1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
9 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
11 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
12 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
13 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
15 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
16 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
17 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
19 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
20 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
23 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
24 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
27 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
28 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
29 remove_accessors. (doy)
31 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
32 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
33 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
35 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
36 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
38 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
39 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
40 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
41 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
44 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
45 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
47 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
48 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
50 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
52 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
53 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
56 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
57 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
58 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
59 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
60 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
62 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
63 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
64 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
65 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
66 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
67 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
68 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
71 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
72 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
73 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
74 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
75 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
77 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
78 which were not receiving the value of
79 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
80 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
81 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
82 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
86 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
87 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
88 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
89 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
90 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
93 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
94 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
95 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
96 - added tests for this (Stevan)
99 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
100 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
101 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
104 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
105 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
106 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
108 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
109 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
110 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
113 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
114 class if you pass it options for
115 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
116 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
117 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
118 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
119 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
120 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
121 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
122 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
123 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
125 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
126 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
127 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
128 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
129 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
132 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
133 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
134 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
135 existing delegation API. (hdp)
137 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
138 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
139 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
140 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
141 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
142 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
145 * Moose::Error::Croak
146 * Moose::Error::Confess
147 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
148 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
151 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
154 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
155 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
156 installing a broken sub. (doy)
159 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
162 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
163 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
164 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
166 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
167 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
168 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
169 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
170 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
172 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
173 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
176 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
178 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
179 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
182 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
183 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
185 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
186 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
187 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
188 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
191 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
192 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
193 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
194 using it for new code!
196 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
197 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
198 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
199 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
201 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
202 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
203 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
204 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
205 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
206 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
207 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
208 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
211 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
214 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
215 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
218 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
219 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
221 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
222 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
223 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
227 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
228 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
231 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
232 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
235 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
236 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
239 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
240 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
241 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
242 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
243 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
244 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
246 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
248 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
251 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
252 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
253 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
255 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
256 associated_methods. (hdp)
257 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
258 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
259 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
260 misspelled) arguments
262 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
263 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
264 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
265 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
267 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
268 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
269 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
271 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
274 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
275 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
276 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
279 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
280 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
282 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
284 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
285 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
287 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
288 * Moose::Manual::Types
289 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
290 string parsing rathole (mst)
292 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
293 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
294 using plain objects instead
296 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
297 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
300 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
302 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
303 three times today (perigrin)
304 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
305 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
308 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
309 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
310 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
313 - A role's required methods are now represented by
314 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
315 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
316 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
317 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
318 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
321 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
322 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
323 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
324 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
327 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
329 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
332 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
334 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
337 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
338 during global destruction. This method has been made more
339 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
343 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
344 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
347 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
348 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
350 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
351 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
352 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
355 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
357 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
358 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
361 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
365 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
366 methods during global destruction (doy)
369 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
370 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
374 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
375 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
378 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
379 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
382 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
383 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
385 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
387 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
391 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
392 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
393 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
396 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
397 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
398 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
401 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
403 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
404 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
405 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
408 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
409 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
410 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
411 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
413 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
414 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
415 of the Moose core (Sartak)
418 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
421 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
422 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
423 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
427 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
428 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
431 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
433 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
436 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
437 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
440 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
441 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
444 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
445 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
448 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
451 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
453 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
454 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
458 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
460 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
461 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
464 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
465 * More deprecations and renamings
466 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
467 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
468 when an object is constructed)
471 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
472 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
473 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
475 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
476 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
477 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
478 feature, and it works again.
481 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
483 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
485 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
486 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
487 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
489 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
490 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
491 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
492 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
493 message. Test provided by perigrin.
495 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
496 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
497 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
498 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
499 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
502 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
503 metaclass object. (hdp)
505 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
506 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
507 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
508 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
509 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
510 point out this fact. (hdp)
512 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
513 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
515 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
516 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
519 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
520 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
521 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
522 called during instance construction were passed the
523 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
524 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
526 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
527 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
530 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
531 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
532 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
535 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
536 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
537 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
538 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
539 them, but they are not for "public" use.
