1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
9 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
13 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
14 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
15 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
17 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their
18 behavior. Previously, they returned true if any of their member types
19 returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must return
20 true. Fixes RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
24 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
25 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
26 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
27 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
30 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
34 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
35 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
38 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
39 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. Fixes
40 RT 69988. (Dave Rolsky)
42 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
43 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
44 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. Fixes RT 60583. (doy)
46 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
47 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
50 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
51 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
52 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
56 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
57 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
58 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
59 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
61 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
65 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
66 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
67 the attribute's reference.
71 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
72 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
76 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
77 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
78 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
81 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
82 the Object constraint).
84 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
88 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
89 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
94 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
96 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
100 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
103 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
105 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
109 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
111 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
115 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
118 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
119 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
120 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
122 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
125 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
129 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
131 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
135 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
137 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
141 * Include changes from 2.0010.
143 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
147 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
148 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
152 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
153 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
154 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
159 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
161 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
165 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
166 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
168 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
172 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
174 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
178 * Various packaging issues.
180 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
184 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
185 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
190 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
191 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
192 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
196 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
197 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
198 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
200 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
204 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
205 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
207 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
211 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
212 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
214 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
217 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
218 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
222 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
223 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
225 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
229 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
230 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
234 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
236 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
240 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
242 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
246 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
247 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
249 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
253 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
255 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
259 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
261 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
262 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
264 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
268 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
269 skips every other role. (rjbs)
271 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
272 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
273 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
274 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
275 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
277 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
281 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
282 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
283 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
286 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
291 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
293 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
294 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
296 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
300 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
301 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
302 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
306 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
307 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
309 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
310 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
312 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
313 environments. (doy, mateu)
315 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
319 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
320 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
321 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
322 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
326 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
327 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
329 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
333 * Update conflicts list.
336 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
340 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
341 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
342 details. (Dave Rolsky)
344 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
345 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
346 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
347 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
348 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
352 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
353 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
354 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
355 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
356 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
359 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
363 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
364 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
366 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
369 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
373 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
374 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
375 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
376 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
378 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
379 immutable classes). (mo)
381 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
382 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
383 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
385 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
389 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
391 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
393 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
397 * Fix some indexing issues.
399 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
401 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
405 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
406 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
407 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
408 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
409 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
411 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
412 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
417 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
418 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
419 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
420 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
422 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
423 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
424 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
428 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
429 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
432 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
436 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
437 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
441 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
445 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
446 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
447 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
448 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
451 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
455 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
458 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
462 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
463 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
464 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
467 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
471 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
472 policy. (Chris Prather)
474 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
475 on this new support policy. (doy)
479 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
480 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
481 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
483 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
484 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
486 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
490 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
491 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
492 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
493 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
496 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
500 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
501 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
504 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
508 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
509 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
511 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
512 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
516 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
517 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
518 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
519 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
520 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
521 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
523 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
524 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
526 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
527 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
528 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
529 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
531 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
532 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
534 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
539 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
540 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
542 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
546 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
547 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
548 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
550 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
554 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
555 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
556 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
558 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
559 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
562 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
563 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
566 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
567 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
568 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
570 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
571 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
576 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
577 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
578 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
579 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
581 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
582 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
584 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
585 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
587 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
588 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
589 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
590 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
592 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
593 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
594 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
597 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
598 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
599 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
600 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
602 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
603 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
606 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
607 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
608 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
610 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
614 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
615 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
616 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
618 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
619 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
620 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
623 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
624 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
625 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
627 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
628 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
629 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
631 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
632 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
636 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
637 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
638 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
640 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
641 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
642 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
643 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
645 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
649 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
650 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
651 value is a reference.
653 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
654 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
656 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
660 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
661 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
662 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
664 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
668 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
669 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
