1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
9 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster.
14 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
16 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
20 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
21 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
23 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
27 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
29 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
33 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
35 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
36 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
38 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
42 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
43 skips every other role. (rjbs)
45 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
46 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
47 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
48 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
49 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
51 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
55 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
56 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
57 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
60 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
65 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
67 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
68 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
70 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
74 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
75 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
76 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
78 * Type constraints can now inline their constraint checks. This replaces the
79 existing hand-optimized constraint feature.
83 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
84 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
89 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
90 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
92 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
93 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
95 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
96 environments. (doy, mateu)
98 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
102 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
103 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
104 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
105 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
109 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
110 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
112 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
116 * Update conflicts list.
119 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
123 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
124 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
125 details. (Dave Rolsky)
127 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
128 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
129 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
130 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
131 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
135 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
136 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
137 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
138 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
139 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
142 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
146 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
147 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
149 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
152 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
156 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
157 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
158 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
159 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
161 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
162 immutable classes). (mo)
164 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
165 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
166 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
168 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
172 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
174 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
176 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
180 * Fix some indexing issues.
182 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
184 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
188 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
189 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
190 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
191 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
192 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
194 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
195 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
200 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
201 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
202 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
203 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
205 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
206 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
207 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
211 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
212 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
215 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
219 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
220 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
224 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
228 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
229 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
230 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
231 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
234 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
238 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
241 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
245 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
246 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
247 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
250 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
254 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
255 policy. (Chris Prather)
257 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
258 on this new support policy. (doy)
262 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
263 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
264 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
266 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
267 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
269 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
273 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
274 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
275 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
276 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
279 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
283 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
284 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
287 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
291 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
292 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
294 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
295 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
299 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
300 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
301 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
302 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
303 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
304 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
306 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
307 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
309 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
310 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
311 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
312 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
314 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
315 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
317 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
322 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
323 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
325 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
329 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
330 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
331 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
333 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
337 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
338 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
339 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
341 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
342 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
345 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
346 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
349 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
350 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
351 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
353 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
354 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
359 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
360 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
361 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
362 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
364 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
365 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
367 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
368 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
370 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
371 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
372 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
373 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
375 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
376 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
377 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
380 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
381 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
382 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
383 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
385 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
386 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
389 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
390 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
391 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
393 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
397 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
398 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
399 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
401 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
402 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
403 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
406 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
407 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
408 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
410 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
411 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
412 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
414 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
415 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
419 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
420 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
421 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
423 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
424 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
425 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
426 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
428 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
432 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
433 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
434 value is a reference.
436 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
437 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
439 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
443 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
444 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
445 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
447 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
451 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
452 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
456 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
457 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
458 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
460 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
461 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
462 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
464 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
468 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
470 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
474 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
476 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
477 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
482 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
483 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
485 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
486 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
487 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
488 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
489 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
491 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
492 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
493 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
494 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
496 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
500 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
501 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
506 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
508 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
510 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
515 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
517 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
521 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
522 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
523 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
525 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
526 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
527 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
528 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
530 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
531 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
532 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
533 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
534 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
537 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
542 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
543 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
544 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
545 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
546 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
549 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
553 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
556 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
557 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
561 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
562 function (not just method). (doy)
566 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
567 and aren't easily installable/testable.
569 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
573 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
574 to be overridden more easily (doy).
576 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
580 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
581 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
583 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
587 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
588 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
589 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
591 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
595 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
596 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
597 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
599 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
600 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
604 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
605 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
607 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
608 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
612 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
613 is applied to a class (t0m).
615 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
616 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
618 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
621 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
622 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
624 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
625 be much more robust. (doy)
627 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
629 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
632 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
636 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
637 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
639 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
643 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
644 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
646 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
649 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
650 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
651 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
653 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
654 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
655 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
658 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
660 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
664 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
665 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
669 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
671 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
675 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
676 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
680 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
681 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
685 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
687 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
691 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
692 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
696 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
697 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
701 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
702 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
704 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
708 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
709 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
710 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
713 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
717 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
718 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
719 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
720 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
722 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
726 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
727 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
728 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
732 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
735 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
739 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
740 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
741 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
745 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
746 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
748 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
749 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
750 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
751 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
753 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
757 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
761 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
762 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
764 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
765 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
766 - Moose::Util::does_role
767 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
768 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
769 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
771 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
775 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
776 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
777 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
780 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
784 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
785 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
788 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
792 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
793 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
796 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
800 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
802 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
803 class. (Dave Rolsky).
805 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
806 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
807 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
809 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
810 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
811 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
814 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
815 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
817 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
818 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
819 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
821 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