542 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
544 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
545 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
546 when an object is constructed)
547 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
549 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
550 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
551 when an object is constructed)
552 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
553 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
554 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
557 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
559 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
560 * No changes from 0.72_01.
562 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
564 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
565 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
566 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
568 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
569 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
570 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
572 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
574 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
575 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
577 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
578 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
581 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
582 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
585 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
586 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
587 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
589 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
590 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
594 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
595 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
596 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
598 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
599 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
602 * Moose::Manual::Delta
603 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
604 with recommended workarounds.
606 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
607 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
609 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
610 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
611 (yes, spelled like that).
613 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
614 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
617 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
618 changes in latest Class::MOP.
620 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
622 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
623 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
624 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
625 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
626 instead. Reported by doy.
628 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
630 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
631 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
633 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
634 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
635 message) is now deprecated.
636 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
637 often got it wrong. For example:
639 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
641 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
645 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
646 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
647 bite you in weird cases.
649 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
650 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
651 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
654 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
655 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
659 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
662 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
663 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
666 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
667 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
669 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
670 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
673 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
674 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
675 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
676 - added tests for this (stevan)
678 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
679 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
680 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
681 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
685 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
686 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
687 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
688 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
690 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
691 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
692 - added tests for this (rafl)
694 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
695 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
696 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
697 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
701 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
702 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
705 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
706 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
707 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
709 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
711 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
712 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
715 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
716 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
717 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
718 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
720 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
721 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
722 error message did not specify the attribute name
725 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
727 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
729 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
730 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
731 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
733 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
734 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
737 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
739 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
740 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
741 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
742 of fixes and formatting improvements.
744 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
746 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
747 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
748 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
749 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
751 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
752 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
753 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
755 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
756 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
757 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
758 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
759 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
761 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
762 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
763 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
764 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
765 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
767 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
768 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
769 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
770 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
771 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
772 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
774 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
775 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
776 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
777 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
778 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
779 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
781 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
782 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
784 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
785 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
786 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
787 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
789 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
790 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
793 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
797 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
798 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
800 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
801 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
802 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
805 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
806 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
807 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
809 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
810 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
811 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
812 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
815 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
818 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
819 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
821 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
823 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
826 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
827 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
828 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
829 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
830 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
831 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
833 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
834 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
835 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
836 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
837 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
838 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
839 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
840 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
841 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
842 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
844 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
846 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
847 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
850 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
851 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
852 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
854 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
855 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
856 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
857 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
858 same methods for a single role did not work
859 right (worked just fine with multiple
861 - added test for this (stevan)
863 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
864 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
865 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
868 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
869 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
870 - added test for this (t0m)
873 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
874 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
875 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
878 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
879 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
880 - added test for this (t0m)
882 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
883 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
884 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
885 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
886 - added test for this (perigrin)
889 - create method for constructing a role
891 - added test for this (Sartak)
892 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
893 - added test for this (Sartak)
896 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
898 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
899 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
900 methods is useful (Sartak)
902 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
904 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
908 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
909 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
910 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
911 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
912 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
913 - added tests for this (jdv79)
916 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
917 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
919 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
920 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
921 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
922 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
923 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
925 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
927 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
928 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
929 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
932 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
933 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
934 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
935 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
936 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
937 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
940 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
941 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
942 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
943 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
944 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
945 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
946 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
947 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
948 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
949 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
950 future. (jnapiorkowski)
952 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
953 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
956 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
957 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
958 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
959 type. (jnapiorkowski)
960 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
962 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
964 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
965 predicate, and link to more details sections in
966 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
968 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
969 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
971 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
972 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
973 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
974 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
977 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
978 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
980 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
982 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
983 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
986 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
987 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
990 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
991 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
992 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
993 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
995 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
996 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
999 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1000 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1001 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1002 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1003 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1004 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1005 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1007 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1008 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1009 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1011 * Roles and role application
1012 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1013 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1014 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1015 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1016 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1018 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1019 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1022 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1023 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1024 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1025 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1026 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1029 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1030 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1031 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1032 changes in the Moose internals.
