1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
6 - The new error condition was laxened to allow class names.
9 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
10 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
12 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
13 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
14 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
17 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
18 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
19 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
20 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
21 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
22 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
24 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
26 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
29 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
30 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
31 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
33 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
34 associated_methods. (hdp)
35 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
36 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
37 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
40 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
41 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
42 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
43 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
45 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
46 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
47 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
49 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
52 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
53 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
54 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
57 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
58 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
60 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
62 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
63 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
65 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
66 * Moose::Manual::Types
67 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
68 string parsing rathole (mst)
70 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
71 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
72 using plain objects instead
75 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
80 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
81 three times today (perigrin)
82 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
83 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
85 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
86 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
87 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
88 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
91 - A role's required methods are now represented by
92 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
93 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
94 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
95 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
96 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
99 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
100 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
101 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
102 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
105 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
107 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
110 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
112 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
115 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
116 during global destruction. This method has been made more
117 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
121 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
122 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
125 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
126 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
128 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
129 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
130 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
133 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
135 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
136 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
139 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
143 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
144 methods during global destruction (doy)
147 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
148 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
152 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
153 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
156 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
157 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
160 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
161 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
163 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
165 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
169 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
170 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
171 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
174 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
175 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
176 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
179 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
181 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
182 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
183 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
186 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
187 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
188 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
189 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
191 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
192 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
193 of the Moose core (Sartak)
196 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
199 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
200 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
201 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
205 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
206 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
209 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
211 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
214 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
215 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
218 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
219 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
222 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
223 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
226 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
229 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
231 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
232 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
236 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
238 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
239 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
242 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
243 * More deprecations and renamings
244 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
245 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
246 when an object is constructed)
249 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
250 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
251 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
253 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
254 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
255 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
256 feature, and it works again.
259 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
261 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
263 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
264 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
265 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
268 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
269 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
270 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
271 message. Test provided by perigrin.
273 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
274 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
275 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
276 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
277 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
280 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
281 metaclass object. (hdp)
283 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
284 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
285 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
286 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
287 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
288 point out this fact. (hdp)
290 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
291 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
293 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
294 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
297 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
298 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
299 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
300 called during instance construction were passed the
301 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
302 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
304 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
305 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
308 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
309 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
310 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
313 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
314 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
315 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
316 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
317 them, but they are not for "public" use.
320 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
322 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
323 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
324 when an object is constructed)
325 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
327 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
328 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
329 when an object is constructed)
330 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
331 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
332 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
335 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
337 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
338 * No changes from 0.72_01.
340 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
342 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
343 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
344 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
346 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
347 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
348 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
350 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
352 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
353 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
355 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
356 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
359 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
360 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
363 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
364 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
365 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
367 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
368 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
372 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
373 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
374 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
376 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
377 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
380 * Moose::Manual::Delta
381 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
382 with recommended workarounds.
384 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
385 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
387 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
388 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
389 (yes, spelled like that).
391 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
392 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
395 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
396 changes in latest Class::MOP.
398 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
400 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
401 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
402 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
403 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
404 instead. Reported by doy.
406 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
408 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
409 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
411 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
412 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
413 message) is now deprecated.
414 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
415 often got it wrong. For example:
417 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
419 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
423 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
424 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
425 bite you in weird cases.
427 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
428 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
429 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
432 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
433 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
437 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
440 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
441 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
444 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
445 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
447 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
448 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
451 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
452 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
453 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
454 - added tests for this (stevan)
456 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
457 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
458 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
459 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
463 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
464 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
465 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
466 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
468 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
469 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
470 - added tests for this (rafl)
472 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
473 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
474 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
475 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
479 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
480 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
483 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
484 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
485 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
487 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
489 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
490 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
493 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
494 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
495 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
496 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
498 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
499 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
500 error message did not specify the attribute name
503 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
505 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
507 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
508 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
509 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
511 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
512 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
515 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
517 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
518 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
519 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
520 of fixes and formatting improvements.
522 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
524 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
525 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
526 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
527 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
529 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
530 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
531 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
533 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
534 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
535 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
536 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
537 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
539 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
540 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
541 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
542 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
543 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
545 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
546 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
547 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
548 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
549 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
550 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
552 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
553 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
554 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
555 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
556 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
557 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
559 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
560 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
562 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
563 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
564 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
565 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
567 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
568 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
571 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
575 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
576 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
578 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
579 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
580 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
583 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
584 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
585 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
587 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
588 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
589 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
590 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
593 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
596 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
597 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
599 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
601 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
604 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
605 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
606 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
