1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
10 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
11 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
16 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
17 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
18 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
22 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
23 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
24 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
26 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
30 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
32 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
36 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
37 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
39 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
43 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
45 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
49 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
51 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
52 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
54 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
58 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
59 skips every other role. (rjbs)
61 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
62 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
63 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
64 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
65 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
67 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
71 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
72 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
73 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
76 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
81 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
83 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
84 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
86 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
90 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
91 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
92 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
96 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
97 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
99 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
100 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
102 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
103 environments. (doy, mateu)
105 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
109 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
110 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
111 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
112 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
116 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
117 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
119 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
123 * Update conflicts list.
126 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
130 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
131 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
132 details. (Dave Rolsky)
134 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
135 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
136 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
137 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
138 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
142 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
143 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
144 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
145 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
146 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
149 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
153 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
154 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
156 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
159 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
163 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
164 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
165 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
166 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
168 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
169 immutable classes). (mo)
171 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
172 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
173 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
175 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
179 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
181 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
183 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
187 * Fix some indexing issues.
189 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
191 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
195 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
196 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
197 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
198 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
199 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
201 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
202 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
207 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
208 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
209 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
210 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
212 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
213 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
214 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
218 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
219 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
222 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
226 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
227 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
231 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
235 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
236 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
237 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
238 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
241 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
245 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
248 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
252 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
253 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
254 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
257 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
261 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
262 policy. (Chris Prather)
264 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
265 on this new support policy. (doy)
269 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
270 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
271 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
273 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
274 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
276 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
280 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
281 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
282 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
283 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
286 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
290 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
291 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
294 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
298 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
299 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
301 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
302 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
306 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
307 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
308 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
309 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
310 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
311 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
313 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
314 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
316 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
317 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
318 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
319 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
321 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
322 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
324 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
329 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
330 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
332 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
336 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
337 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
338 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
340 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
344 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
345 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
346 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
348 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
349 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
352 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
353 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
356 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
357 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
358 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
360 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
361 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
366 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
367 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
368 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
369 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
371 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
372 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
374 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
375 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
377 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
378 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
379 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
380 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
382 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
383 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
384 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
387 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
388 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
389 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
390 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
392 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
393 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
396 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
397 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
398 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
400 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
404 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
405 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
406 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
408 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
409 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
410 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
413 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
414 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
415 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
417 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
418 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
419 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
421 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
422 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
426 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
427 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
428 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
430 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
431 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
432 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
433 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
435 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
439 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
440 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
441 value is a reference.
443 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
444 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
446 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
450 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
451 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
452 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
454 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
458 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
459 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
463 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
464 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
465 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
467 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
468 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
469 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
471 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
475 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
477 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
481 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
483 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
484 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
489 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
490 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
492 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
493 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
494 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
495 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
496 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
498 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
499 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
500 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
501 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
503 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
507 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
508 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
513 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
515 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
517 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
522 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
524 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
528 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
529 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
530 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
532 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
533 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
534 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
535 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
537 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
538 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
539 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
540 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
541 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
544 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
549 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
550 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
551 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
552 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
553 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
556 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
560 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
563 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
564 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
568 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
569 function (not just method). (doy)
573 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
574 and aren't easily installable/testable.
576 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
580 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
581 to be overridden more easily (doy).
583 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
587 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
588 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
590 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
594 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
595 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
596 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
598 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
602 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
603 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
604 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
606 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
607 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
611 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
612 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
614 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
615 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
619 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
620 is applied to a class (t0m).
622 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
623 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
625 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
628 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
629 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
631 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
632 be much more robust. (doy)
634 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
636 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
639 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
643 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
644 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
646 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
650 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
651 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
653 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
656 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
657 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
658 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
660 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
661 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
662 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
663 Arnfjörð Bjarmason)
665 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
667 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
671 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
672 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
676 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
678 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
682 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
683 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
687 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
688 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
692 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
694 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
698 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
699 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
703 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
704 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
708 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
709 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
711 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
715 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
716 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
717 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
720 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
724 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
725 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
726 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
727 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
729 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
733 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
734 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
735 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
739 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
742 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
746 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
747 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
748 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
752 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
753 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
755 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
756 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
757 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
758 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
760 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
764 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
768 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
769 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
771 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
772 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
773 - Moose::Util::does_role
774 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
775 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
776 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
778 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
782 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
783 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
784 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
787 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
791 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
792 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
795 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
799 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
800 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
803 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
807 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
809 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
810 class. (Dave Rolsky).
