1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
9 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
10 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
11 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
16 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
17 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
18 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. (sartak)
20 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
21 the Object constraint)
25 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
26 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
28 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
32 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
33 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
38 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
40 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
44 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
47 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
49 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
53 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
55 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
59 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
62 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
63 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
64 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
66 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
69 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
73 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
75 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
79 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
81 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
85 * Include changes from 2.0010.
87 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
91 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
92 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
96 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
97 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
98 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
103 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
105 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
109 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
110 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
112 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
116 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
118 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
122 * Various packaging issues.
124 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
128 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
129 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
134 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
135 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
136 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
140 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
141 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
142 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
144 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
148 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
149 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
151 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
155 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
156 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
158 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
161 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
162 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
166 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
167 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
169 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
173 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
174 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
178 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
180 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
184 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
186 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
190 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
191 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
193 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
197 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
199 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
203 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
205 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
206 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
208 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
212 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
213 skips every other role. (rjbs)
215 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
216 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
217 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
218 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
219 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
221 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
225 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
226 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
227 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
230 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
235 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
237 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
238 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
240 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
244 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
245 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
246 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
250 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
251 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
253 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
254 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
256 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
257 environments. (doy, mateu)
259 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
263 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
264 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
265 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
266 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
270 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
271 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
273 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
277 * Update conflicts list.
280 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
284 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
285 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
286 details. (Dave Rolsky)
288 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
289 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
290 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
291 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
292 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
296 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
297 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
298 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
299 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
300 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
303 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
307 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
308 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
310 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
313 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
317 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
318 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
319 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
320 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
322 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
323 immutable classes). (mo)
325 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
326 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
327 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
329 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
333 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
335 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
337 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
341 * Fix some indexing issues.
343 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
345 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
349 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
350 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
351 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
352 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
353 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
355 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
356 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
361 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
362 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
363 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
364 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
366 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
367 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
368 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
372 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
373 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
376 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
380 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
381 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
385 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
389 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
390 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
391 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
392 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
395 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
399 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
402 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
406 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
407 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
408 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
411 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
415 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
416 policy. (Chris Prather)
418 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
419 on this new support policy. (doy)
423 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
424 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
425 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
427 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
428 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
430 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
434 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
435 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
436 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
437 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
440 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
444 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
445 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
448 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
452 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
453 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
455 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
456 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
460 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
461 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
462 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
463 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
464 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
465 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
467 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
468 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
470 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
471 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
472 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
473 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
475 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
476 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
478 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
483 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
484 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
486 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
490 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
491 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
492 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
494 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
498 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
499 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
500 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
502 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
503 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
506 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
507 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
510 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
511 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
512 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
514 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
515 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
520 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
521 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
522 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
523 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
525 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
526 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
528 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
529 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
531 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
532 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
533 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
534 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
536 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
537 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
538 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
541 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
542 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
543 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
544 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
546 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
547 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
550 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
551 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
552 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
554 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
558 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
559 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
560 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
562 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
563 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
564 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
567 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
568 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
569 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
571 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
572 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
573 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
575 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
576 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
580 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
581 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
582 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
584 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
585 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
586 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
587 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
589 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
593 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
594 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
595 value is a reference.
597 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
598 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
600 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
604 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
605 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
606 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
608 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
612 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
613 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
617 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
618 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
619 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
621 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
622 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
623 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
625 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
629 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
631 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
635 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
637 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
638 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
643 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
644 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
646 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
647 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
648 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
649 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
650 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
652 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
653 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
654 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
655 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
657 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
661 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
662 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
667 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
669 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
671 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
676 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
678 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
682 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
683 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
684 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
686 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
687 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
688 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
689 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
691 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
692 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
693 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
694 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
695 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
698 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
703 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
704 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
705 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
706 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
707 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
710 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
714 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
717 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
718 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
722 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
723 function (not just method). (doy)
727 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
728 and aren't easily installable/testable.
730 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
734 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
735 to be overridden more easily (doy).
737 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
741 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
742 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
744 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
748 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
749 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
750 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
752 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
756 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
757 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
758 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
760 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
761 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
765 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
766 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
768 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
769 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
773 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
774 is applied to a class (t0m).
776 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
777 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
779 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
782 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
783 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
785 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
786 be much more robust. (doy)
788 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
790 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
793 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
797 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
798 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
800 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
804 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
805 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
807 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
810 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
811 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
812 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
814 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
815 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
816 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
819 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
821 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
825 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
826 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
830 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
832 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
836 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
837 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
841 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
842 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
846 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
848 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
852 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
853 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
857 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
858 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
862 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
