1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
7 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
8 * Moose::Object now has stubs for BUILD and DEMOLISH, so they can be safely
9 wrapped in roles without needing to provide your own stubs. (doy)
10 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions Moose::before,
11 Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs, with the same
12 behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp result in an error.
15 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
19 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
23 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
24 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
26 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
27 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
28 - Moose::Util::does_role
29 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
30 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
31 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
33 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
37 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
38 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
39 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
42 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
46 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 with Visual
47 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
50 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
54 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
55 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
58 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
62 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
64 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
67 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
68 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
69 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
71 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
72 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
73 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
76 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
77 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
79 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
80 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
81 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
83 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
85 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
86 substr et al, again. (sorear)
88 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
90 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
93 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
94 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
96 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
97 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
99 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
100 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
101 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
102 dependencies installed.
104 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
105 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
108 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
110 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
114 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
116 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
117 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
118 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
120 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
121 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
122 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
124 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
125 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
128 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
129 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
130 others. (nothingmuch)
132 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
133 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
134 remove_accessors. (doy)
136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
137 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
138 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
141 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
143 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
144 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
145 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
146 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
149 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
150 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
152 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
153 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
155 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
157 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
158 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
161 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
162 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
163 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
164 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
165 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
167 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
169 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
170 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
171 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
172 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
173 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
176 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
177 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
178 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
179 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
180 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
182 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
183 which were not receiving the value of
184 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
185 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
186 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
187 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
191 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
192 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
193 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
194 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
195 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
198 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
199 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
200 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
201 - added tests for this (Stevan)
204 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
205 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
206 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
209 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
210 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
211 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
213 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
214 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
215 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
218 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
219 class if you pass it options for
220 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
221 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
222 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
223 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
224 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
225 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
226 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
227 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
228 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
230 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
231 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
232 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
233 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
234 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
237 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
239 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
240 existing delegation API. (hdp)
242 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
243 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
244 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
245 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
246 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
247 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
250 * Moose::Error::Croak
251 * Moose::Error::Confess
252 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
253 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
256 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
259 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
260 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
261 installing a broken sub. (doy)
264 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
267 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
268 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
269 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
271 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
272 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
273 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
274 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
275 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
277 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
278 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
281 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
283 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
284 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
287 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
288 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
290 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
291 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
292 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
293 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
295 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
296 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
297 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
298 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
299 using it for new code!
301 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
302 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
303 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
304 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
306 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
307 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
308 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
309 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
310 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
311 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
312 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
313 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
316 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
319 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
320 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
324 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
327 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
328 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
331 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
332 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
333 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
336 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
337 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
340 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
341 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
344 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
345 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
346 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
347 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
348 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
349 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
351 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
353 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
356 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
357 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
358 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
360 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
361 associated_methods. (hdp)
362 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
363 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
364 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
365 misspelled) arguments
367 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
368 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
369 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
370 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
372 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
373 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
374 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
376 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
380 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
381 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
384 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
385 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
387 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
389 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
390 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
392 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
393 * Moose::Manual::Types
394 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
395 string parsing rathole (mst)
397 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
398 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
399 using plain objects instead
401 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
402 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
405 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
407 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
408 three times today (perigrin)
409 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
410 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
413 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
414 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
415 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
418 - A role's required methods are now represented by
419 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
420 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
421 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
422 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
423 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
426 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
427 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
428 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
429 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
432 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
434 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
437 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
439 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
442 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
443 during global destruction. This method has been made more
444 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
448 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
449 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
452 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
453 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
455 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
456 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
457 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
460 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
462 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
463 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
466 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
470 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
471 methods during global destruction (doy)
474 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
475 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
479 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
480 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
483 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
484 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
487 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
488 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
490 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
492 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
496 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
497 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
498 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
501 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
502 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
503 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
506 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
508 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
509 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
510 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
513 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
514 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
515 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
516 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
518 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
519 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
520 of the Moose core (Sartak)
523 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
526 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
527 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
528 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
532 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
533 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
536 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
538 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
541 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
542 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
545 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
546 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
549 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
550 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
553 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
556 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
558 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
559 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
563 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
565 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
566 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
569 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
570 * More deprecations and renamings
571 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
572 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
573 when an object is constructed)
576 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
577 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
578 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
580 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
581 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
582 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
583 feature, and it works again.
586 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
588 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
590 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
591 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
592 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
595 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
596 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
597 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
598 message. Test provided by perigrin.