812 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
813 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
814 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
816 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
817 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
818 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
821 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
822 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
824 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
825 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
826 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
828 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
830 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
831 substr et al, again. (sorear)
833 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
835 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
838 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
839 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
841 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
842 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
844 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
845 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
846 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
847 dependencies installed.
849 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
850 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
853 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
855 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
859 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
861 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
862 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
863 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
865 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
866 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
867 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
869 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
870 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
873 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
874 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
875 others. (nothingmuch)
877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
878 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
879 remove_accessors. (doy)
881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
882 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
883 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
886 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
888 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
890 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
891 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
894 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
895 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
897 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
898 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
900 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
902 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
903 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
906 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
907 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
908 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
909 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
910 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
912 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
913 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
914 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
915 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
916 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
917 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
918 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
921 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
922 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
923 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
924 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
925 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
927 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
928 which were not receiving the value of
929 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
930 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
931 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
932 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
936 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
937 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
938 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
939 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
940 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
943 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
944 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
945 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
946 - added tests for this (Stevan)
949 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
950 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
951 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
954 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
955 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
956 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
958 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
959 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
960 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
963 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
964 class if you pass it options for
965 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
966 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
967 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
968 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
969 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
970 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
971 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
972 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
973 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
975 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
976 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
977 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
978 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
979 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
982 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
984 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
985 existing delegation API. (hdp)
987 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
988 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
989 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
990 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
991 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
992 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
995 * Moose::Error::Croak
996 * Moose::Error::Confess
997 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
998 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1001 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1004 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1005 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1006 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1008 * Moose::Meta::Class
1009 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1012 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1013 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1014 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1016 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1017 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1018 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1019 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1020 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1022 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1023 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1026 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1028 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1029 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1032 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1033 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1036 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1037 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1038 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1040 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1041 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1042 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1043 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1044 using it for new code!
1046 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1047 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1048 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1049 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1051 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1052 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1053 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1054 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1055 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1056 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1057 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1058 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1061 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1064 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1065 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1069 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1071 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1072 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1073 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1075 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1076 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1077 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1078 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1080 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1081 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1082 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1084 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1085 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1086 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1089 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1090 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1091 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1092 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1093 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1094 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1096 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1098 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1101 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1102 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1103 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1105 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1106 associated_methods. (hdp)
1107 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1108 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1109 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1110 misspelled) arguments
1112 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1113 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1114 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1115 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1117 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1118 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1119 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1121 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1124 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1125 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1126 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1129 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1130 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1132 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1133 * Moose::Meta::Class
1134 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1135 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1137 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1138 * Moose::Manual::Types
1139 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1140 string parsing rathole (mst)
1142 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1143 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1144 using plain objects instead
1146 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1147 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1148 that's what we need.
1150 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1151 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1152 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1153 three times today (perigrin)
1154 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1155 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1158 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1159 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1160 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1163 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1164 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1165 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1166 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1167 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1168 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1171 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1172 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1173 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1174 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1177 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1179 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1182 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1184 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1187 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1188 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1189 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1193 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1194 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1197 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1198 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1200 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1201 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1202 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1204 * Moose::Unsweetened
1205 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1207 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1208 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1211 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1215 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1216 methods during global destruction (doy)
1218 * Moose::Meta::Class
1219 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1220 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1221 consumption (Sartak)
1223 * Moose::Meta::Class
1224 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1225 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1228 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1229 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1232 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1233 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1235 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1237 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1241 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1242 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1243 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1246 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1247 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1248 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1251 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1253 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1254 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1255 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1258 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1259 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1260 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1261 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1263 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1264 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1265 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1268 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1271 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1272 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1273 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1277 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1278 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1280 * Moose::Meta::Class
1281 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1283 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1285 * Moose::Meta::Class
1286 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1287 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1290 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1291 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1294 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1295 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1298 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1301 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1304 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1307 * Moose::Meta::Class
1308 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1310 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1311 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1314 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1315 * More deprecations and renamings
1316 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1317 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1318 when an object is constructed)
1321 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1322 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1323 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1326 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1327 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1328 feature, and it works again.
