1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * mro::get_linear_isa is called as a function rather than a method
12 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
13 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
18 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
20 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
22 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
27 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
29 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
33 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
34 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
35 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
37 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
38 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
39 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
40 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
42 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
43 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
44 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
45 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
46 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
49 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
54 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
55 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
56 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
57 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
58 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
61 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
65 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
68 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
69 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
70 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
71 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
74 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
75 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
76 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
77 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
79 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
80 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
84 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
85 function (not just method). (doy)
89 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
90 and aren't easily installable/testable.
92 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
96 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
97 to be overridden more easily (doy).
99 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
103 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
104 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
106 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
110 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
111 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
112 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
114 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
118 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
119 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
120 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
122 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
123 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
127 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
128 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
130 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
131 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
135 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
136 is applied to a class (t0m).
138 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
139 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
141 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
144 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
145 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
147 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
148 be much more robust. (doy)
150 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
152 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
155 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
159 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
160 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
162 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
166 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
167 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
169 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
172 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
173 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
174 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
176 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
177 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
178 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
181 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
183 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
187 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
188 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
192 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
194 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
198 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
199 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
203 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
204 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
208 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
210 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
214 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
215 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
219 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
220 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
224 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
225 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
227 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
231 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
232 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
233 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
236 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
240 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
241 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
242 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
243 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
245 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
249 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
250 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
251 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
255 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
258 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
263 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
264 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
268 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
269 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
271 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
272 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
273 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
274 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
276 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
280 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
284 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
285 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
287 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
288 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
289 - Moose::Util::does_role
290 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
291 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
292 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
294 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
298 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
299 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
300 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
303 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
307 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
308 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
311 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
315 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
316 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
319 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
323 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
325 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
326 class. (Dave Rolsky).
328 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
329 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
330 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
332 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
333 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
334 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
337 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
338 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
340 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
341 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
342 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
344 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
346 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
347 substr et al, again. (sorear)
349 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
351 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
354 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
355 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
357 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
358 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
360 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
361 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
362 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
363 dependencies installed.
365 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
366 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
369 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
371 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
375 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
377 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
378 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
379 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
381 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
382 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
383 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
385 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
386 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
389 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
390 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
391 others. (nothingmuch)
393 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
394 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
395 remove_accessors. (doy)
397 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
398 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
399 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
401 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
402 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
404 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
405 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
406 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
407 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
410 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
411 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
413 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
414 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
416 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
418 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
419 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
422 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
423 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
424 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
425 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
426 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
428 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
429 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
430 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
431 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
432 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
433 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
434 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
437 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
438 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
439 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
440 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
441 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
443 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
444 which were not receiving the value of
445 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
446 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
447 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
448 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
452 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
453 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
454 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
455 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
456 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
459 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
460 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
461 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
462 - added tests for this (Stevan)
465 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
466 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
467 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
470 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
471 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
472 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
474 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
475 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
476 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
479 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
480 class if you pass it options for
481 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
482 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
483 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
484 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
485 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
486 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
487 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
488 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
489 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
491 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
492 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
493 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
494 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
495 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
498 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
499 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
500 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
501 existing delegation API. (hdp)
503 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
504 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
505 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
506 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
507 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
508 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
511 * Moose::Error::Croak
512 * Moose::Error::Confess
513 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
514 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
517 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
520 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
521 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
522 installing a broken sub. (doy)
525 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
528 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
529 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
530 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
532 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
533 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
534 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
535 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
536 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
538 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
539 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
542 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
544 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
545 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
548 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
549 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
551 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
552 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
553 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
554 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
556 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
557 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
558 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
559 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
560 using it for new code!
562 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
563 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
564 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
565 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
567 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
568 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
569 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
570 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
571 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
572 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
573 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
574 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
577 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
580 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
581 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
584 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
585 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
587 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
588 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
589 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
592 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
593 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
594 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
597 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
598 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
600 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
601 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
602 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
605 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
606 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
607 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
608 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
609 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
610 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
612 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
614 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
617 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
618 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
619 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
621 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
622 associated_methods. (hdp)
623 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
624 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
625 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
626 misspelled) arguments
628 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
629 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
630 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
631 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
633 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
634 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
635 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
637 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
640 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
641 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
642 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
645 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
646 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
648 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
650 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
651 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
653 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
654 * Moose::Manual::Types
655 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
656 string parsing rathole (mst)
658 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
659 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
660 using plain objects instead
662 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
663 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
666 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
668 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
669 three times today (perigrin)
670 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
671 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
673 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
674 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
675 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
676 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
679 - A role's required methods are now represented by
680 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
681 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
682 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
683 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
684 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
687 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
688 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
689 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
690 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
693 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
695 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
698 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
700 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
703 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
704 during global destruction. This method has been made more
705 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
709 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
710 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
713 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
714 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
716 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
717 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
718 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
721 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
723 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
724 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
727 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
731 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
732 methods during global destruction (doy)
735 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
736 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
740 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
741 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
744 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
745 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
748 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
749 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
751 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
753 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
757 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
758 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
759 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
762 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
763 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
764 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
767 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
769 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
770 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
771 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
774 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
775 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
776 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
777 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
779 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
780 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
781 of the Moose core (Sartak)
784 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
787 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
788 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
789 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
793 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
794 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
797 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
799 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
802 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
803 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
806 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
807 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
810 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
811 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
814 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
817 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
819 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
820 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
824 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
826 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
827 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