673 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
674 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
675 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
677 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
678 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
679 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
681 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
685 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
687 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
691 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
693 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
694 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
699 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
700 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
702 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
703 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
704 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
705 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
706 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
708 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
709 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
710 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
711 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
713 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
717 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
718 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
723 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
725 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
727 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
732 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
734 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
738 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
739 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
740 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
742 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
743 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
744 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
745 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
747 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
748 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
749 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
750 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
751 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
754 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
759 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
760 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
761 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
762 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
763 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
766 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
770 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
773 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
774 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
778 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
779 function (not just method). (doy)
783 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
784 and aren't easily installable/testable.
786 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
790 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
791 to be overridden more easily (doy).
793 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
797 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
798 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
800 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
804 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
805 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
806 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
808 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
812 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
813 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
814 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
816 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
817 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
821 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
822 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
824 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
825 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
829 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
830 is applied to a class (t0m).
832 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
833 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
835 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
838 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
839 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
841 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
842 be much more robust. (doy)
844 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
846 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
849 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
853 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
854 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
856 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
860 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
861 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
863 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
866 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
867 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
868 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
870 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
871 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
872 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
875 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
877 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
881 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
882 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
886 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
888 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
893 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
897 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
898 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
902 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
904 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
908 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
909 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
913 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
914 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
918 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
919 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
921 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
925 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
926 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
927 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
930 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
934 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
935 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
936 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
937 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
939 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
943 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
944 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
945 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
949 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
952 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
957 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
958 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
962 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
963 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
965 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
966 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
967 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
968 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
970 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
974 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
978 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
979 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
981 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
982 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
983 - Moose::Util::does_role
984 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
985 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
986 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
988 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
992 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
993 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
994 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
997 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1001 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1002 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1005 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1009 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1010 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1013 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1017 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1019 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1020 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1022 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1023 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1024 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1026 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1027 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1028 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1031 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1032 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1034 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1035 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1036 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1038 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1040 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1041 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1043 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1045 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1048 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1049 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1051 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1052 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1054 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1055 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1056 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1057 dependencies installed.
1059 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1060 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1063 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1065 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1069 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1071 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1072 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1073 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1075 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1076 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1077 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1079 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1080 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1083 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1084 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1085 others. (nothingmuch)
1087 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1088 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1089 remove_accessors. (doy)
1091 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1092 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1093 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1095 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1096 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1098 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1099 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1100 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1101 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1103 * Moose::Meta::Class
1104 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1105 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1108 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1110 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1112 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1113 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1116 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1117 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1118 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1119 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1120 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1122 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1124 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1125 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1126 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1127 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1128 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1131 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1132 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1133 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1134 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1135 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1137 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1138 which were not receiving the value of
1139 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1140 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1141 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1142 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1146 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1147 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1148 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1149 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1150 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1153 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1154 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1155 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1156 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1158 * Moose::Meta::Class
1159 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1160 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1161 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1164 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1166 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1169 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1170 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1173 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1174 class if you pass it options for
1175 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1176 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1177 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1178 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1179 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1180 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1181 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1182 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1183 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1185 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1186 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1187 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1188 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1189 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1192 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1193 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1194 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1195 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1198 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1199 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1200 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1201 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1202 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1205 * Moose::Error::Croak
1206 * Moose::Error::Confess
1207 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1208 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1211 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1214 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1215 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1216 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1218 * Moose::Meta::Class
1219 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1222 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1223 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1224 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1226 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1227 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1228 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1229 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1230 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1233 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1236 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1238 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1239 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1242 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1243 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1246 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1247 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1248 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1250 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1251 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1252 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1253 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1254 using it for new code!
