1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
10 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
11 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
16 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
18 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
22 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
25 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
27 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
31 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
33 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
37 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
40 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
41 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
42 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
44 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
47 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
51 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
53 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
57 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
59 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
63 * Include changes from 2.0010.
65 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
69 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
70 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
74 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
75 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
76 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
81 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
83 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
87 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
88 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
90 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
94 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
96 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
100 * Various packaging issues.
102 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
106 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
107 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
112 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
113 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
114 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
118 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
119 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
120 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
122 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
126 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
127 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
129 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
133 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
134 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
136 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
139 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
140 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
144 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
145 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
147 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
151 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
152 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
156 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
158 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
162 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
164 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
168 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
169 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
171 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
175 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
177 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
181 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
183 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
184 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
186 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
190 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
191 skips every other role. (rjbs)
193 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
194 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
195 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
196 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
197 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
199 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
203 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
204 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
205 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
208 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
213 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
215 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
216 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
218 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
222 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
223 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
224 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
228 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
229 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
231 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
232 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
234 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
235 environments. (doy, mateu)
237 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
241 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
242 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
243 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
244 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
248 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
249 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
251 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
255 * Update conflicts list.
258 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
262 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
263 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
264 details. (Dave Rolsky)
266 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
267 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
268 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
269 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
270 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
274 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
275 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
276 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
277 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
278 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
281 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
285 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
286 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
288 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
291 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
295 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
296 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
297 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
298 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
300 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
301 immutable classes). (mo)
303 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
304 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
305 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
307 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
311 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
313 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
315 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
319 * Fix some indexing issues.
321 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
323 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
327 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
328 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
329 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
330 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
331 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
333 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
334 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
339 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
340 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
341 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
342 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
344 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
345 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
346 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
350 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
351 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
354 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
358 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
359 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
363 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
367 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
368 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
369 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
370 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
373 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
377 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
380 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
384 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
385 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
386 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
389 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
393 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
394 policy. (Chris Prather)
396 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
397 on this new support policy. (doy)
401 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
402 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
403 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
405 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
406 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
408 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
412 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
413 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
414 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
415 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
418 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
422 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
423 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
426 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
430 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
431 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
433 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
434 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
438 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
439 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
440 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
441 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
442 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
443 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
445 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
446 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
448 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
449 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
450 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
451 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
453 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
454 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
456 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
461 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
462 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
464 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
468 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
469 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
470 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
472 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
476 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
477 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
478 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
480 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
481 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
484 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
485 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
488 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
489 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
490 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
492 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
493 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
498 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
499 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
500 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
501 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
503 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
504 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
506 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
507 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
509 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
510 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
511 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
512 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
514 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
515 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
516 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
519 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
520 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
521 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
522 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
524 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
525 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
528 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
529 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
530 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
532 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
536 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
537 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
538 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
540 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
541 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
542 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
545 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
546 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
547 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
549 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
550 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
551 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
553 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
554 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
558 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
559 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
560 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
562 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
563 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
564 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
565 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
567 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
571 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
572 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
573 value is a reference.
575 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
576 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
578 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
582 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
583 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
584 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
586 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
590 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
591 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
595 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
596 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
597 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
599 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
600 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
601 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
603 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
607 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
609 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
613 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
615 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
616 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
621 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
622 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
624 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
625 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
626 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
627 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
