1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 - Use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
6 if they're not installed
7 - Use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop test extraction and
8 general failures if you don't have the author side dependencies
12 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
13 - Grammar error [rt.cpan.org #51791] (Amir E. Aharoni)
14 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
15 - Changed Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets
16 from substr et al, again. (sorear)
18 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
20 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
24 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
26 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
27 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
28 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
30 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
31 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
32 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
34 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
35 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
38 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
39 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
42 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
43 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
44 remove_accessors. (doy)
46 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
47 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
48 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
50 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
51 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
53 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
54 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
55 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
56 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
59 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
60 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
62 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
63 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
65 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
67 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
68 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
71 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
72 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
73 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
74 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
75 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
77 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
78 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
79 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
80 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
81 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
82 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
83 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
86 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
87 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
88 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
89 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
90 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
92 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
93 which were not receiving the value of
94 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
95 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
96 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
97 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
101 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
102 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
103 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
104 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
105 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
108 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
109 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
110 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
111 - added tests for this (Stevan)
114 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
115 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
116 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
119 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
120 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
121 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
124 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
125 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
128 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
129 class if you pass it options for
130 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
131 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
132 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
133 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
134 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
135 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
136 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
137 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
138 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
140 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
141 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
142 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
143 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
144 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
147 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
149 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
150 existing delegation API. (hdp)
152 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
153 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
154 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
155 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
156 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
157 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
160 * Moose::Error::Croak
161 * Moose::Error::Confess
162 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
163 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
166 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
169 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
170 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
171 installing a broken sub. (doy)
174 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
177 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
178 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
179 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
181 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
182 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
183 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
184 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
185 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
187 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
188 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
191 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
193 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
194 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
197 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
198 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
200 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
201 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
202 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
203 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
205 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
206 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
207 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
208 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
209 using it for new code!
211 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
212 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
213 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
214 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
216 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
217 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
218 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
219 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
220 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
221 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
222 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
223 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
226 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
229 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
230 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
233 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
234 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
236 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
237 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
238 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
241 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
242 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
243 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
246 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
247 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
249 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
250 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
251 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
254 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
256 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
257 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
258 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
259 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
261 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
263 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
266 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
267 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
268 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
270 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
271 associated_methods. (hdp)
272 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
273 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
274 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
275 misspelled) arguments
277 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
278 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
279 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
280 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
283 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
284 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
286 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
289 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
290 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
291 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
294 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
295 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
297 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
299 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
300 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
302 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
303 * Moose::Manual::Types
304 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
305 string parsing rathole (mst)
307 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
308 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
309 using plain objects instead
311 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
312 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
315 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
317 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
318 three times today (perigrin)
319 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
320 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
323 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
324 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
325 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
328 - A role's required methods are now represented by
329 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
330 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
331 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
332 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
333 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
336 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
337 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
338 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
339 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
342 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
344 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
347 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
349 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
352 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
353 during global destruction. This method has been made more
354 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
358 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
359 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
362 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
363 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
365 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
366 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
367 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
370 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
372 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
373 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
376 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
380 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
381 methods during global destruction (doy)
384 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
385 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
389 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
390 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
393 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
394 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
397 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
398 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
400 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
402 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
406 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
407 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
408 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
411 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
412 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
413 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
416 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
418 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
419 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
420 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
423 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
424 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
425 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
426 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
428 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
429 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
430 of the Moose core (Sartak)
433 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
436 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
437 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
438 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
442 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
443 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
446 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
448 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
451 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
452 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
455 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
456 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
459 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
460 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
463 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
466 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
468 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
469 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
473 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
475 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
476 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
479 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
480 * More deprecations and renamings
481 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
482 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
483 when an object is constructed)
486 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
487 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
488 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
490 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
491 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
492 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
493 feature, and it works again.
496 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
498 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
500 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
501 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
502 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
504 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
505 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
506 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
507 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
508 message. Test provided by perigrin.
510 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
511 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
512 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
513 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
514 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
517 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
518 metaclass object. (hdp)
520 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
521 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
522 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
523 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
524 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
525 point out this fact. (hdp)
527 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
528 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
530 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
531 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
534 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
535 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
536 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
537 called during instance construction were passed the
538 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
539 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
541 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
542 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
545 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
546 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
547 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
550 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
551 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
552 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
553 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
554 them, but they are not for "public" use.
557 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
559 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
560 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
561 when an object is constructed)
562 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
564 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
565 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
566 when an object is constructed)
567 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
568 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
569 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
572 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
574 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
575 * No changes from 0.72_01.
577 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
579 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
580 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
581 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
583 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
584 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
585 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
587 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
589 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
590 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
592 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
593 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
596 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
597 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
600 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
601 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
602 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
604 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
605 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
609 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
610 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
611 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
613 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
614 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
617 * Moose::Manual::Delta
618 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
619 with recommended workarounds.
621 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
622 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
624 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
625 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
626 (yes, spelled like that).
628 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
629 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
632 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
633 changes in latest Class::MOP.
635 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
637 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
638 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
639 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
640 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
641 instead. Reported by doy.
643 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
645 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
646 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
648 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
649 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
650 message) is now deprecated.
651 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
652 often got it wrong. For example:
654 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
656 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
660 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
661 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
662 bite you in weird cases.
664 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
665 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
666 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
669 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
670 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
674 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
677 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
678 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
681 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
682 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
684 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
685 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
688 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
689 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
690 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
691 - added tests for this (stevan)
693 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
694 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
695 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
696 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
700 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
701 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
702 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
703 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
705 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
