1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
7 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
10 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
11 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
12 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
13 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
14 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
16 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
17 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
18 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
19 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
20 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
21 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
22 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
25 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
26 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
27 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
28 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
29 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
31 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
32 which were not receiving the value of
33 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
34 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
35 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
36 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
40 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
41 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
42 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
44 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
45 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
46 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
47 - added tests for this (Stevan)
50 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
51 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
52 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
55 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
56 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
57 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
59 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
60 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
61 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
64 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
65 class if you pass it options for
66 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
67 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
68 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
69 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
70 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
71 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
72 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
73 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
74 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
76 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
77 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
78 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
79 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
80 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
83 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
84 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
85 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
86 existing delegation API. (hdp)
88 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
89 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
90 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
91 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
92 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
93 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
97 * Moose::Error::Confess
98 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
99 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
102 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
105 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
106 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
107 installing a broken sub. (doy)
110 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
113 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
114 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
115 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
117 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
118 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
119 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
120 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
121 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
123 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
124 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
127 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
129 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
130 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
133 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
134 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
137 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
138 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
139 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
141 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
142 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
143 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
144 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
145 using it for new code!
147 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
148 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
149 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
150 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
152 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
153 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
154 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
155 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
156 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
157 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
158 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
159 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
162 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
165 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
166 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
169 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
170 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
172 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
173 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
174 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
177 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
178 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
179 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
182 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
183 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
185 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
186 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
187 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
190 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
191 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
192 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
193 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
194 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
195 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
197 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
199 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
202 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
203 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
204 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
206 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
207 associated_methods. (hdp)
208 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
209 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
210 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
211 misspelled) arguments
213 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
214 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
215 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
216 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
218 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
219 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
220 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
222 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
226 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
227 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
230 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
231 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
233 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
235 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
236 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
238 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
239 * Moose::Manual::Types
240 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
241 string parsing rathole (mst)
243 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
244 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
245 using plain objects instead
247 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
248 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
251 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
253 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
254 three times today (perigrin)
255 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
256 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
258 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
259 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
260 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
261 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
264 - A role's required methods are now represented by
265 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
266 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
267 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
268 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
269 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
272 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
273 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
274 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
275 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
278 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
280 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
283 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
285 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
288 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
289 during global destruction. This method has been made more
290 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
294 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
295 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
298 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
299 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
301 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
302 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
303 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
306 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
308 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
309 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
312 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
316 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
317 methods during global destruction (doy)
320 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
321 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
325 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
326 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
329 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
330 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
333 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
334 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
336 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
338 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
342 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
343 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
344 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
347 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
348 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
349 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
352 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
354 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
355 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
356 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
359 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
360 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
361 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
362 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
364 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
365 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
366 of the Moose core (Sartak)
369 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
372 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
373 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
374 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
378 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
379 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
382 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
384 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
387 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
388 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
391 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
392 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
395 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
396 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
399 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
402 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
404 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
405 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
409 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
411 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
412 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
415 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
416 * More deprecations and renamings
417 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
418 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
419 when an object is constructed)
422 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
423 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
424 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
426 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
427 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
428 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
429 feature, and it works again.
432 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
434 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
436 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
437 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
438 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
441 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
442 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
443 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
444 message. Test provided by perigrin.
446 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
447 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
448 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
449 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
450 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
453 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
454 metaclass object. (hdp)
456 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
457 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
458 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
459 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
460 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
461 point out this fact. (hdp)
463 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
464 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
466 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
467 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
470 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
471 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
472 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
473 called during instance construction were passed the
474 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
475 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
477 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
478 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
481 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
482 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
483 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
486 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
487 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
488 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
489 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
490 them, but they are not for "public" use.
493 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
495 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
496 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
497 when an object is constructed)
498 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
500 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
501 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
502 when an object is constructed)
503 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
504 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
505 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
508 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
510 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
511 * No changes from 0.72_01.
513 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
515 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
516 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
517 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
519 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
520 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
521 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
523 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
525 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
526 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
528 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
529 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
532 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
533 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
536 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
537 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
538 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
540 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
541 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
545 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
546 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
547 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
549 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
550 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
553 * Moose::Manual::Delta
554 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
555 with recommended workarounds.
557 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
558 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
560 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
561 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
562 (yes, spelled like that).
564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
565 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
568 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
569 changes in latest Class::MOP.
571 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
573 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
574 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
575 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
576 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
577 instead. Reported by doy.
579 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
581 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
582 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
584 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
585 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
586 message) is now deprecated.
587 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
588 often got it wrong. For example:
590 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
592 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
596 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
597 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
598 bite you in weird cases.
600 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
601 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
602 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
605 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
606 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
610 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
613 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
614 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
617 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
618 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
620 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
621 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
624 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
625 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
626 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
627 - added tests for this (stevan)
629 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
630 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
631 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
632 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
636 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
637 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
638 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
639 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
641 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
642 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
643 - added tests for this (rafl)
645 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
646 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
647 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
648 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
652 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
653 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
656 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
657 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
658 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
660 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
662 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
663 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
666 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
667 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
668 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
669 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
671 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
672 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
673 error message did not specify the attribute name
676 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
678 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
680 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
681 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
682 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
684 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
685 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
688 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
690 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
691 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
692 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
693 of fixes and formatting improvements.
695 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
697 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
698 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
699 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
700 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
702 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
703 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
704 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
706 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
707 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
