1 See also Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of and workarounds
2 for noteworthy changes.
6 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual
7 goal of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
8 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
10 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
11 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
12 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
13 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
14 message. Test provided by perigrin.
16 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
17 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
18 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's suggestion
19 to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
20 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
23 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
24 metaclass object. (hdp)
26 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
27 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
28 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
29 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
30 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and point out
34 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
35 * No changes from 0.72_01.
37 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
39 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
40 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
41 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
43 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
44 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
45 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
47 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
49 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
50 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
52 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
53 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
56 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
57 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
60 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
61 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
62 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
64 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
65 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
69 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
70 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
71 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
73 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
74 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
77 * Moose::Manual::Delta
78 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
79 with recommended workarounds.
81 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
82 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
84 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
85 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
86 (yes, spelled like that).
88 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
89 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
92 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
93 changes in latest Class::MOP.
95 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
97 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
98 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
99 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
100 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
101 instead. Reported by doy.
103 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
105 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
106 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
109 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
110 message) is now deprecated.
111 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
112 often got it wrong. For example:
114 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
116 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
120 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
121 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
122 bite you in weird cases.
124 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
125 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
126 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
129 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
130 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
134 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
137 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
138 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
141 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
142 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
144 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
145 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
148 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
149 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
150 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
151 - added tests for this (stevan)
153 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
154 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
155 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
156 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
160 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
161 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
162 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
163 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
165 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
166 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
167 - added tests for this (rafl)
169 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
170 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
171 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
172 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
176 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
177 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
180 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
181 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
182 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
184 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
186 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
187 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
190 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
191 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
192 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
193 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
195 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
196 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
197 error message did not specify the attribute name
200 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
202 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
204 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
205 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
206 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
208 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
209 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
212 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
214 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
215 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
216 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
217 of fixes and formatting improvements.
219 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
221 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
222 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
223 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
224 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
227 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
228 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
231 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
232 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
233 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
234 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
236 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
237 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
238 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
239 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
240 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
242 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
243 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
244 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
245 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
246 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
247 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
249 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
250 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
251 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
252 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
253 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
254 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
256 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
257 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
259 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
260 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
261 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
262 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
264 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
265 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
268 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
272 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
273 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
275 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
276 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
277 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
280 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
281 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
282 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
284 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
285 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
286 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
287 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
290 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
293 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
294 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
296 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
298 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
301 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
302 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
303 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
304 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
305 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
306 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
309 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
310 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
311 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
312 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
313 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
314 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
315 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
316 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
317 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
319 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
321 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
322 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
324 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
325 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
326 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
327 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
329 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
330 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
331 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
332 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
333 same methods for a single role did not work
334 right (worked just fine with multiple
336 - added test for this (stevan)
338 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
339 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
340 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
343 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
344 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
345 - added test for this (t0m)
348 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
349 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
350 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
352 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
353 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
354 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
355 - added test for this (t0m)
357 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
358 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
359 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
360 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
361 - added test for this (perigrin)
364 - create method for constructing a role
366 - added test for this (Sartak)
367 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
368 - added test for this (Sartak)
371 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
373 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
374 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
375 methods is useful (Sartak)
377 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
378 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
379 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
383 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
384 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
385 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
386 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
387 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
388 - added tests for this (jdv79)
391 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
392 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
394 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
395 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
396 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
397 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
398 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
400 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
402 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
403 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
404 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
407 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
408 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
409 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
410 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
411 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
412 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
415 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
416 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
417 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
418 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
419 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
420 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
421 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
422 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
423 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
424 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
425 future. (jnapiorkowski)
427 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
428 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
431 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
432 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
433 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
434 type. (jnapiorkowski)
435 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
437 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
439 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
440 predicate, and link to more details sections in
441 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
443 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
444 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
446 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
447 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
448 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
449 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
452 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
453 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
455 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
457 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
458 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
461 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
462 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
465 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
466 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
467 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
468 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
470 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
471 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
473 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
474 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
475 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
476 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
477 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
478 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
479 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
480 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
482 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
483 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
484 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
486 * Roles and role application
487 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
488 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
489 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
490 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
491 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
493 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
494 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
497 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
498 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
499 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
500 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
501 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
504 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
505 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
506 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
507 changes in the Moose internals.
509 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
510 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
511 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
514 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
515 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
516 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
517 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
519 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
520 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
521 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
522 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
524 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
525 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
526 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
527 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
528 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
529 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
530 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
531 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
532 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
533 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
534 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
535 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
536 constraint implementations.
538 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
542 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
543 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
544 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
545 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
546 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
547 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
548 - added tests for this (rafl)
551 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
552 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
553 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
554 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
555 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
556 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
557 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
558 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
561 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
562 - added tests for this (thepler)
564 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
565 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
566 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
567 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
571 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
572 * Moose::Meta::Method
575 * Moose::Error::Default
576 * Moose::Error::Croak
577 * Moose::Error::Confess
578 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
579 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
580 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
581 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
582 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
583 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
585 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
587 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
588 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
591 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
592 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
593 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
596 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
597 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
598 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
599 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
602 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
603 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
605 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
606 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
607 several major changes in this release of Moose.
608 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
611 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
613 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
614 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
616 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
621 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
622 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
624 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
626 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
627 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
628 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
629 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
630 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
631 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
633 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
634 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
635 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
637 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
638 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
639 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
642 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
643 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
644 dependency to 0.64_07.
646 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
647 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
648 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
650 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
651 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
655 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
656 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
657 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
658 coincidental exception. (t0m).
659 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
661 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
662 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
664 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
666 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
667 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
671 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
672 method when that method was provided by another role being
673 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
674 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
676 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
678 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
679 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
681 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
682 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
683 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
684 - added test for this (t0m)
686 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
687 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
688 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
690 - added test for this (t0m)
693 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
694 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
695 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)

