1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
6 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers
7 to the existing delegation API. (hdp)
9 * Moose::AttributeHelpers
10 - Moved in from MooseX with API tweaks. See Moose::Manual::Delta for
11 details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels)
13 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
14 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
15 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
16 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
17 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
18 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
20 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
22 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
25 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
26 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
27 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
29 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
30 associated_methods. (hdp)
31 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
32 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
33 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
36 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
37 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
38 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
39 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
41 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
42 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
43 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
45 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
48 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
49 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
50 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
53 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
54 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
56 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
58 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
59 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
61 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
62 * Moose::Manual::Types
63 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
64 string parsing rathole (mst)
66 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
67 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
68 using plain objects instead
71 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
76 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
77 three times today (perigrin)
78 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
79 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
81 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
82 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
83 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
84 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
87 - A role's required methods are now represented by
88 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
89 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
90 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
91 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
92 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
95 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
96 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
97 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
98 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
101 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
103 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
106 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
108 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
111 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
112 during global destruction. This method has been made more
113 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
117 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
118 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
121 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
122 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
124 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
125 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
126 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
129 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
131 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
132 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
135 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
139 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
140 methods during global destruction (doy)
143 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
144 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
148 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
149 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
152 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
153 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
156 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
157 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
159 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
161 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
165 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
166 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
167 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
170 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
171 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
172 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
175 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
177 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
178 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
179 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
182 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
183 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
184 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
185 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
187 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
188 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
189 of the Moose core (Sartak)
192 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
195 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
196 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
197 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
201 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
202 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
205 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
207 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
210 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
211 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
214 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
215 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
218 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
219 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
222 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
225 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
227 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
228 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
232 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
234 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
235 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
238 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
239 * More deprecations and renamings
240 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
241 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
242 when an object is constructed)
245 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
246 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
247 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
249 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
250 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
251 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
252 feature, and it works again.
255 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
257 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
259 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
260 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
261 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
263 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
264 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
265 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
266 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
267 message. Test provided by perigrin.
269 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
270 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
271 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
272 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
273 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
276 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
277 metaclass object. (hdp)
279 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
280 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
281 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
282 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
283 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
284 point out this fact. (hdp)
286 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
287 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
289 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
290 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
293 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
294 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
295 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
296 called during instance construction were passed the
297 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
298 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
300 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
301 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
304 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
305 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
306 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
309 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
310 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
311 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
312 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
313 them, but they are not for "public" use.
316 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
318 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
319 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
320 when an object is constructed)
321 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
323 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
324 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
325 when an object is constructed)
326 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
327 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
328 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
331 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
333 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
334 * No changes from 0.72_01.
336 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
338 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
339 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
340 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
342 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
343 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
344 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
346 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
348 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
349 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
351 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
352 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
355 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
356 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
359 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
360 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
361 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
363 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
364 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
368 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
369 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
370 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
372 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
373 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
376 * Moose::Manual::Delta
377 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
378 with recommended workarounds.
380 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
381 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
384 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
385 (yes, spelled like that).
387 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
388 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
391 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
392 changes in latest Class::MOP.
394 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
396 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
397 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
398 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
399 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
400 instead. Reported by doy.
402 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
404 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
405 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
407 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
408 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
409 message) is now deprecated.
410 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
411 often got it wrong. For example:
413 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
415 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
419 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
420 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
421 bite you in weird cases.
423 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
424 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
425 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
428 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
429 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
433 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
436 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
437 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
440 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
441 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
443 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
444 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
447 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
448 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
449 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
450 - added tests for this (stevan)
452 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
453 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
454 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
455 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
459 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
460 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
461 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
462 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
464 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
465 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
466 - added tests for this (rafl)
468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
469 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
470 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
471 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
475 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
476 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
479 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
480 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
481 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
483 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
485 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
486 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
489 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
490 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
491 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
492 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
494 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
495 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
496 error message did not specify the attribute name
499 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
501 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
503 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
504 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
505 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
507 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
508 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
511 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
513 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
514 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
515 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
516 of fixes and formatting improvements.
518 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
520 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
521 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
522 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
523 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
525 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
526 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
527 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
529 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
530 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
531 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
532 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
533 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
535 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
536 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
537 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
538 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
539 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
541 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
542 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
543 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
544 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
545 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
546 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
548 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
549 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
550 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
551 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
