1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
4 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2009
6 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
9 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2009
11 - Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
14 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
15 - Major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish between
16 metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the Moose::Util::MetaRole
17 docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
20 - The unimport subs it generates now clean up re-exported functions like
21 blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from somewhere
24 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
25 - Changed Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets
26 from substr et al, again. (sorear)
27 - Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
29 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
30 - This recipe was broken. Fix suggested by jrey.
33 - Add Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports to allow easier testing
34 of TypeConsraints from the command line. (perigrin)
37 - Added a with_immutable test function, to run a block of tests with and
38 without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
41 - Use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors if
43 - Use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop test extraction and general
44 failures if you don't have the author side dependencies installed
46 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
47 - Grammar error [rt.cpan.org #51791] (Amir E. Aharoni)
49 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
51 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
55 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
57 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
58 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
59 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
61 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
62 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
63 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
65 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
66 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
69 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
70 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
73 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
74 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
75 remove_accessors. (doy)
77 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
78 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
79 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
81 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
82 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
84 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
85 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
86 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
87 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
90 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
91 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
93 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
94 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
96 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
98 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
99 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
103 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
104 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
105 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
106 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
108 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
110 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
111 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
112 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
113 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
114 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
117 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
118 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
119 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
120 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
121 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
123 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
124 which were not receiving the value of
125 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
126 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
127 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
128 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
132 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
133 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
134 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
135 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
136 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
139 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
140 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
141 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
142 - added tests for this (Stevan)
145 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
146 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
147 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
150 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
152 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
154 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
155 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
156 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
159 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
160 class if you pass it options for
161 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
162 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
163 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
164 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
165 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
166 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
167 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
168 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
169 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
171 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
172 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
173 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
174 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
175 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
178 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
180 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
181 existing delegation API. (hdp)
183 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
184 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
185 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
186 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
187 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
188 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
191 * Moose::Error::Croak
192 * Moose::Error::Confess
193 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
194 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
197 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
200 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
201 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
202 installing a broken sub. (doy)
205 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
208 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
209 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
210 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
212 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
213 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
214 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
215 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
216 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
218 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
219 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
222 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
224 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
225 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
228 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
229 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
231 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
232 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
233 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
234 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
236 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
237 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
238 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
239 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
240 using it for new code!
242 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
243 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
244 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
245 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
247 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
248 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
249 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
250 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
251 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
252 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
253 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
254 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
257 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
260 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
261 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
265 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
268 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
269 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
273 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
274 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
277 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
278 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
280 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
281 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
282 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
285 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
287 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
288 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
289 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
290 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
292 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
294 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
298 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
299 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
301 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
302 associated_methods. (hdp)
303 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
304 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
305 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
306 misspelled) arguments
308 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
309 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
310 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
311 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
313 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
314 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
315 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
317 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
320 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
321 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
322 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
325 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
326 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
328 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
330 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
331 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
333 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
334 * Moose::Manual::Types
335 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
336 string parsing rathole (mst)
338 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
339 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
340 using plain objects instead
342 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
343 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
346 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
348 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
349 three times today (perigrin)
350 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
351 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
353 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
354 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
355 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
356 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
359 - A role's required methods are now represented by
360 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
361 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
362 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
363 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
364 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
367 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
368 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
369 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
370 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
373 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
375 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
378 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
380 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
383 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
384 during global destruction. This method has been made more
385 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
389 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
390 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
393 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
394 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
396 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
397 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
398 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
401 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
403 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
404 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
407 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
411 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
412 methods during global destruction (doy)
415 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
416 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
420 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
421 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
424 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
425 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
428 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
429 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
431 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
433 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
437 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
438 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
439 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
442 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
443 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
444 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
447 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
449 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
450 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
451 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
454 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
455 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
456 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
457 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
459 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
460 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
461 of the Moose core (Sartak)
464 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
467 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
468 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
469 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
473 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
474 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
477 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
479 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
482 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
483 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
486 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
487 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
490 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
491 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
494 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
497 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
499 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
500 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
504 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
506 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
507 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
510 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
511 * More deprecations and renamings
512 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
513 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
514 when an object is constructed)
517 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
518 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
519 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
521 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
522 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
523 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
524 feature, and it works again.
527 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
529 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
531 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
532 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
533 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
535 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
536 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
537 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
538 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
539 message. Test provided by perigrin.
541 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
542 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
543 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
544 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
545 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
548 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
549 metaclass object. (hdp)
551 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
552 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
553 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
554 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
555 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
556 point out this fact. (hdp)
558 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
559 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
561 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
562 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
565 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
566 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
567 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
568 called during instance construction were passed the
569 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
570 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
572 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
573 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
576 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
577 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
578 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
581 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
582 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
583 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
584 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
585 them, but they are not for "public" use.
588 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
590 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
591 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
592 when an object is constructed)
593 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
595 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
596 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
597 when an object is constructed)
598 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
599 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
600 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
603 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
605 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
606 * No changes from 0.72_01.
608 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
610 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
611 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
612 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
614 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
615 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
616 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
618 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
620 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
621 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
623 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
624 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
627 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
628 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
631 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
632 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
633 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
635 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
636 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
640 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
641 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
642 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
644 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
645 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
648 * Moose::Manual::Delta
649 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
650 with recommended workarounds.
652 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
653 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
655 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
656 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
657 (yes, spelled like that).
659 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
660 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
663 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
664 changes in latest Class::MOP.
666 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
669 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
670 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
671 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
672 instead. Reported by doy.
674 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
676 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
677 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
679 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
680 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
681 message) is now deprecated.
682 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
683 often got it wrong. For example:
685 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
687 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
691 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
692 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
693 bite you in weird cases.
695 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
696 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
697 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
700 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
701 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
705 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
708 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
709 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
712 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
713 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
715 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
716 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
719 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
720 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
721 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
722 - added tests for this (stevan)
724 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
725 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
726 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
727 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