1256 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1257 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1258 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1259 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1261 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1262 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1263 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1264 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1265 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1266 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1267 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1268 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1271 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1274 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1275 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1279 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1281 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1282 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1283 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1285 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1286 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1287 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1288 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1290 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1291 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1292 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1294 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1295 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1296 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1299 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1300 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1301 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1302 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1303 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1304 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1306 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1308 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1311 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1312 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1313 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1315 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1316 associated_methods. (hdp)
1317 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1318 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1319 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1320 misspelled) arguments
1322 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1323 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1324 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1325 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1327 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1328 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1329 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1331 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1335 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1336 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1339 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1340 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1342 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1343 * Moose::Meta::Class
1344 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1345 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1347 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1348 * Moose::Manual::Types
1349 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1350 string parsing rathole (mst)
1352 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1353 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1354 using plain objects instead
1356 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1357 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1358 that's what we need.
1360 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1361 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1362 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1363 three times today (perigrin)
1364 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1365 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1368 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1369 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1370 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1373 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1374 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1375 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1376 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1377 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1378 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1381 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1382 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1383 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1384 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1387 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1389 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1392 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1394 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1397 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1398 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1399 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1403 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1404 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1407 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1408 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1410 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1411 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1412 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1414 * Moose::Unsweetened
1415 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1417 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1418 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1421 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1425 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1426 methods during global destruction (doy)
1428 * Moose::Meta::Class
1429 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1430 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1431 consumption (Sartak)
1433 * Moose::Meta::Class
1434 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1435 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1438 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1439 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1442 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1443 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1445 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1447 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1451 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1452 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1453 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1456 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1457 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1458 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1461 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1463 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1465 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1468 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1469 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1470 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1471 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1473 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1474 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1475 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1478 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1481 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1482 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1483 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1487 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1488 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1490 * Moose::Meta::Class
1491 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1493 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1495 * Moose::Meta::Class
1496 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1497 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1500 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1501 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1504 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1505 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1508 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1511 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1513 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1514 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1517 * Moose::Meta::Class
1518 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1520 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1521 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1524 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1525 * More deprecations and renamings
1526 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1527 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1528 when an object is constructed)
1531 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1532 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1533 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1535 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1536 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1537 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1538 feature, and it works again.
1541 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1543 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1545 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1546 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1547 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1549 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1550 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1551 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1552 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1553 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1555 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1556 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1557 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1558 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1559 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1562 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1563 metaclass object. (hdp)
1565 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1566 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1567 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1568 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1569 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1570 point out this fact. (hdp)
1572 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1573 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1575 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1576 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1578 * Moose::Meta::Class
1579 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1580 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1581 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1582 called during instance construction were passed the
1583 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1584 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1586 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1587 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1590 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1591 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1592 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1595 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1596 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1597 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1598 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1599 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1601 - Moose::Meta::Class
1602 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1604 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1605 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1606 when an object is constructed)
1607 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1609 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1610 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1611 when an object is constructed)
1612 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1613 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1614 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1617 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1619 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1620 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1622 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1624 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1625 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1626 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1628 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1629 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1630 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1632 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1634 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1635 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1637 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1638 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1641 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1642 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1645 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1646 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1647 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1649 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1650 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1654 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1655 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1656 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1658 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1659 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1662 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1663 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1664 with recommended workarounds.
1666 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1667 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1669 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1670 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1671 (yes, spelled like that).
1673 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1674 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1676 * Moose::Meta::Class
1677 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1678 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1680 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1682 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1683 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1684 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1685 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1686 instead. Reported by doy.
1688 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1690 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1691 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1693 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1694 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1695 message) is now deprecated.
1696 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1697 often got it wrong. For example:
1699 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1701 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1705 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1706 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1707 bite you in weird cases.
1709 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1710 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1711 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1712 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1714 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1715 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1719 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1722 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1723 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1726 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1727 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1729 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1730 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1733 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1734 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1735 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1736 - added tests for this (stevan)
1738 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1739 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1740 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1741 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1745 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1746 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1747 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1748 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1750 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1751 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1752 - added tests for this (rafl)
1754 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1755 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1756 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1757 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1761 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1762 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1765 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1766 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1767 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1769 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1771 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1772 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1774 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1775 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1776 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1777 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1778 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1780 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1781 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1782 error message did not specify the attribute name