552 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
553 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
555 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
556 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
558 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
559 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
560 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
561 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
563 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
564 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
567 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
571 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
572 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
574 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
575 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
576 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
579 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
580 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
581 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
583 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
584 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
585 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
586 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
589 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
592 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
593 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
595 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
597 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
600 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
601 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
602 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
603 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
604 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
605 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
607 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
608 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
609 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
610 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
611 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
612 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
613 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
614 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
615 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
616 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
618 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
620 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
621 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
623 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
624 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
625 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
626 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
628 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
629 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
630 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
631 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
632 same methods for a single role did not work
633 right (worked just fine with multiple
635 - added test for this (stevan)
637 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
638 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
639 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
642 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
643 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
644 - added test for this (t0m)
647 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
648 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
649 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
651 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
652 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
653 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
654 - added test for this (t0m)
656 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
657 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
658 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
659 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
660 - added test for this (perigrin)
663 - create method for constructing a role
665 - added test for this (Sartak)
666 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
667 - added test for this (Sartak)
670 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
672 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
673 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
674 methods is useful (Sartak)
676 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
677 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
678 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
682 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
683 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
684 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
685 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
686 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
687 - added tests for this (jdv79)
690 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
691 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
693 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
694 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
695 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
696 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
697 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
699 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
701 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
702 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
703 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
706 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
707 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
708 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
709 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
710 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
711 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
714 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
715 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
716 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
717 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
718 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
719 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
720 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
721 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
722 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
723 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
724 future. (jnapiorkowski)
726 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
727 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
730 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
731 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
732 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
733 type. (jnapiorkowski)
734 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
736 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
738 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
739 predicate, and link to more details sections in
740 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
742 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
743 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
745 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
746 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
747 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
748 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
751 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
752 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
754 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
756 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
757 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
760 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
761 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
764 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
765 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
766 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
767 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
769 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
770 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
772 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
773 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
774 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
775 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
776 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
777 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
778 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
779 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
781 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
782 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
783 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
785 * Roles and role application
786 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
787 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
788 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
789 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
790 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
792 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
793 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
796 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
797 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
798 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
799 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
800 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
803 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
804 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
805 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
806 changes in the Moose internals.
808 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
809 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
810 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
813 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
814 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
815 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
816 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
818 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
819 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
820 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
821 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
823 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
824 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
825 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
826 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
827 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
828 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
829 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
830 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
831 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
832 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
833 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
834 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
835 constraint implementations.
837 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
841 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
842 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
843 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
844 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
845 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
846 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
847 - added tests for this (rafl)
850 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
851 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
852 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
853 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
854 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
855 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
856 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
857 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
860 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
861 - added tests for this (thepler)
863 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
864 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
865 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
866 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
870 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
871 * Moose::Meta::Method
874 * Moose::Error::Default
875 * Moose::Error::Croak
876 * Moose::Error::Confess
877 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
878 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
879 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
880 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
881 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
882 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
884 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
886 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
887 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
890 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
891 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
892 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
894 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
895 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
896 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
897 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
898 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
901 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
902 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
904 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
905 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
906 several major changes in this release of Moose.
907 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
910 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
912 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
913 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
915 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
920 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
921 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
923 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
925 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
926 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
927 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
928 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
929 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
930 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
932 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
933 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
934 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
936 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
937 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
938 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
941 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
942 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
943 dependency to 0.64_07.
945 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
946 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
947 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
949 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
950 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
953 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
954 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
955 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
956 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
957 coincidental exception. (t0m).
958 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
960 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
961 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
963 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
965 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
966 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
970 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
971 method when that method was provided by another role being
972 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
973 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
975 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
977 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
978 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
980 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
981 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
982 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
983 - added test for this (t0m)
985 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
986 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
987 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
989 - added test for this (t0m)
992 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
993 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
994 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
997 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
998 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1000 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1002 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1003 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1005 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1006 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1007 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1009 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1010 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1013 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1014 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1015 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1016 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1020 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1021 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1022 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1025 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1026 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1027 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1028 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1031 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1035 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1036 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1037 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1039 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1040 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1041 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1042 created so that the process can be more easily
1043 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1045 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

