1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
9 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
10 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
14 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
17 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class destroyed the cache,
18 causing the class to go out of scope unexpectedly. This could easily
19 happen at a distance by applying a metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave
26 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method, in
27 addition to execute, to be able to call a code attribute as a method.
32 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
33 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
34 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions Moose::before,
35 Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs, with the same
36 behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp result in an error.
39 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
43 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
47 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
48 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
50 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
51 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
52 - Moose::Util::does_role
53 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
54 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
55 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
57 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
61 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
62 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
63 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
66 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
70 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 with Visual
71 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
74 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
78 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
79 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
82 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
86 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
88 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
91 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
92 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
93 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
95 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
96 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
97 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
100 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
101 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
103 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
104 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
105 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
107 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
109 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
110 substr et al, again. (sorear)
112 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
114 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
117 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
118 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
120 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
121 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
123 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
124 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
125 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
126 dependencies installed.
128 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
129 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
132 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
134 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
138 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
140 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
141 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
142 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
144 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
145 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
146 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
148 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
149 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
152 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
153 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
154 others. (nothingmuch)
156 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
157 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
158 remove_accessors. (doy)
160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
161 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
162 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
165 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
167 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
168 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
169 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
170 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
173 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
174 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
176 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
177 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
179 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
181 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
182 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
185 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
186 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
187 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
188 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
189 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
191 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
193 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
194 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
195 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
196 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
197 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
200 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
201 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
202 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
203 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
204 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
206 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
207 which were not receiving the value of
208 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
209 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
210 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
211 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
215 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
216 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
217 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
218 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
219 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
222 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
223 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
224 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
225 - added tests for this (Stevan)
228 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
229 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
230 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
233 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
235 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
238 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
239 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
242 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
243 class if you pass it options for
244 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
245 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
246 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
247 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
248 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
249 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
250 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
251 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
252 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
254 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
255 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
256 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
257 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
258 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
261 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
263 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
264 existing delegation API. (hdp)
266 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
267 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
268 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
269 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
270 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
271 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
274 * Moose::Error::Croak
275 * Moose::Error::Confess
276 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
277 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
280 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
283 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
284 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
285 installing a broken sub. (doy)
288 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
291 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
292 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
293 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
295 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
296 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
297 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
298 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
299 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
302 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
305 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
307 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
308 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
311 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
312 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
315 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
316 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
317 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
319 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
320 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
321 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
322 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
323 using it for new code!
325 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
326 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
327 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
328 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
330 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
331 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
332 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
333 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
334 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
335 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
336 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
337 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
340 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
343 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
344 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
348 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
350 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
351 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
352 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
355 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
356 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
357 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
360 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
361 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
363 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
364 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
365 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
368 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
369 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
370 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
371 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
372 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
373 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
375 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
377 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
380 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
381 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
382 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
384 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
385 associated_methods. (hdp)
386 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
387 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
388 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
389 misspelled) arguments
391 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
392 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
393 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
394 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
396 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
397 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
398 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
400 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
403 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
404 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
405 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
408 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
409 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
411 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
413 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
414 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
416 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
417 * Moose::Manual::Types
418 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
419 string parsing rathole (mst)
421 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
422 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
423 using plain objects instead
425 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
426 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
429 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
431 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
432 three times today (perigrin)
433 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
434 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
436 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
437 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
438 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
439 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
442 - A role's required methods are now represented by
443 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
444 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
445 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
446 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
447 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
450 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
451 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
452 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
453 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
456 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
458 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
461 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
463 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
466 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
467 during global destruction. This method has been made more
468 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
472 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
473 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
476 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
477 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
479 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
480 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
481 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
484 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
486 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
487 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
490 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
494 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
495 methods during global destruction (doy)
498 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
499 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
503 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
504 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
507 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
508 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
511 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
512 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
514 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
516 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
520 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
521 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
522 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
525 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
526 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
527 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
530 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
532 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
533 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
534 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
537 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
538 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
539 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
540 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
542 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
543 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
544 of the Moose core (Sartak)
547 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
550 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
551 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
552 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
556 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
557 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
560 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
562 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
565 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
566 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
569 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
570 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
573 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
574 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
577 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
580 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
582 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
583 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
587 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
589 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
590 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
593 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
594 * More deprecations and renamings
595 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
596 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
597 when an object is constructed)
600 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
601 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
602 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
604 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
605 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
606 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
607 feature, and it works again.
610 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
612 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
614 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
615 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
616 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
618 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
619 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
620 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
621 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
622 message. Test provided by perigrin.
624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
625 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
626 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
627 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
628 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
631 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
632 metaclass object. (hdp)
634 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
635 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
636 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
637 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
638 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
639 point out this fact. (hdp)
641 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
642 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
644 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
645 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
648 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
649 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
650 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
651 called during instance construction were passed the
652 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
653 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
655 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
656 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
659 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
660 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
661 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
664 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
665 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
666 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
667 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
668 them, but they are not for "public" use.
671 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
673 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
674 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
675 when an object is constructed)
676 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
678 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
679 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
680 when an object is constructed)
681 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
682 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
683 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
686 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
688 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
689 * No changes from 0.72_01.