708 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
709 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
710 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
712 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
713 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
714 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
715 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
716 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
718 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
719 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
720 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
721 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
722 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
723 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
725 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
726 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
727 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
728 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
729 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
730 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
732 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
733 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
735 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
736 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
737 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
738 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
740 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
741 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
744 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
748 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
749 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
751 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
752 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
753 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
756 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
757 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
758 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
760 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
761 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
762 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
763 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
766 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
769 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
770 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
772 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
774 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
777 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
778 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
779 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
780 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
781 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
782 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
784 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
785 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
786 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
787 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
788 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
789 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
790 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
791 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
792 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
793 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
795 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
797 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
798 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
800 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
801 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
802 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
803 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
805 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
806 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
807 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
808 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
809 same methods for a single role did not work
810 right (worked just fine with multiple
812 - added test for this (stevan)
814 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
815 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
816 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
819 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
820 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
821 - added test for this (t0m)
824 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
825 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
826 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
828 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
829 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
830 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
831 - added test for this (t0m)
833 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
834 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
835 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
836 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
837 - added test for this (perigrin)
840 - create method for constructing a role
842 - added test for this (Sartak)
843 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
844 - added test for this (Sartak)
847 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
849 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
850 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
851 methods is useful (Sartak)
853 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
854 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
855 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
859 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
860 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
861 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
862 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
863 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
864 - added tests for this (jdv79)
867 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
868 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
870 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
871 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
872 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
873 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
874 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
876 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
878 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
879 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
880 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
883 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
884 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
885 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
886 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
887 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
888 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
891 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
892 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
893 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
894 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
895 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
896 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
897 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
898 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
899 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
900 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
901 future. (jnapiorkowski)
903 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
904 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
907 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
908 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
909 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
910 type. (jnapiorkowski)
911 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
913 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
915 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
916 predicate, and link to more details sections in
917 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
919 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
920 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
922 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
923 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
924 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
925 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
928 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
929 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
931 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
933 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
934 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
937 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
938 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
941 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
942 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
943 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
944 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
946 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
947 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
949 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
950 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
951 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
952 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
953 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
954 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
955 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
956 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
958 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
959 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
960 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
962 * Roles and role application
963 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
964 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
965 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
966 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
967 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
969 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
970 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
973 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
974 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
975 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
976 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
977 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
980 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
981 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
982 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
983 changes in the Moose internals.
985 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
987 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
990 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
991 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
992 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
993 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
995 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
996 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
997 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
998 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1000 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1001 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1002 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1003 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1004 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1005 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1006 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1007 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1008 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1009 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1010 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1011 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1012 constraint implementations.
1014 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1018 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1019 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1020 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1021 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1022 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1023 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1024 - added tests for this (rafl)
1026 * Moose::Meta::Class
1027 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1028 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1029 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1030 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1031 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1032 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1033 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1034 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1037 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1038 - added tests for this (thepler)
1040 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1041 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1042 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1043 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1046 * Moose::Meta::Class
1047 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1048 * Moose::Meta::Method
1051 * Moose::Error::Default
1052 * Moose::Error::Croak
1053 * Moose::Error::Confess
1054 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1055 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1056 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1057 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1058 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1059 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1061 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1063 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1064 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1066 * Moose::Unsweetened
1067 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1068 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1069 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1071 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1072 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1073 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1074 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1075 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1078 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1079 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1081 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1082 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1083 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1084 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1087 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1089 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1090 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1092 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1095 - Various bug fixes.
1097 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1098 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1100 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1102 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1103 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1104 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1105 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1106 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1107 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1109 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1110 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1111 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1113 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1114 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1115 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1118 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1119 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1120 dependency to 0.64_07.
1122 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1123 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1124 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1126 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1127 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1130 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1131 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1132 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1133 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1134 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1135 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1137 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1138 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1140 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1142 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1143 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1147 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1148 method when that method was provided by another role being
1149 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1150 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1152 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1154 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1155 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1158 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1159 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1160 - added test for this (t0m)
1162 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1163 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1164 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1166 - added test for this (t0m)
1169 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1170 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1171 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1174 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1175 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1177 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1179 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1180 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1182 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1183 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1184 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1186 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1187 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1190 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1191 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1192 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1193 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1197 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1198 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1199 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1202 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1203 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1204 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1205 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1208 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1212 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1213 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1214 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1216 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1218 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1219 created so that the process can be more easily
1220 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1222 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1223 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1224 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1225 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1228 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1231 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1232 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1234 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1235 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1236 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1238 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1239 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1240 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1242 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1243 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1245 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1246 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1249 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1250 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1254 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1255 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1257 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1258 ... this is not my day today ...
1260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1261 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1262 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1263 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1264 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1267 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1268 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1269 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1270 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1271 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1274 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1276 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1277 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1278 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1279 this is not ever something you want to do
1280 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1281 - added tests for this (stevan)
1284 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1286 - added test for this
1288 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1289 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1290 - added tests for this (wreis)
1292 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1293 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1294 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1295 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1297 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1298 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1299 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1302 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1304 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1306 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1309 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1310 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1311 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1312 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1313 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1314 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1315 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1316 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1317 - added tests for this
1319 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1320 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1321 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1322 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1324 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1327 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1328 - added tests for this (sartak)
1329 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1330 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1333 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1335 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1336 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1339 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1340 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1341 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1343 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1345 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1346 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1349 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1350 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1351 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1354 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1355 custom defined reader, writer and accessor

