1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
6 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
9 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
10 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
11 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
15 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
16 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
19 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
21 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
24 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
25 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
28 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
29 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
32 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
33 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
36 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
39 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
41 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
42 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
46 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
48 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
49 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
52 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
53 * More deprecations and renamings
54 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
55 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
56 when an object is constructed)
59 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
60 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
61 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
63 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
64 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
65 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
66 feature, and it works again.
69 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
71 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
73 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
74 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
75 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
77 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
78 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
79 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
80 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
81 message. Test provided by perigrin.
83 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
84 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
85 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
86 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
87 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
90 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
91 metaclass object. (hdp)
93 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
94 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
95 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
96 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
97 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
98 point out this fact. (hdp)
100 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
101 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
103 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
104 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
107 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
108 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
109 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
110 called during instance construction were passed the
111 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
112 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
114 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
115 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
118 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
119 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
120 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
123 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
124 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
125 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
126 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
127 them, but they are not for "public" use.
130 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
132 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
133 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
134 when an object is constructed)
135 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
137 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
138 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
139 when an object is constructed)
140 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
141 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
142 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
145 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
147 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
148 * No changes from 0.72_01.
150 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
152 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
153 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
154 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
156 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
157 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
158 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
160 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
162 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
163 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
165 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
166 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
169 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
170 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
173 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
174 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
175 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
177 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
178 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
182 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
183 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
184 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
186 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
187 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
190 * Moose::Manual::Delta
191 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
192 with recommended workarounds.
194 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
195 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
197 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
198 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
199 (yes, spelled like that).
201 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
202 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
205 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
206 changes in latest Class::MOP.
208 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
211 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
212 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
213 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
214 instead. Reported by doy.
216 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
218 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
219 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
221 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
222 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
223 message) is now deprecated.
224 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
225 often got it wrong. For example:
227 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
229 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
233 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
234 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
235 bite you in weird cases.
237 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
238 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
239 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
242 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
243 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
247 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
250 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
251 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
254 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
255 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
257 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
258 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
261 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
262 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
263 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
264 - added tests for this (stevan)
266 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
267 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
268 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
269 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
273 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
274 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
275 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
276 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
278 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
279 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
280 - added tests for this (rafl)
282 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
283 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
284 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
285 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
289 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
290 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
293 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
294 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
295 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
297 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
299 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
300 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
303 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
304 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
305 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
306 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
309 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
310 error message did not specify the attribute name
313 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
315 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
317 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
318 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
319 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
321 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
322 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
325 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
327 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
328 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
329 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
330 of fixes and formatting improvements.
332 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
334 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
335 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
336 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
337 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
340 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
341 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
343 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
344 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
345 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
346 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
347 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
349 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
350 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
351 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
352 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
353 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
355 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
356 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
357 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
358 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
359 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
360 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
362 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
363 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
364 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
365 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
366 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
367 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
369 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
370 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
372 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
373 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
374 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
375 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
377 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
378 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
381 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
385 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
386 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
388 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
389 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
390 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
393 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
394 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
395 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
397 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
398 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
399 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
400 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
403 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
406 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
407 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
409 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
411 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
414 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
415 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
416 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
417 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
418 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
419 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
421 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
422 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
423 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
424 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
425 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
426 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
427 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
428 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
429 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
430 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
432 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
434 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
435 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
438 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
439 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
440 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
442 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
443 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
444 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
445 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
446 same methods for a single role did not work
447 right (worked just fine with multiple
449 - added test for this (stevan)
451 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
452 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
453 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
456 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
457 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
458 - added test for this (t0m)
461 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
462 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
463 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
465 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
466 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
467 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
468 - added test for this (t0m)
470 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
471 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
472 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
473 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
474 - added test for this (perigrin)
477 - create method for constructing a role
479 - added test for this (Sartak)
480 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
481 - added test for this (Sartak)
484 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
486 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
487 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
488 methods is useful (Sartak)
490 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
492 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
496 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
497 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
498 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
499 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
500 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
501 - added tests for this (jdv79)
504 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
505 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
507 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
508 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
509 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
510 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
511 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
513 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
515 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
516 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
517 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
520 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
521 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
522 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
523 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
524 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
525 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
528 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
529 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
530 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
531 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
532 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
533 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
534 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
535 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
536 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
537 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
538 future. (jnapiorkowski)
540 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
541 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
544 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
545 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
546 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
547 type. (jnapiorkowski)
548 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
550 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
552 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
553 predicate, and link to more details sections in
554 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
556 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
557 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
559 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
560 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
561 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
562 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
565 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
566 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
568 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
570 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
571 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
574 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
575 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
578 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
579 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
580 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
581 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
583 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
584 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
586 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
587 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
588 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
589 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
590 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
591 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
592 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
593 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
595 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
596 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
597 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
599 * Roles and role application
600 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
601 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
602 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
603 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
604 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
606 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
607 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
610 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
611 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
612 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
613 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
614 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
617 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
618 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
619 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
620 changes in the Moose internals.
622 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
623 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
624 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
627 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
628 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
629 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
630 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
632 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
633 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
634 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
635 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
637 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
638 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
639 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
640 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
641 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
642 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
643 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
644 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
645 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
646 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
647 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
648 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
649 constraint implementations.
651 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
655 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
656 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
657 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
658 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
659 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
660 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
661 - added tests for this (rafl)
664 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
665 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
666 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
667 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
668 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
669 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
670 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
671 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
674 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
675 - added tests for this (thepler)
677 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
678 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
679 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
680 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
684 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
685 * Moose::Meta::Method
688 * Moose::Error::Default
689 * Moose::Error::Croak
690 * Moose::Error::Confess
691 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
692 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
693 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
694 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
695 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
696 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
698 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
700 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
701 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
704 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
705 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
706 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
709 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
710 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
711 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
712 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
715 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
716 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
718 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
719 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
720 several major changes in this release of Moose.
721 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

