1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
12 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
13 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
15 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
19 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
22 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
23 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
24 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
26 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
29 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
33 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
35 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
39 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
41 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
45 * Include changes from 2.0010.
47 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
51 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
52 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
56 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
57 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
58 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
63 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
65 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
69 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
70 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
72 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
76 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
78 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
82 * Various packaging issues.
84 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
88 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
89 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
94 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
95 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
96 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
100 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
101 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
102 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
104 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
108 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
109 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
111 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
115 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
116 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
118 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
121 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
122 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
126 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
127 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
129 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
133 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
134 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
138 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
140 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
144 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
146 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
150 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
151 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
153 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
157 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
159 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
163 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
165 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
166 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
168 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
172 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
173 skips every other role. (rjbs)
175 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
176 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
177 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
178 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
179 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
181 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
185 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
186 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
187 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
190 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
195 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
197 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
198 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
200 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
204 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
205 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
206 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
210 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
211 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
213 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
214 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
216 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
217 environments. (doy, mateu)
219 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
223 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
224 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
225 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
226 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
230 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
231 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
233 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
237 * Update conflicts list.
240 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
244 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
245 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
246 details. (Dave Rolsky)
248 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
249 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
250 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
251 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
252 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
256 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
257 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
258 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
259 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
260 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
263 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
267 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
268 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
270 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
273 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
277 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
278 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
279 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
280 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
282 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
283 immutable classes). (mo)
285 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
286 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
287 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
289 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
293 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
295 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
297 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
301 * Fix some indexing issues.
303 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
305 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
309 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
310 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
311 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
312 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
313 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
315 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
316 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
321 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
322 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
323 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
324 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
326 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
327 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
328 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
332 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
333 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
336 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
340 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
341 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
345 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
349 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
350 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
351 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
352 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
355 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
359 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
362 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
366 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
367 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
368 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
371 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
375 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
376 policy. (Chris Prather)
378 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
379 on this new support policy. (doy)
383 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
384 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
385 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
387 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
388 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
390 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
394 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
395 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
396 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
397 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
400 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
404 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
405 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
408 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
412 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
413 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
415 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
416 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
420 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
421 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
422 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
423 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
424 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
425 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
427 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
428 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
430 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
431 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
432 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
433 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
435 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
436 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
438 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
443 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
444 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
446 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
450 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
451 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
452 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
454 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
458 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
459 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
460 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
462 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
463 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
466 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
467 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
470 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
471 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
472 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
474 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
475 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
480 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
481 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
482 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
483 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
485 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
486 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
488 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
489 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
491 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
492 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
493 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
494 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
496 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
497 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
498 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
501 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
502 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
503 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
504 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
506 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
507 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
510 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
511 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
512 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
514 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
518 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
519 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
520 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
522 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
523 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
524 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
527 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
528 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
529 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
531 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
532 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
533 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
535 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
536 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
540 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
541 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
542 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
544 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
545 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
546 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
547 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
549 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
553 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
554 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
555 value is a reference.
557 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
558 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
560 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
564 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
565 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
566 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
568 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
572 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
573 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
577 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
578 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
579 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
581 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
582 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
583 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
585 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
589 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
591 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
595 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
597 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
598 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
603 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
604 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
606 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
607 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
608 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
609 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
610 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
612 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
613 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
614 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
615 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
617 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
621 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
622 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
627 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
629 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
631 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
636 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
638 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
642 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
643 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
644 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
646 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
647 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
648 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
649 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
651 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
652 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
653 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
654 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
655 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
658 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
663 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
664 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
665 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
666 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
667 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
670 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
674 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
677 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
678 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
682 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
683 function (not just method). (doy)
687 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
688 and aren't easily installable/testable.
690 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
694 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
695 to be overridden more easily (doy).
697 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
701 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
702 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
704 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
708 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
709 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
710 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
712 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
716 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
717 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
718 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
720 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
721 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
725 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
726 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
728 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
729 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
733 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
734 is applied to a class (t0m).