706 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
707 - added tests for this (rafl)
709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
710 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
711 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
712 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
716 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
717 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
720 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
721 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
722 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
724 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
726 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
727 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
730 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
731 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
732 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
733 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
735 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
736 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
737 error message did not specify the attribute name
740 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
742 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
744 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
745 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
746 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
749 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
752 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
754 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
755 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
756 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
757 of fixes and formatting improvements.
759 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
761 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
762 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
763 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
764 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
766 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
767 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
768 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
770 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
771 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
772 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
773 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
774 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
777 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
778 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
779 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
780 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
783 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
784 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
785 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
786 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
787 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
789 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
790 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
791 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
792 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
793 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
794 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
796 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
797 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
799 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
800 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
801 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
802 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
804 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
805 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
808 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
812 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
813 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
815 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
816 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
817 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
820 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
822 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
824 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
825 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
826 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
827 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
830 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
833 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
834 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
836 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
838 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
841 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
842 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
843 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
844 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
845 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
846 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
848 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
849 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
850 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
851 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
852 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
853 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
854 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
855 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
856 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
857 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
859 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
861 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
862 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
864 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
865 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
866 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
867 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
869 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
870 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
871 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
872 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
873 same methods for a single role did not work
874 right (worked just fine with multiple
876 - added test for this (stevan)
878 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
879 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
880 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
883 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
884 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
885 - added test for this (t0m)
888 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
889 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
890 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
893 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
894 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
895 - added test for this (t0m)
897 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
898 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
899 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
900 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
901 - added test for this (perigrin)
904 - create method for constructing a role
906 - added test for this (Sartak)
907 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
908 - added test for this (Sartak)
911 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
913 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
914 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
915 methods is useful (Sartak)
917 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
918 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
919 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
923 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
924 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
925 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
926 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
927 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
928 - added tests for this (jdv79)
931 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
932 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
934 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
935 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
936 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
937 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
938 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
940 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
942 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
943 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
944 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
947 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
948 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
949 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
950 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
951 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
952 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
955 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
956 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
957 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
958 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
959 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
960 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
961 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
962 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
963 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
964 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
965 future. (jnapiorkowski)
967 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
968 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
971 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
972 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
973 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
974 type. (jnapiorkowski)
975 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
977 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
979 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
980 predicate, and link to more details sections in
981 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
983 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
984 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
986 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
987 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
988 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
989 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
992 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
993 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
995 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
997 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
998 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1000 * Moose::Meta::Class
1001 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1002 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1003 a required attribute
1005 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1006 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1007 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1008 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1010 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1011 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1013 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1014 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1015 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1016 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1017 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1018 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1019 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1020 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1022 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1023 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1024 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1026 * Roles and role application
1027 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1028 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1029 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1030 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1031 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1033 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1034 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1037 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1038 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1039 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1040 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1041 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1044 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1045 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1046 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1047 changes in the Moose internals.
1049 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1050 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1051 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1054 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1055 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1056 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1057 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1059 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1060 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1061 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1062 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1064 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1065 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1066 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1067 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1068 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1069 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1070 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1071 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1072 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1073 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1074 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1075 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1076 constraint implementations.
1078 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1082 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1083 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1084 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1085 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1086 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1087 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1088 - added tests for this (rafl)
1090 * Moose::Meta::Class
1091 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1092 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1093 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1094 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1095 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1096 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1097 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1098 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1101 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1102 - added tests for this (thepler)
1104 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1105 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1106 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1107 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1110 * Moose::Meta::Class
1111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1112 * Moose::Meta::Method
1115 * Moose::Error::Default
1116 * Moose::Error::Croak
1117 * Moose::Error::Confess
1118 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1119 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1120 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1121 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1122 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1123 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1125 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1127 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1128 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1130 * Moose::Unsweetened
1131 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1132 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1133 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1135 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1136 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1137 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1138 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1139 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1142 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1143 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1145 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1146 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1147 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1148 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1151 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1153 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1154 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1156 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1159 - Various bug fixes.
1161 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1162 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1164 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1166 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1167 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1168 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1169 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1170 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1171 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1173 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1174 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1175 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1177 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1178 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1179 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1182 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1183 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1184 dependency to 0.64_07.
1186 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1187 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1188 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1191 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1194 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1195 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1196 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1197 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1198 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1199 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1201 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1202 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1204 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1206 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1207 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1211 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1212 method when that method was provided by another role being
1213 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1214 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1216 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1218 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1219 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1221 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1222 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1223 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1224 - added test for this (t0m)
1226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1227 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1228 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1230 - added test for this (t0m)
1233 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1234 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1235 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1238 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1239 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1241 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1243 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1244 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1246 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1247 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1248 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1250 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1251 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1254 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1255 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1256 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1257 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1261 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1262 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1263 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1266 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1267 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1268 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1269 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1272 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1276 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1277 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1278 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1280 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1282 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1283 created so that the process can be more easily
1284 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1286 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1287 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1288 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1289 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1291 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1292 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1295 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1296 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1298 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1299 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1300 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1302 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1303 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1304 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1306 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1307 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1309 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1310 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1313 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1314 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1318 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1319 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1321 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1322 ... this is not my day today ...
1324 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1325 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1326 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1327 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1328 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1331 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1332 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1333 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1334 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1335 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1338 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1340 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1341 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1342 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1343 this is not ever something you want to do
1344 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1345 - added tests for this (stevan)
1348 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1350 - added test for this