701 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
703 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
706 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

781 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
782 ... this is not my day today ...
784 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
785 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
786 clone_and_inherit options still works for
787 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
788 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
791 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
792 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
793 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
794 in this release, except the fact that it includes
795 the changes that I didn't include in the last
798 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
800 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
801 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

833 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
834 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
835 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
836 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
837 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
838 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
839 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
840 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
841 - added tests for this
843 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

922 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
923 changes in this release

926 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
927 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

1027 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1030 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1031 ->body when looping through the

1178 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1180 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1220 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1222 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1404 HashRef for containers (sartak)
1405 - added tests for this
1407 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

1409 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
1410 types without having to explictly define them
1411 - added tests for this
1413 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1414 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
1415 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
1417 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
1418 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1419 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
1420 they should inherit the parent's coercion
1421 - added tests for this
1422 - you can now define multiple coercions on
1423 a single type at different times instead of
1424 having to do it all in one place
1425 - added tests for this
1427 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1428 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
1429 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
1432 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1433 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1434 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1435 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
1436 new features above (although you cannot add
1437 more type coercions for Union types)
1439 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1440 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1441 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
1442 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
1443 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
1444 - added tests for this.
1445 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
1446 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
1447 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
1448 - added tests for this
1449 - added docs for this
1451 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1452 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
1453 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
1454 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
1455 instead it will just return undef.
1456 - added docs for this
1458 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

1470 with work correctly.
1471 - added tests for this
1474 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1475 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
1478 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
1479 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
1480 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
1482 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
1483 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1514 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1517 - fixed how required methods are handled
1518 when they encounter overriden or modified
1519 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1520 - added tests for this
1522 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1523 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1524 the | always creates a union and so is
1525 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1526 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1528 - added more tests for this
1530 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1533 * Parameterized Types
1534 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1535 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1536 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1537 They can also be nested:
1538 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1539 And work with the type unions as well:
1540 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1542 * Better Framework Extendability
1543 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1544 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1545 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1546 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1549 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1550 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1551 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1552 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1555 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1557 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1558 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

1593 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
1594 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
1596 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
1597 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

1617 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1618 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1620 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1621 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
1622 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
1623 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

1637 (thanks to shlomif).
1639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1640 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
1641 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
1642 - added tests for this