763 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
764 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
767 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
768 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
769 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
770 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
771 coincidental exception. (t0m).
772 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
774 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
775 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

797 - added test for this (t0m)
799 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

801 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
803 - added test for this (t0m)

807 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
808 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
811 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
812 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
814 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
816 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
819 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
820 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
821 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

865 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
868 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,

894 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
895 ... this is not my day today ...
897 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
898 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
899 clone_and_inherit options still works for
900 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
901 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
904 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
905 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
906 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
907 in this release, except the fact that it includes
908 the changes that I didn't include in the last
911 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
913 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
914 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

946 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
947 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
948 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
949 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
950 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
951 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
952 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
953 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
954 - added tests for this
956 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
957 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1067 XS based functionality is now optional
1068 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1069 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1070 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1077 support regexp matching of names
1078 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1173 drink more coffee before
1174 doing release engineering
1176 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1432 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
1433 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1434 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
1435 method in the first place ;)
1437 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
1438 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~

1446 cleanup of the role system
1447 - 100% backwards compat.
1448 - Role application now restructured into seperate
1449 classes based on type of applicants

1453 - new Composite role metaclass
1454 - runtime application of roles to instances
1455 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
1456 classes when applicable

1489 - added this module to support the refactor
1490 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1492 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

1498 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
1500 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1501 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
1502 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

1540 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1541 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
1542 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
1545 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1546 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1547 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1548 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

1562 - added docs for this
1564 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1565 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

1583 with work correctly.
1584 - added tests for this
1587 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1588 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
1591 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

1627 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1630 - fixed how required methods are handled
1631 when they encounter overriden or modified
1632 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1633 - added tests for this
1635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1636 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1637 the | always creates a union and so is
1638 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1639 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1641 - added more tests for this
1643 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1646 * Parameterized Types
1647 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1648 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1649 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1650 They can also be nested:
1651 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1652 And work with the type unions as well:
1653 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1655 * Better Framework Extendability
1656 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1657 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1658 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1659 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1662 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1663 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1664 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1665 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1668 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1670 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1671 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
1674 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

1730 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1731 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1733 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

1803 (but not changing the handles option)
1804 - added tests and docs for this
1807 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1808 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1812 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1813 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1819 the other side (perigrin)
1821 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1822 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1823 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1824 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1825 prototypes for functions
1826 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1827 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1837 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1840 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1841 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1842 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1843 - added tests for this
1845 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1847 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1869 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1871 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1872 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1873 so this release is just to fix that.
1876 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1877 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1878 (thanks to konobi for this)