1331 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1333 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1335 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1336 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1337 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1340 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1341 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1342 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1343 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1345 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1346 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1347 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1348 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1349 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1352 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1353 metaclass object. (hdp)
1355 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1356 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1357 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1358 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1359 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1360 point out this fact. (hdp)
1362 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1363 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1365 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1366 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1368 * Moose::Meta::Class
1369 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1370 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1371 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1372 called during instance construction were passed the
1373 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1374 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1376 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1377 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1380 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1381 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1382 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1385 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1386 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1387 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1388 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1389 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1391 - Moose::Meta::Class
1392 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1394 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1395 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1396 when an object is constructed)
1397 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1399 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1400 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1401 when an object is constructed)
1402 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1403 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1404 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1407 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1409 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1410 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1412 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1414 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1415 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1416 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1418 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1419 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1420 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1422 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1424 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1425 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1427 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1428 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1431 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1432 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1435 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1436 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1437 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1439 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1440 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1444 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1445 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1446 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1448 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1449 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1452 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1453 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1454 with recommended workarounds.
1456 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1457 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1459 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1460 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1461 (yes, spelled like that).
1463 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1464 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1466 * Moose::Meta::Class
1467 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1468 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1470 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1472 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1473 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1474 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1475 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1476 instead. Reported by doy.
1478 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1480 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1481 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1483 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1484 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1485 message) is now deprecated.
1486 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1487 often got it wrong. For example:
1489 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1491 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1495 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1496 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1497 bite you in weird cases.
1499 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1500 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1501 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1502 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1504 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1505 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1509 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1512 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1513 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1516 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1517 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1519 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1520 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1523 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1524 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1525 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1526 - added tests for this (stevan)
1528 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1529 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1530 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1531 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1535 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1536 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1537 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1538 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1540 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1541 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1542 - added tests for this (rafl)
1544 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1545 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1546 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1547 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1551 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1552 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1555 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1556 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1557 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1559 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1561 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1562 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1564 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1565 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1566 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1567 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1568 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1570 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1571 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1572 error message did not specify the attribute name
1575 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1577 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1579 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1580 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1581 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1583 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1584 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1587 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1589 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1590 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1591 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1592 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1594 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1596 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1597 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1598 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1599 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1601 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1602 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1603 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1605 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1606 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1607 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1608 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1609 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1611 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1612 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1613 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1614 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1615 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1618 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1619 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1620 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1621 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1622 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1624 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1625 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1626 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1627 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1628 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1629 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1631 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1632 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1634 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1635 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1636 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1637 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1639 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1640 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1643 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1647 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1648 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1650 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1651 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1652 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1653 guts. (nothingmuch).
1655 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1656 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1657 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1659 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1660 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1661 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1662 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1664 * Moose::Meta::Class
1665 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1668 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1669 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1671 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1672 * Moose::Unsweetened
1673 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1676 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1677 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1678 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1679 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1680 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1681 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1683 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1684 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1685 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1686 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1687 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1688 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1689 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1690 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1691 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1692 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1694 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1696 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1697 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1700 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1701 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1702 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1704 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1705 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1706 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1707 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1708 same methods for a single role did not work
1709 right (worked just fine with multiple
1711 - added test for this (stevan)
1713 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1714 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1715 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1718 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1719 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1720 - added test for this (t0m)
1723 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1724 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1725 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1727 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1728 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1729 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1730 - added test for this (t0m)
1732 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1733 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1734 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1735 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1736 - added test for this (perigrin)
1739 - create method for constructing a role
1740 dynamically (Sartak)
1741 - added test for this (Sartak)
1742 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1743 - added test for this (Sartak)
1746 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1748 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1749 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1750 methods is useful (Sartak)
1752 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1753 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1754 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1757 * Moose::Meta::Class
1758 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1759 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1760 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1761 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1762 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1763 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1766 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1767 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1769 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1770 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1771 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1772 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1773 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1775 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1777 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1778 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1779 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1782 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1783 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1784 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1785 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1786 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1787 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1791 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1792 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1793 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1794 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1795 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1796 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1797 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1798 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1799 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1800 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1802 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1803 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1806 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1807 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1808 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1809 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1810 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1812 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1814 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1815 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1816 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1818 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1819 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1821 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1822 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1823 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1824 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1827 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1828 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1830 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1832 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1833 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1835 * Moose::Meta::Class
1836 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1837 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1838 a required attribute
1840 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1841 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1842 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1843 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1846 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1848 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1849 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1850 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1851 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1852 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1853 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1854 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1855 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1857 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1858 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1859 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1861 * Roles and role application
1862 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1863 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1864 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1865 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1866 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1868 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1869 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1872 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1873 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1874 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1875 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1876 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1879 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1880 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1881 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1882 changes in the Moose internals.