1645 - added tests for this
1647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1648 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1690 (but not changing the handles option)
1691 - added tests and docs for this
1694 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1695 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1698 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1699 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1700 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1706 the other side (perigrin)
1708 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1709 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1710 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1711 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1712 prototypes for functions
1713 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1714 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1724 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1727 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1728 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1729 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1730 - added tests for this
1732 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1734 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1755 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1756 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1758 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1759 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1760 so this release is just to fix that.
1763 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1764 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1765 (thanks to konobi for this)
1766 - added tests and docs
1768 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

1771 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1772 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1773 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1774 - added tests for this

1776 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1777 functions to facilitate introspection.
1779 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1780 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1781 to build the list of delegated methods
1782 correctly (and not override important
1783 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1785 - added tests and docs for this
1786 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1787 so that you can actually document your
1788 attributes and inspect them through the
1790 - added tests and docs for this
1792 * Moose::Meta::Class
1793 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1794 it will first look in for the class in the
1795 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1796 then default to just loading $name.
1797 - added tests and docs for this
1799 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1800 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1801 - added test for this
1804 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1805 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1806 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1807 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1809 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1810 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1813 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1815 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1816 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1817 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1820 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1821 !! for this developer release to work !!
1823 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1824 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1825 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1826 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1827 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1828 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1829 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1830 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1831 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1832 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1833 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1835 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1836 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1837 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1838 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1841 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1842 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1843 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1844 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1845 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1847 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1849 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1850 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1853 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1854 called unless they actually need to be.
1855 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1856 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1857 DEMOLISH method present.
1859 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1860 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1861 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1862 type constraint, which allows for a
1863 hand optimized version of the type
1864 constraint to be used when possible.
1865 - Any internally created type constraints
1866 now provide an optimized version as well.
1868 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1870 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1871 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1872 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1874 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1875 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1876 your class namespace of these exported
1879 * Moose::Meta::Class
1880 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1881 comes up during global destruction
1883 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1887 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1890 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1891 - changed how we do type checks so that
1892 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1895 - moved accessor generation methods to
1896 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1897 conform to the API changes from
1900 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1901 - changed how constraints are compiled
1902 so that we do less recursion and more
1903 iteration. This makes the type check
1905 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1908 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1909 - created this from methods formerly found in
1910 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1912 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1913 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1915 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1916 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1918 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1919 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1921 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1923 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1924 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1925 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1926 - added tests for this
1927 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1928 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1929 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1930 - removed tests for this
1932 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1934 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1935 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1936 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1939 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1940 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1941 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1943 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1944 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1945 comments for more info.
1948 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1949 asked questions and common problems
1951 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1952 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1953 - added tests for this
1955 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1956 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1957 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1958 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1960 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1961 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1964 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1965 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1966 is much appreciated :)
1967 - added tests for this
1969 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1970 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1971 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1974 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1975 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1977 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1979 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1980 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1984 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1985 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1986 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1988 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1990 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1993 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1994 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1995 keywords because we need to localize them.
1996 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1998 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1999 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2000 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2003 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2006 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2007 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2008 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2011 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2012 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2013 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2015 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2017 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2018 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2019 bottom of your class file.
2022 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2025 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2027 - improved error message when loading modules so
2028 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2029 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2030 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2033 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2034 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2035 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2037 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2038 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2040 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2041 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2042 turn them on for you.
2043 - added tests for this
2044 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2045 in Moose::Meta::Class

2072 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2073 - This release works in combination with
2074 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2075 release because it uses the a new
2076 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2077 complete Role implementation. It has
2078 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2079 the the previous CPAN version. This
2080 release also lacks good updated docs,
2081 the official release will have updated docs.
2084 - refactored the keyword exports
2085 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2086 accepts more than one Role at a time
2087 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2088 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2091 - refactored the keyword exports
2092 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2093 accepts more than one Role at a time
2095 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2096 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2097 string enumerations which can be used as
2099 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t

2105 - much work done on the role composition
2106 - many new tests for conflict detection
2107 and composition edge cases
2108 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2109 looking at the tests

2132 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2133 thanks to chansen for this commit