823 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
824 substr et al, again. (sorear)
826 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
828 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
831 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
832 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
834 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
835 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
837 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
838 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
839 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
840 dependencies installed.
842 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
843 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
846 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
848 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
852 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
854 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
855 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
856 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
858 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
859 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
860 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
862 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
863 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
866 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
867 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
868 others. (nothingmuch)
870 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
871 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
872 remove_accessors. (doy)
874 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
875 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
876 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
878 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
879 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
881 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
882 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
883 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
884 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
887 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
888 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
890 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
891 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
893 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
895 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
896 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
899 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
900 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
901 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
902 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
903 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
905 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
906 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
907 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
908 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
909 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
910 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
911 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
914 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
915 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
916 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
917 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
918 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
920 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
921 which were not receiving the value of
922 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
923 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
924 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
925 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
929 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
930 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
931 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
932 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
933 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
936 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
937 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
938 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
939 - added tests for this (Stevan)
942 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
943 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
944 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
947 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
948 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
949 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
951 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
952 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
953 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
956 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
957 class if you pass it options for
958 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
959 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
960 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
961 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
962 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
963 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
964 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
965 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
966 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
968 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
969 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
970 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
971 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
972 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
975 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
976 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
977 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
978 existing delegation API. (hdp)
980 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
981 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
982 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
983 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
984 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
985 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
988 * Moose::Error::Croak
989 * Moose::Error::Confess
990 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
991 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
994 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
997 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
998 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
999 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1001 * Moose::Meta::Class
1002 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1005 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1006 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1007 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1009 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1010 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1011 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1012 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1013 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1015 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1016 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1019 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1021 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1022 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1025 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1026 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1028 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1029 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1030 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1031 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1033 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1034 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1035 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1036 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1037 using it for new code!
1039 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1040 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1041 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1042 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1044 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1045 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1046 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1047 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1048 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1049 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1050 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1051 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1054 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1057 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1058 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1061 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1062 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1064 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1065 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1066 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1068 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1069 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1070 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1071 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1073 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1074 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1075 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1077 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1078 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1079 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1082 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1083 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1084 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1085 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1086 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1087 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1089 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1091 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1094 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1095 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1096 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1098 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1099 associated_methods. (hdp)
1100 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1101 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1102 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1103 misspelled) arguments
1105 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1106 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1107 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1108 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1110 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1111 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1112 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1114 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1118 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1119 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1122 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1123 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1125 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1126 * Moose::Meta::Class
1127 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1128 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1130 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1131 * Moose::Manual::Types
1132 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1133 string parsing rathole (mst)
1135 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1136 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1137 using plain objects instead
1139 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1140 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1141 that's what we need.
1143 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1144 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1145 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1146 three times today (perigrin)
1147 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1148 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1150 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1151 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1152 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1153 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1156 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1157 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1158 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1159 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1160 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1161 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1164 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1165 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1166 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1167 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1170 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1172 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1175 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1177 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1180 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1181 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1182 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1186 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1187 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1190 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1191 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1193 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1194 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1195 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1197 * Moose::Unsweetened
1198 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1200 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1201 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1204 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1208 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1209 methods during global destruction (doy)
1211 * Moose::Meta::Class
1212 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1213 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1214 consumption (Sartak)
1216 * Moose::Meta::Class
1217 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1218 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1221 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1222 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1225 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1226 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1228 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1230 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1234 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1235 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1236 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1239 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1240 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1241 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1244 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1246 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1247 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1248 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1251 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1252 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1253 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1254 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1256 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1257 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1258 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1261 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1264 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1265 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1266 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1270 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1271 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1273 * Moose::Meta::Class
1274 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1276 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1278 * Moose::Meta::Class
1279 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1280 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1283 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1284 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1287 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1288 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1291 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1294 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1296 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1297 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1300 * Moose::Meta::Class
1301 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1303 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1304 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1307 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1308 * More deprecations and renamings
1309 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1310 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1311 when an object is constructed)
1314 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1315 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1316 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1318 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1319 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1320 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1321 feature, and it works again.
1324 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1326 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1328 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1329 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1330 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1332 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1333 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1334 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1335 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1336 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1339 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1340 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1341 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1342 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1345 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1346 metaclass object. (hdp)
1348 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1349 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1350 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1351 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1352 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1353 point out this fact. (hdp)
1355 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1356 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1358 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1359 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1361 * Moose::Meta::Class
1362 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1363 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1364 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1365 called during instance construction were passed the
1366 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1367 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1369 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1370 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1373 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1374 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1375 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1378 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1379 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1380 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1381 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1382 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1384 - Moose::Meta::Class
1385 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1387 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1388 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1389 when an object is constructed)
1390 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1392 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1393 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1394 when an object is constructed)
1395 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1396 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1397 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1400 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1402 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1403 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1405 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1407 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1408 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1409 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1411 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1412 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1413 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1415 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1417 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1418 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1420 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1421 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1424 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1425 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1428 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1429 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1430 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1432 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1433 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1437 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1438 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1439 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1441 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1442 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1445 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1446 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1447 with recommended workarounds.
1449 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1450 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1452 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1453 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1454 (yes, spelled like that).
1456 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1457 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1459 * Moose::Meta::Class