863 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
865 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
869 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
870 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
871 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
874 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
878 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
879 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
880 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
881 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
883 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
887 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
888 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
889 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
893 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
896 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
900 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
901 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
902 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
906 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
907 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
909 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
910 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
911 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
912 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
914 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
918 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
922 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
923 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
925 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
926 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
927 - Moose::Util::does_role
928 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
929 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
930 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
932 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
936 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
937 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
938 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
941 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
945 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
946 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
949 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
953 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
954 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
957 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
961 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
963 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
964 class. (Dave Rolsky).
966 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
967 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
968 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
970 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
971 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
972 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
975 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
976 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
978 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
979 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
980 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
982 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
984 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
985 substr et al, again. (sorear)
987 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
989 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
992 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
993 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
995 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
996 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
998 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
999 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1000 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1001 dependencies installed.
1003 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1004 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1007 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1009 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1013 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1015 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1016 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1017 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1019 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1020 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1021 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1023 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1024 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1027 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1028 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1029 others. (nothingmuch)
1031 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1032 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1033 remove_accessors. (doy)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1036 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1037 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1039 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1040 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1042 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1043 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1044 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1045 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1047 * Moose::Meta::Class
1048 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1049 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1051 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1052 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1054 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1056 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1057 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1060 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1061 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1062 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1063 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1064 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1066 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1067 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1069 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1070 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1071 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1072 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1075 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1076 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1077 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1078 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1079 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1081 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1082 which were not receiving the value of
1083 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1084 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1085 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1086 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1090 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1091 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1092 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1093 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1094 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1097 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1098 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1099 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1100 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1102 * Moose::Meta::Class
1103 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1104 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1105 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1108 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1110 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1112 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1113 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1114 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1117 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1118 class if you pass it options for
1119 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1120 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1121 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1122 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1123 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1124 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1125 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1126 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1127 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1129 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1130 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1131 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1132 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1133 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1136 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1137 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1138 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1139 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1141 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1142 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1143 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1144 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1145 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1146 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1149 * Moose::Error::Croak
1150 * Moose::Error::Confess
1151 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1152 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1155 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1158 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1159 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1160 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1162 * Moose::Meta::Class
1163 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1166 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1167 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1168 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1170 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1171 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1172 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1173 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1174 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1176 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1177 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1180 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1182 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1183 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1186 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1187 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1189 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1191 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1192 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1194 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1195 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1196 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1197 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1198 using it for new code!
1200 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1201 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1202 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1203 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1205 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1206 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1207 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1208 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1209 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1210 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1211 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1212 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1215 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1218 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1219 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1222 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1223 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1225 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1226 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1227 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1229 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1230 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1231 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1232 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1234 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1235 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1236 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1238 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1239 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1240 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1243 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1244 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1245 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1246 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1247 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1248 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1250 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1252 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1256 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1257 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1259 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1260 associated_methods. (hdp)
1261 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1262 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1263 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1264 misspelled) arguments
1266 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1267 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1268 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1269 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1271 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1272 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1273 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1275 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1279 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1280 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1283 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1284 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1286 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1287 * Moose::Meta::Class
1288 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1289 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1291 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1292 * Moose::Manual::Types
1293 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1294 string parsing rathole (mst)
1296 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1297 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1298 using plain objects instead
1300 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1301 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1302 that's what we need.
1304 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1305 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1306 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1307 three times today (perigrin)
1308 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1309 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1311 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1312 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1313 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1314 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1317 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1318 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1319 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1320 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1321 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1322 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1325 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1326 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1327 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1328 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1331 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1333 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1336 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1338 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1341 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1342 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1343 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1347 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1348 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1351 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1352 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1354 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1355 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1356 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1358 * Moose::Unsweetened
1359 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1361 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1362 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1365 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1369 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1370 methods during global destruction (doy)
1372 * Moose::Meta::Class
1373 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1374 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1375 consumption (Sartak)
1377 * Moose::Meta::Class
1378 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1379 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1382 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1383 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1386 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1387 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1389 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1391 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1395 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1396 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1397 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1400 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1401 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1402 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1405 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1407 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1408 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1409 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1412 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1413 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1414 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1415 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1417 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1418 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1419 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1422 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1425 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1426 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1427 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1431 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1432 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1434 * Moose::Meta::Class
1435 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1437 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1439 * Moose::Meta::Class
1440 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1441 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1444 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1445 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1448 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1449 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1452 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1455 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1457 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1458 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1461 * Moose::Meta::Class
1462 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1465 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1468 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1469 * More deprecations and renamings
1470 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1471 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1472 when an object is constructed)
1475 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1476 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1477 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1479 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1480 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1481 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1482 feature, and it works again.
1485 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1487 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1489 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1490 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1491 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1493 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1494 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1495 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1496 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1497 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1500 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1501 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1502 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1503 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1506 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1507 metaclass object. (hdp)
1509 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1510 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1511 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1512 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1513 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1514 point out this fact. (hdp)
1516 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1517 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1519 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1520 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1522 * Moose::Meta::Class
1523 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1524 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1525 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1526 called during instance construction were passed the
1527 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1528 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1530 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1531 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1534 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1535 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1536 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1539 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1540 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1541 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1542 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1543 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1545 - Moose::Meta::Class