1785 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1787 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1789 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1790 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1791 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1793 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1794 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1797 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1799 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1800 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1801 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1802 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1804 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1806 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1807 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1808 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1809 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1811 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1812 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1813 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1815 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1816 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1817 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1818 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1819 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1821 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1822 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1823 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1824 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1825 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1827 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1828 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1829 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1830 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1831 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1832 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1834 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1835 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1836 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1837 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1838 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1839 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1841 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1842 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1844 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1845 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1846 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1847 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1850 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1853 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1857 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1858 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1860 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1861 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1862 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1863 guts. (nothingmuch).
1865 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1866 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1867 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1869 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1870 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1871 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1872 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1874 * Moose::Meta::Class
1875 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1878 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1879 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1881 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1882 * Moose::Unsweetened
1883 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1886 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1887 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1888 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1889 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1890 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1891 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1893 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1894 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1895 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1896 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1897 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1898 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1899 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1900 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1901 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1902 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1904 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1906 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1907 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1909 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1910 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1911 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1912 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1914 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1915 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1916 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1917 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1918 same methods for a single role did not work
1919 right (worked just fine with multiple
1921 - added test for this (stevan)
1923 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1924 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1925 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1928 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1929 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1930 - added test for this (t0m)
1933 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1934 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1935 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1937 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1938 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1939 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1940 - added test for this (t0m)
1942 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1943 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1944 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1945 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1946 - added test for this (perigrin)
1949 - create method for constructing a role
1950 dynamically (Sartak)
1951 - added test for this (Sartak)
1952 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1953 - added test for this (Sartak)
1956 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1958 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1959 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1960 methods is useful (Sartak)
1962 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1963 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1964 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1967 * Moose::Meta::Class
1968 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1969 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1970 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1971 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1972 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1973 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1976 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1977 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1979 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1980 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1981 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1982 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1983 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1985 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1987 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1988 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1989 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1992 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1993 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1994 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1995 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1996 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1997 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2000 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2001 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2002 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2003 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2004 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2005 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2006 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2007 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2008 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2009 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2010 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2012 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2013 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2017 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2018 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2019 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2020 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2022 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2024 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2025 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2026 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2028 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2029 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2031 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2032 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2033 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2034 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2037 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2038 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2040 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2042 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2043 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2045 * Moose::Meta::Class
2046 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2047 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2048 a required attribute
2050 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2051 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2052 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2053 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2055 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2056 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2058 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2059 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2060 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2061 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2062 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2063 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2064 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2065 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2067 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2068 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2069 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2071 * Roles and role application
2072 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2073 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2074 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2075 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2076 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2078 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2079 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2082 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2083 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2084 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2085 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2086 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2089 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2090 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2091 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2092 changes in the Moose internals.
2094 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2095 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2096 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2099 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2100 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2101 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2102 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2104 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2105 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2106 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2107 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2109 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2110 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2111 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2112 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2113 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2114 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2115 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2116 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2117 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2118 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2119 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2120 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2121 constraint implementations.
2123 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2127 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2128 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2129 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2130 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2131 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2132 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2133 - added tests for this (rafl)
2135 * Moose::Meta::Class
2136 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2137 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2138 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2139 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2140 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2141 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2142 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2143 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2146 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2147 - added tests for this (thepler)
2149 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2150 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2151 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2152 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2155 * Moose::Meta::Class
2156 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2157 * Moose::Meta::Method
2160 * Moose::Error::Default
2161 * Moose::Error::Croak
2162 * Moose::Error::Confess
2163 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2164 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2165 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2166 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2167 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2168 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2170 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2172 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2173 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2175 * Moose::Unsweetened
2176 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2177 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2178 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2180 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2181 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2182 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2183 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2184 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2187 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2188 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2190 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2191 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2192 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2193 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2212 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2213 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2214 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2215 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2216 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2235 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2236 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2239 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2240 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2241 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2242 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2243 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2244 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2246 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2247 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2249 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2251 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2252 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2256 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2257 method when that method was provided by another role being
2258 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2259 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2261 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2268 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2269 - added test for this (t0m)
2271 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2272 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2273 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2275 - added test for this (t0m)
2278 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2279 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2280 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2283 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2284 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2286 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2288 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2289 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2291 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2292 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2293 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2295 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2296 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2299 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