1047 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1048 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1050 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1051 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1054 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1055 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1057 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1058 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1059 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1061 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1062 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1063 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1065 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1066 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1068 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1069 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1072 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1073 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1077 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1078 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1080 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1081 ... this is not my day today ...
1083 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1084 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1085 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1086 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1087 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1090 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1091 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1092 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1093 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1094 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1097 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1099 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1100 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1101 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1102 this is not ever something you want to do
1103 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1104 - added tests for this (stevan)
1107 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1109 - added test for this
1111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1113 - added tests for this (wreis)
1115 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*

1117 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1118 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1120 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1121 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1122 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1125 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1127 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1129 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1132 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1133 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1134 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1135 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1136 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1137 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1138 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1139 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1140 - added tests for this
1142 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1143 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1144 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1145 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1147 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1149 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1150 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1151 - added tests for this (sartak)
1152 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1153 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1156 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1158 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1159 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)

1162 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1163 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1164 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1166 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1168 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1169 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1172 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1174 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1176 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1177 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1178 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1180 - added docs for this (TODO).
1181 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1182 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1183 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1184 - fix builder and default both being used
1189 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1191 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite

1202 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1203 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1205 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1206 - move the ClassName type check code to
1207 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1209 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1210 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1212 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1213 (early morning release engineering)--
1215 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1216 which was causing the indexer to choke
1218 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1219 (late night release engineering)--
1221 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1222 changes in this release
1224 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1225 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1226 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1228 * Moose::Meta::Class
1229 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1230 since it is called so often by &meta
1232 * Moose::Meta::Class
1234 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1235 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1238 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1239 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1240 method for immutablization to check if the
1241 destructor object even needs to be created
1244 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1245 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1246 - added more descriptive error message to help
1247 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1248 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1250 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1252 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1253 XS based functionality is now optional
1254 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1255 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1256 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1258 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1259 to take care of this, mostly we added
1260 support for the package_name and name
1261 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1262 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1263 support regexp matching of names
1264 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1265 - tests added for this
1266 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1267 is currently not supported in roles,
1268 but, ... patches welcome
1269 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1270 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1271 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1274 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1275 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1276 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1277 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1278 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1279 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1280 - added test for this
1282 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1283 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1284 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1287 * Moose::Meta::Class
1288 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1292 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1294 - added tests for this
1295 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1296 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1298 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1299 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1300 themselves parameterizable types
1302 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1303 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1304 called by the inlined immutable
1306 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1308 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1309 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1310 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1311 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1313 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1314 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1318 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1319 causing occasional cpantester failures
1320 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1321 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1323 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1325 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1326 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1329 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1330 ->body when looping through the
1331 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1333 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1334 eating the $@ values, and so not
1335 working correctly, it still kind of
1336 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1337 - added tests for this
1339 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1340 - added new recipe for immutable
1341 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1343 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1344 - added new recipe for builder and
1345 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1347 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1348 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1349 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1352 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1354 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1355 since Module::Install has done that.
1357 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1359 drink more coffee before
1360 doing release engineering
1362 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1363 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1364 modules. This fixes that.
1366 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1367 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1368 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1370 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1371 since we have tests which need the C3
1374 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1375 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1377 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1378 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1380 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1381 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1382 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1383 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1389 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1390 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
1392 * Moose::Meta::Class
1393 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
1394 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1396 - added test for this
1398 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1399 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
1400 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
1401 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
1402 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
1403 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
1405 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1406 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
1408 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden

1477 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1479 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1480 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1523 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1524 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1770 - added tests for this
1773 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1774 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1816 - fixed how required methods are handled
1817 when they encounter overriden or modified
1818 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1819 - added tests for this
1821 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1823 the | always creates a union and so is
1824 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1825 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