1373 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1374 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1375 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1376 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1377 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1378 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1379 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1380 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1381 - added tests for this
1383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1384 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2040 - Changed slot initialization for predicate changes (groditi)
2042 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2043 - Added support for lazy_build option (groditi)
2044 - Fix inline methods to work with corrected predicate
2047 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2048 - Added support for lazy_build option (groditi)
2051 - tests for builder and lazy_build (groditi)
2053 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2054 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2057 - fixed how required methods are handled
2058 when they encounter overriden or modified
2059 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2060 - added tests for this
2062 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2063 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2064 the | always creates a union and so is
2065 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2066 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2068 - added more tests for this
2070 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2073 * Parameterized Types
2074 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2075 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2076 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2077 They can also be nested:
2078 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2079 And work with the type unions as well:
2080 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2082 * Better Framework Extendability
2083 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2084 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2085 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2086 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2089 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2090 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2091 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2092 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2095 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2097 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2098 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2129 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2131 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2132 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2133 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2134 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)

2137 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2138 - updated the accompanying test as well
2140 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2141 +++ with new features added as well +++
2143 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2147 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2149 - added tests for this
2151 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2157 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2158 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2160 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2161 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2162 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2163 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2177 (thanks to shlomif).
2179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2180 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2181 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2182 - added tests for this
2183 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2185 - added tests for this

2219 - added tests for these
2221 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2222 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2224 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2225 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

2230 (but not changing the handles option)
2231 - added tests and docs for this
2234 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2235 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2238 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2239 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2240 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2246 the other side (perigrin)
2248 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2249 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2250 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2251 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2252 prototypes for functions
2253 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2254 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2255 - added tests and docs for this

