1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
9 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
11 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
15 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
17 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
21 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
23 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
24 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
26 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
30 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
31 skips every other role. (rjbs)
33 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
34 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
35 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
36 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
37 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
39 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
43 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
44 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
45 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
48 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
53 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
55 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
56 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
58 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
62 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
63 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
64 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
68 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
69 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
71 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
72 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
74 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
75 environments. (doy, mateu)
77 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
81 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
82 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
83 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
84 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
88 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
89 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
91 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
95 * Update conflicts list.
98 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
102 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
103 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
104 details. (Dave Rolsky)
106 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
107 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
108 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
109 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
110 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
114 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
115 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
116 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
117 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
118 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
121 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
125 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
126 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
128 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
131 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
135 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
136 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
137 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
138 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
140 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
141 immutable classes). (mo)
143 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
144 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
145 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
147 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
151 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
153 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
155 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
159 * Fix some indexing issues.
161 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
163 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
167 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
168 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
169 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
170 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
171 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
173 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
174 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
179 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
180 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
181 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
182 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
184 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
185 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
186 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
190 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
191 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
194 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
198 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
199 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
203 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
207 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
208 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
209 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
210 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
213 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
217 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
220 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
224 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
225 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
226 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
229 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
233 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
234 policy. (Chris Prather)
236 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
237 on this new support policy. (doy)
241 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
242 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
243 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
245 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
246 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
248 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
252 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
253 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
254 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
255 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
258 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
262 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
263 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
266 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
270 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
271 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
273 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
274 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
278 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
279 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
280 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
281 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
282 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
283 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
285 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
286 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
288 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
289 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
290 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
291 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
293 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
294 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
296 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
301 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
302 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
304 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
308 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
309 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
310 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
312 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
316 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
317 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
318 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
320 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
321 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
324 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
325 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
328 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
329 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
330 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
332 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
333 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
338 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
339 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
340 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
341 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
343 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
344 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
346 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
347 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
349 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
350 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
351 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
352 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
354 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
355 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
356 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
359 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
360 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
361 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
362 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
364 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
365 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
368 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
369 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
370 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
372 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
376 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
377 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
378 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
380 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
381 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
382 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
385 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
386 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
387 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
389 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
390 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
391 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
393 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
394 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
398 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
399 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
400 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
402 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
403 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
404 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
405 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
407 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
411 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
412 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
413 value is a reference.
415 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
416 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
418 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
422 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
423 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
424 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
426 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
430 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
431 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
435 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
436 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
437 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
439 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
440 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
441 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
443 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
447 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
449 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
453 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
455 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
456 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
461 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
462 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
464 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
465 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
466 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
467 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
468 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
470 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
471 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
472 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
473 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
475 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
479 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
480 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
485 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
487 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
489 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
494 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
496 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
500 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
501 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
502 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
504 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
505 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
506 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
507 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
509 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
510 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
511 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
512 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
513 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
516 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
521 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
522 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
523 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
524 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
525 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
528 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
532 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
535 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
536 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
540 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
541 function (not just method). (doy)
545 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
546 and aren't easily installable/testable.
548 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
552 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
553 to be overridden more easily (doy).
555 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
559 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
560 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
562 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
566 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
567 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
568 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
570 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
574 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
575 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
576 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
578 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
579 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
583 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
584 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
586 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
587 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
591 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
592 is applied to a class (t0m).
594 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
595 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
597 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
600 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
601 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
603 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
604 be much more robust. (doy)
606 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
608 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
611 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
615 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
616 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
618 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
622 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
623 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
625 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
628 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
629 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
630 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
632 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
633 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
634 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
637 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
639 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
643 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
644 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
648 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
650 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
654 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
655 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
659 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
660 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
664 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
666 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
670 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
671 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
675 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
676 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
680 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
681 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
683 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
687 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
688 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
689 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
692 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
696 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
697 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
698 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
699 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
701 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
705 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
706 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
707 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
711 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
714 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
718 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
719 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
720 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
724 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
725 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
727 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
728 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
729 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
730 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
732 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
736 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
740 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
741 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
743 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
744 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
745 - Moose::Util::does_role
746 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
747 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
748 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
750 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
754 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
755 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
756 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
759 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
763 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
764 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
767 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
771 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
772 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
775 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
779 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
781 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
782 class. (Dave Rolsky).