736 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
737 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
739 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
742 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
743 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
745 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
746 be much more robust. (doy)
748 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
750 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
753 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
757 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
758 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
760 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
764 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
765 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
767 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
770 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
771 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
772 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
774 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
775 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
776 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
779 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
781 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
785 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
786 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
790 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
792 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
796 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
797 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
801 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.

806 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
808 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
812 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
813 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
817 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
818 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
822 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
823 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
825 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
829 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
830 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
831 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
834 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
838 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
839 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
840 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
841 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
843 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
847 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
848 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
849 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
853 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
856 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
860 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
861 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
862 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
866 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
867 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
869 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
870 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
871 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
872 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
874 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
878 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
882 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
883 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
885 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
886 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
887 - Moose::Util::does_role
888 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
889 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
890 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
892 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
896 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
897 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
898 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
901 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
905 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
906 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
909 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
913 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
914 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
917 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
921 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
923 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
924 class. (Dave Rolsky).
926 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
927 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
928 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
930 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
931 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
932 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
935 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
936 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
938 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
939 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
940 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
942 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
944 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
945 substr et al, again. (sorear)
947 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
949 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
952 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
953 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
955 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
956 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
958 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
959 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
960 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
961 dependencies installed.
963 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
964 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
967 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
969 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
973 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
975 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
976 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
977 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
979 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
980 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
981 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
983 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
984 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
987 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
988 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
989 others. (nothingmuch)
991 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
992 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
993 remove_accessors. (doy)
995 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
996 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
997 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
999 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1000 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1002 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1003 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1004 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1005 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1007 * Moose::Meta::Class
1008 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1009 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1012 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1014 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1016 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1017 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1020 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1021 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1022 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1023 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1024 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1026 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1027 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1028 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1029 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1030 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1031 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1032 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1035 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1036 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1037 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1038 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1039 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1041 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1042 which were not receiving the value of
1043 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1044 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1045 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1046 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1050 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1051 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1052 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1053 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1054 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1057 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1058 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1059 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1060 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1062 * Moose::Meta::Class
1063 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1064 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1065 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1068 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1069 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1070 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1072 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1073 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1074 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1077 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1078 class if you pass it options for
1079 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1080 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1081 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1082 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1083 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1084 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1085 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1086 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1087 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1089 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1090 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1091 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1092 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1093 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1096 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1097 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1098 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1099 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1101 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1102 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1103 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1104 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1105 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1106 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1109 * Moose::Error::Croak
1110 * Moose::Error::Confess
1111 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1112 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1115 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1118 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1119 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1120 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1122 * Moose::Meta::Class
1123 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1126 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1127 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1128 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1130 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1131 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1132 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1133 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1134 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1136 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1137 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1140 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1142 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1143 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1146 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1147 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1149 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1150 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1151 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1152 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1154 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1155 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1156 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1157 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1158 using it for new code!
1160 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1161 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1162 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1163 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1165 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1166 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1167 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1168 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1169 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1170 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1171 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1172 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1175 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1178 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1179 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1182 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1183 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1185 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1186 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1187 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1189 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1191 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1192 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1194 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1195 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1196 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1198 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1199 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1200 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1203 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1205 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1206 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1207 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1208 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1210 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1212 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1216 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1217 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1219 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1220 associated_methods. (hdp)
1221 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1222 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1223 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1224 misspelled) arguments
1226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1227 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1228 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1229 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1231 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1233 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1235 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1239 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1240 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1243 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1244 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1246 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1247 * Moose::Meta::Class
1248 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1249 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1251 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1252 * Moose::Manual::Types
1253 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1254 string parsing rathole (mst)
1256 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1257 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1258 using plain objects instead
1260 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1261 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1262 that's what we need.