1884 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1886 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1889 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1890 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1891 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1892 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1894 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1895 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1896 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1897 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1899 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1900 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1901 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1902 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1903 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1904 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1905 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1906 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1907 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1908 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1909 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1910 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1911 constraint implementations.
1913 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1917 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1918 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1919 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1920 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1921 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1922 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 - added tests for this (rafl)
1925 * Moose::Meta::Class
1926 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1927 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1928 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1929 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1930 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1931 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1932 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1933 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1936 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1937 - added tests for this (thepler)
1939 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1940 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1941 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1942 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1945 * Moose::Meta::Class
1946 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1947 * Moose::Meta::Method
1950 * Moose::Error::Default
1951 * Moose::Error::Croak
1952 * Moose::Error::Confess
1953 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1954 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1955 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1956 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1957 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1958 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1960 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1962 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1963 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1965 * Moose::Unsweetened
1966 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1967 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1968 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1971 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1972 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1973 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1974 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1977 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1978 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1980 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1981 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1982 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1983 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1986 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1988 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1989 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1991 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1994 - Various bug fixes.
1996 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1997 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1999 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2001 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2002 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2003 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2004 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2005 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2006 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2008 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2009 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2010 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2012 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2013 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2014 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2017 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2018 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2019 dependency to 0.64_07.
2021 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2022 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2023 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2025 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2026 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2029 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2030 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2031 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2032 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2033 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2034 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2036 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2037 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2039 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2041 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2042 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2046 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2047 method when that method was provided by another role being
2048 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2049 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2051 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2063 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2065 - added test for this (t0m)

2157 ... this is not my day today ...
2159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2160 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2161 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2162 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2163 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2166 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2167 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2168 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2173 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2175 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2176 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2208 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2209 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2210 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2211 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2212 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2213 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2214 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2215 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2216 - added tests for this
2218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2219 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2750 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2751 - added this module to support the refactor
2752 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2754 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2755 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2756 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2760 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2762 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2763 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2764 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2766 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2767 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)
2769 * Moose::Meta::Class
2771 - several tweaks to take advantage of the
2772 new method map caching in Class::MOP

2779 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2780 - added tests for this
2782 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2783 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2784 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2785 types without having to explictly define them
2786 - added tests for this
2788 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2789 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2790 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2792 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2793 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2794 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2795 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2796 - added tests for this
2797 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2798 a single type at different times instead of
2799 having to do it all in one place
2800 - added tests for this
2802 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2803 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2804 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2807 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2808 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2809 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2810 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2811 new features above (although you cannot add
2812 more type coercions for Union types)
2814 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2815 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2816 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2817 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2818 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2819 - added tests for this.
2820 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2821 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2822 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2823 - added tests for this
2824 - added docs for this
2826 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2827 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2828 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2829 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2830 instead it will just return undef.
2831 - added docs for this
2833 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2845 with work correctly.
2846 - added tests for this
2849 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2850 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2853 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2854 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2855 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2857 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2889 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2892 - fixed how required methods are handled
2893 when they encounter overriden or modified
2894 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2895 - added tests for this
2897 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2898 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2899 the | always creates a union and so is
2900 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2901 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2903 - added more tests for this
2905 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2908 * Parameterized Types
2909 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2910 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2911 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2912 They can also be nested:
2913 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2914 And work with the type unions as well:
2915 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2917 * Better Framework Extendability
2918 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2919 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2920 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2921 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2924 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2925 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2926 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2927 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2930 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2932 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2933 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2936 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2963 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2964 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2966 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2967 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2968 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2969 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2971 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2972 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2973 - updated the accompanying test as well
2975 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2976 +++ with new features added as well +++
2978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2979 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2980 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2981 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2982 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2984 - added tests for this
2986 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2988 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2989 can track where the type constraints are created
2991 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2992 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2993 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2995 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2996 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2997 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2998 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3012 (thanks to shlomif).
3014 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3015 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3016 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3017 - added tests for this

3020 - added tests for this
3022 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3023 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3024 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3065 (but not changing the handles option)
3066 - added tests and docs for this
3069 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3070 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3071 - adjusted tests for this
3073 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3074 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3075 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3081 the other side (perigrin)
3083 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3084 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3085 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3086 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3087 prototypes for functions
3088 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3089 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3099 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3102 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3103 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3104 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3105 - added tests for this
3107 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3109 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3125 * Moose::Meta::Class
3126 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3127 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3128 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3130 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3131 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3133 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3134 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3135 so this release is just to fix that.