784 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
785 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
786 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
788 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
789 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
790 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
793 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
794 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
796 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
797 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
798 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
800 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
802 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
803 substr et al, again. (sorear)
805 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
807 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
810 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
811 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
813 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
814 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
816 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
817 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
818 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
819 dependencies installed.
821 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
822 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
825 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
827 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
831 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
833 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
834 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
835 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
837 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
838 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
839 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
841 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
842 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
845 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
846 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
847 others. (nothingmuch)
849 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
850 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
851 remove_accessors. (doy)
853 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
854 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
855 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
857 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
858 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
860 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
862 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
863 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
866 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
867 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
869 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
870 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
872 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
874 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
875 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
878 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
879 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
880 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
881 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
882 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
884 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
886 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
887 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
888 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
889 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
890 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
893 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
894 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
895 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
896 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
897 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
899 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
900 which were not receiving the value of
901 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
902 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
903 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
904 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
908 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
909 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
910 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
911 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
912 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
915 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
916 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
917 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
918 - added tests for this (Stevan)
921 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
922 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
923 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
926 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
927 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
928 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
930 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
931 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
932 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
935 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
936 class if you pass it options for
937 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
938 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
939 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
940 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
941 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
942 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
943 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
944 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
945 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
947 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
948 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
949 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
950 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
951 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
954 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
955 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
956 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
957 existing delegation API. (hdp)
959 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
960 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
961 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
962 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
963 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
964 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
967 * Moose::Error::Croak
968 * Moose::Error::Confess
969 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
970 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
973 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
976 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
977 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
978 installing a broken sub. (doy)
981 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
984 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
985 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
986 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
988 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
989 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
990 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
991 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
992 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
994 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
995 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
998 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1000 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1001 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1004 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1005 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1008 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1009 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1010 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1012 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1013 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1014 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1015 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1016 using it for new code!
1018 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1019 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1020 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1021 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1023 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1024 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1025 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1026 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1027 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1028 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1029 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1030 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1033 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1036 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1037 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1040 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1041 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1043 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1044 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1045 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1047 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1048 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1049 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1050 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1052 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1053 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1054 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1056 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1057 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1058 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1061 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1062 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1063 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1064 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1065 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1066 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1068 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1070 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1073 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1074 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1075 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1077 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1078 associated_methods. (hdp)
1079 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1080 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1081 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1082 misspelled) arguments
1084 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1085 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1086 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1087 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1089 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1090 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1091 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1093 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1096 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1097 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1098 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1101 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1102 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1104 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1105 * Moose::Meta::Class
1106 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1107 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1109 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1110 * Moose::Manual::Types
1111 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1112 string parsing rathole (mst)
1114 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1115 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1116 using plain objects instead
1118 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1119 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1120 that's what we need.
1122 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1123 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1124 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1125 three times today (perigrin)
1126 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1127 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1129 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1130 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1131 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1132 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1135 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1136 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1137 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1138 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1139 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1140 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1143 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1144 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1145 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1146 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1149 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1151 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1154 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1156 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1159 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1160 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1161 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1165 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1166 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1169 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1170 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1172 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1173 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1174 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1176 * Moose::Unsweetened
1177 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1179 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1180 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1183 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1187 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1188 methods during global destruction (doy)
1190 * Moose::Meta::Class
1191 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1192 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1193 consumption (Sartak)
1195 * Moose::Meta::Class
1196 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1197 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1200 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1201 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1204 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1205 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1207 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1209 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1213 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1214 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1215 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1218 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1219 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1220 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1223 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1225 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1226 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1227 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1230 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1231 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1232 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1233 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1235 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1236 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1237 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1240 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1243 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1244 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1245 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1249 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1250 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1252 * Moose::Meta::Class
1253 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1255 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1257 * Moose::Meta::Class
1258 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1259 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1262 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1263 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1266 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1267 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1270 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1273 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1275 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1276 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1279 * Moose::Meta::Class
1280 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1282 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1283 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1286 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1287 * More deprecations and renamings
1288 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1289 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1290 when an object is constructed)
1293 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1294 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1295 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1297 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1298 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1299 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1300 feature, and it works again.