2262 merlyn for finding this bug
2263 - tests added for this
2264 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2267 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2268 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2269 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2270 - added tests for this
2272 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2274 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2287 where not handled correctly in roles
2288 - added tests for this
2290 * Moose::Meta::Class
2291 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2292 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2293 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2295 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2296 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2298 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2299 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2300 so this release is just to fix that.
2303 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2304 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2305 (thanks to konobi for this)
2306 - added tests and docs
2308 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2309 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2311 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2312 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2313 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2314 - added tests for this
2315 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2316 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2317 functions to facilitate introspection.
2319 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2320 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2321 to build the list of delegated methods
2322 correctly (and not override important
2323 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2325 - added tests and docs for this
2326 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2327 so that you can actually document your
2328 attributes and inspect them through the
2330 - added tests and docs for this
2332 * Moose::Meta::Class
2333 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2334 it will first look in for the class in the
2335 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2336 then default to just loading $name.
2337 - added tests and docs for this
2339 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2340 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2341 - added test for this
2344 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2345 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2346 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2347 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2349 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2350 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2353 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2355 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2356 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2357 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2360 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2361 !! for this developer release to work !!
2363 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2364 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2365 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2366 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2367 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2368 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2369 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2370 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2371 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2372 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2373 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2375 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2376 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2377 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2378 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2381 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2382 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2383 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2384 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2385 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2387 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2389 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2390 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2393 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2394 called unless they actually need to be.
2395 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2396 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2397 DEMOLISH method present.
2399 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2400 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2401 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2402 type constraint, which allows for a
2403 hand optimized version of the type
2404 constraint to be used when possible.
2405 - Any internally created type constraints
2406 now provide an optimized version as well.
2408 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2410 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2411 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2412 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2414 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2415 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2416 your class namespace of these exported
2419 * Moose::Meta::Class
2420 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2421 comes up during global destruction
2423 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2427 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2430 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2431 - changed how we do type checks so that
2432 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2435 - moved accessor generation methods to
2436 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2437 conform to the API changes from
2440 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2441 - changed how constraints are compiled
2442 so that we do less recursion and more
2443 iteration. This makes the type check
2445 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2448 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2449 - created this from methods formerly found in
2450 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2452 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2453 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2455 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2456 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2458 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2459 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2461 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2464 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2465 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2466 - added tests for this
2467 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2468 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2469 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2470 - removed tests for this
2472 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2474 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2475 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2476 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2479 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2480 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2481 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2483 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2484 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2485 comments for more info.
2488 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2489 asked questions and common problems
2491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2492 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2493 - added tests for this
2495 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2496 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2497 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2498 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2500 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2501 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2504 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2505 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2506 is much appreciated :)
2507 - added tests for this
2509 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2510 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2511 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2514 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2515 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2517 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2519 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2520 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2524 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2525 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2526 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2528 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2530 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2533 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2534 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2535 keywords because we need to localize them.
2536 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2538 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2539 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2540 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2543 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2546 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2547 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2548 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2551 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2552 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2553 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2555 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2557 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2558 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2559 bottom of your class file.
2562 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2565 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2567 - improved error message when loading modules so
2568 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2569 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2570 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2573 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2574 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2575 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2577 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2578 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2580 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2581 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2582 turn them on for you.
2583 - added tests for this
2584 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2585 in Moose::Meta::Class
2588 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2589 automatically turned on for you.
2590 - added tests for this
2593 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2594 - added tests for this
2595 - added some more edge case tests

2608 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2611 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2612 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2613 - This release works in combination with
2614 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2615 release because it uses the a new
2616 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2617 complete Role implementation. It has
2618 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2619 the the previous CPAN version. This
2620 release also lacks good updated docs,
2621 the official release will have updated docs.
2624 - refactored the keyword exports
2625 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2626 accepts more than one Role at a time
2627 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2628 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2631 - refactored the keyword exports
2632 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2633 accepts more than one Role at a time
2635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2636 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2637 string enumerations which can be used as
2639 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2642 - more careful checking of params to new()
2645 - much work done on the role composition
2646 - many new tests for conflict detection
2647 and composition edge cases
2648 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2649 looking at the tests
2651 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2652 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2653 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2655 * Moose::Meta::Class
2656 - some small changes to support the new
2658 - some small additions to support Roles
2660 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2661 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2663 - some small changes to support the new
2665 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2666 with the 'handles' option
2667 - added several tests for this
2668 - no docs for this yet
2670 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2672 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2673 thanks to chansen for this commit
2674 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2675 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2676 on a per-attribute basis
2677 - added tests for this
2678 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2679 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2680 experimental feature and probably not finished
2681 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2682 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2683 - added tests for this
2686 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2693 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2694 thanks to chansen for this commit

2697 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
2698 construct_instance (for the better)
2700 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2701 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2702 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)

2705 - added type constraint unions
2706 - added tests for this

2742 should DWIM in 99.9999% of all cases
2744 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2745 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