1460 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1461 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1463 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1465 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1466 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1467 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1468 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1469 instead. Reported by doy.
1471 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1473 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1474 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1476 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1477 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1478 message) is now deprecated.
1479 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1480 often got it wrong. For example:
1482 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1484 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1488 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1489 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1490 bite you in weird cases.
1492 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1493 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1494 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1495 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1497 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1498 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1502 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1505 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1506 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1509 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1510 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1512 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1513 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1516 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1517 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1518 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1519 - added tests for this (stevan)
1521 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1522 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1523 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1524 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1528 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1529 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1530 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1531 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1533 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1534 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1535 - added tests for this (rafl)
1537 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1538 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1539 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1540 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1544 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1545 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1548 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1549 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1550 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1552 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1554 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1555 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1557 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1558 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1559 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1560 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1561 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1563 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1564 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1565 error message did not specify the attribute name
1568 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1570 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1572 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1573 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1574 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1577 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1580 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1582 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1583 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1584 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1585 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1587 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1589 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1590 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1591 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1592 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1594 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1595 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1596 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1598 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1599 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1600 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1601 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1602 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1605 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1606 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1607 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1608 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1610 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1611 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1612 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1613 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1614 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1615 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1617 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1618 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1619 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1620 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1621 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1622 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1624 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1625 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1627 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1628 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1629 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1630 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1632 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1633 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1636 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1640 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1641 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1643 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1644 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1645 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1646 guts. (nothingmuch).
1648 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1650 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1652 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1653 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1654 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1655 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1657 * Moose::Meta::Class
1658 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1661 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1662 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1664 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1665 * Moose::Unsweetened
1666 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1669 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1670 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1671 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1672 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1673 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1674 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1676 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1677 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1678 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1679 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1680 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1681 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1682 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1683 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1684 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1685 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1687 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1689 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1690 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1692 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1693 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1694 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1695 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1697 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1698 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1699 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1700 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1701 same methods for a single role did not work
1702 right (worked just fine with multiple
1704 - added test for this (stevan)
1706 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1707 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1708 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1711 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1712 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1713 - added test for this (t0m)
1716 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1717 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1718 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1720 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1721 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1722 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1723 - added test for this (t0m)
1725 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1726 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1727 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1728 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1729 - added test for this (perigrin)
1732 - create method for constructing a role
1733 dynamically (Sartak)
1734 - added test for this (Sartak)
1735 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1736 - added test for this (Sartak)
1739 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1741 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1742 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1743 methods is useful (Sartak)
1745 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1746 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1747 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1750 * Moose::Meta::Class
1751 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1752 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1753 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1754 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1755 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1756 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1759 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1760 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1762 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1763 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1764 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1765 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1766 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1768 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1770 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1771 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1772 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1775 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1776 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1777 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1778 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1779 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1780 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1783 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1784 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1785 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1786 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1787 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1788 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1789 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1790 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1791 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1792 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1793 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1795 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1796 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1799 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1800 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1801 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1802 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1803 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1805 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1807 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1808 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1809 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1811 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1812 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1815 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1816 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1817 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1820 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1821 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1823 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1825 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1826 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1828 * Moose::Meta::Class
1829 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1830 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1831 a required attribute
1833 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1834 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1835 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1836 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1838 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1839 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1841 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1842 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1843 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1844 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1845 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1846 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1847 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1848 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1850 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1851 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1852 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1854 * Roles and role application
1855 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1856 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1857 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1858 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1859 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1861 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1862 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1865 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1866 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1867 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1868 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1869 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1872 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1873 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1874 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1875 changes in the Moose internals.
1877 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1878 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1879 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1882 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1883 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1884 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1885 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1887 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1888 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1889 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1890 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1892 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1893 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1894 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1895 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1896 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1897 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1898 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1899 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1900 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1901 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1902 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1903 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1904 constraint implementations.
1906 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1910 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1911 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1912 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1913 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1914 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1915 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1916 - added tests for this (rafl)
1918 * Moose::Meta::Class
1919 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1920 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1921 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1922 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1923 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1924 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1925 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1926 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1929 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1930 - added tests for this (thepler)
1932 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1933 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1934 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1935 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1938 * Moose::Meta::Class
1939 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1940 * Moose::Meta::Method
1943 * Moose::Error::Default
1944 * Moose::Error::Croak
1945 * Moose::Error::Confess
1946 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1947 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1948 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1949 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1950 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1951 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1953 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1955 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1956 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1958 * Moose::Unsweetened
1959 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1960 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1961 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1963 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1964 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1965 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1966 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1967 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1970 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1971 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1973 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1974 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1975 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1976 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1979 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1981 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1982 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1984 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1987 - Various bug fixes.
1989 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1990 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1992 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1994 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1995 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1996 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1997 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1998 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1999 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2001 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2002 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2003 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2005 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2006 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2007 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2010 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2011 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2012 dependency to 0.64_07.
2014 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2015 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2016 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2018 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2019 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2022 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2023 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2024 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2025 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2026 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2027 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2029 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2030 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2032 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2034 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2035 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2039 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2040 method when that method was provided by another role being
2041 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2042 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2044 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2046 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2047 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2049 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2050 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2051 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2052 - added test for this (t0m)
2054 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2055 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2056 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2058 - added test for this (t0m)
2061 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"

