 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1464 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1465 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1466 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1467 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1468 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1469 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1470 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1471 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1472 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1474 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1475 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1478 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1479 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1480 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1481 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1482 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1484 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1486 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1487 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1488 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1490 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1491 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1493 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1494 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1495 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1496 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1499 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1500 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1502 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1504 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1505 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1507 * Moose::Meta::Class
1508 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1509 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1510 a required attribute
1512 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1513 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1514 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1515 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1517 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1518 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1520 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1521 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1522 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1523 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1524 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1525 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1526 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1527 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1529 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1530 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1531 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1533 * Roles and role application
1534 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1535 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1536 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1537 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1538 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1540 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1541 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1544 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1545 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1546 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1547 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1548 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1551 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1552 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1553 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1554 changes in the Moose internals.
1556 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1557 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1558 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1561 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1562 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1563 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1564 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1566 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1567 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1568 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1569 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1571 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1572 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1573 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1574 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1575 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1576 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1577 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1578 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1579 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1580 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1581 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1582 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1583 constraint implementations.
1585 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1589 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1590 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1591 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1592 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1593 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1594 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1595 - added tests for this (rafl)
1597 * Moose::Meta::Class
1598 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1599 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1600 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1601 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1602 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1603 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1604 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1605 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1608 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1609 - added tests for this (thepler)
1611 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1612 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1613 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1614 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1617 * Moose::Meta::Class
1618 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1619 * Moose::Meta::Method
1622 * Moose::Error::Default
1623 * Moose::Error::Croak
1624 * Moose::Error::Confess
1625 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1626 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1627 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1628 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1629 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1630 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1632 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1634 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1635 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1637 * Moose::Unsweetened
1638 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1639 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1640 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1642 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1643 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1644 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1645 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1646 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1649 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1650 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1652 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1653 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1654 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1655 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1658 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1660 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1661 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1663 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1666 - Various bug fixes.
1668 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1669 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1671 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1673 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1674 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1675 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1676 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1677 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1678 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1680 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1681 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1682 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1684 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1685 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1686 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1689 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1690 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1691 dependency to 0.64_07.
1693 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1694 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1695 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1698 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1701 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1702 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1703 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1704 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1705 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1706 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1708 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1709 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1711 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1713 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1714 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1718 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1719 method when that method was provided by another role being
1720 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1721 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1723 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1725 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1726 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1728 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1729 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1730 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1731 - added test for this (t0m)
1733 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1734 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1735 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1737 - added test for this (t0m)
1740 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1741 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1742 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1745 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1746 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1748 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1750 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1751 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1753 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1754 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1755 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1757 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1758 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1761 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1762 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1763 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1764 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1768 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1769 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1770 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1773 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1774 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1775 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1776 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1779 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1783 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1784 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1785 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1787 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1789 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1790 created so that the process can be more easily
1791 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1793 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1794 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1795 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1796 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1798 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1799 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1802 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1803 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1805 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1806 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1807 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1809 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1810 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1811 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1813 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1814 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1816 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1817 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1820 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1821 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1825 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1826 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1828 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1829 ... this is not my day today ...
1831 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1832 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1833 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1834 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1835 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1838 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1839 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1840 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1841 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1842 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1845 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1847 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1848 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1849 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1850 this is not ever something you want to do
1851 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1852 - added tests for this (stevan)
1855 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1857 - added test for this
1859 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1860 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1861 - added tests for this (wreis)
1863 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1864 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1865 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1866 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1868 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1869 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1870 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1873 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1875 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1877 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1880 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1881 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1882 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1883 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1884 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1885 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1886 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1887 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1888 - added tests for this
1890 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1891 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1892 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1893 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1895 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1897 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1898 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1899 - added tests for this (sartak)
1900 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1901 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1904 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1906 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1907 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1909 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1910 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1911 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1912 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1914 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1916 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1917 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1920 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1924 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1925 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1926 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1928 - added docs for this (TODO).
1929 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1930 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1931 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1932 - fix builder and default both being used
1937 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1939 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1940 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1941 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1945 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1949 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1950 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1951 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1953 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1954 - move the ClassName type check code to
1955 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1957 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1958 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1960 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1961 (early morning release engineering)--
1963 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1964 which was causing the indexer to choke
1966 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1967 (late night release engineering)--
1969 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1970 changes in this release
1972 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1973 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1974 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1976 * Moose::Meta::Class
1977 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1978 since it is called so often by &meta
1980 * Moose::Meta::Class
1982 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1983 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1986 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1987 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1988 method for immutablization to check if the
1989 destructor object even needs to be created
1992 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1993 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1994 - added more descriptive error message to help
1995 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1996 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1998 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2000 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2001 XS based functionality is now optional
2002 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2003 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2004 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2006 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2007 to take care of this, mostly we added
2008 support for the package_name and name
2009 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2010 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2011 support regexp matching of names
2012 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2013 - tests added for this
2014 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2015 is currently not supported in roles,
2016 but, ... patches welcome
2017 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2018 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2019 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2022 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2023 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2024 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2025 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2026 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2027 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2028 - added test for this
2030 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2031 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2032 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2035 * Moose::Meta::Class
2036 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2040 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2042 - added tests for this
2043 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2044 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2046 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2047 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2048 themselves parameterizable types
2050 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2051 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2052 called by the inlined immutable
2054 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)