1303 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1305 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1307 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1308 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1309 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1311 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1312 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1313 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1314 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1315 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1317 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1318 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1319 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1320 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1321 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1324 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1325 metaclass object. (hdp)
1327 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1328 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1329 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1330 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1331 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1332 point out this fact. (hdp)
1334 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1335 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1337 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1338 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1340 * Moose::Meta::Class
1341 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1342 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1343 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1344 called during instance construction were passed the
1345 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1346 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1348 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1349 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1352 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1353 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1354 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1357 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1358 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1359 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1360 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1361 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1363 - Moose::Meta::Class
1364 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1366 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1367 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1368 when an object is constructed)
1369 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1371 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1372 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1373 when an object is constructed)
1374 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1375 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1376 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1379 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1381 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1382 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1384 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1386 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1387 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1388 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1390 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1391 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1392 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1394 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1396 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1397 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1399 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1400 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1403 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1404 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1407 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1408 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1409 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1411 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1412 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1416 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1417 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1418 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1420 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1421 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1424 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1425 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1426 with recommended workarounds.
1428 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1429 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1431 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1432 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1433 (yes, spelled like that).
1435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1436 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1438 * Moose::Meta::Class
1439 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1440 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1442 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1445 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1446 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1447 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1448 instead. Reported by doy.
1450 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1452 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1453 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1456 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1457 message) is now deprecated.
1458 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1459 often got it wrong. For example:
1461 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1463 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1467 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1468 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1469 bite you in weird cases.
1471 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1472 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1473 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1474 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1476 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1477 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1481 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1484 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1485 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1488 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1489 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1492 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1495 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1496 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1497 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1498 - added tests for this (stevan)
1500 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1501 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1502 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1503 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1507 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1508 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1509 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1510 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1512 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1513 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1514 - added tests for this (rafl)
1516 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1517 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1518 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1519 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1523 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1524 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1527 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1528 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1529 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1531 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1533 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1534 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1536 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1537 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1538 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1539 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1540 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1542 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1543 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1544 error message did not specify the attribute name
1547 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1549 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1551 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1552 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1553 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1555 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1556 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1559 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1561 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1562 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1563 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1564 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1566 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1568 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1569 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1570 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1571 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1573 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1574 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1575 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1577 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1578 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1579 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1580 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1581 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1583 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1584 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1585 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1586 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1587 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1589 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1590 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1591 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1592 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1593 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1594 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1596 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1597 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1598 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1599 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1600 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1601 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1603 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1604 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1606 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1607 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1608 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1609 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1611 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1612 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1615 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1619 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1620 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1622 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1623 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1624 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1625 guts. (nothingmuch).
1627 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1628 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1629 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1631 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1632 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1633 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1634 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1636 * Moose::Meta::Class
1637 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1640 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1641 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1643 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1644 * Moose::Unsweetened
1645 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1648 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1649 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1650 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1651 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1652 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1653 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1655 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1656 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1657 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1658 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1659 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1660 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1661 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1662 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1663 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1664 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1666 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1668 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1669 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1671 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1672 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1673 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1674 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1676 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1677 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1678 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1679 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1680 same methods for a single role did not work
1681 right (worked just fine with multiple
1683 - added test for this (stevan)
1685 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1686 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1687 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1690 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1691 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1692 - added test for this (t0m)
1695 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1696 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1697 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1699 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1700 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1701 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1702 - added test for this (t0m)
1704 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1705 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1706 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1707 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1708 - added test for this (perigrin)
1711 - create method for constructing a role
1712 dynamically (Sartak)
1713 - added test for this (Sartak)
1714 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1715 - added test for this (Sartak)
1718 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1720 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1721 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1722 methods is useful (Sartak)
1724 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1725 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1726 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1729 * Moose::Meta::Class
1730 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1731 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1732 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1733 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1734 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1735 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1738 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1739 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1741 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1742 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1743 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1744 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1745 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1747 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1749 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1750 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1751 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1754 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1755 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1756 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1757 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1758 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1759 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1762 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1763 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1764 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1765 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1766 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1767 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1768 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1769 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1770 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1771 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1772 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1774 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1775 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1778 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1779 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1780 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1781 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1782 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1784 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1786 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1787 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1788 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1791 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1793 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1794 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1795 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1796 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1799 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1800 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1802 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1804 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1805 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1807 * Moose::Meta::Class
1808 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1809 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1810 a required attribute
1812 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1813 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1814 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1815 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1817 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1818 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1820 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1821 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1822 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1823 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1824 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1825 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1826 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1827 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1829 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1830 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1831 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1833 * Roles and role application
1834 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1835 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1836 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1837 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1838 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1840 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1841 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1844 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1845 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1846 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1847 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1848 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1851 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1852 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1853 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1854 changes in the Moose internals.