1546 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1548 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1549 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1550 when an object is constructed)
1551 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1553 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1554 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1555 when an object is constructed)
1556 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1557 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1558 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1561 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1563 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1564 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1566 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1568 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1569 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1570 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1572 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1573 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1574 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1576 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1578 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1579 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1581 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1582 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1585 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1586 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1589 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1590 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1591 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1593 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1594 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1598 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1599 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1600 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1602 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1603 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1606 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1607 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1608 with recommended workarounds.
1610 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1611 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1613 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1614 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1615 (yes, spelled like that).
1617 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1618 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1620 * Moose::Meta::Class
1621 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1622 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1624 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1626 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1627 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1628 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1629 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1630 instead. Reported by doy.
1632 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1634 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1635 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1637 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1638 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1639 message) is now deprecated.
1640 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1641 often got it wrong. For example:
1643 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1645 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1649 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1650 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1651 bite you in weird cases.
1653 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1654 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1655 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1656 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1658 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1659 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1663 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1666 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1667 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1670 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1671 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1673 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1674 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1677 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1678 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1679 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1680 - added tests for this (stevan)
1682 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1683 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1684 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1685 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1689 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1690 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1691 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1692 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1694 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1695 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1696 - added tests for this (rafl)
1698 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1699 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1700 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1701 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1705 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1706 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1709 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1710 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1711 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1713 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1715 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1716 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1718 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1719 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1720 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1721 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1722 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1724 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1725 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1726 error message did not specify the attribute name
1729 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1731 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1733 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1734 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1735 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1737 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1738 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1741 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1743 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1744 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1745 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1746 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1748 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1750 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1751 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1752 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1753 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1755 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1756 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1757 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1759 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1760 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1761 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1762 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1763 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1765 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1766 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1767 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1768 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1769 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1771 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1772 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1773 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1774 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1775 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1776 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1778 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1779 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1780 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1781 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1782 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1783 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1785 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1786 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1788 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1789 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1790 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1791 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1793 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1794 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1797 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1801 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1802 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1804 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1805 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1806 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1807 guts. (nothingmuch).
1809 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1810 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1811 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1813 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1814 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1815 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1816 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1818 * Moose::Meta::Class
1819 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1822 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1823 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1825 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1826 * Moose::Unsweetened
1827 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1830 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1831 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1832 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1833 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1834 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1835 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1837 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1838 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1839 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1840 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1841 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1842 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1843 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1844 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1845 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1846 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1848 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1850 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1851 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1853 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1854 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1855 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1856 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1858 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1859 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1860 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1861 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1862 same methods for a single role did not work
1863 right (worked just fine with multiple
1865 - added test for this (stevan)
1867 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1868 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1869 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1872 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1873 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1874 - added test for this (t0m)
1877 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1878 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1879 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1882 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1883 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1884 - added test for this (t0m)
1886 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1887 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1888 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1889 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1890 - added test for this (perigrin)
1893 - create method for constructing a role
1894 dynamically (Sartak)
1895 - added test for this (Sartak)
1896 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1897 - added test for this (Sartak)
1900 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1902 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1903 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1904 methods is useful (Sartak)
1906 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1907 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1908 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1911 * Moose::Meta::Class
1912 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1913 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1914 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1915 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1916 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1917 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1920 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1921 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1924 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1925 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1926 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1927 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1929 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1931 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1932 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1933 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1936 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1937 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1938 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1939 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1940 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1941 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1944 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1945 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1946 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1947 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1948 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1949 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1950 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1951 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1952 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1953 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1954 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1956 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1957 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1960 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1961 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1962 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1963 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1964 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1966 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1968 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1969 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1970 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1972 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1973 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1975 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1976 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1977 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1978 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1981 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1982 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1984 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1986 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1987 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1989 * Moose::Meta::Class
1990 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1991 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1992 a required attribute
1994 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1995 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1996 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1997 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1999 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2000 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2002 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2003 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2004 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2005 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2006 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2007 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2008 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2009 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2011 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2012 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2013 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2015 * Roles and role application
2016 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2017 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2018 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2019 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2020 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2022 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2023 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2026 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2027 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2028 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2029 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2030 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2033 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2034 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2035 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2036 changes in the Moose internals.
2038 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2039 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2040 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2043 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2044 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2045 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2046 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2048 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2049 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2050 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2051 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2053 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2054 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2055 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2056 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2057 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2058 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2059 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2060 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2061 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2062 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2063 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2064 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2065 constraint implementations.
2067 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2071 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2072 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2073 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2074 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2075 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2076 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2077 - added tests for this (rafl)
2079 * Moose::Meta::Class
2080 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2081 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2082 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2083 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2084 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2085 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2086 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2087 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2090 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2091 - added tests for this (thepler)
2093 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2094 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2095 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2096 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2099 * Moose::Meta::Class
2100 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2101 * Moose::Meta::Method
2104 * Moose::Error::Default
2105 * Moose::Error::Croak
2106 * Moose::Error::Confess
2107 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2108 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2109 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2110 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2111 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2112 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2114 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2116 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2117 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2119 * Moose::Unsweetened
2120 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2121 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2122 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2124 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2125 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2126 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2127 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2128 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2131 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2132 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2134 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2135 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2136 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2137 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2163 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2164 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

