1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
4 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2009
6 - Portability fixes to compile with 5.8.8 with Visual C++. Fixes RT
7 #53391. Reported by Taro Nishin. (rafl)
9 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2009
11 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
12 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
14 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2009
16 - Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
19 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
20 - Major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish between
21 metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the Moose::Util::MetaRole
22 docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
25 - The unimport subs it generates now clean up re-exported functions like
26 blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from somewhere
29 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
30 - Changed Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets
31 from substr et al, again. (sorear)
32 - Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
34 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
35 - This recipe was broken. Fix suggested by jrey.
38 - Add Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports to allow easier testing
39 of TypeConsraints from the command line. (perigrin)
42 - Added a with_immutable test function, to run a block of tests with and
43 without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
46 - Use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors if
48 - Use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop test extraction and general
49 failures if you don't have the author side dependencies installed
51 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
52 - Grammar error [rt.cpan.org #51791] (Amir E. Aharoni)
54 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
56 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
60 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
62 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
63 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
64 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
66 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
67 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
68 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
70 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
71 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
74 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
75 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
78 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
79 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
80 remove_accessors. (doy)
82 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
83 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
84 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
86 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
87 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
89 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
90 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
91 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
92 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
95 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
96 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
98 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
99 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
101 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
103 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
104 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
107 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
108 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
109 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
110 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
111 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
113 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
115 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
116 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
117 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
118 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
119 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
122 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
123 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
124 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
125 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
126 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
128 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
129 which were not receiving the value of
130 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
131 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
132 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
133 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
137 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
138 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
139 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
140 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
141 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
144 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
145 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
146 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
147 - added tests for this (Stevan)
150 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
151 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
152 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
155 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
156 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
157 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
160 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
161 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
164 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
165 class if you pass it options for
166 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
167 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
168 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
169 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
170 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
171 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
172 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
173 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
174 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
176 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
177 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
178 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
179 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
180 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
183 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
184 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
185 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
186 existing delegation API. (hdp)
188 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
189 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
190 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
191 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
192 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
193 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
196 * Moose::Error::Croak
197 * Moose::Error::Confess
198 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
199 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
202 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
205 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
206 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
207 installing a broken sub. (doy)
210 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
213 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
214 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
215 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
217 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
218 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
219 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
220 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
221 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
224 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
227 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
229 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
230 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
233 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
234 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
237 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
238 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
239 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
241 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
242 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
243 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
244 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
245 using it for new code!
247 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
248 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
249 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
250 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
252 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
253 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
254 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
255 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
256 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
257 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
258 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
259 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
262 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
265 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
266 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
270 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
273 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
274 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
278 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
279 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
282 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
283 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
285 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
286 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
287 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
290 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
292 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
293 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
294 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
295 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
297 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
299 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
302 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
303 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
304 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
306 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
307 associated_methods. (hdp)
308 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
309 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
310 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
311 misspelled) arguments
313 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
314 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
315 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
316 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
318 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
319 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
320 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
322 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
325 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
326 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
327 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
330 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
331 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
333 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
335 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
336 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
338 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
339 * Moose::Manual::Types
340 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
341 string parsing rathole (mst)
343 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
344 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
345 using plain objects instead
347 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
348 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
351 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
353 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
354 three times today (perigrin)
355 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
356 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
358 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
359 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
360 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
361 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
364 - A role's required methods are now represented by
365 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
366 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
367 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
368 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
369 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
372 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
373 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
374 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
375 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
378 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
380 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
383 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
385 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
388 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
389 during global destruction. This method has been made more
390 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
394 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
395 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
398 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
399 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
401 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
402 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
403 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
406 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
408 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
409 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
412 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
416 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
417 methods during global destruction (doy)
420 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
421 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
425 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
426 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
429 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
430 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
433 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
434 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
436 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
438 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
442 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
443 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
444 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
447 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
448 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
449 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
452 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
454 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
455 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
456 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
459 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
460 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
461 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
462 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
464 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
465 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
466 of the Moose core (Sartak)
469 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
472 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
473 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
474 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
478 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
479 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
482 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
484 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
487 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
488 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
491 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
492 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
495 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
496 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
499 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
502 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
504 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
505 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
509 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
511 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
512 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
515 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
516 * More deprecations and renamings
517 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
518 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
519 when an object is constructed)
522 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
523 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
524 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
526 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
527 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
528 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
529 feature, and it works again.