3138 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3139 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3140 (thanks to konobi for this)
3141 - added tests and docs
3143 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3144 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3146 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3147 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3148 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3149 - added tests for this
3150 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3151 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3152 functions to facilitate introspection.
3154 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3155 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3156 to build the list of delegated methods
3157 correctly (and not override important
3158 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3160 - added tests and docs for this
3161 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3162 so that you can actually document your
3163 attributes and inspect them through the
3165 - added tests and docs for this
3167 * Moose::Meta::Class
3168 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3169 it will first look in for the class in the
3170 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3171 then default to just loading $name.
3172 - added tests and docs for this
3174 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3175 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3176 - added test for this
3179 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3180 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3181 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3182 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3184 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3185 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3188 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3190 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3191 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3192 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3195 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3196 !! for this developer release to work !!
3198 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3199 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3200 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3201 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3202 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3203 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3204 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3205 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3206 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3207 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3208 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3210 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3211 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3212 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3213 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3216 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3218 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3219 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3220 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3222 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3224 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3225 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3228 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3229 called unless they actually need to be.
3230 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3231 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3232 DEMOLISH method present.
3234 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3235 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3236 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3237 type constraint, which allows for a
3238 hand optimized version of the type
3239 constraint to be used when possible.
3240 - Any internally created type constraints
3241 now provide an optimized version as well.
3243 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3245 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3246 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3247 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3249 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3250 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3251 your class namespace of these exported
3254 * Moose::Meta::Class
3255 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3256 comes up during global destruction
3258 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3262 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3266 - changed how we do type checks so that
3267 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3270 - moved accessor generation methods to
3271 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3272 conform to the API changes from
3275 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3276 - changed how constraints are compiled
3277 so that we do less recursion and more
3278 iteration. This makes the type check
3280 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3283 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3284 - created this from methods formerly found in
3285 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3287 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3288 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3290 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3291 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3293 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3294 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3296 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3298 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3299 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3300 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3301 - added tests for this
3302 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3303 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3304 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3305 - removed tests for this
3307 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3309 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3310 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3311 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3314 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3315 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3316 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3318 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3319 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3320 comments for more info.
3323 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3324 asked questions and common problems
3326 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3327 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3328 - added tests for this
3330 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3331 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3332 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3333 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3335 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3336 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3339 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3340 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3341 is much appreciated :)
3342 - added tests for this
3344 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3345 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3346 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3349 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3350 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3352 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3354 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3355 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3359 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3360 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3361 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3363 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3365 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3368 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3369 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3370 keywords because we need to localize them.
3371 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3373 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3374 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3375 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3378 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3381 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3382 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3383 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3386 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3387 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3388 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3390 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3392 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3393 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3394 bottom of your class file.
3397 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3400 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3402 - improved error message when loading modules so
3403 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3404 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3405 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3408 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3409 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3410 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3412 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3413 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3415 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3416 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3417 turn them on for you.
3418 - added tests for this
3419 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3420 in Moose::Meta::Class

3448 - This release works in combination with
3449 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3450 release because it uses the a new
3451 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3452 complete Role implementation. It has
3453 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3454 the the previous CPAN version. This
3455 release also lacks good updated docs,
3456 the official release will have updated docs.
3459 - refactored the keyword exports
3460 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3461 accepts more than one Role at a time
3462 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3463 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3466 - refactored the keyword exports
3467 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3468 accepts more than one Role at a time
3470 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3471 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3472 string enumerations which can be used as
3474 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3477 - more careful checking of params to new()
3480 - much work done on the role composition
3481 - many new tests for conflict detection
3482 and composition edge cases
3483 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3484 looking at the tests
3486 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3487 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3488 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3490 * Moose::Meta::Class
3491 - some small changes to support the new
3493 - some small additions to support Roles
3495 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3496 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3498 - some small changes to support the new
3500 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3501 with the 'handles' option
3502 - added several tests for this
3503 - no docs for this yet

3507 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3508 thanks to chansen for this commit
3509 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3510 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3511 on a per-attribute basis
3512 - added tests for this
3513 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3514 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3515 experimental feature and probably not finished
3516 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3517 more details, or ask about it on #moose
