1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
7 is applied to a class (t0m).
9 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
10 twice in the same sentance (Florian Ragwitz).
12 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
16 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
17 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
19 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
23 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
24 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
26 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
29 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
30 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
31 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
33 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
34 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
35 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
38 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
40 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
44 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
45 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
49 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
51 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
55 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
56 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
60 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
61 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
65 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
71 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
72 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
76 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
77 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
81 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
82 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
84 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
88 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
89 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
90 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
97 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
98 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
99 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
100 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
102 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
106 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
107 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
108 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
112 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
115 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
119 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
120 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
121 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
125 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
126 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
128 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
129 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
130 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
131 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
133 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
137 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
141 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
142 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
144 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
145 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
146 - Moose::Util::does_role
147 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
148 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
149 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
151 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
155 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
156 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
157 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
160 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
164 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
165 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
168 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
172 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
173 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
176 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
180 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
182 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
183 class. (Dave Rolsky).
185 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
186 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
187 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
189 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
190 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
191 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
194 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
195 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
197 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
198 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
199 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
201 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
203 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
204 substr et al, again. (sorear)
206 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
208 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
211 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
212 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
214 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
215 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
217 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
218 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
219 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
220 dependencies installed.
222 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
223 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
226 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
228 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
232 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
235 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
236 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
238 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
239 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
240 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
242 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
243 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
246 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
247 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
248 others. (nothingmuch)
250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
251 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
252 remove_accessors. (doy)
254 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
255 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
256 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
259 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
261 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
262 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
263 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
264 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
267 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
268 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
271 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
273 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
275 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
276 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
279 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
280 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
281 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
282 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
283 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
285 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
288 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
289 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
290 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
291 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
294 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
295 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
296 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
297 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
298 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
300 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
301 which were not receiving the value of
302 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
303 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
304 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
305 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
309 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
310 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
311 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
312 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
313 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
317 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
318 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
319 - added tests for this (Stevan)
322 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
323 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
324 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
327 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
329 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
331 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
332 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
333 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
336 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
337 class if you pass it options for
338 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
339 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
340 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
341 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
342 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
343 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
344 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
345 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
346 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
348 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
349 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
350 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
351 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
352 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
355 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
356 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
357 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
358 existing delegation API. (hdp)
360 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
361 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
362 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
363 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
364 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
365 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
368 * Moose::Error::Croak
369 * Moose::Error::Confess
370 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
371 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
374 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
377 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
378 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
379 installing a broken sub. (doy)
382 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
385 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
386 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
387 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
389 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
390 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
391 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
392 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
393 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
395 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
396 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
399 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
401 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
402 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
405 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
406 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
408 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
409 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
410 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
411 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
413 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
414 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
415 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
416 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
417 using it for new code!
419 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
420 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
421 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
422 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
424 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
425 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
426 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
427 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
428 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
429 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
430 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
431 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
434 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
437 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
438 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
441 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
442 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
445 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
446 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
450 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
451 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
454 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
455 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
457 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
458 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
459 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
462 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
464 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
465 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
466 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
467 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
469 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
471 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
474 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
475 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
476 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
478 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
479 associated_methods. (hdp)
480 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
481 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
482 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
483 misspelled) arguments
485 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
486 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
487 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
488 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
490 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
491 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
492 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
494 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
497 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
498 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
499 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
502 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
503 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
505 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
507 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
508 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
510 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
511 * Moose::Manual::Types
512 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
513 string parsing rathole (mst)
515 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
516 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
517 using plain objects instead
519 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
520 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
523 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
525 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
526 three times today (perigrin)
527 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
528 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
531 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
532 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
533 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
536 - A role's required methods are now represented by
537 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
538 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
539 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
540 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
541 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
544 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
545 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
546 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
547 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
550 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
552 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
555 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
557 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
560 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
561 during global destruction. This method has been made more
562 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
566 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
567 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
570 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
571 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
573 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
574 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
575 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
578 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
580 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
581 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
584 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
588 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
589 methods during global destruction (doy)
592 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
593 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
597 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
598 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
601 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
602 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
605 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
606 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
608 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
610 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
614 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
615 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
616 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
619 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
620 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
621 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
624 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
626 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
627 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
628 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
631 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
632 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
633 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
634 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
636 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
637 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
638 of the Moose core (Sartak)
641 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
644 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
645 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
646 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
650 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
651 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
654 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
656 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
659 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
660 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
663 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
664 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
667 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
668 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
671 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
674 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
676 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
677 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
681 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
683 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
684 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
687 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
688 * More deprecations and renamings
689 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
690 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
691 when an object is constructed)
694 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
695 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
696 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
698 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
699 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
700 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
701 feature, and it works again.
704 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
706 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
708 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
709 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
710 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
712 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
713 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
714 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
715 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
716 message. Test provided by perigrin.
718 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
719 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
720 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
721 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
722 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
725 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
726 metaclass object. (hdp)
728 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
729 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
730 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
731 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
732 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
733 point out this fact. (hdp)
735 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
736 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
738 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
739 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