2107 drink more coffee before
2108 doing release engineering
2110 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2225 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2227 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2228 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2271 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2272 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2565 when they encounter overriden or modified
2566 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2567 - added tests for this
2569 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2570 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2571 the | always creates a union and so is

2573 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2575 - added more tests for this
2577 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2580 * Parameterized Types
2581 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2582 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2583 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2584 They can also be nested:
2585 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2586 And work with the type unions as well:
2587 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2589 * Better Framework Extendability
2590 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2591 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2592 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2593 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2596 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2597 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2598 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2599 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2741 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2742 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2743 - adjusted tests for this
2745 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2747 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
2748 * Moose::Meta::Class
2749 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
2750 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
2751 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2752 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2753 the other side (perigrin)
2755 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2756 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2757 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2758 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2759 prototypes for functions
2760 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2761 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2762 - added tests and docs for this
2763 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2764 default for where be { 1 }

2768 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2769 merlyn for finding this bug
2770 - tests added for this
2771 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2774 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2775 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2776 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2777 - added tests for this
2779 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2781 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2794 where not handled correctly in roles
2795 - added tests for this
2797 * Moose::Meta::Class
2798 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2799 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2800 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2802 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2803 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2805 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2806 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2807 so this release is just to fix that.
2810 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2811 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2812 (thanks to konobi for this)
2813 - added tests and docs
2815 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2818 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2819 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2820 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2821 - added tests for this
2822 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2823 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2824 functions to facilitate introspection.
2826 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2827 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2828 to build the list of delegated methods
2829 correctly (and not override important
2830 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2832 - added tests and docs for this
2833 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2834 so that you can actually document your
2835 attributes and inspect them through the
2837 - added tests and docs for this
2839 * Moose::Meta::Class
2840 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2841 it will first look in for the class in the
2842 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2843 then default to just loading $name.
2844 - added tests and docs for this
2846 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2847 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2848 - added test for this
2851 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2852 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2853 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2854 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2856 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2857 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2860 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2862 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2863 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2864 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2867 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2868 !! for this developer release to work !!
2870 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2871 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2872 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2873 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2874 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2875 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2876 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2877 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2878 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2879 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2880 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2882 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2883 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2884 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2885 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2888 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2889 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2890 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2891 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2892 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2894 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2896 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2897 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2900 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2901 called unless they actually need to be.
2902 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2903 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2904 DEMOLISH method present.
2906 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2907 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2908 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2909 type constraint, which allows for a
2910 hand optimized version of the type
2911 constraint to be used when possible.
2912 - Any internally created type constraints
2913 now provide an optimized version as well.
2915 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2917 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2918 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2919 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2921 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2922 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2923 your class namespace of these exported
2926 * Moose::Meta::Class
2927 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2928 comes up during global destruction
2930 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2934 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2937 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2938 - changed how we do type checks so that
2939 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2942 - moved accessor generation methods to
2943 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2944 conform to the API changes from
2947 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2948 - changed how constraints are compiled
2949 so that we do less recursion and more
2950 iteration. This makes the type check
2952 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2955 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2956 - created this from methods formerly found in
2957 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2959 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2960 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2962 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2963 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2965 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2966 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2968 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2970 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2971 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2972 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2973 - added tests for this
2974 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2975 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2976 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2977 - removed tests for this
2979 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2981 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2982 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2983 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2986 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2987 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2988 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2990 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2991 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2992 comments for more info.
2995 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2996 asked questions and common problems
2998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2999 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3000 - added tests for this
3002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3003 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3004 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3005 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3007 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3008 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3011 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3012 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3013 is much appreciated :)
3014 - added tests for this
3016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3017 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3018 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3022 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3024 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3026 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3027 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3031 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3032 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3033 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3035 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3037 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3040 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3041 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3042 keywords because we need to localize them.
3043 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3045 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3046 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3047 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3050 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3053 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3054 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3055 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3058 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3059 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3060 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3062 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3064 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3065 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3066 bottom of your class file.
3069 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3072 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3074 - improved error message when loading modules so
3075 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3076 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3077 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3080 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3081 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3082 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3084 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3085 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3087 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3088 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3089 turn them on for you.
3090 - added tests for this

3119 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3120 - This release works in combination with
3121 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3122 release because it uses the a new
3123 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3124 complete Role implementation. It has
3125 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3126 the the previous CPAN version. This
3127 release also lacks good updated docs,
3128 the official release will have updated docs.
3131 - refactored the keyword exports
3132 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3133 accepts more than one Role at a time

3139 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3140 accepts more than one Role at a time
3142 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3144 string enumerations which can be used as
3146 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3149 - more careful checking of params to new()
3152 - much work done on the role composition
3153 - many new tests for conflict detection
3154 and composition edge cases
3155 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3156 looking at the tests

3181 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3182 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3183 on a per-attribute basis
3184 - added tests for this
3185 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3186 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3187 experimental feature and probably not finished