1856 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1857 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1858 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1861 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1862 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1863 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1864 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1866 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1867 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1868 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1869 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1871 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1872 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1873 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1874 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1875 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1876 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1877 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1878 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1879 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1880 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1881 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1882 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1883 constraint implementations.
1885 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1889 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1890 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1891 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1892 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1893 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1894 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1895 - added tests for this (rafl)
1897 * Moose::Meta::Class
1898 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1899 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1900 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1901 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1902 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1903 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1904 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1905 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1908 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1909 - added tests for this (thepler)
1911 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1912 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1913 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1914 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1917 * Moose::Meta::Class
1918 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1919 * Moose::Meta::Method
1922 * Moose::Error::Default
1923 * Moose::Error::Croak
1924 * Moose::Error::Confess
1925 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1926 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1927 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1928 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1929 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1930 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1932 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1934 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1935 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1937 * Moose::Unsweetened
1938 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1939 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1940 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1942 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1943 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1944 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1945 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1946 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1949 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1950 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1952 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1953 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1954 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1955 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1958 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1960 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1961 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1963 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1966 - Various bug fixes.
1968 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1969 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1971 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1973 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1974 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1975 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1976 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1977 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1978 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1980 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1981 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1982 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1984 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1985 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1986 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1989 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1990 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1991 dependency to 0.64_07.
1993 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1994 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1995 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1997 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1998 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2001 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2002 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2003 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2004 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2005 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2006 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2008 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2009 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2011 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2013 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2014 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2018 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2019 method when that method was provided by another role being
2020 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2021 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2023 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2025 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2026 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2028 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2029 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2030 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2031 - added test for this (t0m)
2033 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2034 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2035 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2037 - added test for this (t0m)
2040 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2041 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2042 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2045 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2046 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2048 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2050 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2051 easier (Dave Rolsky)

2129 ... this is not my day today ...
2131 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2132 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2133 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2134 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2135 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2138 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2139 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2140 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2141 in this release, except the fact that it includes

2145 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2147 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2148 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2180 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2181 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2182 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2183 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2184 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2185 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2186 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2187 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2188 - added tests for this
2190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2191 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2301 XS based functionality is now optional
2302 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2751 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2752 - added tests for this
2754 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2756 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2757 types without having to explictly define them
2758 - added tests for this
2760 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2761 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2762 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2764 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2765 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2766 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2767 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2768 - added tests for this
2769 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2770 a single type at different times instead of
2771 having to do it all in one place
2772 - added tests for this
2774 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2775 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2776 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2779 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2780 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2781 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2782 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2783 new features above (although you cannot add
2784 more type coercions for Union types)
2786 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2787 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2788 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2790 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2791 - added tests for this.
2792 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2793 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2794 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2795 - added tests for this
2796 - added docs for this
2798 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2799 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2800 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2801 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2802 instead it will just return undef.
2803 - added docs for this
2805 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2817 with work correctly.
2818 - added tests for this
2821 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2822 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2825 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2826 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2827 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2829 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2830 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2841 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2843 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2861 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2864 - fixed how required methods are handled
2865 when they encounter overriden or modified
2866 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2867 - added tests for this
2869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2870 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2871 the | always creates a union and so is
2872 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2873 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2875 - added more tests for this
2877 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2880 * Parameterized Types
2881 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2882 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2883 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2884 They can also be nested:
2885 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2886 And work with the type unions as well:
2887 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2889 * Better Framework Extendability
2890 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2891 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2892 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2893 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2896 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2897 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2898 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2899 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2902 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2904 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2964 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2965 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2967 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2984 (thanks to shlomif).