1034 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1036 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1039 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1040 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1041 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1042 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1044 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1045 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1046 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1047 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1049 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1050 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1051 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1052 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1053 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1054 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1055 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1056 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1057 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1058 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1059 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1060 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1061 constraint implementations.
1063 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1067 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1068 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1069 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1070 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1071 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1072 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1073 - added tests for this (rafl)
1075 * Moose::Meta::Class
1076 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1077 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1078 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1079 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1080 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1081 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1082 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1083 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1086 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1087 - added tests for this (thepler)
1089 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1090 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1091 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1092 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1095 * Moose::Meta::Class
1096 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1097 * Moose::Meta::Method
1100 * Moose::Error::Default
1101 * Moose::Error::Croak
1102 * Moose::Error::Confess
1103 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1104 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1105 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1106 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1107 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1108 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1110 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1112 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1113 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1115 * Moose::Unsweetened
1116 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1117 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1118 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1120 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1121 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1122 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1123 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1124 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1127 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1128 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1130 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1131 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1132 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1133 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1136 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1138 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1139 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1141 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1144 - Various bug fixes.
1146 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1147 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1149 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1151 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1152 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1153 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1154 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1155 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1156 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1158 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1159 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1160 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1162 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1163 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1164 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1167 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1168 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1169 dependency to 0.64_07.
1171 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1172 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1173 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1175 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1176 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1179 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1180 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1181 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1182 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1183 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1184 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1186 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1187 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1189 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1191 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1192 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1196 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1197 method when that method was provided by another role being
1198 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1199 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1201 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1203 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1204 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1206 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1207 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1208 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1209 - added test for this (t0m)
1211 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1212 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1213 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1215 - added test for this (t0m)
1218 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1219 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1220 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1223 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1224 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1226 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1228 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1229 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1231 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1232 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1233 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1235 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1236 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1239 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1240 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1241 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1242 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1246 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1247 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1248 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1251 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1252 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1253 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1254 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1257 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1261 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1262 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1263 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1265 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1266 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1267 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1268 created so that the process can be more easily
1269 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1271 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1272 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1273 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1274 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1276 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1277 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1280 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1281 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1283 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1284 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1285 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1287 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1288 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1289 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1291 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1292 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1294 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1295 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1298 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1299 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1303 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1304 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1306 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1307 ... this is not my day today ...
1309 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1310 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1311 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1312 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1313 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1316 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1317 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1318 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1319 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1320 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1323 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1325 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1326 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1327 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1328 this is not ever something you want to do
1329 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1330 - added tests for this (stevan)
1333 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1335 - added test for this
1337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1338 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1339 - added tests for this (wreis)
1341 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1342 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1343 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1344 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1346 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1347 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1348 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1351 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1353 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1355 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1358 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1359 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1360 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1361 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1362 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1363 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1364 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1365 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1366 - added tests for this
1368 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1369 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1370 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1371 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1585 drink more coffee before
1586 doing release engineering
1588 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1703 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1705 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2039 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2042 - fixed how required methods are handled
2043 when they encounter overriden or modified
2044 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2045 - added tests for this
2047 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2048 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2049 the | always creates a union and so is
2050 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2051 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2053 - added more tests for this
2055 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2058 * Parameterized Types
2059 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2060 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2061 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2062 They can also be nested:
2063 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2064 And work with the type unions as well:
2065 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2067 * Better Framework Extendability
2068 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2069 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2070 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2071 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2074 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2075 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2076 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2077 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2080 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2082 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2083 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2132 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2134 - added tests for this
2136 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2142 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2143 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2145 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2162 (thanks to shlomif).
2164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2165 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2166 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2215 (but not changing the handles option)
2216 - added tests and docs for this
2219 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2220 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2231 the other side (perigrin)
2233 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2234 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2235 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2236 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2237 prototypes for functions
2238 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2239 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2249 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2252 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2253 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2254 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2255 - added tests for this
2257 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2259 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2280 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2281 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2283 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2284 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2285 so this release is just to fix that.