628 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
630 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
631 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
632 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
633 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
635 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
639 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
640 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
645 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
647 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
649 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
654 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
656 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
660 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
661 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
662 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
664 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
665 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
666 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
667 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
669 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
670 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
671 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
672 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
673 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
676 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
681 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
682 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
683 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
684 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
685 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
688 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
692 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
695 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
696 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
700 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
701 function (not just method). (doy)
705 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
706 and aren't easily installable/testable.
708 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
712 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
713 to be overridden more easily (doy).
715 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
719 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
720 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
722 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
726 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
727 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
728 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
730 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
734 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
735 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
736 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
738 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
739 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
743 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
744 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
746 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
747 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
751 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
752 is applied to a class (t0m).
754 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
755 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
757 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
760 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
761 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
763 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
764 be much more robust. (doy)
766 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
768 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
771 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
775 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
776 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
778 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
782 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
783 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
785 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
788 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
789 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
790 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
792 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
793 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
794 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
797 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
799 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
803 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
804 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
808 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
810 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
814 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
815 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
819 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
820 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
824 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
826 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
830 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
831 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
835 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
836 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
840 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
841 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
843 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
847 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
848 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
849 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
852 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
856 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
857 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
858 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
859 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
861 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
865 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
866 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
867 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
871 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
874 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
878 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
879 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
880 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
884 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
885 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
887 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
888 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
889 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
890 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
892 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
896 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
900 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
901 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
903 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
904 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
905 - Moose::Util::does_role
906 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
907 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
908 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
910 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
914 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
915 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
916 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
919 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
923 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
924 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
927 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
931 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
932 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
935 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
939 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
941 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
942 class. (Dave Rolsky).
944 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
945 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
946 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
948 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
949 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
950 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
953 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
954 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
956 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
957 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
958 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
960 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
962 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
963 substr et al, again. (sorear)
965 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
967 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
970 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
971 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
973 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
974 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
976 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
977 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
978 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
979 dependencies installed.
981 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
982 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
985 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
987 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
991 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
993 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
994 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
995 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
997 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
998 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
999 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1001 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1002 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1005 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1006 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1007 others. (nothingmuch)
1009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1010 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1011 remove_accessors. (doy)
1013 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1014 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1015 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1017 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1018 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1020 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1021 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1022 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1023 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1025 * Moose::Meta::Class
1026 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1027 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1029 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1030 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1032 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1034 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1035 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1038 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1039 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1040 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1041 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1042 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1044 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1045 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1046 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1047 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1048 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1049 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1050 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1053 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1054 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1055 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1056 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1057 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1059 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1060 which were not receiving the value of
1061 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1062 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1063 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1064 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1068 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1069 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1070 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1071 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1072 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1076 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1077 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1078 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1080 * Moose::Meta::Class
1081 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1082 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1083 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1086 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1087 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1088 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1090 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1091 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1092 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1095 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1096 class if you pass it options for
1097 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1098 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1099 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1100 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1101 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1102 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1103 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1104 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1105 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1107 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1108 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1109 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1110 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1111 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1114 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1115 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1116 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1117 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1119 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1120 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1121 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1122 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1123 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1124 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1127 * Moose::Error::Croak
1128 * Moose::Error::Confess
1129 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1130 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1133 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1136 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1137 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1138 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1140 * Moose::Meta::Class
1141 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1144 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1145 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1146 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1148 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1149 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1150 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1151 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1152 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1154 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1155 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1158 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1160 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1161 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1164 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1165 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1167 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1168 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1169 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1170 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1172 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1173 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1174 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1175 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1176 using it for new code!