600 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
601 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
602 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
603 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
604 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
607 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
608 metaclass object. (hdp)
610 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
611 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
612 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
613 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
614 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
615 point out this fact. (hdp)
617 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
618 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
620 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
621 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
624 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
625 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
626 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
627 called during instance construction were passed the
628 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
629 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
631 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
632 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
635 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
636 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
637 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
640 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
641 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
642 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
643 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
644 them, but they are not for "public" use.
647 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
649 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
650 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
651 when an object is constructed)
652 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
654 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
655 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
656 when an object is constructed)
657 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
658 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
659 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
662 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
664 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
665 * No changes from 0.72_01.
667 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
669 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
670 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
671 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
673 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
674 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
675 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
677 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
679 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
680 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
682 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
683 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
686 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
687 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
690 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
691 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
692 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
694 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
695 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
699 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
700 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
701 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
703 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
704 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
707 * Moose::Manual::Delta
708 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
709 with recommended workarounds.
711 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
712 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
714 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
715 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
716 (yes, spelled like that).
718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
719 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
722 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
723 changes in latest Class::MOP.
725 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
727 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
728 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
729 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
730 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
731 instead. Reported by doy.
733 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
735 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
736 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
738 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
739 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
740 message) is now deprecated.
741 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
742 often got it wrong. For example:
744 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
746 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
750 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
751 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
752 bite you in weird cases.
754 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
755 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
756 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
759 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
760 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
764 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
767 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
768 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
771 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
772 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
774 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
775 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
778 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
779 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
780 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
781 - added tests for this (stevan)
783 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
784 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
785 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
786 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
790 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
791 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
792 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
793 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
795 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
796 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
797 - added tests for this (rafl)
799 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
800 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
801 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
802 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
806 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
807 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
810 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
811 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
812 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
814 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
816 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
817 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
820 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
821 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
822 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
823 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
825 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
826 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
827 error message did not specify the attribute name
830 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
832 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
834 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
835 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
836 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
838 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
839 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
842 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
844 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
845 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
846 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
847 of fixes and formatting improvements.
849 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
851 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
852 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
853 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
854 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
856 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
857 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
858 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
860 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
861 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
862 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
863 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
864 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
866 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
867 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
868 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
869 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
870 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
872 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
873 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
874 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
875 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
876 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
877 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
879 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
880 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
881 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
882 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
883 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
884 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
886 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
887 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
889 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
890 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
891 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
892 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
894 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
895 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
898 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
902 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
903 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
905 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
906 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
907 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
910 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
911 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
912 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
914 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
915 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
916 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
917 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
920 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
923 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
924 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
926 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
928 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
931 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
932 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
933 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
934 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
935 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
936 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
938 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
939 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
940 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
941 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
942 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
943 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
944 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
945 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
946 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
947 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
949 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
951 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
952 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
954 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
955 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
956 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
957 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
959 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
960 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
961 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
962 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
963 same methods for a single role did not work
964 right (worked just fine with multiple
966 - added test for this (stevan)
968 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
969 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
970 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
973 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
974 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
975 - added test for this (t0m)
978 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
979 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
980 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
982 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
983 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
984 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
985 - added test for this (t0m)
987 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
988 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
989 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
990 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
991 - added test for this (perigrin)
994 - create method for constructing a role
996 - added test for this (Sartak)
997 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
998 - added test for this (Sartak)
1001 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1003 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1004 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1005 methods is useful (Sartak)
1007 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1009 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1012 * Moose::Meta::Class
1013 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1014 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1015 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1016 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1017 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1018 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1021 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1022 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1024 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1025 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1026 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1027 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1028 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1030 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1032 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1033 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1034 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1037 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1038 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1039 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1040 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1041 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1042 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1045 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1046 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1047 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1048 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1049 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1050 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1051 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1052 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1053 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1054 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1055 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1057 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1058 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1061 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1062 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1063 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1064 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1065 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1067 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1069 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1070 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1071 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1073 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1074 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1076 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1077 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1078 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1079 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1082 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1083 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1085 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1087 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1088 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1090 * Moose::Meta::Class
1091 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1092 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1093 a required attribute
1095 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1096 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1097 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1098 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1100 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1101 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1103 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1104 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1105 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1106 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1107 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1108 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1109 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1110 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1112 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1113 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1114 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1116 * Roles and role application
1117 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1118 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1119 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1120 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1121 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1123 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1124 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1127 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1128 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1129 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1130 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1131 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1134 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1135 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1136 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1137 changes in the Moose internals.