1264 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1265 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1266 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1267 three times today (perigrin)
1268 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1269 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1271 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1272 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1273 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1274 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1277 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1278 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1279 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1280 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1281 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1282 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1285 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1286 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1287 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1288 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1291 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1293 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1296 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1298 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1301 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1302 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1303 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1307 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1308 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1311 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1312 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1314 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1315 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1316 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1318 * Moose::Unsweetened
1319 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1321 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1322 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1325 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1329 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1330 methods during global destruction (doy)
1332 * Moose::Meta::Class
1333 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1334 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1335 consumption (Sartak)
1337 * Moose::Meta::Class
1338 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1339 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1342 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1343 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1346 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1347 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1349 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1351 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1355 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1356 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1357 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1360 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1361 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1362 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1365 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1367 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1368 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1369 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1372 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1373 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1374 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1375 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1377 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1378 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1379 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1382 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1385 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1386 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1387 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1391 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1392 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1394 * Moose::Meta::Class
1395 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1397 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1399 * Moose::Meta::Class
1400 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1401 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1404 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1405 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1408 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1409 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1412 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1415 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1417 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1418 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1421 * Moose::Meta::Class
1422 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1424 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1425 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1428 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1429 * More deprecations and renamings
1430 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1431 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1432 when an object is constructed)
1435 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1436 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1437 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1439 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1440 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1441 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1442 feature, and it works again.
1445 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1447 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1449 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1450 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1451 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1453 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1454 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1455 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1456 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1457 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1459 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1460 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1461 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1462 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1463 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1466 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1467 metaclass object. (hdp)
1469 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1470 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1471 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1472 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1473 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1474 point out this fact. (hdp)
1476 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1477 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1479 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1480 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1482 * Moose::Meta::Class
1483 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1484 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1485 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1486 called during instance construction were passed the
1487 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1488 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1490 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1491 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1494 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1495 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1496 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1499 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1500 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1501 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1502 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1503 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1505 - Moose::Meta::Class
1506 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1508 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1509 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1510 when an object is constructed)
1511 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1513 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1514 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1515 when an object is constructed)
1516 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1517 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1518 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1521 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1523 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1524 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1526 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1528 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1529 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1530 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1532 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1533 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1534 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1536 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1538 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1539 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1541 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1542 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1545 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1546 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1549 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1550 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1551 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1553 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1554 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1558 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1559 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1560 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1563 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1566 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1567 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1568 with recommended workarounds.
1570 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1571 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1573 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1574 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1575 (yes, spelled like that).
1577 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1578 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1580 * Moose::Meta::Class
1581 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1582 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1584 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1586 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1587 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1588 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1589 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1590 instead. Reported by doy.
1592 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1594 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1595 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1597 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1598 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1599 message) is now deprecated.
1600 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1601 often got it wrong. For example:
1603 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1605 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1609 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1610 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1611 bite you in weird cases.
1613 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1614 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1615 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1616 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1618 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1619 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1623 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1626 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1627 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1630 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1631 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1633 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1634 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1637 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1638 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1639 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1640 - added tests for this (stevan)
1642 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1643 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1644 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1645 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1649 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1650 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1651 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1652 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1654 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1655 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1656 - added tests for this (rafl)
1658 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1659 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1660 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1661 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1665 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1666 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1669 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1670 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1671 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1673 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1675 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1676 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1678 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1679 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1680 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1681 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1682 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1684 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1685 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1686 error message did not specify the attribute name
1689 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1691 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1693 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1694 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1695 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1697 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1698 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1701 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1703 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1704 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1705 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1706 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1708 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1710 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1711 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1712 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1713 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1716 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1717 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1719 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1720 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1721 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1722 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1723 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1725 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1726 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1727 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1728 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1729 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1731 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1732 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1733 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1734 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1735 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1736 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1738 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1739 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1740 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1741 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1742 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1743 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1745 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1746 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1748 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1749 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1750 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1751 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1753 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1754 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1757 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1761 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1762 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1764 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1765 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1766 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1767 guts. (nothingmuch).