2288 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2289 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2290 (thanks to konobi for this)
2291 - added tests and docs
2293 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2296 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2297 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2298 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2299 - added tests for this

2301 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2302 functions to facilitate introspection.
2304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2305 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2306 to build the list of delegated methods
2307 correctly (and not override important
2308 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2310 - added tests and docs for this
2311 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2312 so that you can actually document your
2313 attributes and inspect them through the
2315 - added tests and docs for this
2317 * Moose::Meta::Class
2318 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2319 it will first look in for the class in the
2320 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2321 then default to just loading $name.
2322 - added tests and docs for this
2324 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2325 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2326 - added test for this
2329 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2330 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2331 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2332 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2334 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2335 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2338 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2340 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2341 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2342 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2345 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2346 !! for this developer release to work !!
2348 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2349 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2350 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2351 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2352 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2353 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2354 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2355 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2356 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2357 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2358 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2360 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2361 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2362 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2363 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2366 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2368 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2369 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2370 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2372 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2374 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2375 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2378 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2379 called unless they actually need to be.
2380 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2381 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2382 DEMOLISH method present.
2384 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2385 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2386 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2387 type constraint, which allows for a
2388 hand optimized version of the type
2389 constraint to be used when possible.
2390 - Any internally created type constraints
2391 now provide an optimized version as well.
2393 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2395 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2396 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2397 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2399 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2400 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2401 your class namespace of these exported
2404 * Moose::Meta::Class
2405 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2406 comes up during global destruction
2408 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2412 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2416 - changed how we do type checks so that
2417 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2420 - moved accessor generation methods to
2421 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2422 conform to the API changes from
2425 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2426 - changed how constraints are compiled
2427 so that we do less recursion and more
2428 iteration. This makes the type check
2430 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2433 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2434 - created this from methods formerly found in
2435 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2437 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2438 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2441 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2443 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2444 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2446 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2448 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2449 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2450 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2451 - added tests for this
2452 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2453 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2454 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2455 - removed tests for this
2457 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2459 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2460 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2461 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2464 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2465 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2466 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2468 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2469 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2470 comments for more info.
2473 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2474 asked questions and common problems
2476 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2477 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2478 - added tests for this
2480 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2481 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2482 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2483 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2485 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2486 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2489 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2490 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2491 is much appreciated :)
2492 - added tests for this
2494 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2495 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2496 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2499 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2500 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2502 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2504 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2505 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2509 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2510 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2511 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2513 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2515 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2518 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2519 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2520 keywords because we need to localize them.
2521 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2523 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2524 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2525 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2528 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2531 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2532 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2533 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2536 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2537 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2538 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2540 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2542 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2543 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2544 bottom of your class file.
2547 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2550 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2552 - improved error message when loading modules so
2553 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2554 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2555 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2558 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2559 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2560 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2562 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2563 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2565 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2566 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2567 turn them on for you.
2568 - added tests for this
2569 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2570 in Moose::Meta::Class

2597 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2598 - This release works in combination with
2599 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2600 release because it uses the a new
2601 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2602 complete Role implementation. It has
2603 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2604 the the previous CPAN version. This
2605 release also lacks good updated docs,
2606 the official release will have updated docs.
2609 - refactored the keyword exports
2610 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2611 accepts more than one Role at a time

2613 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2616 - refactored the keyword exports
2617 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2618 accepts more than one Role at a time
2620 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2622 string enumerations which can be used as
2624 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2627 - more careful checking of params to new()
2630 - much work done on the role composition
2631 - many new tests for conflict detection
2632 and composition edge cases
2633 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2634 looking at the tests
2636 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2637 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2638 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2650 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2651 with the 'handles' option
2652 - added several tests for this
2653 - no docs for this yet
2655 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2657 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2658 thanks to chansen for this commit
2659 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2660 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2661 on a per-attribute basis
2662 - added tests for this
2663 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2664 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2665 experimental feature and probably not finished
2666 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2667 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2668 - added tests for this
2671 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2683 construct_instance (for the better)
2685 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2686 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2687 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)

2729 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2730 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2732 - added test for this
2735 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
2736 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
2737 - added test for this