830 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
831 * More deprecations and renamings
832 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
833 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
834 when an object is constructed)
837 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
838 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
839 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
841 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
842 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
843 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
844 feature, and it works again.
847 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
849 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
851 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
852 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
853 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
855 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
856 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
857 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
858 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
859 message. Test provided by perigrin.
861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
862 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
863 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
864 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
865 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
868 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
869 metaclass object. (hdp)
871 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
872 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
873 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
874 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
875 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
876 point out this fact. (hdp)
878 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
879 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
881 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
882 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
885 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
886 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
887 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
888 called during instance construction were passed the
889 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
890 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
892 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
893 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
896 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
897 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
898 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
901 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
902 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
903 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
904 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
905 them, but they are not for "public" use.
908 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
910 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
911 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
912 when an object is constructed)
913 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
915 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
916 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
917 when an object is constructed)
918 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
919 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
920 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
923 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
925 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
926 * No changes from 0.72_01.
928 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
930 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
931 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
932 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
934 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
935 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
936 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
938 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
940 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
941 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
943 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
944 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
947 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
948 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
951 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
952 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
953 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
955 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
956 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
960 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
961 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
962 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
964 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
965 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
968 * Moose::Manual::Delta
969 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
970 with recommended workarounds.
972 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
973 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
975 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
976 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
977 (yes, spelled like that).
979 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
980 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
983 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
984 changes in latest Class::MOP.
986 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
988 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
989 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
990 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
991 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
992 instead. Reported by doy.
994 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
996 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
997 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1000 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1001 message) is now deprecated.
1002 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1003 often got it wrong. For example:
1005 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1007 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1011 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1012 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1013 bite you in weird cases.
1015 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1016 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1017 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1018 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1020 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1021 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1025 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1028 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1029 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1032 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1033 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1035 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1036 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1039 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1040 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1041 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1042 - added tests for this (stevan)
1044 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1045 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1046 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1047 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1051 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1052 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1053 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1054 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1056 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1057 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1058 - added tests for this (rafl)
1060 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1061 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1062 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1063 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1067 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1068 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1071 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1072 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1073 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1075 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1077 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1078 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1080 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1081 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1082 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1083 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1084 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1086 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1087 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1088 error message did not specify the attribute name
1091 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1093 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1095 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1096 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1097 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1099 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1100 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1103 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1105 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1106 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1107 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1108 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1110 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1112 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1113 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1114 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1115 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1118 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1119 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1121 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1122 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1123 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1124 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1125 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1127 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1128 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1129 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1130 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1131 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1133 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1134 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1135 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1136 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1137 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1138 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1140 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1141 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1142 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1143 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1144 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1145 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1147 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1148 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1150 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1151 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1152 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1153 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1155 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1156 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1159 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1163 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1164 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1166 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1167 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1168 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1169 guts. (nothingmuch).
1171 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1172 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1173 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1175 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1176 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1177 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1178 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1180 * Moose::Meta::Class
1181 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1184 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1185 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1187 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1188 * Moose::Unsweetened
1189 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1192 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1193 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1194 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1195 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1196 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1197 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1199 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1200 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1201 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1202 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1203 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1204 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1205 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1206 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1207 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1208 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1210 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1212 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1213 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1215 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1216 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1217 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1218 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1220 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1221 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1222 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1223 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1224 same methods for a single role did not work
1225 right (worked just fine with multiple
1227 - added test for this (stevan)
1229 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1230 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1231 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1234 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1235 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1236 - added test for this (t0m)
1239 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1240 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1241 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1243 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1244 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1245 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1246 - added test for this (t0m)
1248 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1249 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1250 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1251 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1252 - added test for this (perigrin)
1255 - create method for constructing a role
1256 dynamically (Sartak)
1257 - added test for this (Sartak)
1258 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1259 - added test for this (Sartak)
1262 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1264 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1265 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1266 methods is useful (Sartak)
1268 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1270 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1273 * Moose::Meta::Class
1274 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1275 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1276 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1277 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1278 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1279 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1282 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1283 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1285 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1286 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1287 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1288 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1289 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1291 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1293 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1294 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1295 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1298 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1299 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1300 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1301 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1302 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1303 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1306 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1307 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1308 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1309 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1310 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1311 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1312 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1313 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1314 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1315 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1316 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1318 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1319 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1322 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1323 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1324 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1325 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1326 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1328 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1330 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1331 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1332 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1334 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1335 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1337 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1338 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1339 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1340 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1343 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1344 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1346 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1348 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1349 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1351 * Moose::Meta::Class
1352 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1353 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1354 a required attribute
1356 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1357 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1358 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1359 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1361 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1362 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1364 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1365 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1366 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1367 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1368 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1369 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1370 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1371 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1373 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1374 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1375 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1377 * Roles and role application
1378 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1379 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1380 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1381 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1382 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1384 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1385 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1388 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1389 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1390 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1391 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1392 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1395 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1396 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1397 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1398 changes in the Moose internals.
1400 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1401 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1402 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1405 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1406 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1407 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1408 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1410 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1411 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1412 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1413 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1415 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1416 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1417 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1418 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1419 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1420 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1421 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1422 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1423 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1424 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1425 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1426 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1427 constraint implementations.
1429 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1433 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1434 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1435 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1436 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1437 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1438 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1439 - added tests for this (rafl)
1441 * Moose::Meta::Class
1442 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1443 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1444 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1445 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1446 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1447 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1448 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1449 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1452 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1453 - added tests for this (thepler)
1455 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1456 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1457 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1458 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1461 * Moose::Meta::Class
1462 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1463 * Moose::Meta::Method
1466 * Moose::Error::Default
1467 * Moose::Error::Croak
1468 * Moose::Error::Confess
1469 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1470 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1471 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1472 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1473 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1474 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1476 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1478 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1479 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1481 * Moose::Unsweetened
1482 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1483 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1484 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1486 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1487 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1488 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1489 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1490 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1493 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1494 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1496 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1497 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1498 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1499 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1502 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1504 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1505 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1507 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1510 - Various bug fixes.