1769 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1770 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1771 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1773 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1774 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1775 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1776 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1778 * Moose::Meta::Class
1779 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1782 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1783 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1785 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1786 * Moose::Unsweetened
1787 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1790 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1791 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1792 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1793 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1794 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1795 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1797 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1798 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1799 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1800 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1801 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1802 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1803 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1804 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1805 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1806 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1808 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1810 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1811 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1813 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1814 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1815 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1816 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1818 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1819 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1820 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1821 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1822 same methods for a single role did not work
1823 right (worked just fine with multiple
1825 - added test for this (stevan)
1827 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1828 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1829 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1832 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1833 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1834 - added test for this (t0m)
1837 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1838 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1839 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1841 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1842 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1843 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1844 - added test for this (t0m)
1846 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1847 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1848 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1849 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1850 - added test for this (perigrin)
1853 - create method for constructing a role
1854 dynamically (Sartak)
1855 - added test for this (Sartak)
1856 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1857 - added test for this (Sartak)
1860 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1862 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1863 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1864 methods is useful (Sartak)
1866 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1867 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1868 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1871 * Moose::Meta::Class
1872 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1873 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1874 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1875 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1876 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1877 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1880 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1881 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1883 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1884 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1885 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1886 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1887 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1889 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1891 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1892 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1893 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1896 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1897 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1898 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1899 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1900 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1901 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1904 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1905 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1906 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1907 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1908 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1909 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1910 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1911 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1912 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1913 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1914 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1916 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1917 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1920 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1921 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1922 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1923 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1924 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1926 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1928 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1929 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1930 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1932 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1933 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1935 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1936 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1937 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1938 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1941 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1942 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1944 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1946 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1947 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1949 * Moose::Meta::Class
1950 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1951 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1952 a required attribute
1954 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1955 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1956 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1957 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1959 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1960 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1962 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1963 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1964 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1965 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1966 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1967 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1968 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1969 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1971 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1972 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1973 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1975 * Roles and role application
1976 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1977 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1978 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1979 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1980 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1982 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1983 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1986 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1987 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1988 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1989 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1990 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1993 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1994 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1995 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1996 changes in the Moose internals.
1998 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1999 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2000 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2003 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2004 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2005 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2006 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2008 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2009 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2010 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2011 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2013 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2014 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2015 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2016 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2017 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2018 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2019 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2020 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2021 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2022 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2023 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2024 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2025 constraint implementations.
2027 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2031 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2032 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2033 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2034 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2035 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2036 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2037 - added tests for this (rafl)
2039 * Moose::Meta::Class
2040 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2041 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2042 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2043 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2044 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2045 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2046 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2047 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2050 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2051 - added tests for this (thepler)
2053 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2054 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2055 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2056 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2059 * Moose::Meta::Class
2060 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2061 * Moose::Meta::Method
2064 * Moose::Error::Default
2065 * Moose::Error::Croak
2066 * Moose::Error::Confess
2067 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2068 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2069 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2070 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2071 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2072 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2074 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2076 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2077 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2079 * Moose::Unsweetened
2080 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2081 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2082 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2084 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2085 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2086 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent

2088 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2091 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2092 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2094 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2095 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2096 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2097 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2144 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2145 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2146 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2147 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2148 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2150 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2151 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

2187 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2188 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2190 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2271 ... this is not my day today ...
2273 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2274 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2275 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2276 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2277 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2280 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2281 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2282 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2284 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2287 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2289 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2290 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2322 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2323 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2324 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2325 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2326 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2327 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2328 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2329 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2330 - added tests for this
2332 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2333 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2334 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2443 XS based functionality is now optional
2444 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2808 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2809 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2810 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2811 method in the first place ;)
2813 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008

2874 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2876 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2877 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2878 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2917 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2918 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2921 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2922 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2923 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2924 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2940 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2941 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2960 - added tests for this
2963 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2964 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3003 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3006 - fixed how required methods are handled
3007 when they encounter overriden or modified
3008 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3009 - added tests for this
3011 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3012 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3013 the | always creates a union and so is
3014 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3015 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3017 - added more tests for this
3019 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3022 * Parameterized Types
3023 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3024 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3025 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3026 They can also be nested:
3027 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3028 And work with the type unions as well:
3029 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3031 * Better Framework Extendability
3032 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3033 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3034 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3035 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3038 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3039 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3040 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3041 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3044 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3046 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3047 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3107 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3109 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3199 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3200 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3201 prototypes for functions
3202 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3203 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3218 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3219 - added tests for this
3221 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3223 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3249 so this release is just to fix that.