2176 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2177 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2179 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2180 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2183 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2184 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2185 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2186 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2187 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2188 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2190 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2191 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2193 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2195 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2196 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"

2213 - added test for this (t0m)
2215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2216 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2217 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2219 - added test for this (t0m)
2222 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2223 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2224 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2227 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2228 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2230 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2233 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2235 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2267 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2269 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2271 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2272 created so that the process can be more easily
2273 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2307 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2308 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2310 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2311 ... this is not my day today ...
2313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2314 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2315 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2316 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2317 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2320 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2321 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2322 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2323 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2324 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2327 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2329 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2330 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2332 this is not ever something you want to do
2333 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2334 - added tests for this (stevan)
2337 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2339 - added test for this

2359 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2362 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2363 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2364 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2365 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2366 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2367 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2368 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2369 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2370 - added tests for this
2372 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2373 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2374 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2470 method for immutablization to check if the
2471 destructor object even needs to be created
2474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2475 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2476 - added more descriptive error message to help
2477 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2478 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2480 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2482 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2483 XS based functionality is now optional
2484 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2485 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2486 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2488 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2489 to take care of this, mostly we added

2496 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2497 is currently not supported in roles,
2498 but, ... patches welcome

2506 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2563 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2564 eating the $@ values, and so not
2565 working correctly, it still kind of
2566 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2567 - added tests for this
2569 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2570 - added new recipe for immutable

2589 drink more coffee before
2590 doing release engineering
2592 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2707 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2709 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2710 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2749 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2751 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3000 - added tests for this
3003 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3004 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3046 - fixed how required methods are handled
3047 when they encounter overriden or modified
3048 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3049 - added tests for this
3051 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3052 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3053 the | always creates a union and so is
3054 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

