1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
9 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
10 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
11 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
18 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
19 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
22 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
26 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
27 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
29 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
30 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
34 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
35 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
36 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
37 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
38 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
39 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
42 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
44 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
45 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
46 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
49 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
50 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
52 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
57 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
58 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
60 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
64 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
65 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
66 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
68 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
72 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
73 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
74 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
76 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
77 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
80 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
81 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
84 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
85 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
86 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
88 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
89 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
94 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
95 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
96 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
99 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
100 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
102 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
103 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
105 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
106 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
107 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
108 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
110 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
111 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
112 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
115 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
116 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
117 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
118 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
120 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
121 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
124 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
125 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
126 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
128 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
132 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
133 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
134 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
136 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
137 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
138 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
141 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
142 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
143 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
145 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
146 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
147 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
149 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
150 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
154 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
155 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
156 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
158 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
159 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
160 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
161 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
163 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
167 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
168 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
169 value is a reference.
171 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
172 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
174 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
178 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
179 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
180 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
182 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
186 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
187 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
191 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
192 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
193 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
195 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
196 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
197 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
199 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
203 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
205 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
209 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
211 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
212 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
217 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
218 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
220 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
221 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
222 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
223 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
224 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
226 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
227 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
228 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
229 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
231 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
235 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
236 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
241 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
243 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
245 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
250 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
252 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
256 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
257 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
258 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
260 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
261 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
262 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
263 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
265 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
266 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
267 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
268 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
269 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
272 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
277 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
278 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
279 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
280 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
281 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
284 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
288 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
291 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
292 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
296 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
297 function (not just method). (doy)
301 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
302 and aren't easily installable/testable.
304 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
308 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
309 to be overridden more easily (doy).
311 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
315 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
316 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
318 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
322 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
323 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
324 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
326 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
330 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
331 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
332 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
334 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
335 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
339 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
340 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
342 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
343 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
347 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
348 is applied to a class (t0m).
350 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
351 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
353 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
356 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
357 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
359 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
360 be much more robust. (doy)
362 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
364 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
367 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
371 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
372 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
374 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
378 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
379 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
381 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
384 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
385 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
386 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
388 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
389 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
390 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
393 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
395 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
399 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
400 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
404 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
406 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
411 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
415 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
416 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
420 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
422 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
426 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
427 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
431 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
432 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
436 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
437 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
439 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
443 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
444 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
445 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
448 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
452 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
453 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
454 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
455 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
457 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
461 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
462 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
463 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
467 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
470 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
474 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
475 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
476 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
480 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
481 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
483 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
484 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
485 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
486 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
488 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
492 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
496 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
497 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
499 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
500 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
501 - Moose::Util::does_role
502 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
503 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
504 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
506 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
510 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
511 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
512 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
515 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
519 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
520 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
523 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
527 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
528 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
531 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
535 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
537 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
538 class. (Dave Rolsky).
540 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
541 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
542 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
544 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
545 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
546 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
549 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
550 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
552 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
553 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
554 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
556 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
558 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
559 substr et al, again. (sorear)
561 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
563 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
566 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
567 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
569 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
570 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
572 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
573 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
574 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
575 dependencies installed.
577 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
578 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
581 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
583 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
587 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
589 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
590 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
591 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
593 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
594 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
595 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
597 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
598 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
601 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
602 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
603 others. (nothingmuch)
605 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
606 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
607 remove_accessors. (doy)
609 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
610 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
611 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
613 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
614 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
616 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
618 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
619 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
622 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
623 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
625 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
626 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
628 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