1139 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1141 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1145 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1146 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1147 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1149 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1150 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1151 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1152 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1154 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1155 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1156 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1157 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1158 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1159 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1160 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1161 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1162 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1163 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1164 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1165 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1166 constraint implementations.
1168 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1172 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1173 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1174 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1175 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1176 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1177 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1178 - added tests for this (rafl)
1180 * Moose::Meta::Class
1181 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1182 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1183 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1184 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1185 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1186 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1187 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1188 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1191 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1192 - added tests for this (thepler)
1194 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1195 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1196 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1197 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1200 * Moose::Meta::Class
1201 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1202 * Moose::Meta::Method
1205 * Moose::Error::Default
1206 * Moose::Error::Croak
1207 * Moose::Error::Confess
1208 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1209 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1210 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1211 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1212 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1213 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1215 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1217 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1218 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1220 * Moose::Unsweetened
1221 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1222 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1223 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1225 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1226 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1227 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1228 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1229 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1232 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1233 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1235 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1236 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1237 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1238 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1241 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1243 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1244 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1246 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1249 - Various bug fixes.
1251 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1252 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1254 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1256 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1257 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1258 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1259 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1260 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1261 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1263 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1264 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1265 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1267 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1268 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1269 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1272 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1273 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1274 dependency to 0.64_07.
1276 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1277 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1278 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1280 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1281 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1284 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1285 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1286 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1287 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1288 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1289 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1291 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1292 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1294 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1296 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1297 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1301 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1302 method when that method was provided by another role being
1303 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1304 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1306 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1308 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1309 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1311 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1312 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1313 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1314 - added test for this (t0m)
1316 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1317 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1318 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1320 - added test for this (t0m)
1323 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1324 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1325 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1328 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1329 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1331 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1333 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1334 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1336 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1337 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1338 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1340 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

1411 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1412 ... this is not my day today ...
1414 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1415 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1416 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1417 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1418 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1421 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1422 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1423 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1424 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1425 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1428 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1430 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1431 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1463 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1464 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1465 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1466 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1467 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1468 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1469 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1470 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1471 - added tests for this
1473 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1474 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1584 XS based functionality is now optional
1585 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2038 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2039 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2040 types without having to explictly define them
2041 - added tests for this
2043 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2044 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2045 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2047 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2048 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2049 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2050 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2051 - added tests for this
2052 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2053 a single type at different times instead of
2054 having to do it all in one place
2055 - added tests for this
2057 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2058 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2059 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2062 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2063 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2064 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2065 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2066 new features above (although you cannot add
2067 more type coercions for Union types)
2069 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2070 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2071 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2072 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2073 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2074 - added tests for this.
2075 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2076 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2077 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2078 - added tests for this
2079 - added docs for this
2081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2082 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2083 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2084 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2085 instead it will just return undef.
2086 - added docs for this
2088 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2100 with work correctly.
2101 - added tests for this
2104 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2105 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2108 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2109 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2110 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2112 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2144 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2147 - fixed how required methods are handled
2148 when they encounter overriden or modified
2149 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2150 - added tests for this
2152 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2153 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2154 the | always creates a union and so is
2155 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2156 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2158 - added more tests for this
2160 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2163 * Parameterized Types
2164 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2165 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2166 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2167 They can also be nested:
2168 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2169 And work with the type unions as well:
2170 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2172 * Better Framework Extendability
2173 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2174 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2175 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2176 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2179 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2180 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2181 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2182 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2185 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2187 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2188 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2191 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2218 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2219 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2221 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2222 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2223 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2224 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2226 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2227 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2228 - updated the accompanying test as well
2230 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2231 +++ with new features added as well +++
2233 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2237 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2239 - added tests for this
2241 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2242 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2243 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2244 can track where the type constraints are created
2246 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2247 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2248 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2250 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2251 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2252 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2253 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2267 (thanks to shlomif).
2269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2270 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2271 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2272 - added tests for this

2275 - added tests for this
2277 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2278 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2279 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

2308 - This contains Moose specific test functions
2309 - added tests for these
2311 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2312 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2315 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2316 to the 'handles' option.