1178 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1179 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1180 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1181 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1183 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1184 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1185 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1186 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1187 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1188 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1189 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1190 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1193 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1196 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1197 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1200 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1201 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1203 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1204 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1205 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1207 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1208 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1209 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1210 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1212 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1213 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1214 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1216 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1217 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1218 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1221 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1222 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1223 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1224 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1225 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1226 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1228 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1230 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1233 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1234 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1235 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1237 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1238 associated_methods. (hdp)
1239 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1240 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1241 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1242 misspelled) arguments
1244 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1245 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1246 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1247 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1249 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1250 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1251 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1253 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1257 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1258 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1261 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1262 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1264 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1265 * Moose::Meta::Class
1266 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1267 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1269 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1270 * Moose::Manual::Types
1271 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1272 string parsing rathole (mst)
1274 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1275 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1276 using plain objects instead
1278 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1279 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1280 that's what we need.
1282 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1283 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1284 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1285 three times today (perigrin)
1286 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1287 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1289 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1290 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1291 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1292 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1295 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1296 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1297 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1298 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1299 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1300 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1303 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1304 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1305 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1306 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1309 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1311 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1314 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1316 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1319 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1320 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1321 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1325 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1326 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1329 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1330 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1332 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1333 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1334 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1336 * Moose::Unsweetened
1337 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1339 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1340 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1343 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1347 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1348 methods during global destruction (doy)
1350 * Moose::Meta::Class
1351 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1352 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1353 consumption (Sartak)
1355 * Moose::Meta::Class
1356 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1357 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1360 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1361 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1364 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1365 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1367 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1369 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1373 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1374 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1375 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1378 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1379 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1380 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1383 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1385 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1386 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1387 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1390 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1391 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1392 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1393 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1395 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1396 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1397 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1400 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1403 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1404 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1405 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1409 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1410 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1412 * Moose::Meta::Class
1413 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1415 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1417 * Moose::Meta::Class
1418 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1419 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1422 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1423 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1426 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1427 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1430 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1433 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1436 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1439 * Moose::Meta::Class
1440 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1442 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1443 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1446 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1447 * More deprecations and renamings
1448 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1449 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1450 when an object is constructed)
1453 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1454 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1455 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1457 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1458 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1459 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1460 feature, and it works again.
1463 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1465 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1467 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1468 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1469 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1472 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1473 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1474 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1475 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1478 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1479 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1480 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1481 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1484 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1485 metaclass object. (hdp)
1487 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1488 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1489 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1490 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1491 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1492 point out this fact. (hdp)
1494 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1495 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1497 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1498 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1500 * Moose::Meta::Class
1501 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1502 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1503 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1504 called during instance construction were passed the
1505 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1506 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1508 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1509 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1512 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1513 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1514 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1517 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1518 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1519 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1520 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1521 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1523 - Moose::Meta::Class
1524 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1526 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1527 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1528 when an object is constructed)
1529 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1531 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1532 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1533 when an object is constructed)
1534 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1535 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1536 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1539 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1541 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1542 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1544 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1546 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1547 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1548 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1550 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1551 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1552 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1554 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1556 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1557 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1559 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1560 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1563 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1564 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1567 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1568 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1569 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1571 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1572 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1576 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1577 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1578 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1580 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1581 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1584 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1585 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1586 with recommended workarounds.
1588 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1589 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1591 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1592 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1593 (yes, spelled like that).
1595 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1596 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1598 * Moose::Meta::Class
1599 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1600 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1602 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1604 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1605 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1606 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1607 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1608 instead. Reported by doy.
1610 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1612 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1613 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1615 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1616 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1617 message) is now deprecated.
1618 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1619 often got it wrong. For example:
1621 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1623 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1627 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1628 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1629 bite you in weird cases.
1631 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1632 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1633 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1634 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1636 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1637 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1641 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1644 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1645 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1648 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1649 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1651 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1652 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1655 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1656 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1657 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1658 - added tests for this (stevan)