630 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
631 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
635 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
636 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
637 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
638 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
640 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
642 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
643 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
644 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
645 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
646 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
649 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
650 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
651 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
652 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
653 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
655 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
656 which were not receiving the value of
657 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
658 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
659 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
660 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
664 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
665 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
666 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
667 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
668 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
671 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
672 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
673 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
674 - added tests for this (Stevan)
677 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
678 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
679 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
682 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
683 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
684 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
686 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
687 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
688 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
691 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
692 class if you pass it options for
693 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
694 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
695 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
696 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
697 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
698 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
699 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
700 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
701 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
703 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
704 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
705 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
706 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
707 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
710 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
711 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
712 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
713 existing delegation API. (hdp)
715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
716 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
717 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
718 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
719 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
720 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
723 * Moose::Error::Croak
724 * Moose::Error::Confess
725 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
726 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
729 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
732 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
733 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
734 installing a broken sub. (doy)
737 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
740 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
741 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
742 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
744 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
745 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
746 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
747 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
748 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
750 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
751 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
754 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
756 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
757 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
760 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
761 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
763 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
764 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
765 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
766 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
768 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
769 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
770 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
771 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
772 using it for new code!
774 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
775 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
776 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
777 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
779 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
780 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
781 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
782 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
783 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
784 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
785 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
786 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
789 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
792 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
793 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
796 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
797 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
799 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
800 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
801 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
804 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
805 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
806 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
809 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
810 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
812 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
813 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
814 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
817 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
818 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
819 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
820 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
821 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
822 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
824 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
826 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
829 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
830 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
831 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
833 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
834 associated_methods. (hdp)
835 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
836 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
837 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
838 misspelled) arguments
840 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
841 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
842 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
843 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
845 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
846 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
847 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
849 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
852 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
853 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
854 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
857 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
858 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
860 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
862 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
863 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
865 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
866 * Moose::Manual::Types
867 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
868 string parsing rathole (mst)
870 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
871 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
872 using plain objects instead
874 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
875 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
878 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
880 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
881 three times today (perigrin)
882 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
883 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
885 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
886 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
887 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
888 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
891 - A role's required methods are now represented by
892 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
893 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
894 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
895 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
896 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
899 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
900 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
901 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
902 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
905 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
907 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
910 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
912 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
915 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
916 during global destruction. This method has been made more
917 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
921 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
922 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
925 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
926 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
928 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
929 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
930 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
933 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
935 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
936 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
939 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
943 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
944 methods during global destruction (doy)
947 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
948 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
952 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
953 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
956 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
957 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
960 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
961 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
963 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
965 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
969 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
970 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
971 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
974 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
975 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
976 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
979 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
981 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
982 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
983 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
986 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
987 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
988 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
989 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
991 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
992 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
993 of the Moose core (Sartak)
996 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
999 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1000 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1001 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1005 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1006 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1008 * Moose::Meta::Class
1009 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1011 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1013 * Moose::Meta::Class
1014 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1015 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1018 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1019 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1022 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1023 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1026 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1029 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1031 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1032 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1035 * Moose::Meta::Class
1036 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1038 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1039 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1042 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1043 * More deprecations and renamings
1044 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1045 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1046 when an object is constructed)
1049 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1050 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1051 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1053 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1054 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1055 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1056 feature, and it works again.
1059 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1061 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1063 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1064 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1065 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1067 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1068 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1069 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1070 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1071 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1073 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1074 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1075 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1076 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1077 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1080 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1081 metaclass object. (hdp)
1083 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1084 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1085 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1086 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1087 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1088 point out this fact. (hdp)
1090 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1091 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1093 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1094 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1096 * Moose::Meta::Class
1097 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1098 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1099 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1100 called during instance construction were passed the
1101 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1102 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1104 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1105 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1108 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1109 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1110 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1113 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1114 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1115 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1116 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1117 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1119 - Moose::Meta::Class
1120 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1122 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1123 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1124 when an object is constructed)
1125 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1127 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1128 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1129 when an object is constructed)