1430 XS based functionality is now optional
1431 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1432 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1433 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1507 ->body when looping through the
1508 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1510 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1511 eating the $@ values, and so not
1512 working correctly, it still kind of
1513 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1514 - added tests for this

1536 drink more coffee before
1537 doing release engineering
1539 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1654 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1656 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1994 when they encounter overriden or modified
1995 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1996 - added tests for this
1998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1999 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2000 the | always creates a union and so is

2006 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2009 * Parameterized Types
2010 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2011 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2012 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2013 They can also be nested:
2014 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2015 And work with the type unions as well:
2016 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2018 * Better Framework Extendability
2019 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2020 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2021 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2022 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2025 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2026 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2027 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2028 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2031 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2033 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2034 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2037 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
2038 set it to inline the accessors

2094 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2096 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2200 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2203 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2204 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2205 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2206 - added tests for this
2208 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2210 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2253 functions to facilitate introspection.
2255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2262 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2263 so that you can actually document your
2264 attributes and inspect them through the

2268 * Moose::Meta::Class
2269 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses

2271 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2272 then default to just loading $name.
2273 - added tests and docs for this
2275 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2276 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2277 - added test for this
2280 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2281 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2282 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2283 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2285 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2286 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2289 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2291 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2292 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2293 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2296 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2297 !! for this developer release to work !!
2299 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2300 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2301 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2302 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2303 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2304 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2305 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2306 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2307 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2308 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2309 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2311 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2312 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2313 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2314 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2317 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2318 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2319 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2320 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2321 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2323 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2325 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2326 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2329 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2330 called unless they actually need to be.
2331 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2332 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2333 DEMOLISH method present.
2335 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2336 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2337 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2338 type constraint, which allows for a
2339 hand optimized version of the type
2340 constraint to be used when possible.
2341 - Any internally created type constraints
2342 now provide an optimized version as well.
2344 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2346 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2347 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2348 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2350 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2351 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2352 your class namespace of these exported
2355 * Moose::Meta::Class
2356 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2357 comes up during global destruction
2359 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2363 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2366 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2367 - changed how we do type checks so that
2368 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2371 - moved accessor generation methods to
2372 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2373 conform to the API changes from
2376 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2377 - changed how constraints are compiled
2378 so that we do less recursion and more
2379 iteration. This makes the type check
2381 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2384 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2385 - created this from methods formerly found in
2386 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2388 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2389 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2391 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2392 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

2397 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2399 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2400 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2401 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2402 - added tests for this
2403 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2404 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2405 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2406 - removed tests for this
2408 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2410 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2411 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2412 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2415 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2416 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2417 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2419 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2420 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2421 comments for more info.
2424 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2425 asked questions and common problems
2427 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2428 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2429 - added tests for this
2431 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2432 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2433 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2434 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2436 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2437 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2440 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2441 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2442 is much appreciated :)
2443 - added tests for this
2445 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2446 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2447 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2450 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2451 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2453 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2455 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2456 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2460 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2461 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2462 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2464 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2466 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2469 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2470 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2471 keywords because we need to localize them.
2472 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2474 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2475 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2476 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2479 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2482 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2483 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2484 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2487 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2488 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2489 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2491 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2493 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2494 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2495 bottom of your class file.
2498 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2501 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2503 - improved error message when loading modules so
2504 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2505 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2506 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2509 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2510 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2511 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2548 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2549 - This release works in combination with
2550 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2551 release because it uses the a new
2552 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2553 complete Role implementation. It has
2554 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2555 the the previous CPAN version. This
2556 release also lacks good updated docs,
2557 the official release will have updated docs.
2560 - refactored the keyword exports
2561 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2562 accepts more than one Role at a time

2581 - much work done on the role composition
2582 - many new tests for conflict detection
2583 and composition edge cases
2584 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2585 looking at the tests