532 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
534 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
536 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
537 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
538 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
541 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
542 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
543 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
544 message. Test provided by perigrin.
546 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
547 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
548 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
549 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
550 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
553 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
554 metaclass object. (hdp)
556 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
557 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
558 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
559 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
560 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
561 point out this fact. (hdp)
563 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
564 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
566 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
567 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
570 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
571 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
572 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
573 called during instance construction were passed the
574 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
575 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
577 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
578 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
581 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
582 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
583 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
586 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
587 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
588 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
589 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
590 them, but they are not for "public" use.
593 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
595 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
596 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
597 when an object is constructed)
598 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
600 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
601 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
602 when an object is constructed)
603 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
604 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
605 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
608 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
610 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
611 * No changes from 0.72_01.
613 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
615 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
616 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
617 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
619 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
620 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
621 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
623 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
625 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
626 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
628 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
629 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
632 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
633 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
636 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
637 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
638 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
640 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
641 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
645 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
646 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
647 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
650 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
653 * Moose::Manual::Delta
654 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
655 with recommended workarounds.
657 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
658 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
660 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
661 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
662 (yes, spelled like that).
664 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
665 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
668 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
669 changes in latest Class::MOP.
671 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
673 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
674 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
675 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
676 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
677 instead. Reported by doy.
679 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
681 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
682 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
684 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
685 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
686 message) is now deprecated.
687 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
688 often got it wrong. For example:
690 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
692 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
696 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
697 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
698 bite you in weird cases.
700 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
701 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
702 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
705 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
706 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
710 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
713 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
714 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
717 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
718 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
720 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
721 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
724 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
725 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
726 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
727 - added tests for this (stevan)
729 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
730 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
731 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
732 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
736 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
737 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
738 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
739 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
741 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
742 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
743 - added tests for this (rafl)
745 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
746 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
747 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
748 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
752 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
753 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
756 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
757 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
758 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
760 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
762 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
763 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
766 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
767 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
768 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
769 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
771 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
772 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
773 error message did not specify the attribute name
776 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
778 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
780 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
781 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
782 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
784 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
785 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
788 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
790 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
791 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
792 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
793 of fixes and formatting improvements.
795 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
797 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
798 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
799 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
800 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
802 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
803 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
804 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
806 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
807 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
808 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
809 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
810 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
812 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
813 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
814 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
815 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
816 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
818 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
819 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
820 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
821 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
822 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
823 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
825 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
826 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
827 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
828 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
829 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
830 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
832 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
833 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
835 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
836 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
837 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
838 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
840 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
841 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
844 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
848 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
849 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
851 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
852 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
853 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
856 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
857 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
858 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
860 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
861 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
862 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
863 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
866 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
869 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
870 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
872 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
874 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
877 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
878 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
879 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
880 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
881 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
882 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
884 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
885 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
886 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
887 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
888 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
889 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
890 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
891 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
892 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
893 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
895 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
897 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
898 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
900 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
901 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
902 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
903 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
905 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
906 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
907 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
908 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
909 same methods for a single role did not work
910 right (worked just fine with multiple
912 - added test for this (stevan)
914 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
915 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
916 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
919 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
920 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
921 - added test for this (t0m)
924 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
925 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
926 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
928 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
929 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
930 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
931 - added test for this (t0m)
933 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
934 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
935 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
936 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
937 - added test for this (perigrin)
940 - create method for constructing a role
942 - added test for this (Sartak)
943 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
944 - added test for this (Sartak)
947 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
949 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
950 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
951 methods is useful (Sartak)
953 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
955 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
959 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
960 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
961 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
962 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
963 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
964 - added tests for this (jdv79)
967 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
968 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
970 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
971 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
972 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
973 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
974 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
976 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
978 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
979 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
980 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
983 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
984 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
985 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
986 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
987 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
988 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
991 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
992 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
993 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
994 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
995 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
996 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
997 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
998 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
999 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1000 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1001 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1003 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1004 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1007 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1008 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1009 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1010 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1011 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1013 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1015 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1016 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1017 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1019 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1020 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1022 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1023 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1024 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1025 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1028 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1029 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1031 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1033 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1034 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1036 * Moose::Meta::Class
1037 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1038 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1039 a required attribute
1041 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1042 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1043 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1044 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1046 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1047 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1049 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1050 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1051 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1052 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1053 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1054 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1055 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1056 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1058 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1059 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1060 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1062 * Roles and role application
1063 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1064 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1065 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1066 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1067 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1069 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1070 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1073 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1074 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1075 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1076 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1077 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1080 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1081 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1082 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1083 changes in the Moose internals.