731 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
732 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
733 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
734 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
736 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
737 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
738 - added tests for this (rafl)
740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
741 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
742 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
743 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
747 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
748 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
751 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
752 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
753 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
755 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
757 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
758 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
761 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
762 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
763 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
764 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
766 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
767 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
768 error message did not specify the attribute name
771 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
773 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
775 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
776 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
777 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
779 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
780 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
783 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
785 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
786 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
787 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
788 of fixes and formatting improvements.
790 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
792 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
793 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
794 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
795 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
797 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
798 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
799 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
801 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
802 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
803 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
804 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
805 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
807 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
808 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
809 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
810 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
811 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
813 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
814 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
815 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
816 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
817 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
818 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
820 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
821 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
822 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
823 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
824 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
825 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
827 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
828 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
830 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
831 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
832 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
833 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
835 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
836 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
839 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
843 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
844 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
846 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
847 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
848 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
851 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
852 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
853 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
855 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
856 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
857 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
858 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
861 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
864 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
865 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
867 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
869 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
872 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
873 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
874 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
875 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
876 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
877 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
879 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
880 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
881 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
882 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
883 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
884 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
885 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
886 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
887 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
888 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
890 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
892 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
893 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
896 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
897 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
898 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
900 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
901 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
902 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
903 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
904 same methods for a single role did not work
905 right (worked just fine with multiple
907 - added test for this (stevan)
909 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
910 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
911 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
914 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
915 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
916 - added test for this (t0m)
919 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
920 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
921 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
923 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
924 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
925 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
926 - added test for this (t0m)
928 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
929 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
930 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
931 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
932 - added test for this (perigrin)
935 - create method for constructing a role
937 - added test for this (Sartak)
938 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
939 - added test for this (Sartak)
942 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
944 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
945 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
946 methods is useful (Sartak)
948 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
949 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
950 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
954 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
955 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
956 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
957 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
958 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
959 - added tests for this (jdv79)
962 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
963 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
965 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
966 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
967 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
968 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
969 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
971 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
973 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
974 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
975 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
978 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
979 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
980 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
981 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
982 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
983 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
986 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
987 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
988 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
989 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
990 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
991 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
992 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
993 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
994 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
995 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
996 future. (jnapiorkowski)
998 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
999 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1002 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1003 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1004 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1005 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1006 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1008 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1010 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1011 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1012 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1014 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1015 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1017 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1018 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1019 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1020 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1023 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1024 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1026 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1028 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1029 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1031 * Moose::Meta::Class
1032 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1033 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1034 a required attribute
1036 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1037 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1038 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1039 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1041 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1042 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1044 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1045 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1046 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1047 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1048 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1049 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1050 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1051 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1053 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1054 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1055 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1057 * Roles and role application
1058 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1059 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1060 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1061 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1062 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1064 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1065 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1068 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1069 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1070 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1071 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1072 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1075 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1076 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1077 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1078 changes in the Moose internals.
1080 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1081 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1082 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1085 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1086 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1087 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1088 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1090 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1091 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1092 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1093 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1095 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1096 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1097 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1098 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1099 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1100 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1101 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1102 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1103 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1104 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1105 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1106 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1107 constraint implementations.
1109 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1113 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1114 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1115 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1116 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1117 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1118 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1119 - added tests for this (rafl)
1121 * Moose::Meta::Class
1122 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1123 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1124 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1125 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1126 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1127 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1128 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1129 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1132 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1133 - added tests for this (thepler)
1135 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1136 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1137 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1138 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1141 * Moose::Meta::Class
1142 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1143 * Moose::Meta::Method
1146 * Moose::Error::Default
1147 * Moose::Error::Croak
1148 * Moose::Error::Confess
1149 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1150 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1151 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1152 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1153 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1154 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1156 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1158 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1159 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1161 * Moose::Unsweetened
1162 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1163 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1164 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1166 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1167 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1168 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1169 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1170 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1173 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1174 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1176 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1177 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1178 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1179 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1182 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1184 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1185 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1187 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1190 - Various bug fixes.
1192 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1193 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1195 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1197 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1198 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1199 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1200 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1201 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1202 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1204 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1205 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1206 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1208 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1209 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1210 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1213 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1214 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1215 dependency to 0.64_07.
1217 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1218 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1219 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1221 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1222 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1225 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1226 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1227 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1228 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1229 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1230 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1233 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1235 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1237 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1238 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1242 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1243 method when that method was provided by another role being
1244 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1245 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1247 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1249 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1250 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1252 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1253 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1254 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1255 - added test for this (t0m)
1257 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1258 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1259 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1261 - added test for this (t0m)
1264 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1265 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1266 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1269 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1270 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1272 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1274 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1275 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1277 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1278 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1279 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1281 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1282 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1285 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1286 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1287 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1288 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1292 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1293 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1294 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1297 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1298 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1299 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1300 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1303 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1307 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1308 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1309 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1311 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1312 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1313 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1314 created so that the process can be more easily
1315 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1317 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1318 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1319 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1320 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1322 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1323 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1326 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1327 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1329 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1330 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1331 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1333 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1334 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1335 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1337 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1338 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1340 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1341 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1344 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1345 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1349 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1350 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1352 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1353 ... this is not my day today ...
1355 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1356 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1357 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1358 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1359 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1362 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1363 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1364 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1365 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1366 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1369 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1371 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1372 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1373 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1374 this is not ever something you want to do
1375 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1376 - added tests for this (stevan)
1379 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1381 - added test for this