1130 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1131 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1132 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1135 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1137 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1138 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1140 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1142 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1143 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1144 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1146 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1147 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1148 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1150 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1152 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1153 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1155 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1156 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1159 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1160 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1163 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1164 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1165 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1167 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1168 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1172 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1173 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1174 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1176 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1177 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1180 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1181 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1182 with recommended workarounds.
1184 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1185 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1187 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1188 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1189 (yes, spelled like that).
1191 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1192 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1194 * Moose::Meta::Class
1195 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1196 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1198 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1200 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1201 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1202 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1203 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1204 instead. Reported by doy.
1206 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1208 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1209 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1211 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1212 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1213 message) is now deprecated.
1214 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1215 often got it wrong. For example:
1217 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1219 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1223 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1224 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1225 bite you in weird cases.
1227 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1228 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1229 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1230 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1232 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1233 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1237 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1240 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1241 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1244 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1245 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1247 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1248 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1251 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1252 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1253 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1254 - added tests for this (stevan)
1256 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1257 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1258 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1259 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1263 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1264 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1265 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1266 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1268 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1269 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1270 - added tests for this (rafl)
1272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1273 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1274 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1275 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1279 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1280 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1283 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1284 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1285 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1287 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1289 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1290 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1292 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1293 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1294 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1295 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1296 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1298 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1299 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1300 error message did not specify the attribute name
1303 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1305 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1307 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1308 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1309 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1311 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1312 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1315 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1317 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1318 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1319 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1320 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1322 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1324 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1325 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1326 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1327 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1329 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1330 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1331 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1333 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1334 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1335 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1336 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1337 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1339 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1340 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1341 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1342 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1343 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1345 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1346 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1347 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1348 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1349 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1350 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1352 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1353 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1354 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1355 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1356 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1357 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1359 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1360 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1362 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1363 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1364 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1365 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1367 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1368 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1371 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1375 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1376 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1378 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1379 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1380 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1381 guts. (nothingmuch).
1383 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1384 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1385 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1387 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1388 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1389 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1390 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1392 * Moose::Meta::Class
1393 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1396 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1397 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1399 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1400 * Moose::Unsweetened
1401 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1404 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1405 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1406 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1407 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1408 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1409 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1411 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1412 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1413 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1414 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1415 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1416 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1417 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1418 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1419 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1420 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1422 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1424 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1425 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1427 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1428 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1429 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1430 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1432 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1433 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1434 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1435 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1436 same methods for a single role did not work
1437 right (worked just fine with multiple
1439 - added test for this (stevan)
1441 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1442 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1443 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1446 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1447 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1448 - added test for this (t0m)
1451 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1452 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1453 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1455 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1456 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1457 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1458 - added test for this (t0m)
1460 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1461 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1462 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1463 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1464 - added test for this (perigrin)
1467 - create method for constructing a role
1468 dynamically (Sartak)
1469 - added test for this (Sartak)
1470 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1471 - added test for this (Sartak)
1474 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1476 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1477 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1478 methods is useful (Sartak)
1480 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1481 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1482 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1485 * Moose::Meta::Class
1486 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1487 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1488 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1489 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1490 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1491 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1494 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1495 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1497 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1498 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1499 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1500 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1501 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1503 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1505 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1506 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1507 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1510 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1511 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1512 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1513 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1514 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1515 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1518 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1519 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1520 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1521 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1522 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1523 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1524 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1525 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1526 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1527 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1528 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1530 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1531 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1534 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1535 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1536 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1537 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1538 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1540 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1542 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1543 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1544 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1546 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1547 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1549 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1550 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1551 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1552 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1555 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1556 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1558 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1560 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1561 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1563 * Moose::Meta::Class
1564 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1565 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1566 a required attribute
1568 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1569 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1570 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1571 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1573 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1574 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1576 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1577 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1578 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1579 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1580 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1581 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1582 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1583 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1585 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1586 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1587 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1589 * Roles and role application
1590 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1591 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1592 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1593 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1594 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1596 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1597 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1600 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1601 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1602 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1603 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1604 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1607 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1608 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1609 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1610 changes in the Moose internals.