1085 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1086 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1087 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1090 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1091 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1092 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1093 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1095 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1096 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1097 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1098 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1100 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1101 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1102 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1103 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1104 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1105 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1106 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1107 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1108 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1109 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1110 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1111 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1112 constraint implementations.
1114 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1118 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1119 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1120 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1121 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1122 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1123 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1124 - added tests for this (rafl)
1126 * Moose::Meta::Class
1127 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1128 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1129 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1130 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1131 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1132 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1133 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1134 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1137 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1138 - added tests for this (thepler)
1140 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1141 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1142 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1143 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1146 * Moose::Meta::Class
1147 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1148 * Moose::Meta::Method
1151 * Moose::Error::Default
1152 * Moose::Error::Croak
1153 * Moose::Error::Confess
1154 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1155 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1156 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1157 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1158 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1159 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1161 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1163 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1164 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1166 * Moose::Unsweetened
1167 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1168 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1169 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1171 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1172 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1173 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1174 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1175 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1178 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1179 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1181 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1182 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1183 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1184 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1187 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1189 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1190 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1192 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1195 - Various bug fixes.
1197 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1198 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1200 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1202 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1203 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1204 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1205 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1206 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1207 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1209 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1210 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1211 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1213 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1214 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1215 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1218 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1219 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1220 dependency to 0.64_07.
1222 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1223 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1224 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1227 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1230 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1231 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1232 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1233 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1234 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1235 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1237 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1238 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1240 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1242 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1243 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1247 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1248 method when that method was provided by another role being
1249 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1250 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1252 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1254 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1255 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1258 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1259 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1260 - added test for this (t0m)
1262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1263 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1264 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1266 - added test for this (t0m)
1269 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1270 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1271 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1274 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1275 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1277 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1279 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1280 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1282 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1283 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1284 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1286 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1287 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1290 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1291 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1292 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1293 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1297 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1298 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1299 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1302 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1303 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1304 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1305 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1308 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1312 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1313 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1314 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1316 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1317 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1318 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1319 created so that the process can be more easily
1320 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1322 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1323 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1324 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1325 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1327 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1328 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1331 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1332 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1334 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1335 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1336 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1338 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1339 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1340 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1342 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1343 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1345 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1346 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1349 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1350 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1354 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1355 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1357 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1358 ... this is not my day today ...
1360 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1361 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1362 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1363 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1364 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1367 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1368 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1369 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1370 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1371 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1374 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1376 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1377 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1378 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1379 this is not ever something you want to do
1380 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1381 - added tests for this (stevan)
1384 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1386 - added test for this

1406 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1409 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1410 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1411 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1412 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1413 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1414 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1415 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1416 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1417 - added tests for this
1419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1420 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1421 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1422 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1424 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1527 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1529 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1530 XS based functionality is now optional
1531 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1532 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1533 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1636 drink more coffee before
1637 doing release engineering
1639 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1754 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1756 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2047 - added tests for this
2050 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2051 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2093 - fixed how required methods are handled
2094 when they encounter overriden or modified
2095 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2096 - added tests for this
2098 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2099 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2100 the | always creates a union and so is
2101 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2102 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2104 - added more tests for this
2106 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2109 * Parameterized Types
2110 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2111 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2112 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2113 They can also be nested:
2114 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2115 And work with the type unions as well:
2116 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2118 * Better Framework Extendability
2119 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2120 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2121 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2122 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2125 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2126 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2127 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2128 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2131 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2133 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2134 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2193 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2194 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2196 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2213 (thanks to shlomif).
2215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2216 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2217 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2218 - added tests for this

2266 (but not changing the handles option)
2267 - added tests and docs for this
2270 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2271 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2282 the other side (perigrin)
2284 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2285 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2286 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2287 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2288 prototypes for functions
2289 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2290 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2300 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2303 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2304 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2305 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2306 - added tests for this
2308 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2310 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2326 * Moose::Meta::Class
2327 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2328 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2329 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2331 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2332 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2334 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2335 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2336 so this release is just to fix that.
2339 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2340 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2341 (thanks to konobi for this)
2342 - added tests and docs
2344 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2345 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2347 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2348 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2349 thanks to phaylon for finding this

2352 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2353 functions to facilitate introspection.