742 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
743 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
744 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
745 called during instance construction were passed the
746 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
747 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
749 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
750 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
753 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
754 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
755 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
758 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
759 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
760 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
761 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
762 them, but they are not for "public" use.
765 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
767 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
768 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
769 when an object is constructed)
770 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
772 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
773 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
774 when an object is constructed)
775 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
776 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
777 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
780 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
782 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
783 * No changes from 0.72_01.
785 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
787 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
788 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
789 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
791 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
792 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
793 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
795 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
797 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
798 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
800 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
801 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
804 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
805 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
808 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
809 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
810 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
812 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
813 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
817 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
818 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
819 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
822 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
825 * Moose::Manual::Delta
826 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
827 with recommended workarounds.
829 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
830 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
832 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
833 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
834 (yes, spelled like that).
836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
837 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
840 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
841 changes in latest Class::MOP.
843 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
845 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
846 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
847 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
848 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
849 instead. Reported by doy.
851 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
853 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
854 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
856 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
857 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
858 message) is now deprecated.
859 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
860 often got it wrong. For example:
862 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
864 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
868 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
869 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
870 bite you in weird cases.
872 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
873 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
874 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
877 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
878 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
882 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
885 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
886 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
889 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
890 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
892 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
893 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
896 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
897 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
898 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
899 - added tests for this (stevan)
901 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
902 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
903 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
904 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
908 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
909 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
910 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
911 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
913 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
914 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
915 - added tests for this (rafl)
917 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
918 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
919 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
920 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
924 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
925 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
928 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
929 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
930 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
932 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
934 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
935 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
938 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
939 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
940 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
941 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
943 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
944 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
945 error message did not specify the attribute name
948 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
950 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
952 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
953 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
954 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
956 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
957 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
960 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
962 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
963 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
964 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
965 of fixes and formatting improvements.
967 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
969 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
970 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
971 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
972 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
975 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
976 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
979 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
980 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
981 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
982 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
984 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
985 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
986 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
987 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
988 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
990 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
991 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
992 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
993 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
994 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
995 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
997 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
998 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
999 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1000 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1001 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1002 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1005 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1007 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1008 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1009 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1010 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1012 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1013 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1016 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1020 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1021 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1023 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1024 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1025 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1026 guts. (nothingmuch).
1028 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1029 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1030 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1032 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1033 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1034 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1035 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1037 * Moose::Meta::Class
1038 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1041 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1042 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1044 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1045 * Moose::Unsweetened
1046 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1049 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1050 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1051 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1052 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1053 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1054 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1056 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1057 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1058 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1059 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1060 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1061 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1062 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1063 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1064 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1065 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1067 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1069 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1070 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1072 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1073 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1074 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1075 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1077 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1078 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1079 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1080 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1081 same methods for a single role did not work
1082 right (worked just fine with multiple
1084 - added test for this (stevan)
1086 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1087 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1088 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1091 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1092 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1093 - added test for this (t0m)
1096 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1097 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1098 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1100 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1101 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1102 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1103 - added test for this (t0m)
1105 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1106 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1107 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1108 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1109 - added test for this (perigrin)
1112 - create method for constructing a role
1113 dynamically (Sartak)
1114 - added test for this (Sartak)
1115 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1116 - added test for this (Sartak)
1119 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1121 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1122 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1123 methods is useful (Sartak)
1125 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1127 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1130 * Moose::Meta::Class
1131 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1132 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1133 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1134 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1135 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1136 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1139 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1140 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1142 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1143 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1144 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1145 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1146 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1148 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1150 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1151 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1152 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1155 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1156 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1157 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1158 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1159 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1160 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1163 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1164 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1165 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1166 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1167 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1168 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1169 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1170 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1171 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1172 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1173 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1175 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1176 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1179 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1180 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1181 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1182 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1183 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1185 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1187 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1188 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1189 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1191 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1192 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1194 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1195 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1196 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1197 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1200 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1201 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1203 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1205 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1206 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1208 * Moose::Meta::Class
1209 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1210 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1211 a required attribute
1213 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1214 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1215 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1216 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1218 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1219 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1221 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1222 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1223 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1224 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1225 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1226 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1227 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1228 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1230 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1231 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1232 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1234 * Roles and role application
1235 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1236 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1237 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1238 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1239 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1241 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1242 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1245 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1246 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1247 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1248 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1249 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1252 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1253 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1254 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1255 changes in the Moose internals.
1257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1259 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1263 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1264 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1265 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1267 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1268 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1269 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1270 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1272 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1273 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1274 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1275 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1276 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1277 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1278 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1279 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1280 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1281 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1282 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1283 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1284 constraint implementations.
1286 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1290 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1291 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1292 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1293 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1294 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1295 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1296 - added tests for this (rafl)
1298 * Moose::Meta::Class
1299 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1300 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1301 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1302 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1303 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1304 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1305 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1306 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1309 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1310 - added tests for this (thepler)
1312 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1313 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1314 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1315 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1318 * Moose::Meta::Class
1319 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1320 * Moose::Meta::Method
1323 * Moose::Error::Default
1324 * Moose::Error::Croak
1325 * Moose::Error::Confess
1326 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1327 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1328 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1329 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1330 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1331 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1333 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1335 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1336 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1338 * Moose::Unsweetened
1339 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1340 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1341 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1343 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1344 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1345 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1346 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1347 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1350 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1351 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1353 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1354 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1355 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1356 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1359 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1361 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1362 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1364 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the