1612 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1613 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1614 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1617 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1618 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1619 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1620 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1622 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1623 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1624 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1625 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1627 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1628 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1629 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1630 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1631 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1632 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1633 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1634 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1635 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1636 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1637 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1638 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1639 constraint implementations.
1641 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1645 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1646 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1647 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1648 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1649 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1650 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1651 - added tests for this (rafl)
1653 * Moose::Meta::Class
1654 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1655 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1656 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1657 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1658 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1659 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1660 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1661 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1664 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1665 - added tests for this (thepler)
1667 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1668 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1669 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1670 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1673 * Moose::Meta::Class
1674 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1675 * Moose::Meta::Method
1678 * Moose::Error::Default
1679 * Moose::Error::Croak
1680 * Moose::Error::Confess
1681 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1682 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1683 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1684 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1685 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1686 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1688 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1690 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1691 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1693 * Moose::Unsweetened
1694 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1695 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1696 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1698 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1699 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1700 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1701 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1702 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1705 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1706 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1708 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1709 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1710 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1711 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1714 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1716 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1717 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1719 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1722 - Various bug fixes.
1724 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1725 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1727 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1729 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1730 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1731 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1732 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1733 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1734 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1736 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1737 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1738 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1740 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1741 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1742 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1745 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1746 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1747 dependency to 0.64_07.
1749 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1750 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1751 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1753 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1754 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1757 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1758 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1759 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1760 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1761 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1762 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1764 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1765 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1767 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1769 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1770 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1774 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1775 method when that method was provided by another role being
1776 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1777 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1779 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1781 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1782 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1784 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1785 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1786 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1787 - added test for this (t0m)
1789 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1790 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1791 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1793 - added test for this (t0m)
1796 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1797 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1798 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1801 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1802 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1804 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1806 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1807 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1809 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1810 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1811 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1813 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1814 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1817 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1818 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1819 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1820 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1824 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1825 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1826 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1829 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1830 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1831 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1832 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1835 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1839 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1840 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1841 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1843 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1845 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1846 created so that the process can be more easily
1847 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1849 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1850 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1851 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1852 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1854 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1855 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1858 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1859 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1861 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1862 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1863 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1865 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1866 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1867 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1869 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1870 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1872 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1873 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1876 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1877 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1881 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1882 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1884 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1885 ... this is not my day today ...
1887 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1888 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1889 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1890 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1891 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1894 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1895 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1896 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1897 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1898 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1901 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1903 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1904 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1905 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1906 this is not ever something you want to do
1907 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1908 - added tests for this (stevan)
1911 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1913 - added test for this
1915 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1916 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1917 - added tests for this (wreis)
1919 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1920 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1921 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1922 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1924 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1925 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1926 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1929 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1931 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1933 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1936 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1937 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1938 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1939 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1940 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1941 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1942 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1943 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1944 - added tests for this
1946 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1947 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1948 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1949 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1951 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1953 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1954 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1955 - added tests for this (sartak)
1956 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1957 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1960 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1962 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1963 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1965 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1966 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1967 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1968 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1970 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1972 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1973 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1976 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1977 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1978 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1980 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1981 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1982 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1984 - added docs for this (TODO).
1985 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1986 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1987 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1988 - fix builder and default both being used
1993 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1995 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1996 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1997 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2001 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2005 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2006 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2007 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2009 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2010 - move the ClassName type check code to
2011 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2013 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2014 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2016 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2017 (early morning release engineering)--
2019 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2020 which was causing the indexer to choke
2022 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2023 (late night release engineering)--
2025 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2026 changes in this release
2028 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2029 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2030 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2032 * Moose::Meta::Class
2033 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2034 since it is called so often by &meta
2036 * Moose::Meta::Class
2038 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2039 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2042 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2043 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2044 method for immutablization to check if the
2045 destructor object even needs to be created
2048 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2049 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2050 - added more descriptive error message to help
2051 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2052 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2054 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2056 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2057 XS based functionality is now optional
2058 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2059 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2060 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2062 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2063 to take care of this, mostly we added
2064 support for the package_name and name
2065 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2066 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2067 support regexp matching of names
2068 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2069 - tests added for this
2070 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2071 is currently not supported in roles,
2072 but, ... patches welcome
2073 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2074 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2075 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2078 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2079 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2080 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2081 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2082 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2083 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2084 - added test for this
2086 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2087 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2088 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2091 * Moose::Meta::Class