2355 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2356 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2357 to build the list of delegated methods
2358 correctly (and not override important
2359 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2361 - added tests and docs for this
2362 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2363 so that you can actually document your
2364 attributes and inspect them through the
2366 - added tests and docs for this
2368 * Moose::Meta::Class
2369 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2370 it will first look in for the class in the
2371 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2372 then default to just loading $name.
2373 - added tests and docs for this
2375 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2376 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2377 - added test for this
2380 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2381 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2382 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2383 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2385 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2386 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2389 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2391 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2392 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2393 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2396 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2397 !! for this developer release to work !!
2399 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2400 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2401 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2402 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2403 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2404 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2405 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2406 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2407 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2408 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2409 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2411 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2412 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2413 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2414 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2417 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2418 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2419 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2420 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2421 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2423 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2425 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2426 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2429 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2430 called unless they actually need to be.
2431 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2432 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2433 DEMOLISH method present.
2435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2436 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2437 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2438 type constraint, which allows for a
2439 hand optimized version of the type
2440 constraint to be used when possible.
2441 - Any internally created type constraints
2442 now provide an optimized version as well.
2444 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2446 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2447 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2448 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2450 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2451 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2452 your class namespace of these exported
2455 * Moose::Meta::Class
2456 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2457 comes up during global destruction
2459 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2463 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2466 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2467 - changed how we do type checks so that
2468 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2471 - moved accessor generation methods to
2472 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2473 conform to the API changes from
2476 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2477 - changed how constraints are compiled
2478 so that we do less recursion and more
2479 iteration. This makes the type check
2481 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2484 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2485 - created this from methods formerly found in
2486 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2488 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2489 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2491 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2492 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2494 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2495 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2497 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2499 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2500 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2501 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2502 - added tests for this
2503 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2504 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2505 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2506 - removed tests for this
2508 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2510 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2511 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2512 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2515 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2516 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2517 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2519 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2520 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2521 comments for more info.
2524 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2525 asked questions and common problems
2527 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2528 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2529 - added tests for this
2531 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2532 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2533 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2534 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2536 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2537 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2540 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2541 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2542 is much appreciated :)
2543 - added tests for this
2545 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2546 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2547 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2550 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2551 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2553 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2555 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2556 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2560 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2561 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2562 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2564 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2566 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2569 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2570 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2571 keywords because we need to localize them.
2572 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2574 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2575 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2576 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2579 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2582 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2583 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2584 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2587 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2588 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2589 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2591 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2593 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2594 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2595 bottom of your class file.
2598 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2601 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2603 - improved error message when loading modules so
2604 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2605 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2606 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2609 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2610 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2611 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2613 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2614 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2616 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2617 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2618 turn them on for you.
2619 - added tests for this
2620 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2621 in Moose::Meta::Class
2624 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2625 automatically turned on for you.
2626 - added tests for this
2629 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2630 - added tests for this
2631 - added some more edge case tests

2643 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2644 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2647 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2648 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2649 - This release works in combination with
2650 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2651 release because it uses the a new
2652 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2653 complete Role implementation. It has
2654 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2655 the the previous CPAN version. This
2656 release also lacks good updated docs,
2657 the official release will have updated docs.
2660 - refactored the keyword exports
2661 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2662 accepts more than one Role at a time
2663 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2664 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2667 - refactored the keyword exports
2668 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2669 accepts more than one Role at a time
2671 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2672 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2673 string enumerations which can be used as
2675 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2678 - more careful checking of params to new()
2681 - much work done on the role composition
2682 - many new tests for conflict detection
2683 and composition edge cases
2684 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2685 looking at the tests
2687 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2688 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2689 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2691 * Moose::Meta::Class
2692 - some small changes to support the new
2694 - some small additions to support Roles
2696 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2697 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2699 - some small changes to support the new
2701 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2702 with the 'handles' option
2703 - added several tests for this
2704 - no docs for this yet
2706 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2708 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2709 thanks to chansen for this commit
2710 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2711 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2712 on a per-attribute basis
2713 - added tests for this
2714 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2715 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2716 experimental feature and probably not finished
2717 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2718 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2719 - added tests for this
2722 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2724 * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints
2725 - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks
2726 to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice
2728 - added some tests for this
2729 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2730 thanks to chansen for this commit
2732 * Moose::Meta::Class
2733 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
2734 construct_instance (for the better)
2736 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2737 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2738 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
2740 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2741 - added type constraint unions
2742 - added tests for this