2986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2987 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2988 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2989 - added tests for this

3046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3047 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3056 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3057 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3058 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3059 prototypes for functions
3060 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3061 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3071 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3074 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3075 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3076 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3077 - added tests for this
3079 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3081 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3099 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3100 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3102 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3103 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3105 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3106 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3107 so this release is just to fix that.
3110 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3111 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3112 (thanks to konobi for this)
3113 - added tests and docs
3115 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3116 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3118 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3119 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3120 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3121 - added tests for this

3123 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3124 functions to facilitate introspection.
3126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3127 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3128 to build the list of delegated methods
3129 correctly (and not override important
3130 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3132 - added tests and docs for this
3133 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3134 so that you can actually document your
3135 attributes and inspect them through the
3137 - added tests and docs for this
3139 * Moose::Meta::Class
3140 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3141 it will first look in for the class in the
3142 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3143 then default to just loading $name.
3144 - added tests and docs for this
3146 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3147 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3148 - added test for this
3151 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3152 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3153 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3154 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3156 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3157 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3160 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3162 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3163 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3164 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3167 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3168 !! for this developer release to work !!
3170 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3171 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3172 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3173 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3174 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3175 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3176 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3177 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3178 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3179 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3180 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3182 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3183 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3184 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3185 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3188 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3189 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3190 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3191 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3192 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3194 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3196 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3197 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3200 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3201 called unless they actually need to be.
3202 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3203 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3204 DEMOLISH method present.
3206 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3207 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3208 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3209 type constraint, which allows for a
3210 hand optimized version of the type
3211 constraint to be used when possible.
3212 - Any internally created type constraints
3213 now provide an optimized version as well.
3215 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3217 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3218 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3219 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3221 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3222 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3223 your class namespace of these exported
3226 * Moose::Meta::Class
3227 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3228 comes up during global destruction
3230 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3234 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3238 - changed how we do type checks so that
3239 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3242 - moved accessor generation methods to
3243 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3244 conform to the API changes from
3247 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3248 - changed how constraints are compiled
3249 so that we do less recursion and more
3250 iteration. This makes the type check
3252 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3255 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3256 - created this from methods formerly found in
3257 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3259 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3260 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3262 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3263 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3265 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3266 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3268 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3271 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3272 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3273 - added tests for this
3274 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3275 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3276 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3277 - removed tests for this
3279 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3281 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3282 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3283 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3286 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3287 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3288 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3290 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3291 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3292 comments for more info.
3295 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3296 asked questions and common problems
3298 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3299 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3300 - added tests for this
3302 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3303 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3304 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3305 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3307 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3308 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3311 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3312 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3313 is much appreciated :)
3314 - added tests for this
3316 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3317 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3318 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3321 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3322 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3324 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3326 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3327 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3331 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3332 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3333 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3335 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3337 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3340 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3341 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3342 keywords because we need to localize them.
3343 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3345 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3346 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3347 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3350 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3353 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3354 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3355 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3358 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3359 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3360 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3362 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3364 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3365 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3366 bottom of your class file.
3369 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3372 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3374 - improved error message when loading modules so
3375 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3376 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3377 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3380 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3381 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3382 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3384 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3385 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3387 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3388 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3389 turn them on for you.
3390 - added tests for this
3391 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3392 in Moose::Meta::Class
3395 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3396 automatically turned on for you.
3397 - added tests for this
3400 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3401 - added tests for this
3402 - added some more edge case tests

3415 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3418 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3419 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3420 - This release works in combination with
3421 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3422 release because it uses the a new
3423 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3424 complete Role implementation. It has
3425 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3426 the the previous CPAN version. This
3427 release also lacks good updated docs,
3428 the official release will have updated docs.
3431 - refactored the keyword exports
3432 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3433 accepts more than one Role at a time
3434 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3435 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3438 - refactored the keyword exports
3439 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3440 accepts more than one Role at a time
3442 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3443 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3444 string enumerations which can be used as
3446 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3449 - more careful checking of params to new()
3452 - much work done on the role composition
3453 - many new tests for conflict detection
3454 and composition edge cases
3455 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3456 looking at the tests

3479 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3480 thanks to chansen for this commit