1403 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1404 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1405 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1406 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1407 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1409 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1410 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

1421 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1422 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1424 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1452 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1454 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

1530 ... this is not my day today ...
1532 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1533 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1534 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1535 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1536 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1539 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1540 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1541 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1542 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1543 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1546 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1548 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1549 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1581 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1582 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1583 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1584 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1585 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1586 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1587 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1588 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1589 - added tests for this
1591 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1592 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1593 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2064 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
2066 * Moose::Meta::Class
2067 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2068 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2069 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2070 method in the first place ;)
2072 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2073 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2074 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~

2080 - this release contains a major reworking and
2081 cleanup of the role system
2082 - 100% backwards compat.
2083 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2084 classes based on type of applicants
2085 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2086 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2087 used in this process
2088 - new Composite role metaclass
2089 - runtime application of roles to instances
2090 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2091 classes when applicable
2093 * <<New Role composition features>>
2094 - methods can now be excluded from a given role

2123 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2124 - added this module to support the refactor
2125 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2127 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

2129 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2133 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2135 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2136 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2137 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2139 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2175 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2176 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2177 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2180 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2181 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2182 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2183 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2187 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2188 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2189 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2197 - added docs for this
2199 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2200 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2201 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2202 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,

2219 - added tests for this
2222 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2223 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2226 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

2262 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2265 - fixed how required methods are handled
2266 when they encounter overriden or modified
2267 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2268 - added tests for this
2270 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2271 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2272 the | always creates a union and so is
2273 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2274 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2276 - added more tests for this
2278 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2281 * Parameterized Types
2282 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2283 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2284 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2285 They can also be nested:
2286 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2287 And work with the type unions as well:
2288 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2290 * Better Framework Extendability
2291 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2292 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2293 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2294 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2297 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2298 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2299 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2300 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2303 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2305 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2306 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2309 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2365 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2366 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2368 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2369 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2370 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2371 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2438 (but not changing the handles option)
2439 - added tests and docs for this
2442 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2443 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2457 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2458 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2459 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2460 prototypes for functions
2461 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2462 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2472 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2475 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2476 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2477 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2478 - added tests for this
2480 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2482 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2504 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2506 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2507 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2508 so this release is just to fix that.
2511 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2512 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2513 (thanks to konobi for this)