1889 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1890 functions to facilitate introspection.
1892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1893 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1894 to build the list of delegated methods
1895 correctly (and not override important
1896 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1898 - added tests and docs for this
1899 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1900 so that you can actually document your
1901 attributes and inspect them through the
1903 - added tests and docs for this
1905 * Moose::Meta::Class
1906 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1907 it will first look in for the class in the
1908 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1909 then default to just loading $name.
1910 - added tests and docs for this
1912 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1913 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1914 - added test for this
1917 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1918 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1919 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1920 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1922 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1923 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1926 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1928 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1929 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1930 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1933 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1934 !! for this developer release to work !!
1936 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1937 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1938 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1939 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1940 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1941 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1942 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1943 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1944 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1945 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1946 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1948 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1949 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1950 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1951 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1954 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1955 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1956 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1957 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1958 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1960 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1962 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1963 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1966 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1967 called unless they actually need to be.
1968 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1969 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1970 DEMOLISH method present.
1972 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1973 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1974 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1975 type constraint, which allows for a
1976 hand optimized version of the type
1977 constraint to be used when possible.
1978 - Any internally created type constraints
1979 now provide an optimized version as well.
1981 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1983 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1984 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1985 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1987 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1988 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1989 your class namespace of these exported
1992 * Moose::Meta::Class
1993 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1994 comes up during global destruction
1996 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2000 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2003 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2004 - changed how we do type checks so that
2005 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2008 - moved accessor generation methods to
2009 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2010 conform to the API changes from
2013 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2014 - changed how constraints are compiled
2015 so that we do less recursion and more
2016 iteration. This makes the type check
2018 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2022 - created this from methods formerly found in
2023 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2025 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2026 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2028 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2029 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2031 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2032 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2034 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2037 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2038 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2039 - added tests for this
2040 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2041 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2042 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2043 - removed tests for this
2045 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2047 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2048 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2049 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2052 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2053 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2054 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2056 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2057 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2058 comments for more info.
2061 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2062 asked questions and common problems
2064 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2065 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2066 - added tests for this
2068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2069 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2070 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2071 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2073 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2074 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2077 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2078 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2079 is much appreciated :)
2080 - added tests for this
2082 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2083 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2084 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2087 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2088 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2090 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2092 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2093 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2097 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2098 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2099 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2101 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2103 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2106 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2107 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2108 keywords because we need to localize them.
2109 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2111 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2112 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2113 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2116 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2119 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2120 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2121 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2124 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2125 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2126 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2128 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2130 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2131 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2132 bottom of your class file.
2135 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2138 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2140 - improved error message when loading modules so
2141 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2142 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2143 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2146 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2147 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2148 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2151 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2153 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2154 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2155 turn them on for you.
2156 - added tests for this
2157 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2158 in Moose::Meta::Class
2161 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2162 automatically turned on for you.
2163 - added tests for this
2166 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2167 - added tests for this
2168 - added some more edge case tests

2181 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2184 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2185 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2186 - This release works in combination with
2187 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2188 release because it uses the a new
2189 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2190 complete Role implementation. It has
2191 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2192 the the previous CPAN version. This
2193 release also lacks good updated docs,
2194 the official release will have updated docs.
2197 - refactored the keyword exports
2198 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2199 accepts more than one Role at a time
2200 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2201 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2204 - refactored the keyword exports
2205 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2206 accepts more than one Role at a time
2208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2209 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2210 string enumerations which can be used as
2212 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2215 - more careful checking of params to new()
2218 - much work done on the role composition
2219 - many new tests for conflict detection
2220 and composition edge cases
2221 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2222 looking at the tests
2224 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2225 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2226 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2228 * Moose::Meta::Class
2229 - some small changes to support the new
2231 - some small additions to support Roles
2233 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2234 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2236 - some small changes to support the new
2238 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2239 with the 'handles' option
2240 - added several tests for this
2241 - no docs for this yet
2243 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2245 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2246 thanks to chansen for this commit
2247 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2248 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2249 on a per-attribute basis
2250 - added tests for this
2251 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2252 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2253 experimental feature and probably not finished
2254 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2255 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2256 - added tests for this