1660 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1661 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1662 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1663 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1667 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1668 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1669 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1670 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1672 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1673 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1674 - added tests for this (rafl)
1676 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1677 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1678 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1679 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1683 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1684 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1687 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1688 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1689 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1691 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1693 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1694 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1696 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1697 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1698 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1699 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1700 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1702 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1703 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1704 error message did not specify the attribute name
1707 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1709 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1711 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1712 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1713 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1715 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1716 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1719 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1721 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1722 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1723 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1724 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1726 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1728 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1729 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1730 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1731 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1733 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1734 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1735 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1737 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1738 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1739 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1740 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1741 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1743 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1744 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1745 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1746 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1747 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1749 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1750 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1751 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1752 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1753 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1754 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1756 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1757 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1758 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1759 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1760 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1761 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1763 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1764 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1766 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1767 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1768 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1769 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1771 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1772 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1775 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1779 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1780 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1782 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1783 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1784 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1785 guts. (nothingmuch).
1787 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1788 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1789 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1791 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1792 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1793 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1794 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1796 * Moose::Meta::Class
1797 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1800 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1801 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1803 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1804 * Moose::Unsweetened
1805 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1808 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1809 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1810 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1811 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1812 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1813 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1815 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1816 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1817 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1818 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1819 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1820 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1821 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1822 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1823 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1824 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1826 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1828 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1829 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1831 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1832 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1833 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1834 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1836 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1837 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1838 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1839 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1840 same methods for a single role did not work
1841 right (worked just fine with multiple
1843 - added test for this (stevan)
1845 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1846 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1847 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1850 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1851 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1852 - added test for this (t0m)
1855 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1856 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1857 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1859 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1860 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1861 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1862 - added test for this (t0m)
1864 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1865 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1866 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1867 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1868 - added test for this (perigrin)
1871 - create method for constructing a role
1872 dynamically (Sartak)
1873 - added test for this (Sartak)
1874 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1875 - added test for this (Sartak)
1878 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1880 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1881 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1882 methods is useful (Sartak)
1884 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1886 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1889 * Moose::Meta::Class
1890 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1891 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1892 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1893 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1894 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1895 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1898 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1899 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1901 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1902 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1903 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1904 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1905 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1907 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1909 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1910 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1911 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1914 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1915 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1916 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1917 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1918 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1919 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1922 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1923 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1924 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1925 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1926 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1927 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1928 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1929 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1930 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1931 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1932 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1934 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1935 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1938 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1939 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1940 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1941 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1942 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1944 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1946 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1947 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1948 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1950 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1951 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1953 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1954 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1955 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1956 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1959 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1960 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1962 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1964 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1965 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1967 * Moose::Meta::Class
1968 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1969 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1970 a required attribute
1972 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1973 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1974 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1975 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1977 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1978 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1980 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1981 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1982 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1983 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1984 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1985 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1986 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1987 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1989 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1990 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1991 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1993 * Roles and role application
1994 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1995 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1996 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1997 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1998 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2000 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2001 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2004 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2005 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2006 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2007 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2008 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2011 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2012 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2013 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2014 changes in the Moose internals.
2016 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2017 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2018 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2022 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2023 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2024 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2026 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2027 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2028 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2029 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2031 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2032 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2033 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2034 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2035 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2036 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2037 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2038 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2039 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2040 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2041 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2042 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2043 constraint implementations.
2045 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2049 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2050 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2051 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2052 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2053 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2054 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2055 - added tests for this (rafl)
2057 * Moose::Meta::Class
2058 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2059 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2060 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2061 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2062 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2063 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2064 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2065 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2068 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2069 - added tests for this (thepler)
2071 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2072 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2073 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2074 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2077 * Moose::Meta::Class
2078 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2079 * Moose::Meta::Method
2082 * Moose::Error::Default
2083 * Moose::Error::Croak
2084 * Moose::Error::Confess
2085 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2086 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2087 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2088 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2089 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2090 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.