2302 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2306 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2307 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2308 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2312 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2313 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2314 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2317 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2321 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2323 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2325 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2327 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2328 created so that the process can be more easily

2354 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2355 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2358 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2359 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2363 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2364 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2366 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2367 ... this is not my day today ...
2369 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2370 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2371 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2372 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2373 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2376 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2377 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2378 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2379 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2380 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2383 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2385 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2386 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2387 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2388 this is not ever something you want to do
2389 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2390 - added tests for this (stevan)
2393 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2395 - added test for this
2397 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2404 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2406 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2407 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2408 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2411 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2413 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2415 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2418 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2419 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2420 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2421 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2422 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2423 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2424 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2425 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2426 - added tests for this
2428 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2429 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2430 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2431 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2433 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2489 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2493 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2495 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2496 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2498 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2499 (early morning release engineering)--
2501 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2502 which was causing the indexer to choke
2504 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2505 (late night release engineering)--
2507 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2508 changes in this release
2510 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

2516 since it is called so often by &meta
2518 * Moose::Meta::Class
2520 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2521 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2524 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2525 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2526 method for immutablization to check if the
2527 destructor object even needs to be created
2530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2531 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2532 - added more descriptive error message to help
2533 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2534 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2536 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2538 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2539 XS based functionality is now optional
2540 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2541 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2542 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2544 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2545 to take care of this, mostly we added
2546 support for the package_name and name
2547 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2548 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2549 support regexp matching of names
2550 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2551 - tests added for this
2552 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2553 is currently not supported in roles,
2554 but, ... patches welcome
2555 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2556 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2557 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2560 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2561 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2562 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2563 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2564 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2565 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2566 - added test for this
2568 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2569 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2570 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2573 * Moose::Meta::Class
2574 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2578 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2580 - added tests for this
2581 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2582 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2584 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2585 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2586 themselves parameterizable types
2588 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2589 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2590 called by the inlined immutable
2592 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2594 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2595 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2596 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2597 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2599 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2600 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2604 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was

