1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
6 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
8 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
9 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
10 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
11 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
12 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
14 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
15 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
18 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
22 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
23 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
26 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
27 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
28 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
29 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
30 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
31 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
32 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
35 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
38 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
39 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
42 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
43 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
45 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
46 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
47 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
50 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
51 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
52 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
55 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
56 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
58 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
59 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
60 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
63 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
64 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
65 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
66 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
67 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
68 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
70 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
72 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
75 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
76 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
77 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
79 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
80 associated_methods. (hdp)
81 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
82 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
83 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
86 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
87 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
88 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
89 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
91 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
92 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
93 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
95 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
98 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
99 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
100 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
103 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
104 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
106 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
108 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
109 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
111 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
112 * Moose::Manual::Types
113 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
114 string parsing rathole (mst)
116 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
117 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
118 using plain objects instead
120 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
121 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
124 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
126 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
127 three times today (perigrin)
128 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
129 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
131 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
132 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
133 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
134 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
137 - A role's required methods are now represented by
138 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
139 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
140 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
141 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
142 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
145 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
146 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
147 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
148 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
151 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
153 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
156 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
158 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
161 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
162 during global destruction. This method has been made more
163 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
167 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
168 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
171 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
172 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
174 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
175 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
176 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
179 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
181 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
182 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
185 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
189 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
190 methods during global destruction (doy)
193 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
194 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
198 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
199 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
202 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
203 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
206 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
207 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
209 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
211 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
215 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
216 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
217 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
220 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
221 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
222 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
225 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
227 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
228 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
229 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
233 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
234 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
235 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
237 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
238 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
239 of the Moose core (Sartak)
242 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
245 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
246 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
247 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
251 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
252 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
255 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
257 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
260 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
261 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
264 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
265 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
268 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
269 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
272 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
275 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
278 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
282 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
284 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
285 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
288 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
289 * More deprecations and renamings
290 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
291 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
292 when an object is constructed)
295 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
296 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
297 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
300 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
301 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
302 feature, and it works again.
305 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
307 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
309 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
310 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
311 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
313 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
314 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
315 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
316 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
317 message. Test provided by perigrin.
319 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
320 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
321 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
322 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
323 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
326 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
327 metaclass object. (hdp)
329 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
330 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
331 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
332 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
333 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
334 point out this fact. (hdp)
336 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
337 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
339 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
340 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
343 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
344 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
345 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
346 called during instance construction were passed the
347 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
348 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
350 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
351 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
354 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
355 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
356 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
359 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
360 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
361 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
362 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
363 them, but they are not for "public" use.
366 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
368 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
369 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
370 when an object is constructed)
371 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
373 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
374 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
375 when an object is constructed)
376 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
377 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
378 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
381 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
383 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
384 * No changes from 0.72_01.
386 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
388 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
389 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
390 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
392 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
393 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
394 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
396 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
398 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
399 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
401 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
402 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
405 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
406 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
409 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
410 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
411 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
413 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
414 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
418 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
419 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
420 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
422 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
423 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
426 * Moose::Manual::Delta
427 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
428 with recommended workarounds.
430 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
431 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
433 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
434 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
435 (yes, spelled like that).
437 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
438 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
441 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
442 changes in latest Class::MOP.
444 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
447 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
448 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
449 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
450 instead. Reported by doy.
452 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
454 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
455 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
457 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
458 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
459 message) is now deprecated.
460 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
461 often got it wrong. For example:
463 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
465 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
469 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
470 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
471 bite you in weird cases.
473 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
474 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
475 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
478 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
479 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
483 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
486 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
487 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
490 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
491 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
493 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
494 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
497 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
498 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
499 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
500 - added tests for this (stevan)
502 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
503 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
504 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
505 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
509 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
510 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
511 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
512 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
514 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
515 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
516 - added tests for this (rafl)
518 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
519 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
520 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
521 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
525 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
526 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
529 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
530 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
531 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
533 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
535 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
536 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
539 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
540 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
541 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
542 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
544 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
545 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
546 error message did not specify the attribute name
549 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
551 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
553 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
554 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
555 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
558 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
561 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
563 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
564 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
565 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
566 of fixes and formatting improvements.
568 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
570 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
571 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
572 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
573 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
575 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
576 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
577 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
579 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
580 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
581 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
582 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
583 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
585 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
586 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
587 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
588 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
589 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
591 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
592 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
593 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
594 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
595 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
596 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
598 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
599 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
600 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
601 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
602 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
603 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
605 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
606 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
608 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
609 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
610 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
611 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
614 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
617 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
621 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
622 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
624 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
625 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
626 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
629 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
630 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
631 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
633 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
634 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
635 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
636 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
639 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
642 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
643 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
645 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
647 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
650 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
651 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
652 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
653 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
654 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
655 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
657 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
658 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
659 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
660 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
661 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
662 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
663 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
664 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
665 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
666 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
668 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
670 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
671 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
673 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
674 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
675 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
676 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
678 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
679 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
680 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
681 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
682 same methods for a single role did not work
683 right (worked just fine with multiple
685 - added test for this (stevan)
687 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
688 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
689 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
692 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
693 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
694 - added test for this (t0m)
697 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
698 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
699 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
701 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
702 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
703 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
704 - added test for this (t0m)
706 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
707 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
708 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
709 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
710 - added test for this (perigrin)
713 - create method for constructing a role
715 - added test for this (Sartak)
716 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
717 - added test for this (Sartak)
720 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
722 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
723 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
724 methods is useful (Sartak)