2104 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2105 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)

2109 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2110 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)

2162 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2163 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2164 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2165 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2166 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2168 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2169 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

2289 ... this is not my day today ...
2291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2292 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2293 clone_and_inherit options still works for

2295 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2298 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2299 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2300 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2302 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2305 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2307 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2308 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2340 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2341 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2342 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2343 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2344 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2345 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2346 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2347 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2348 - added tests for this
2350 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2351 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2567 drink more coffee before
2568 doing release engineering
2570 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2894 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2895 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2896 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2940 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2941 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2942 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2978 - added tests for this
2981 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2982 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3021 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3024 - fixed how required methods are handled
3025 when they encounter overriden or modified
3026 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3027 - added tests for this
3029 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3030 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3031 the | always creates a union and so is
3032 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3033 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3035 - added more tests for this
3037 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3040 * Parameterized Types
3041 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3042 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3043 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3044 They can also be nested:
3045 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3046 And work with the type unions as well:
3047 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3049 * Better Framework Extendability
3050 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3051 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3052 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3053 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3056 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3057 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3058 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3059 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3062 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3064 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3065 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3218 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3219 prototypes for functions
3220 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3221 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3293 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3294 so that you can actually document your
3295 attributes and inspect them through the

3299 * Moose::Meta::Class
3300 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3301 it will first look in for the class in the
3302 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3303 then default to just loading $name.
3304 - added tests and docs for this
3306 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3307 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3308 - added test for this

3313 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3314 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3316 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3317 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3320 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3322 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3323 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3324 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3327 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3328 !! for this developer release to work !!
3330 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3331 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3332 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3333 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3334 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3335 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3336 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3337 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3338 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3339 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3340 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3342 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3343 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3344 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3345 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3348 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3349 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3350 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3351 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3352 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3354 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3356 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3357 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3360 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3361 called unless they actually need to be.
3362 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3363 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3364 DEMOLISH method present.
3366 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3367 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3368 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3369 type constraint, which allows for a
3370 hand optimized version of the type
3371 constraint to be used when possible.
3372 - Any internally created type constraints
3373 now provide an optimized version as well.
3375 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3377 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3378 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3379 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3381 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3382 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3383 your class namespace of these exported

3399 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3402 - moved accessor generation methods to
3403 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3404 conform to the API changes from
3407 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3408 - changed how constraints are compiled
3409 so that we do less recursion and more
3410 iteration. This makes the type check
3412 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3416 - created this from methods formerly found in
3417 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3419 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3420 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3422 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3423 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

3432 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3433 - added tests for this
3434 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3435 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3436 broke predicates in an ugly way.

3439 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3441 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order

3443 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3446 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3447 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3448 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3450 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3451 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3452 comments for more info.
3455 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3456 asked questions and common problems
3458 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3459 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3460 - added tests for this
3462 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3463 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3464 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3465 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3467 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3468 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3471 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3472 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3473 is much appreciated :)
3474 - added tests for this
3476 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3477 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3478 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3481 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3482 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3484 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3486 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3487 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3491 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3492 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3493 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3495 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3497 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3500 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3501 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3502 keywords because we need to localize them.
3503 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3505 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3506 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3507 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3510 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3513 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3514 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3515 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3518 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3519 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3520 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3522 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3524 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3525 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3526 bottom of your class file.
3529 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3532 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3534 - improved error message when loading modules so
3535 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3536 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3537 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3540 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3541 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3542 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3545 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3547 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3548 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3549 turn them on for you.
3550 - added tests for this
3551 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3552 in Moose::Meta::Class
3555 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3556 automatically turned on for you.

3560 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3561 - added tests for this

3578 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3579 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3580 - This release works in combination with
3581 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3582 release because it uses the a new
3583 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3584 complete Role implementation. It has
3585 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3586 the the previous CPAN version. This
3587 release also lacks good updated docs,
3588 the official release will have updated docs.
3591 - refactored the keyword exports
3592 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3593 accepts more than one Role at a time
3594 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3595 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3598 - refactored the keyword exports
3599 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3600 accepts more than one Role at a time
3602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3603 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3604 string enumerations which can be used as
3606 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3609 - more careful checking of params to new()
3612 - much work done on the role composition
3613 - many new tests for conflict detection
3614 and composition edge cases
3615 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3616 looking at the tests
3618 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3619 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3620 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3622 * Moose::Meta::Class
3623 - some small changes to support the new
3625 - some small additions to support Roles
3627 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3628 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3630 - some small changes to support the new
3632 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3633 with the 'handles' option
3634 - added several tests for this
3635 - no docs for this yet
3637 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3639 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3640 thanks to chansen for this commit
3641 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3642 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3643 on a per-attribute basis
3644 - added tests for this
3645 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3646 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3647 experimental feature and probably not finished