2072 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2074 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2075 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2076 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

2089 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2090 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2091 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2094 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2095 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2096 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2097 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2100 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2104 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2105 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making

2150 ... this is not my day today ...
2152 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2153 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2154 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2155 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2156 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2159 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2160 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2161 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2162 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2163 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2166 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2168 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2169 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2201 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2202 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2203 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2204 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2205 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2206 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2207 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2208 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2209 - added tests for this
2211 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2212 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2322 XS based functionality is now optional
2323 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2753 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2755 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2756 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2757 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2759 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2760 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)
2762 * Moose::Meta::Class
2764 - several tweaks to take advantage of the
2765 new method map caching in Class::MOP
2767 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

2772 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2773 - added tests for this
2775 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2776 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2777 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2778 types without having to explictly define them
2779 - added tests for this
2781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2782 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2783 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2785 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2786 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2787 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2788 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2789 - added tests for this
2790 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2791 a single type at different times instead of
2792 having to do it all in one place
2793 - added tests for this
2795 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2796 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2797 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2800 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2801 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2802 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2803 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2804 new features above (although you cannot add
2805 more type coercions for Union types)
2807 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2808 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2809 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2810 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2811 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2812 - added tests for this.
2813 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2814 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2815 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2816 - added tests for this
2817 - added docs for this
2819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2820 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2821 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2822 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2823 instead it will just return undef.
2824 - added docs for this
2826 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2838 with work correctly.
2839 - added tests for this
2842 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2843 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2846 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2847 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2848 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2850 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2851 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2882 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2885 - fixed how required methods are handled
2886 when they encounter overriden or modified
2887 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2888 - added tests for this
2890 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2891 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2892 the | always creates a union and so is
2893 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2894 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2896 - added more tests for this
2898 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2901 * Parameterized Types
2902 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2903 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2904 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2905 They can also be nested:
2906 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2907 And work with the type unions as well:
2908 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2910 * Better Framework Extendability
2911 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2912 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2913 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2914 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2917 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2918 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2919 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2920 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2923 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2925 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2926 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2929 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
2930 set it to inline the accessors
2931 - fix import to allow Sub::Exporter like { into => }

2956 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2957 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2959 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2960 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2961 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2962 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2964 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2965 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2966 - updated the accompanying test as well
2968 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2969 +++ with new features added as well +++
2971 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2972 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2973 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2974 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2975 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2977 - added tests for this
2979 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2980 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2981 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2982 can track where the type constraints are created
2984 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2985 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2986 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2988 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2989 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2990 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2991 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2993 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

3005 (thanks to shlomif).
3007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3008 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3009 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3010 - added tests for this
3011 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
3013 - added tests for this
3015 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3016 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3017 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3018 - type-constraint tests now handle overloaded objects correctly

3047 - added tests for these
3049 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3050 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3052 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3053 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3054 to the 'handles' option.
3055 - added tests and docs for this
3056 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to

3058 (but not changing the handles option)
3059 - added tests and docs for this
3062 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3063 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3064 - adjusted tests for this
3066 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3067 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3068 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3074 the other side (perigrin)
3076 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3078 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3079 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3080 prototypes for functions
3081 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3082 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3092 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3095 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3096 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3097 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3098 - added tests for this
3100 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3102 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3103 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