727 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
728 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
732 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
733 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
734 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
735 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
736 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
737 - added tests for this (jdv79)
740 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
741 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
743 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
744 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
745 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
746 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
747 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
749 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
751 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
752 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
753 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
756 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
757 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
758 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
759 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
760 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
761 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
764 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
765 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
766 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
767 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
768 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
769 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
770 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
771 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
772 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
773 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
774 future. (jnapiorkowski)
776 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
777 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
780 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
781 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
782 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
783 type. (jnapiorkowski)
784 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
786 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
788 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
789 predicate, and link to more details sections in
790 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
792 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
793 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
795 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
796 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
797 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
798 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
801 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
802 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
804 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
806 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
807 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
810 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
811 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
814 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
815 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
816 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
817 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
819 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
820 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
822 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
823 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
824 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
825 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
826 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
827 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
828 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
829 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
831 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
832 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
833 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
835 * Roles and role application
836 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
837 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
838 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
839 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
840 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
842 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
843 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
846 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
847 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
848 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
849 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
850 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
853 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
854 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
855 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
856 changes in the Moose internals.
858 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
859 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
860 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
863 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
864 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
865 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
866 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
868 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
869 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
870 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
871 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
873 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
874 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
875 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
876 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
877 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
878 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
879 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
880 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
881 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
882 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
883 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
884 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
885 constraint implementations.
887 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
891 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
892 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
893 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
894 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
895 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
896 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
897 - added tests for this (rafl)
900 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
901 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
902 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
903 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
904 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
905 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
906 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
907 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
910 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
911 - added tests for this (thepler)
913 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
914 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
915 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
916 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
921 * Moose::Meta::Method
924 * Moose::Error::Default
925 * Moose::Error::Croak
926 * Moose::Error::Confess
927 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
928 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
929 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
930 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
931 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
932 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
934 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
936 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
937 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
940 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
941 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
942 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
944 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
945 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
946 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
947 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
948 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
951 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
952 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
954 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
955 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
956 several major changes in this release of Moose.
957 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
960 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
962 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
963 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
965 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
970 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
971 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
973 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
975 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
976 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
977 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
978 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
979 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
980 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
982 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
983 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
984 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
986 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
987 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
988 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
991 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
992 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
993 dependency to 0.64_07.
995 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
996 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
997 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1000 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1003 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1004 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1005 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1006 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1007 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1008 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1010 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1011 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1013 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1015 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1016 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1020 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1021 method when that method was provided by another role being
1022 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1023 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1025 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1027 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1028 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1030 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1031 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1032 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1033 - added test for this (t0m)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1036 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1037 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1039 - added test for this (t0m)