3057 - added more tests for this
3059 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3062 * Parameterized Types
3063 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3064 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3065 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3066 They can also be nested:
3067 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3068 And work with the type unions as well:
3069 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3071 * Better Framework Extendability
3072 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3073 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3074 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3075 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3078 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3079 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3080 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3081 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3084 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3086 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3087 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3147 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3149 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3315 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3316 so that you can actually document your
3317 attributes and inspect them through the

3321 * Moose::Meta::Class
3322 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3323 it will first look in for the class in the
3324 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3325 then default to just loading $name.
3326 - added tests and docs for this
3328 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3329 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3330 - added test for this

3335 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3336 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3338 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3339 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3342 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3344 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3345 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3346 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3349 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3350 !! for this developer release to work !!
3352 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3353 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3354 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3355 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3356 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3357 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3358 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3359 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3360 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3361 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3362 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3364 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3365 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3366 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3367 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3370 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3371 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3372 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3373 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3374 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3376 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3378 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3379 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3382 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3383 called unless they actually need to be.
3384 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3385 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3386 DEMOLISH method present.
3388 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3389 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3390 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3391 type constraint, which allows for a
3392 hand optimized version of the type
3393 constraint to be used when possible.
3394 - Any internally created type constraints
3395 now provide an optimized version as well.
3397 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3399 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3400 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3401 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3403 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3404 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3405 your class namespace of these exported
3408 * Moose::Meta::Class
3409 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3410 comes up during global destruction
3412 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3416 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3420 - changed how we do type checks so that
3421 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3424 - moved accessor generation methods to
3425 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3426 conform to the API changes from
3429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3430 - changed how constraints are compiled
3431 so that we do less recursion and more
3432 iteration. This makes the type check
3434 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3437 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3438 - created this from methods formerly found in
3439 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3441 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3442 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3445 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3447 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3448 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3450 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3452 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3453 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3454 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3455 - added tests for this
3456 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3457 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3458 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3459 - removed tests for this
3461 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3463 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3464 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3465 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3468 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3469 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3470 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3472 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3473 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3474 comments for more info.
3477 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3478 asked questions and common problems
3480 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3481 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3482 - added tests for this
3484 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3485 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3486 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3487 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3489 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3490 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3493 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3494 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3495 is much appreciated :)
3496 - added tests for this
3498 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3499 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3500 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3503 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3504 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3506 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3508 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3509 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3513 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3514 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3515 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3517 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3519 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3522 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3523 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3524 keywords because we need to localize them.
3525 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3527 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3528 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3529 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3532 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3535 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3536 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3537 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3540 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3541 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3542 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3544 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3546 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3547 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3548 bottom of your class file.
3551 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3554 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3556 - improved error message when loading modules so
3557 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3558 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3559 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3562 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3563 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3564 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3566 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3567 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3569 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3570 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3571 turn them on for you.
3572 - added tests for this
3573 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3574 in Moose::Meta::Class
3577 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3578 automatically turned on for you.
3579 - added tests for this
3582 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3583 - added tests for this
3584 - added some more edge case tests
3586 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
3587 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3589 - added prototypes to the exported subs

3597 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3600 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3601 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3602 - This release works in combination with
3603 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3604 release because it uses the a new
3605 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3606 complete Role implementation. It has
3607 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3608 the the previous CPAN version. This
3609 release also lacks good updated docs,
3610 the official release will have updated docs.
3613 - refactored the keyword exports
3614 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3615 accepts more than one Role at a time
3616 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3617 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3620 - refactored the keyword exports
3621 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3622 accepts more than one Role at a time
3624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3625 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3626 string enumerations which can be used as
3628 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3631 - more careful checking of params to new()
3634 - much work done on the role composition
3635 - many new tests for conflict detection
3636 and composition edge cases
3637 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3638 looking at the tests
3640 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3641 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3642 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3644 * Moose::Meta::Class
3645 - some small changes to support the new
3647 - some small additions to support Roles
3649 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3650 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3652 - some small changes to support the new
3654 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3655 with the 'handles' option
3656 - added several tests for this
3657 - no docs for this yet
3659 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3661 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3662 thanks to chansen for this commit
3663 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3664 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3665 on a per-attribute basis
3666 - added tests for this
3667 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3668 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3669 experimental feature and probably not finished

3671 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3672 - added tests for this

3734 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3736 - added test for this