1401 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1404 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1405 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1406 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1407 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1408 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1409 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1410 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1411 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1412 - added tests for this
1414 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1415 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1416 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1417 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1419 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1518 - added more descriptive error message to help
1519 keep people from wasting time tracking an error

1522 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1524 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1525 XS based functionality is now optional
1526 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1527 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1528 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2041 with work correctly.
2042 - added tests for this
2045 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2046 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2049 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2050 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2051 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)

2088 - fixed how required methods are handled
2089 when they encounter overriden or modified
2090 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2091 - added tests for this
2093 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2094 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2095 the | always creates a union and so is
2096 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2097 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2099 - added more tests for this
2101 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2104 * Parameterized Types
2105 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2106 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2107 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2108 They can also be nested:
2109 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2110 And work with the type unions as well:
2111 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2113 * Better Framework Extendability
2114 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2115 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2116 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2117 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2120 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2121 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2122 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2123 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2126 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2128 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2129 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2163 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2164 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2165 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2167 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2168 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

2178 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2180 - added tests for this
2182 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2188 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2189 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2191 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2192 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2193 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2194 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2208 (thanks to shlomif).
2210 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2211 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2212 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2213 - added tests for this
2214 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2216 - added tests for this
2218 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2219 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2250 - added tests for these
2252 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2253 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2256 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

2261 (but not changing the handles option)
2262 - added tests and docs for this
2265 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2266 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2267 - adjusted tests for this
2269 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2270 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2271 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2277 the other side (perigrin)
2279 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2280 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2281 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2282 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2283 prototypes for functions
2284 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2285 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2295 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2298 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2299 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2300 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2301 - added tests for this
2303 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2305 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2321 * Moose::Meta::Class
2322 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2323 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2324 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2326 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2327 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2329 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2330 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2331 so this release is just to fix that.
2334 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2335 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2336 (thanks to konobi for this)
2337 - added tests and docs
2339 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2340 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2342 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2343 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2344 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2345 - added tests for this