2118 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2122 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2123 causing occasional cpantester failures

2129 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2130 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2133 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2134 ->body when looping through the
2135 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2137 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2138 eating the $@ values, and so not
2139 working correctly, it still kind of
2140 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2141 - added tests for this

2163 drink more coffee before
2164 doing release engineering
2166 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2171 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2172 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2281 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2283 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2327 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2328 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2620 - fixed how required methods are handled
2621 when they encounter overriden or modified
2622 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2623 - added tests for this
2625 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2626 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2627 the | always creates a union and so is
2628 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2629 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2631 - added more tests for this
2633 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2636 * Parameterized Types
2637 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2638 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2639 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2640 They can also be nested:
2641 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2642 And work with the type unions as well:
2643 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2645 * Better Framework Extendability
2646 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2647 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2648 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2649 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2652 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2653 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2654 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2655 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2658 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2660 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2699 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2700 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2701 - updated the accompanying test as well

2814 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2815 prototypes for functions

2827 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2830 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2831 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2832 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2833 - added tests for this
2835 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2837 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2889 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2890 so that you can actually document your
2891 attributes and inspect them through the

2902 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2903 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2904 - added test for this
2907 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2909 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2910 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2912 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2913 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2916 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2918 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2919 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2920 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2923 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2924 !! for this developer release to work !!
2926 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2927 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2928 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2929 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2930 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2931 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2932 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2933 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2934 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2935 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2936 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2938 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2939 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2940 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2941 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2944 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2945 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2946 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2947 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2948 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2950 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2952 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2953 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2956 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2957 called unless they actually need to be.
2958 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2959 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2960 DEMOLISH method present.
2962 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2963 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2964 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2965 type constraint, which allows for a
2966 hand optimized version of the type
2967 constraint to be used when possible.
2968 - Any internally created type constraints
2969 now provide an optimized version as well.
2971 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2973 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2974 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2975 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2977 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2978 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2979 your class namespace of these exported
2982 * Moose::Meta::Class
2983 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2984 comes up during global destruction
2986 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2990 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2993 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2994 - changed how we do type checks so that
2995 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2998 - moved accessor generation methods to
2999 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3000 conform to the API changes from
3003 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3004 - changed how constraints are compiled
3005 so that we do less recursion and more
3006 iteration. This makes the type check
3008 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3011 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3012 - created this from methods formerly found in
3013 Moose::Meta::Attribute

3026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3027 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3028 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3029 - added tests for this
3030 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3031 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3032 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3033 - removed tests for this
3035 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3037 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3038 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3039 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3042 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3043 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3044 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3046 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3047 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3048 comments for more info.
3051 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3052 asked questions and common problems
3054 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3055 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3056 - added tests for this
3058 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3059 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3060 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3061 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3063 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3064 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3067 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3068 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3069 is much appreciated :)
3070 - added tests for this
3072 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3073 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3074 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3077 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3078 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3080 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3082 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3083 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3087 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3088 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3089 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3091 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3093 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3096 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3097 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3098 keywords because we need to localize them.
3099 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3101 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3102 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3103 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3106 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3109 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3110 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3111 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3114 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3115 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3116 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3118 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3120 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3121 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3122 bottom of your class file.
3125 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3128 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3130 - improved error message when loading modules so
3131 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3132 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3133 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3136 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3137 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3138 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3141 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3143 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3144 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3145 turn them on for you.
3146 - added tests for this

3175 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3176 - This release works in combination with
3177 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3178 release because it uses the a new
3179 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3180 complete Role implementation. It has
3181 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3182 the the previous CPAN version. This
3183 release also lacks good updated docs,
3184 the official release will have updated docs.
3187 - refactored the keyword exports
3188 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3189 accepts more than one Role at a time

3195 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3196 accepts more than one Role at a time
3198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3200 string enumerations which can be used as
3202 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3205 - more careful checking of params to new()
3208 - much work done on the role composition
3209 - many new tests for conflict detection
3210 and composition edge cases
3211 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3212 looking at the tests
3214 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3215 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3216 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3237 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3238 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3239 on a per-attribute basis
3240 - added tests for this
3241 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3242 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3243 experimental feature and probably not finished

3245 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3246 - added tests for this
3249 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