1517 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1518 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1519 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1520 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1521 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1522 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

1535 dependency to 0.64_07.
1537 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1538 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1539 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1541 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1542 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1545 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1546 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1547 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1548 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1549 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1550 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1552 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1553 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1555 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1557 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1558 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1562 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1563 method when that method was provided by another role being
1564 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1565 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1567 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1574 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1575 - added test for this (t0m)
1577 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1578 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1579 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1581 - added test for this (t0m)
1584 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1585 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1586 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1589 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1590 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1592 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1594 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1595 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1597 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1598 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1599 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1601 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1602 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1605 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

1608 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1612 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1613 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1614 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1618 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1619 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1620 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1623 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1627 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1632 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1633 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1634 created so that the process can be more easily

1669 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1670 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1672 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1673 ... this is not my day today ...
1675 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1676 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1677 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1678 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1679 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1682 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1683 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1684 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1685 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1686 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1689 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1691 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1692 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1693 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1694 this is not ever something you want to do
1695 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1696 - added tests for this (stevan)
1699 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1701 - added test for this

1710 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1712 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1713 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1714 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1717 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1719 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1721 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1724 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1725 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1726 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1727 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1728 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1729 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1730 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1731 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1732 - added tests for this
1734 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1735 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1736 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1737 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1808 which was causing the indexer to choke
1810 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1811 (late night release engineering)--
1813 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1814 changes in this release

1827 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1830 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1831 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1832 method for immutablization to check if the
1833 destructor object even needs to be created
1836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1837 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1838 - added more descriptive error message to help
1839 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1840 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1842 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1844 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1845 XS based functionality is now optional
1846 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1847 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1848 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1850 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1851 to take care of this, mostly we added
1852 support for the package_name and name
1853 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1854 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1855 support regexp matching of names
1856 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1857 - tests added for this
1858 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1859 is currently not supported in roles,
1860 but, ... patches welcome
1861 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1862 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1863 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1866 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1867 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1868 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1869 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1870 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1871 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1872 - added test for this
1874 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1875 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1876 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1879 * Moose::Meta::Class
1880 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1884 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1886 - added tests for this
1887 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1888 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1890 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1891 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1892 themselves parameterizable types
1894 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1896 called by the inlined immutable
1898 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1900 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1901 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1902 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1903 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1905 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1906 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

1918 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1921 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1922 ->body when looping through the
1923 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1925 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1926 eating the $@ values, and so not
1927 working correctly, it still kind of
1928 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1929 - added tests for this
1931 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1932 - added new recipe for immutable
1933 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1935 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1951 drink more coffee before
1952 doing release engineering
1954 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1988 - added test for this
1990 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2069 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2071 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2072 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2073 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2074 officially support it.
2075 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2076 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2111 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2113 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2114 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2115 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2116 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2117 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2119 - added more delegation tests
2120 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2121 support traits and their introspection.
2122 - added tests for this