607 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
608 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
609 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
611 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
612 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
613 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
614 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
615 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
616 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
617 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
618 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
619 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
620 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
622 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
624 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
625 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
627 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
628 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
629 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
630 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
632 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
633 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
634 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
635 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
636 same methods for a single role did not work
637 right (worked just fine with multiple
639 - added test for this (stevan)
641 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
642 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
643 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
646 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
647 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
648 - added test for this (t0m)
651 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
652 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
653 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
655 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
656 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
657 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
658 - added test for this (t0m)
660 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
661 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
662 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
663 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
664 - added test for this (perigrin)
667 - create method for constructing a role
669 - added test for this (Sartak)
670 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
671 - added test for this (Sartak)
674 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
676 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
677 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
678 methods is useful (Sartak)
680 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
681 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
682 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
686 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
687 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
688 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
689 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
690 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
691 - added tests for this (jdv79)
694 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
695 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
697 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
698 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
699 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
700 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
701 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
703 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
705 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
706 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
707 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
710 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
711 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
712 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
713 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
714 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
715 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
718 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
719 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
720 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
721 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
722 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
723 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
724 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
725 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
726 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
727 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
728 future. (jnapiorkowski)
730 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
731 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
734 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
735 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
736 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
737 type. (jnapiorkowski)
738 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
740 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
742 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
743 predicate, and link to more details sections in
744 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
746 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
747 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
749 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
750 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
751 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
752 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
755 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
756 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
758 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
760 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
761 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
764 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
765 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
768 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
769 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
770 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
771 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
773 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
774 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
777 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
778 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
779 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
780 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
781 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
782 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
783 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
785 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
786 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
787 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
789 * Roles and role application
790 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
791 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
792 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
793 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
794 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
796 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
797 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
800 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
801 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
802 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
803 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
804 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
807 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
808 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
809 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
810 changes in the Moose internals.
812 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
813 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
814 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
817 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
818 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
819 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
820 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
822 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
823 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
824 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
825 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
827 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
828 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
829 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
830 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
831 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
832 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
833 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
834 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
835 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
836 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
837 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
838 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
839 constraint implementations.
841 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
845 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
846 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
847 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
848 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
849 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
850 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
851 - added tests for this (rafl)
854 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
855 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
856 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
857 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
858 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
859 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
860 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
861 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
864 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
865 - added tests for this (thepler)
867 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
868 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
869 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
870 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
874 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
875 * Moose::Meta::Method
878 * Moose::Error::Default
879 * Moose::Error::Croak
880 * Moose::Error::Confess
881 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
882 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
883 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
884 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
885 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
886 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
888 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
890 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
891 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
894 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
895 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
896 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
899 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
900 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
901 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
902 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
905 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
906 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
908 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
909 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
910 several major changes in this release of Moose.
911 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
914 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
916 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
917 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
919 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
924 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
925 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
927 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
929 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
930 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
931 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
932 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
933 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
934 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
936 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
937 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
938 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
940 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
941 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
942 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
945 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
946 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
947 dependency to 0.64_07.
949 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
950 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
951 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
953 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
954 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
957 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
958 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
959 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
960 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
961 coincidental exception. (t0m).
962 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
964 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
965 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
967 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
969 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
970 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
974 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
975 method when that method was provided by another role being
976 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
977 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
979 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
981 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
982 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
984 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
985 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
986 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
987 - added test for this (t0m)
989 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
990 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
991 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
993 - added test for this (t0m)
996 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
997 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
998 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1001 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1002 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1004 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1006 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1007 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1009 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1010 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1011 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1013 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1014 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1017 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1018 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1019 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1020 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1024 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1025 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1026 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1029 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1030 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1031 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1032 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1035 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1039 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1040 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1041 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1043 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1044 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1045 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1046 created so that the process can be more easily
1047 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1049 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1050 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1051 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1052 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1054 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1055 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1058 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1059 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1061 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1062 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1063 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1065 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1066 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1067 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1069 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1070 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1072 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1073 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1076 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1077 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1081 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1082 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1084 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1085 ... this is not my day today ...
1087 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1088 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1089 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1090 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1091 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1094 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1095 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1096 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1097 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1098 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1101 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1103 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1104 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1105 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1106 this is not ever something you want to do
1107 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1108 - added tests for this (stevan)
1111 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1113 - added test for this
1115 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1121 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1122 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1124 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1125 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1126 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1129 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1131 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1133 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1136 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1137 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1138 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1139 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1140 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1141 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1142 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1143 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1144 - added tests for this
1146 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1147 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1148 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1149 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1151 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1153 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1154 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