2347 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2348 functions to facilitate introspection.
2350 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2351 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2352 to build the list of delegated methods
2353 correctly (and not override important
2354 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2356 - added tests and docs for this
2357 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2358 so that you can actually document your
2359 attributes and inspect them through the
2361 - added tests and docs for this
2363 * Moose::Meta::Class
2364 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2365 it will first look in for the class in the
2366 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2367 then default to just loading $name.
2368 - added tests and docs for this
2370 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2371 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2372 - added test for this
2375 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2376 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2377 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2378 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2380 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2381 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2384 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2386 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2387 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2388 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2391 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2392 !! for this developer release to work !!
2394 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2395 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2396 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2397 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2398 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2399 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2400 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2401 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2402 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2403 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2404 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2406 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2407 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2408 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2409 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2412 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2413 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2414 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2415 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2416 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2418 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2420 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2421 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2424 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2425 called unless they actually need to be.
2426 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2427 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2428 DEMOLISH method present.
2430 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2431 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2432 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2433 type constraint, which allows for a
2434 hand optimized version of the type
2435 constraint to be used when possible.
2436 - Any internally created type constraints
2437 now provide an optimized version as well.
2439 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2441 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2442 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2443 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2445 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2446 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2447 your class namespace of these exported
2450 * Moose::Meta::Class
2451 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2452 comes up during global destruction
2454 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2458 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2461 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2462 - changed how we do type checks so that
2463 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2466 - moved accessor generation methods to
2467 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2468 conform to the API changes from
2471 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2472 - changed how constraints are compiled
2473 so that we do less recursion and more
2474 iteration. This makes the type check
2476 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2479 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2480 - created this from methods formerly found in
2481 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2483 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2484 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2486 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2487 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2489 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2490 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2492 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2494 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2495 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2496 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2497 - added tests for this
2498 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2499 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2500 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2501 - removed tests for this
2503 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2505 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2506 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2507 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2510 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2511 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2512 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2514 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2515 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2516 comments for more info.
2519 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2520 asked questions and common problems
2522 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2523 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2524 - added tests for this
2526 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2527 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2528 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2529 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2531 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2532 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2535 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2536 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2537 is much appreciated :)
2538 - added tests for this
2540 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2541 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2542 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2545 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2546 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2548 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2550 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2551 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2555 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2556 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2557 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2559 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2561 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2564 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2565 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2566 keywords because we need to localize them.
2567 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2569 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2570 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2571 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2574 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2577 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2578 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2579 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2582 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2583 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2584 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2586 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2588 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2589 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2590 bottom of your class file.
2593 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2596 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2598 - improved error message when loading modules so
2599 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2600 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2601 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2604 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2605 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2606 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2608 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2609 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2611 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2612 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2613 turn them on for you.
2614 - added tests for this
2615 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2616 in Moose::Meta::Class
2619 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2620 automatically turned on for you.
2621 - added tests for this
2624 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2625 - added tests for this
2626 - added some more edge case tests

2638 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2639 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2642 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2643 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2644 - This release works in combination with
2645 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2646 release because it uses the a new
2647 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2648 complete Role implementation. It has
2649 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2650 the the previous CPAN version. This
2651 release also lacks good updated docs,
2652 the official release will have updated docs.
2655 - refactored the keyword exports
2656 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2657 accepts more than one Role at a time
2658 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2659 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2662 - refactored the keyword exports
2663 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2664 accepts more than one Role at a time
2666 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2667 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2668 string enumerations which can be used as
2670 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2673 - more careful checking of params to new()
2676 - much work done on the role composition
2677 - many new tests for conflict detection
2678 and composition edge cases
2679 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2680 looking at the tests
2682 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2683 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2684 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2686 * Moose::Meta::Class
2687 - some small changes to support the new
2689 - some small additions to support Roles
2691 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2692 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2694 - some small changes to support the new
2696 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2697 with the 'handles' option
2698 - added several tests for this
2699 - no docs for this yet
2701 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2703 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2704 thanks to chansen for this commit
2705 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2706 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2707 on a per-attribute basis
2708 - added tests for this
2709 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2710 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2711 experimental feature and probably not finished
2712 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2713 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2714 - added tests for this
2717 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2719 * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints
2720 - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks
2721 to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice
2723 - added some tests for this
2724 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2725 thanks to chansen for this commit
2727 * Moose::Meta::Class
2728 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
2729 construct_instance (for the better)
2731 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2732 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2733 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
2735 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2736 - added type constraint unions
2737 - added tests for this
2738 - added the is_subtype_of predicate method
2739 - added tests for this