2278 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2279 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

2362 - added tests for this
2365 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2366 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2405 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2408 - fixed how required methods are handled
2409 when they encounter overriden or modified
2410 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2411 - added tests for this
2413 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2414 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2415 the | always creates a union and so is
2416 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2417 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2419 - added more tests for this
2421 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2424 * Parameterized Types
2425 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2426 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2427 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2428 They can also be nested:
2429 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2430 And work with the type unions as well:
2431 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2433 * Better Framework Extendability
2434 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2435 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2436 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2437 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2440 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2441 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2442 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2443 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2678 so that you can actually document your
2679 attributes and inspect them through the

2683 * Moose::Meta::Class
2684 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2685 it will first look in for the class in the

2687 then default to just loading $name.
2688 - added tests and docs for this
2690 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2691 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2692 - added test for this
2695 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2697 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2698 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2700 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2701 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2704 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2706 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2707 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2708 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2711 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2712 !! for this developer release to work !!
2714 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2715 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2716 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2717 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2718 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2719 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2720 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2721 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2722 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2723 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2724 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2726 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2727 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2728 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2729 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2732 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2733 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2734 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2735 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2736 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2738 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2740 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2741 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2744 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2745 called unless they actually need to be.
2746 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2747 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2748 DEMOLISH method present.
2750 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2751 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2752 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2753 type constraint, which allows for a
2754 hand optimized version of the type
2755 constraint to be used when possible.
2756 - Any internally created type constraints
2757 now provide an optimized version as well.
2759 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2761 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2762 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2763 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2765 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2766 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2767 your class namespace of these exported
2770 * Moose::Meta::Class
2771 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2772 comes up during global destruction
2774 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2778 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2781 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2782 - changed how we do type checks so that
2783 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2786 - moved accessor generation methods to
2787 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2788 conform to the API changes from
2791 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2792 - changed how constraints are compiled
2793 so that we do less recursion and more
2794 iteration. This makes the type check
2796 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2799 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2800 - created this from methods formerly found in
2801 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2803 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2804 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2806 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2807 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2809 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2810 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2812 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2814 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2815 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2816 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2817 - added tests for this
2818 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2819 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2820 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2821 - removed tests for this
2823 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2825 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2826 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2827 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2830 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2831 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2832 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2834 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2835 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2836 comments for more info.
2839 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2840 asked questions and common problems
2842 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2843 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2844 - added tests for this
2846 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2847 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2848 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2849 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2851 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2852 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2855 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2856 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2857 is much appreciated :)
2858 - added tests for this
2860 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2861 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2862 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2865 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2866 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2868 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2870 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2871 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2875 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2876 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2877 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2879 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2881 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2884 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2885 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2886 keywords because we need to localize them.
2887 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2889 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2890 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2891 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2894 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2897 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2898 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2899 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2902 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2903 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2904 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2906 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2908 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2909 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2910 bottom of your class file.
2913 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2916 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2918 - improved error message when loading modules so
2919 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2920 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2921 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2924 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2925 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2926 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2928 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2929 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2931 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2932 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2933 turn them on for you.
2934 - added tests for this
2935 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2936 in Moose::Meta::Class
2939 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2940 automatically turned on for you.

2962 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2963 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2964 - This release works in combination with
2965 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2966 release because it uses the a new
2967 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2968 complete Role implementation. It has
2969 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2970 the the previous CPAN version. This
2971 release also lacks good updated docs,
2972 the official release will have updated docs.
2975 - refactored the keyword exports
2976 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2977 accepts more than one Role at a time
2978 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2979 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2982 - refactored the keyword exports
2983 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2984 accepts more than one Role at a time
2986 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2987 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2988 string enumerations which can be used as
2990 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2993 - more careful checking of params to new()
2996 - much work done on the role composition
2997 - many new tests for conflict detection
2998 and composition edge cases
2999 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3000 looking at the tests
3002 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3003 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3004 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3006 * Moose::Meta::Class
3007 - some small changes to support the new
3009 - some small additions to support Roles
3011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3012 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3014 - some small changes to support the new
3016 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3017 with the 'handles' option
3018 - added several tests for this
3019 - no docs for this yet
3021 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3023 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3024 thanks to chansen for this commit
3025 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3026 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3027 on a per-attribute basis
3028 - added tests for this
3029 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3030 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3031 experimental feature and probably not finished

3033 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3034 - added tests for this

3049 construct_instance (for the better)
3051 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3096 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3098 - added test for this