1156 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1157 install_delegation method (Stevan)

1166 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1167 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1168 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1170 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1172 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1173 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1176 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1178 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1180 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1181 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1182 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1184 - added docs for this (TODO).
1185 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1186 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1187 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1188 - fix builder and default both being used
1193 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1195 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite

1206 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1207 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1209 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1210 - move the ClassName type check code to
1211 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1213 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1214 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1216 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1217 (early morning release engineering)--
1219 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1220 which was causing the indexer to choke
1222 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1223 (late night release engineering)--
1225 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1226 changes in this release
1228 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1229 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1230 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1232 * Moose::Meta::Class
1233 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1234 since it is called so often by &meta
1236 * Moose::Meta::Class
1238 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1239 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1243 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1244 method for immutablization to check if the
1245 destructor object even needs to be created
1248 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1249 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1250 - added more descriptive error message to help
1251 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1252 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1254 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1256 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1257 XS based functionality is now optional
1258 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1259 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1260 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1262 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1263 to take care of this, mostly we added
1264 support for the package_name and name
1265 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1266 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1267 support regexp matching of names
1268 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1269 - tests added for this
1270 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1271 is currently not supported in roles,
1272 but, ... patches welcome
1273 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1274 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1275 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1278 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1279 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1280 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1281 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1282 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1283 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1284 - added test for this
1286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1287 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1288 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1291 * Moose::Meta::Class
1292 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1296 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1298 - added tests for this
1299 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1300 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1302 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1303 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1304 themselves parameterizable types
1306 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1307 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1308 called by the inlined immutable
1310 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1312 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1313 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1314 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1315 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1317 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1318 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1322 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1323 causing occasional cpantester failures
1324 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1325 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1327 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1329 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1330 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1333 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1334 ->body when looping through the
1335 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1337 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1338 eating the $@ values, and so not
1339 working correctly, it still kind of
1340 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1341 - added tests for this
1343 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1344 - added new recipe for immutable
1345 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1347 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1348 - added new recipe for builder and
1349 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1351 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1352 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1353 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1356 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1358 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1359 since Module::Install has done that.
1361 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1363 drink more coffee before
1364 doing release engineering
1366 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1367 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1368 modules. This fixes that.
1370 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1371 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1372 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1374 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1375 since we have tests which need the C3
1378 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1379 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1381 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1382 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1384 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1385 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1386 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1387 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1393 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1394 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
1396 * Moose::Meta::Class
1397 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
1398 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1400 - added test for this
1402 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1403 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
1404 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
1405 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
1406 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
1407 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
1409 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor

1481 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1483 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1774 - added tests for this
1777 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1778 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1820 - fixed how required methods are handled
1821 when they encounter overriden or modified
1822 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1823 - added tests for this
1825 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1833 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1836 * Parameterized Types
1837 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1838 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1839 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1840 They can also be nested:
1841 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1842 And work with the type unions as well:
1843 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1845 * Better Framework Extendability
1846 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1847 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1848 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1849 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1852 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1853 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1854 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1855 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2078 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2079 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2080 functions to facilitate introspection.
2082 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2083 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2084 to build the list of delegated methods
2085 correctly (and not override important
2086 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2088 - added tests and docs for this
2089 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2090 so that you can actually document your
2091 attributes and inspect them through the
2093 - added tests and docs for this
2095 * Moose::Meta::Class
2096 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2097 it will first look in for the class in the
2098 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2099 then default to just loading $name.
2100 - added tests and docs for this
2102 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2103 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2104 - added test for this
2107 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2108 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2109 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2110 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2112 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2113 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2116 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2118 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2119 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2120 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2123 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2124 !! for this developer release to work !!
2126 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2127 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2128 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2129 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2130 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2131 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2132 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2133 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2134 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2135 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2136 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2138 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2139 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2140 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2141 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2144 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2145 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2146 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2147 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2148 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2150 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2152 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2153 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2156 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2157 called unless they actually need to be.
2158 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2159 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2160 DEMOLISH method present.
2162 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2163 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2164 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2165 type constraint, which allows for a
2166 hand optimized version of the type
2167 constraint to be used when possible.
2168 - Any internally created type constraints
2169 now provide an optimized version as well.
2171 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2173 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2174 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2175 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2177 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2178 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2179 your class namespace of these exported
2182 * Moose::Meta::Class
2183 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2184 comes up during global destruction
2186 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2190 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2193 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2194 - changed how we do type checks so that
2195 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2198 - moved accessor generation methods to
2199 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2200 conform to the API changes from
2203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2204 - changed how constraints are compiled
2205 so that we do less recursion and more
2206 iteration. This makes the type check
2208 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2211 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2212 - created this from methods formerly found in
2213 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2215 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2216 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2219 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2221 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2222 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2224 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2227 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2228 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2229 - added tests for this
2230 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2231 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2232 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2233 - removed tests for this
2235 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2237 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2238 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2239 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2242 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2243 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2244 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2246 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2247 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2248 comments for more info.
2251 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2252 asked questions and common problems
2254 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2255 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2256 - added tests for this
2258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2259 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2260 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2261 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2263 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2264 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2267 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2268 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2269 is much appreciated :)
2270 - added tests for this
2272 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2273 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2274 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2277 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2278 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2280 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2282 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2283 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2287 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2288 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2289 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2291 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2293 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2296 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2297 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2298 keywords because we need to localize them.
2299 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2301 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2302 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2303 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2306 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2309 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2310 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2311 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2314 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2315 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2316 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2318 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2320 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2321 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2322 bottom of your class file.
2325 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2328 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2330 - improved error message when loading modules so
2331 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2332 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2333 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2336 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2337 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2338 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2340 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2341 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2343 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2344 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2345 turn them on for you.
2346 - added tests for this
2347 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2348 in Moose::Meta::Class
2351 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2352 automatically turned on for you.

2375 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2376 - This release works in combination with
2377 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2378 release because it uses the a new
2379 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2380 complete Role implementation. It has
2381 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2382 the the previous CPAN version. This
2383 release also lacks good updated docs,
2384 the official release will have updated docs.
2387 - refactored the keyword exports
2388 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2389 accepts more than one Role at a time
2390 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2391 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2394 - refactored the keyword exports
2395 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2396 accepts more than one Role at a time
2398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2399 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2400 string enumerations which can be used as
2402 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2405 - more careful checking of params to new()
2408 - much work done on the role composition
2409 - many new tests for conflict detection
2410 and composition edge cases
2411 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2412 looking at the tests
2414 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2415 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2416 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2418 * Moose::Meta::Class
2419 - some small changes to support the new
2421 - some small additions to support Roles
2423 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2424 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2426 - some small changes to support the new
2428 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2429 with the 'handles' option
2430 - added several tests for this
2431 - no docs for this yet
2433 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2435 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2436 thanks to chansen for this commit
2437 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2438 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2439 on a per-attribute basis
2440 - added tests for this
2441 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2442 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2443 experimental feature and probably not finished

2445 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2446 - added tests for this

2508 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2510 - added test for this
2513 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