3115 where not handled correctly in roles
3116 - added tests for this
3118 * Moose::Meta::Class
3119 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3120 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3121 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3123 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3124 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3126 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3127 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3128 so this release is just to fix that.
3131 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3132 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3133 (thanks to konobi for this)
3134 - added tests and docs
3136 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3137 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3139 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3140 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3141 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3142 - added tests for this
3143 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3144 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3145 functions to facilitate introspection.
3147 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3148 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3149 to build the list of delegated methods
3150 correctly (and not override important
3151 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3153 - added tests and docs for this
3154 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3155 so that you can actually document your
3156 attributes and inspect them through the
3158 - added tests and docs for this
3160 * Moose::Meta::Class
3161 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3162 it will first look in for the class in the
3163 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3164 then default to just loading $name.
3165 - added tests and docs for this
3167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3168 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3169 - added test for this
3172 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3173 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3174 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3175 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3177 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3178 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3181 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3183 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3184 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3185 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3188 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3189 !! for this developer release to work !!
3191 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3192 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3193 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3194 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3195 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3196 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3197 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3198 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3199 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3200 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3201 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3203 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3204 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3205 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3206 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3209 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3211 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3212 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3213 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3215 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3217 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3218 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3221 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3222 called unless they actually need to be.
3223 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3224 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3225 DEMOLISH method present.
3227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3228 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3229 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3230 type constraint, which allows for a
3231 hand optimized version of the type
3232 constraint to be used when possible.
3233 - Any internally created type constraints
3234 now provide an optimized version as well.
3236 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3238 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3239 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3240 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3242 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3243 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3244 your class namespace of these exported
3247 * Moose::Meta::Class
3248 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3249 comes up during global destruction
3251 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3255 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3259 - changed how we do type checks so that
3260 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3263 - moved accessor generation methods to
3264 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3265 conform to the API changes from
3268 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3269 - changed how constraints are compiled
3270 so that we do less recursion and more
3271 iteration. This makes the type check
3273 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3276 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3277 - created this from methods formerly found in
3278 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3280 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3281 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3283 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3284 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3286 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3287 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3289 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3292 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3293 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3294 - added tests for this
3295 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3296 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3297 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3298 - removed tests for this
3300 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3302 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3303 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3304 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3307 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3308 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3309 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3311 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3312 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3313 comments for more info.
3316 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3317 asked questions and common problems
3319 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3320 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3321 - added tests for this
3323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3324 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3325 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3326 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3328 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3329 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3332 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3333 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3334 is much appreciated :)
3335 - added tests for this
3337 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3338 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3339 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3342 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3343 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3345 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3347 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3348 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3352 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3353 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3354 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3356 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3358 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3361 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3362 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3363 keywords because we need to localize them.
3364 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3366 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3367 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3368 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3371 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3374 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3375 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3376 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3379 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3380 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3381 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3383 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3385 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3386 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3387 bottom of your class file.
3390 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3393 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3395 - improved error message when loading modules so
3396 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3397 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3398 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3401 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3402 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3403 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3405 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3406 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3408 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3409 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3410 turn them on for you.
3411 - added tests for this
3412 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3413 in Moose::Meta::Class
3416 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3417 automatically turned on for you.
3418 - added tests for this
3421 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3422 - added tests for this
3423 - added some more edge case tests

3435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3436 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3439 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3440 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3441 - This release works in combination with
3442 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3443 release because it uses the a new
3444 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3445 complete Role implementation. It has
3446 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3447 the the previous CPAN version. This
3448 release also lacks good updated docs,
3449 the official release will have updated docs.
3452 - refactored the keyword exports
3453 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3454 accepts more than one Role at a time
3455 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3456 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3459 - refactored the keyword exports
3460 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3461 accepts more than one Role at a time
3463 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3464 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3465 string enumerations which can be used as
3467 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3470 - more careful checking of params to new()
3473 - much work done on the role composition
3474 - many new tests for conflict detection
3475 and composition edge cases
3476 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3477 looking at the tests
3479 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3480 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3481 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3483 * Moose::Meta::Class
3484 - some small changes to support the new
3486 - some small additions to support Roles
3488 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3489 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3491 - some small changes to support the new
3493 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3494 with the 'handles' option
3495 - added several tests for this
3496 - no docs for this yet

3500 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3501 thanks to chansen for this commit
3502 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3503 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3504 on a per-attribute basis
3505 - added tests for this
3506 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3507 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3508 experimental feature and probably not finished