2317 - added tests and docs for this

2320 (but not changing the handles option)
2321 - added tests and docs for this
2324 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2325 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2326 - adjusted tests for this
2328 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2330 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2336 the other side (perigrin)
2338 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2339 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2340 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2341 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2342 prototypes for functions
2343 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2344 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2354 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2357 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2358 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2359 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2360 - added tests for this
2362 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2364 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2377 where not handled correctly in roles
2378 - added tests for this
2380 * Moose::Meta::Class
2381 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2382 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2383 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2385 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2386 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2388 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2389 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2390 so this release is just to fix that.
2393 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2394 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2395 (thanks to konobi for this)
2396 - added tests and docs
2398 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2399 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2401 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2402 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2403 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2404 - added tests for this
2405 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2406 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2407 functions to facilitate introspection.
2409 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2410 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2411 to build the list of delegated methods
2412 correctly (and not override important
2413 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2415 - added tests and docs for this
2416 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2417 so that you can actually document your
2418 attributes and inspect them through the
2420 - added tests and docs for this
2422 * Moose::Meta::Class
2423 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2424 it will first look in for the class in the
2425 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2426 then default to just loading $name.
2427 - added tests and docs for this
2429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2430 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2431 - added test for this
2434 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2435 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2436 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2437 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2439 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2440 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2443 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2445 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2446 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2447 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2450 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2451 !! for this developer release to work !!
2453 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2454 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2455 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2456 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2457 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2458 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2459 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2460 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2461 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2462 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2463 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2465 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2466 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2467 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2468 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2471 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2472 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2473 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2474 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2475 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2477 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2479 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2480 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2483 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2484 called unless they actually need to be.
2485 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2486 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2487 DEMOLISH method present.
2489 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2490 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2491 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2492 type constraint, which allows for a
2493 hand optimized version of the type
2494 constraint to be used when possible.
2495 - Any internally created type constraints
2496 now provide an optimized version as well.
2498 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2500 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2501 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2502 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2504 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2505 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2506 your class namespace of these exported
2509 * Moose::Meta::Class
2510 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2511 comes up during global destruction
2513 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2517 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2520 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2521 - changed how we do type checks so that
2522 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2525 - moved accessor generation methods to
2526 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2527 conform to the API changes from
2530 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2531 - changed how constraints are compiled
2532 so that we do less recursion and more
2533 iteration. This makes the type check
2535 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2538 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2539 - created this from methods formerly found in
2540 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2542 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2543 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2545 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2546 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2548 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2549 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2551 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2553 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2554 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2555 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2556 - added tests for this
2557 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2558 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2559 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2560 - removed tests for this
2562 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2564 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2565 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2566 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2569 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2570 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2571 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2573 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2574 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2575 comments for more info.
2578 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2579 asked questions and common problems
2581 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2582 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2583 - added tests for this
2585 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2586 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2587 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2588 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2590 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2591 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2594 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2595 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2596 is much appreciated :)
2597 - added tests for this
2599 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2600 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2601 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2604 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2605 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2607 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2609 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2610 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2614 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2615 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2616 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2618 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2620 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2623 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2624 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2625 keywords because we need to localize them.
2626 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2628 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2629 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2630 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2633 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2636 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2637 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2638 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2641 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2642 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2643 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2645 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2647 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2648 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2649 bottom of your class file.
2652 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2655 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2657 - improved error message when loading modules so
2658 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2659 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2660 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2663 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2664 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2665 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2667 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2668 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2670 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2671 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2672 turn them on for you.
2673 - added tests for this
2674 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2675 in Moose::Meta::Class
2678 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2679 automatically turned on for you.
2680 - added tests for this
2683 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2684 - added tests for this
2685 - added some more edge case tests

2697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2698 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2701 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2702 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2703 - This release works in combination with
2704 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2705 release because it uses the a new
2706 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2707 complete Role implementation. It has
2708 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2709 the the previous CPAN version. This
2710 release also lacks good updated docs,
2711 the official release will have updated docs.
2714 - refactored the keyword exports
2715 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2716 accepts more than one Role at a time
2717 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2718 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2721 - refactored the keyword exports
2722 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2723 accepts more than one Role at a time
2725 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2726 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2727 string enumerations which can be used as
2729 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2732 - more careful checking of params to new()
2735 - much work done on the role composition
2736 - many new tests for conflict detection
2737 and composition edge cases

2762 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2763 thanks to chansen for this commit