2612 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2615 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2616 ->body when looping through the
2617 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2619 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2620 eating the $@ values, and so not
2621 working correctly, it still kind of
2622 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2623 - added tests for this
2625 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2626 - added new recipe for immutable
2627 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2629 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2643 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2645 drink more coffee before
2646 doing release engineering
2648 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2649 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2650 modules. This fixes that.

2653 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2654 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2663 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2664 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2666 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2667 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2668 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2669 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2675 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2676 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

2680 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2682 - added test for this
2684 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2763 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2765 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2805 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2807 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2808 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2809 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2810 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2811 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2813 - added more delegation tests
2814 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2815 support traits and their introspection.

3056 - added tests for this
3059 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3060 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3102 - fixed how required methods are handled
3103 when they encounter overriden or modified
3104 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3105 - added tests for this
3107 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3108 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3109 the | always creates a union and so is
3110 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3111 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3113 - added more tests for this
3115 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3118 * Parameterized Types
3119 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3120 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3121 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3122 They can also be nested:
3123 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3124 And work with the type unions as well:
3125 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3127 * Better Framework Extendability
3128 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3129 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3130 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3131 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3134 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3135 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3136 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3137 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3140 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3142 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

3371 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3372 so that you can actually document your
3373 attributes and inspect them through the

3377 * Moose::Meta::Class
3378 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3379 it will first look in for the class in the
3380 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3381 then default to just loading $name.
3382 - added tests and docs for this
3384 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3385 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3386 - added test for this
3389 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

3391 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3392 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3394 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3395 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3398 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3400 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3401 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3402 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3405 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3406 !! for this developer release to work !!
3408 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3409 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3410 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3411 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3412 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3413 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3414 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3415 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3416 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3417 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3418 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3420 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3421 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3422 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3423 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3426 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3427 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3428 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3429 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3430 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3432 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3434 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3435 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3438 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3439 called unless they actually need to be.
3440 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3441 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3442 DEMOLISH method present.
3444 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3445 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3446 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3447 type constraint, which allows for a
3448 hand optimized version of the type
3449 constraint to be used when possible.
3450 - Any internally created type constraints
3451 now provide an optimized version as well.
3453 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3455 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3456 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3457 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3459 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3460 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3461 your class namespace of these exported
3464 * Moose::Meta::Class
3465 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3466 comes up during global destruction
3468 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3472 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3475 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3476 - changed how we do type checks so that
3477 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3480 - moved accessor generation methods to
3481 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3482 conform to the API changes from
3485 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3486 - changed how constraints are compiled
3487 so that we do less recursion and more
3488 iteration. This makes the type check
3490 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3493 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3494 - created this from methods formerly found in
3495 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3497 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3498 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3500 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3501 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3503 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3504 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3506 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3508 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3509 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3510 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3511 - added tests for this
3512 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3513 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3514 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3515 - removed tests for this
3517 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3519 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3520 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3521 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3524 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3525 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3526 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3528 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3529 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3530 comments for more info.
3533 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3534 asked questions and common problems
3536 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3537 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3538 - added tests for this
3540 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3541 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3542 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3543 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3545 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3546 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3549 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3550 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3551 is much appreciated :)
3552 - added tests for this
3554 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3555 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3556 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3559 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3560 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3562 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3564 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3565 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3569 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3570 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3571 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3573 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3575 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3578 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3579 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3580 keywords because we need to localize them.
3581 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3583 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3584 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3585 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3588 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3591 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3592 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3593 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3596 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3597 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3598 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3600 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3602 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3603 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3604 bottom of your class file.
3607 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3610 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3612 - improved error message when loading modules so
3613 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3614 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3615 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3618 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3619 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3620 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3622 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3623 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3625 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3626 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3627 turn them on for you.
3628 - added tests for this
3629 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3630 in Moose::Meta::Class
3633 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3634 automatically turned on for you.

3638 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3639 - added tests for this

3653 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3656 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3657 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3658 - This release works in combination with
3659 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3660 release because it uses the a new
3661 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3662 complete Role implementation. It has
3663 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3664 the the previous CPAN version. This
3665 release also lacks good updated docs,
3666 the official release will have updated docs.
3669 - refactored the keyword exports
3670 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3671 accepts more than one Role at a time
3672 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3673 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3676 - refactored the keyword exports
3677 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3678 accepts more than one Role at a time
3680 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3681 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3682 string enumerations which can be used as
3684 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3687 - more careful checking of params to new()
3690 - much work done on the role composition
3691 - many new tests for conflict detection
3692 and composition edge cases
3693 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3694 looking at the tests
3696 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3697 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3698 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3700 * Moose::Meta::Class
3701 - some small changes to support the new
3703 - some small additions to support Roles
3705 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3706 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3708 - some small changes to support the new
3710 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3711 with the 'handles' option
3712 - added several tests for this
3713 - no docs for this yet
3715 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3717 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3718 thanks to chansen for this commit
3719 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3720 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3721 on a per-attribute basis
3722 - added tests for this
3723 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3724 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3725 experimental feature and probably not finished
3726 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3727 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3728 - added tests for this
3731 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3743 construct_instance (for the better)
3745 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3790 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3792 - added test for this