3252 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3253 to create multiple attrs (see docs)

3266 functions to facilitate introspection.
3268 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3269 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3270 to build the list of delegated methods
3271 correctly (and not override important
3272 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3274 - added tests and docs for this
3275 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3276 so that you can actually document your
3277 attributes and inspect them through the
3279 - added tests and docs for this
3281 * Moose::Meta::Class
3282 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3283 it will first look in for the class in the
3284 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3285 then default to just loading $name.
3286 - added tests and docs for this
3288 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3289 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3290 - added test for this
3293 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3294 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3295 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3296 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3298 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3299 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3302 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3304 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3305 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3306 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3309 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3310 !! for this developer release to work !!
3312 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3313 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3314 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3315 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3316 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3317 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3318 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3319 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3320 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3321 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3322 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3324 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3325 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3326 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3327 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3330 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3331 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3332 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3333 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3334 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3336 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3338 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3339 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3342 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3343 called unless they actually need to be.
3344 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3345 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3346 DEMOLISH method present.
3348 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3349 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3350 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3351 type constraint, which allows for a
3352 hand optimized version of the type
3353 constraint to be used when possible.
3354 - Any internally created type constraints
3355 now provide an optimized version as well.
3357 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3359 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3360 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3361 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3364 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3365 your class namespace of these exported
3368 * Moose::Meta::Class
3369 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3370 comes up during global destruction
3372 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3376 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3380 - changed how we do type checks so that
3381 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3384 - moved accessor generation methods to
3385 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3386 conform to the API changes from
3389 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3390 - changed how constraints are compiled
3391 so that we do less recursion and more
3392 iteration. This makes the type check
3394 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3397 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3398 - created this from methods formerly found in
3399 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3401 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3402 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3404 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3405 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3407 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3408 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3410 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3412 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3413 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3414 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3415 - added tests for this
3416 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3417 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3418 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3419 - removed tests for this
3421 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3423 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3424 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3425 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3428 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3429 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3430 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3432 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3433 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3434 comments for more info.
3437 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3438 asked questions and common problems
3440 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3441 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3442 - added tests for this
3444 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3445 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3446 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3447 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3449 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3450 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3453 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3454 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3455 is much appreciated :)
3456 - added tests for this
3458 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3459 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3460 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3463 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3464 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3466 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3468 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3469 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3473 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3474 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3475 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3477 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3479 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3482 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3483 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3484 keywords because we need to localize them.
3485 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3487 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3488 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3489 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3492 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3495 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3496 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3497 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3500 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3501 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3502 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3504 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3506 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3507 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3508 bottom of your class file.
3511 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3514 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3516 - improved error message when loading modules so
3517 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3518 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3519 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3522 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3523 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3524 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3527 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3529 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3530 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3531 turn them on for you.
3532 - added tests for this
3533 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3534 in Moose::Meta::Class
3537 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3538 automatically turned on for you.

3542 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3543 - added tests for this

3557 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3560 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3561 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3562 - This release works in combination with
3563 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3564 release because it uses the a new
3565 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3566 complete Role implementation. It has
3567 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3568 the the previous CPAN version. This
3569 release also lacks good updated docs,
3570 the official release will have updated docs.
3573 - refactored the keyword exports
3574 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3575 accepts more than one Role at a time
3576 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3577 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3580 - refactored the keyword exports
3581 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3582 accepts more than one Role at a time
3584 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3585 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3586 string enumerations which can be used as
3588 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3591 - more careful checking of params to new()
3594 - much work done on the role composition
3595 - many new tests for conflict detection
3596 and composition edge cases
3597 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3598 looking at the tests
3600 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3601 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3602 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3604 * Moose::Meta::Class
3605 - some small changes to support the new
3607 - some small additions to support Roles
3609 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3610 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3612 - some small changes to support the new
3614 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3615 with the 'handles' option
3616 - added several tests for this
3617 - no docs for this yet
3619 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3621 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3622 thanks to chansen for this commit
3623 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3624 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3625 on a per-attribute basis
3626 - added tests for this
3627 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3628 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3629 experimental feature and probably not finished