1042 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1043 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1044 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1047 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1048 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1050 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1052 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1053 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1055 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1056 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1057 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1059 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1060 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1063 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1064 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1065 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1066 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1070 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1071 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1072 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1075 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1076 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1077 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1078 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1081 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1085 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1086 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1087 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1089 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1090 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1091 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1092 created so that the process can be more easily
1093 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1095 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1096 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1097 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1098 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1100 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1101 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1104 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1105 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1107 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1108 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1109 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1111 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1112 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1113 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1115 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1116 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1118 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1119 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1122 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1123 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1127 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1128 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1130 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1131 ... this is not my day today ...
1133 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1134 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1135 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1136 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1137 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1140 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1141 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1142 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1143 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1144 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1147 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1149 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1150 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1151 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1152 this is not ever something you want to do
1153 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1154 - added tests for this (stevan)
1157 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1159 - added test for this
1161 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1162 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1163 - added tests for this (wreis)
1165 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1166 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1167 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1168 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1170 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1171 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1172 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1175 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1177 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1179 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1182 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1183 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1184 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1185 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1186 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1187 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1188 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1189 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1190 - added tests for this
1192 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1193 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1194 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1195 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1197 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1199 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1200 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1201 - added tests for this (sartak)
1202 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1203 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1206 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1208 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1209 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1211 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1212 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1213 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1214 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1216 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1218 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1219 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1222 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1223 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1224 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1227 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1228 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1230 - added docs for this (TODO).
1231 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1232 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1233 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1239 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1241 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1242 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1243 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1247 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1251 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1252 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1253 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1255 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1256 - move the ClassName type check code to
1257 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1259 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1260 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1262 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1263 (early morning release engineering)--
1265 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1266 which was causing the indexer to choke
1268 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1269 (late night release engineering)--
1271 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1272 changes in this release
1274 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1275 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1276 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1278 * Moose::Meta::Class
1279 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1280 since it is called so often by &meta
1282 * Moose::Meta::Class
1284 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1285 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1289 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1290 method for immutablization to check if the
1291 destructor object even needs to be created
1294 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1295 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1296 - added more descriptive error message to help
1297 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1298 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1300 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1302 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1303 XS based functionality is now optional
1304 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1305 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1306 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1308 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1309 to take care of this, mostly we added
1310 support for the package_name and name
1311 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1312 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1313 support regexp matching of names
1314 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1315 - tests added for this
1316 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1317 is currently not supported in roles,
1318 but, ... patches welcome
1319 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1320 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1321 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1324 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1325 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1326 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1327 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1328 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1329 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1330 - added test for this
1332 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1333 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1334 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1337 * Moose::Meta::Class
1338 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1342 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1344 - added tests for this
1345 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1346 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1348 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1349 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1350 themselves parameterizable types
1352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1353 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1354 called by the inlined immutable
1356 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1358 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1359 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1360 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1361 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1363 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1364 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1368 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1369 causing occasional cpantester failures
1370 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1371 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1373 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1375 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1376 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1379 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1380 ->body when looping through the
1381 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1383 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1384 eating the $@ values, and so not
1385 working correctly, it still kind of
1386 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1387 - added tests for this
1389 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1390 - added new recipe for immutable
1391 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1393 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1394 - added new recipe for builder and
1395 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1397 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1398 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1399 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1402 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1404 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat

1407 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1409 drink more coffee before
1410 doing release engineering
1412 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1414 modules. This fixes that.
1416 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1417 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else

1527 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1529 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1573 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1574 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1879 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1882 * Parameterized Types
1883 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1884 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1885 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1886 They can also be nested:
1887 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1888 And work with the type unions as well:
1889 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1891 * Better Framework Extendability
1892 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1893 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1894 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1895 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1898 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1899 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1900 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1901 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2077 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2078 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2079 - added tests for this
2081 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2083 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
2084 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
2085 - altered unimport tests to handle this
2088 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
2090 * Moose::Meta::Class
2091 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
2092 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
2095 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2096 where not handled correctly in roles
2097 - added tests for this
2099 * Moose::Meta::Class
2100 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2101 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2102 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2104 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2105 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2107 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2108 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2109 so this release is just to fix that.
2112 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2113 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2114 (thanks to konobi for this)
2115 - added tests and docs
2117 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2118 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2120 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2121 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2122 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2123 - added tests for this
2124 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2125 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2126 functions to facilitate introspection.
2128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2129 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2130 to build the list of delegated methods
2131 correctly (and not override important
2132 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2134 - added tests and docs for this
2135 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2136 so that you can actually document your
2137 attributes and inspect them through the
2139 - added tests and docs for this
2141 * Moose::Meta::Class
2142 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2143 it will first look in for the class in the
2144 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2145 then default to just loading $name.
2146 - added tests and docs for this
2148 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2149 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2150 - added test for this
2153 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2154 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2155 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2156 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2158 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2159 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2162 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2164 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2165 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2166 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2169 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2170 !! for this developer release to work !!
2172 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2173 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2174 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2175 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2176 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2177 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2178 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2179 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2180 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2181 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2182 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2184 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2185 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2186 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2187 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2190 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2191 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2192 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2193 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2194 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2196 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2198 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2199 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2202 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2203 called unless they actually need to be.
2204 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2205 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2206 DEMOLISH method present.
2208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2209 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2210 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2211 type constraint, which allows for a
2212 hand optimized version of the type
2213 constraint to be used when possible.
2214 - Any internally created type constraints
2215 now provide an optimized version as well.
2217 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2219 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2220 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2221 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2223 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2224 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2225 your class namespace of these exported
2228 * Moose::Meta::Class
2229 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2230 comes up during global destruction
2232 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2236 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2240 - changed how we do type checks so that
2241 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2244 - moved accessor generation methods to
2245 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2246 conform to the API changes from
2249 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2250 - changed how constraints are compiled
2251 so that we do less recursion and more
2252 iteration. This makes the type check
2254 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2258 - created this from methods formerly found in
2259 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2261 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2262 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2264 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2265 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2267 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2268 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2270 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2273 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2274 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2275 - added tests for this
2276 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2277 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2278 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2279 - removed tests for this
2281 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2283 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2284 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2285 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2288 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2289 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2290 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2292 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2293 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2294 comments for more info.
2297 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2298 asked questions and common problems
2300 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2301 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2302 - added tests for this
2304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2305 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2306 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2307 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2309 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2310 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2313 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2314 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2315 is much appreciated :)
2316 - added tests for this
2318 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2319 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2320 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2323 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2324 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2326 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2328 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2329 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2333 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2334 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2335 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2337 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2339 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2342 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2343 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2344 keywords because we need to localize them.
2345 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2347 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2348 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2349 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2352 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2355 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2356 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2357 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2360 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2361 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2362 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2364 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2366 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2367 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2368 bottom of your class file.
2371 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2374 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2376 - improved error message when loading modules so
2377 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2378 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2379 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2382 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2383 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2384 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2386 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2387 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2389 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2390 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2391 turn them on for you.
2392 - added tests for this
2393 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2394 in Moose::Meta::Class

2421 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2422 - This release works in combination with
2423 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2424 release because it uses the a new
2425 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2426 complete Role implementation. It has
2427 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2428 the the previous CPAN version. This
2429 release also lacks good updated docs,
2430 the official release will have updated docs.
2433 - refactored the keyword exports
2434 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2435 accepts more than one Role at a time

2446 string enumerations which can be used as
2448 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2451 - more careful checking of params to new()
2454 - much work done on the role composition
2455 - many new tests for conflict detection
2456 and composition edge cases
2457 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2458 looking at the tests
2460 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2461 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2462 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2464 * Moose::Meta::Class

2467 - some small additions to support Roles
2469 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2470 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2472 - some small changes to support the new
2474 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2475 with the 'handles' option
2476 - added several tests for this
2477 - no docs for this yet

2481 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2482 thanks to chansen for this commit
2483 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2484 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2485 on a per-attribute basis
2486 - added tests for this
2487 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2488 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