1829 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1832 * Parameterized Types
1833 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1834 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1835 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1836 They can also be nested:
1837 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1838 And work with the type unions as well:
1839 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1841 * Better Framework Extendability
1842 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1843 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1844 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1845 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1848 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1849 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1850 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1851 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2078 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2079 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2080 to build the list of delegated methods
2081 correctly (and not override important
2082 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2084 - added tests and docs for this
2085 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2086 so that you can actually document your
2087 attributes and inspect them through the
2089 - added tests and docs for this
2091 * Moose::Meta::Class
2092 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2093 it will first look in for the class in the
2094 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2095 then default to just loading $name.
2096 - added tests and docs for this
2098 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2099 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2100 - added test for this
2103 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2104 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2105 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2106 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2108 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2109 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2112 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2114 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2115 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2116 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2119 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2120 !! for this developer release to work !!
2122 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2123 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2124 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2125 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2126 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2127 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2128 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2129 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2130 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2131 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2132 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2134 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2135 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2136 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2137 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2140 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2141 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2142 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2143 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2144 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2146 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2148 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2149 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2152 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2153 called unless they actually need to be.
2154 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2155 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2156 DEMOLISH method present.
2158 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2159 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2160 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2161 type constraint, which allows for a
2162 hand optimized version of the type
2163 constraint to be used when possible.
2164 - Any internally created type constraints
2165 now provide an optimized version as well.
2167 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2169 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2170 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2171 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2173 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2174 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2175 your class namespace of these exported
2178 * Moose::Meta::Class
2179 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2180 comes up during global destruction
2182 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2186 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2189 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2190 - changed how we do type checks so that
2191 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2194 - moved accessor generation methods to
2195 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2196 conform to the API changes from
2199 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2200 - changed how constraints are compiled
2201 so that we do less recursion and more
2202 iteration. This makes the type check
2204 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2207 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2208 - created this from methods formerly found in
2209 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2211 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2212 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2215 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2217 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2218 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2220 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2222 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2223 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2224 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2225 - added tests for this
2226 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2227 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2228 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2229 - removed tests for this
2231 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2233 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2234 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2235 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2238 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2239 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2240 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2242 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2243 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2244 comments for more info.
2247 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2248 asked questions and common problems
2250 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2251 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2252 - added tests for this
2254 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2255 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2256 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2257 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2259 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2260 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2263 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2264 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2265 is much appreciated :)
2266 - added tests for this
2268 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2269 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2270 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2273 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2274 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2276 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2278 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2279 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2283 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2284 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2285 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2287 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2289 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2292 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2293 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2294 keywords because we need to localize them.
2295 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2297 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2298 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2299 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2302 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2305 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2306 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2307 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2310 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2311 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2312 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2314 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2316 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2317 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2318 bottom of your class file.
2321 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2324 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2326 - improved error message when loading modules so
2327 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2328 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2329 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2332 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2333 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2334 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2336 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2337 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2339 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2340 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2341 turn them on for you.
2342 - added tests for this
2343 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2344 in Moose::Meta::Class
2347 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2348 automatically turned on for you.

2371 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2372 - This release works in combination with
2373 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2374 release because it uses the a new
2375 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2376 complete Role implementation. It has
2377 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2378 the the previous CPAN version. This
2379 release also lacks good updated docs,
2380 the official release will have updated docs.
2383 - refactored the keyword exports
2384 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2385 accepts more than one Role at a time

2387 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2390 - refactored the keyword exports
2391 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2392 accepts more than one Role at a time
2394 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2396 string enumerations which can be used as
2398 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2401 - more careful checking of params to new()
2404 - much work done on the role composition
2405 - many new tests for conflict detection
2406 and composition edge cases
2407 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2408 looking at the tests
2410 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2411 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2412 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2414 * Moose::Meta::Class
2415 - some small changes to support the new
2417 - some small additions to support Roles
2419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2420 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2422 - some small changes to support the new
2424 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2425 with the 'handles' option
2426 - added several tests for this
2427 - no docs for this yet
2429 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2431 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2432 thanks to chansen for this commit
2433 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2434 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2435 on a per-attribute basis
2436 - added tests for this
2437 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2438 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2439 experimental feature and probably not finished

2441 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2442 - added tests for this

2504 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2506 - added test for this