2524 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2525 functions to facilitate introspection.
2527 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2528 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2529 to build the list of delegated methods
2530 correctly (and not override important
2531 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2533 - added tests and docs for this
2534 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2535 so that you can actually document your
2536 attributes and inspect them through the
2538 - added tests and docs for this
2540 * Moose::Meta::Class
2541 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2542 it will first look in for the class in the
2543 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2544 then default to just loading $name.
2545 - added tests and docs for this
2547 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2548 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2549 - added test for this
2552 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2553 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2554 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2555 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2557 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2558 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2561 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2563 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2564 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2565 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2568 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2569 !! for this developer release to work !!
2571 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2572 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2573 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2574 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2575 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2576 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2577 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2578 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2579 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2580 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2581 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2583 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2584 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2585 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2586 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2589 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2591 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2592 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2593 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2595 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2597 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2598 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2601 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2602 called unless they actually need to be.
2603 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2604 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2605 DEMOLISH method present.
2607 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2608 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2609 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2610 type constraint, which allows for a
2611 hand optimized version of the type
2612 constraint to be used when possible.
2613 - Any internally created type constraints
2614 now provide an optimized version as well.
2616 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2618 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2619 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2620 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2622 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2623 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2624 your class namespace of these exported
2627 * Moose::Meta::Class
2628 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2629 comes up during global destruction
2631 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2635 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2638 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2639 - changed how we do type checks so that
2640 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2643 - moved accessor generation methods to
2644 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2645 conform to the API changes from
2648 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2649 - changed how constraints are compiled
2650 so that we do less recursion and more
2651 iteration. This makes the type check
2653 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2656 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2657 - created this from methods formerly found in
2658 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2660 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2661 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2663 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2664 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2666 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2667 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2669 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2671 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2672 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2673 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2674 - added tests for this
2675 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2676 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2677 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2678 - removed tests for this
2680 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2682 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2683 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2684 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2687 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2688 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2689 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2691 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2692 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2693 comments for more info.
2696 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2697 asked questions and common problems
2699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2700 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2701 - added tests for this
2703 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2704 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2705 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2706 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2708 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2709 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2712 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2713 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2714 is much appreciated :)
2715 - added tests for this
2717 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2718 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2719 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2722 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2723 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2725 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2727 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2728 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2732 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2733 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2734 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2736 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2738 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2741 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2742 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2743 keywords because we need to localize them.
2744 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2746 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2747 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2748 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2751 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2754 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2755 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2756 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2759 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2760 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2761 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2763 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2765 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2766 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2767 bottom of your class file.
2770 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2773 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2775 - improved error message when loading modules so
2776 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2777 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2778 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2781 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2782 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2783 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2786 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2788 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2789 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2790 turn them on for you.
2791 - added tests for this
2792 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2793 in Moose::Meta::Class
2796 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2797 automatically turned on for you.
2798 - added tests for this
2801 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2802 - added tests for this
2803 - added some more edge case tests

2819 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2820 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2821 - This release works in combination with
2822 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2823 release because it uses the a new
2824 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2825 complete Role implementation. It has
2826 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2827 the the previous CPAN version. This
2828 release also lacks good updated docs,
2829 the official release will have updated docs.
2832 - refactored the keyword exports
2833 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2834 accepts more than one Role at a time
2835 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2836 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2839 - refactored the keyword exports
2840 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2841 accepts more than one Role at a time
2843 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2844 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2845 string enumerations which can be used as
2847 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2850 - more careful checking of params to new()
2853 - much work done on the role composition
2854 - many new tests for conflict detection
2855 and composition edge cases
2856 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2857 looking at the tests
2859 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2860 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2861 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2863 * Moose::Meta::Class
2864 - some small changes to support the new
2866 - some small additions to support Roles
2868 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2869 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2871 - some small changes to support the new
2873 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2874 with the 'handles' option
2875 - added several tests for this
2876 - no docs for this yet
2878 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2880 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2881 thanks to chansen for this commit
2882 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2883 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2884 on a per-attribute basis
2885 - added tests for this
2886 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2887 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2888 experimental feature and probably not finished