691 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
693 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
694 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
695 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
698 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
699 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
701 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
703 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
704 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
706 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
707 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
710 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
711 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
714 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
715 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
716 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
718 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
719 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
723 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
724 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
725 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
727 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
728 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
731 * Moose::Manual::Delta
732 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
733 with recommended workarounds.
735 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
736 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
738 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
739 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
740 (yes, spelled like that).
742 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
743 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
746 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
747 changes in latest Class::MOP.
749 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
751 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
752 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
753 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
754 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
755 instead. Reported by doy.
757 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
759 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
760 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
762 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
763 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
764 message) is now deprecated.
765 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
766 often got it wrong. For example:
768 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
770 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
774 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
775 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
776 bite you in weird cases.
778 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
779 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
780 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
783 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
784 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
788 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
791 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
792 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
795 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
796 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
798 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
799 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
802 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
803 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
804 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
805 - added tests for this (stevan)
807 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
808 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
809 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
810 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
814 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
815 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
816 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
817 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
819 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
820 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
821 - added tests for this (rafl)
823 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
824 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
825 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
826 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
830 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
831 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
834 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
835 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
836 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
838 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
840 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
841 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
844 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
845 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
846 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
847 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
849 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
850 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
851 error message did not specify the attribute name
854 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
856 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
858 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
859 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
860 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
862 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
863 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
866 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
868 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
869 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
870 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
871 of fixes and formatting improvements.
873 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
875 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
876 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
877 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
878 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
880 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
881 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
882 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
884 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
885 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
886 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
887 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
888 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
890 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
891 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
892 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
893 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
894 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
896 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
897 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
898 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
899 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
900 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
901 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
903 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
904 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
905 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
906 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
907 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
908 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
910 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
911 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
913 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
914 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
915 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
916 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
918 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
919 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
922 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
926 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
927 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
929 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
930 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
931 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
934 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
935 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
936 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
938 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
939 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
940 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
941 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
944 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
947 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
948 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
950 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
952 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
955 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
956 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
957 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
958 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
959 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
960 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
962 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
963 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
964 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
965 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
966 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
967 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
968 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
969 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
970 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
971 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
973 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
975 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
976 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
979 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
980 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
981 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
983 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
984 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
985 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
986 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
987 same methods for a single role did not work
988 right (worked just fine with multiple
990 - added test for this (stevan)
992 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
993 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
994 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
997 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
998 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
999 - added test for this (t0m)
1002 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1003 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1004 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1006 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1007 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1008 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1009 - added test for this (t0m)
1011 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1012 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1013 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1014 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1015 - added test for this (perigrin)
1018 - create method for constructing a role
1019 dynamically (Sartak)
1020 - added test for this (Sartak)
1021 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1022 - added test for this (Sartak)
1025 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1027 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1028 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1029 methods is useful (Sartak)
1031 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1032 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1033 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1036 * Moose::Meta::Class
1037 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1038 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1039 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1040 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1041 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1042 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1045 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1046 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1048 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1049 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1050 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1051 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1052 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1054 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1056 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1057 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1058 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1061 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1062 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1063 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1064 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1065 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1066 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1069 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1070 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1071 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1072 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1073 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1074 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1075 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1076 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1077 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1078 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1079 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1081 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1082 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1085 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1086 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1087 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1088 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1089 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1091 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1093 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1094 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1095 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1097 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1098 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1100 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1101 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1102 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1103 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1106 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1107 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1109 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1111 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1112 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1114 * Moose::Meta::Class
1115 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1116 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1117 a required attribute
1119 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1120 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1121 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1122 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1124 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1125 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1127 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1128 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1129 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1130 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1131 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1132 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1133 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1134 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1136 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1137 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1138 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1140 * Roles and role application
1141 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1142 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1143 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1144 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1145 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1147 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1148 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1151 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1152 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1153 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1154 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1155 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1158 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1159 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1160 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1161 changes in the Moose internals.
1163 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1165 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1168 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1169 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1170 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1171 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1173 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1174 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1175 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1176 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1178 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1179 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1180 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1181 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1182 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1183 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1184 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1185 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1186 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1187 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1188 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1189 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1190 constraint implementations.
1192 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1196 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1197 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1198 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1199 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1200 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1201 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1202 - added tests for this (rafl)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Class
1205 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1206 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1207 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1208 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1209 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1210 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1211 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1212 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1215 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1216 - added tests for this (thepler)
1218 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1219 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1220 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1221 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1224 * Moose::Meta::Class
1225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1226 * Moose::Meta::Method
1229 * Moose::Error::Default
1230 * Moose::Error::Croak
1231 * Moose::Error::Confess
1232 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1233 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1234 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1235 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1236 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1237 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1239 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1241 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1242 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1244 * Moose::Unsweetened
1245 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1246 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1247 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1249 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1250 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1251 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1252 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1253 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1256 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1257 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1259 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1260 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1261 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1262 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1265 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1267 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1268 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1270 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1273 - Various bug fixes.
1275 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1276 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1278 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1280 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1281 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1282 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1283 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1284 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1285 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1287 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1288 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1289 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1291 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1292 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1293 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1296 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1297 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1298 dependency to 0.64_07.
1300 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1301 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1302 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1304 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1305 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1308 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1309 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1310 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1311 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1312 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1313 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1315 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1316 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1318 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1320 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1321 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1325 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1326 method when that method was provided by another role being
1327 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1328 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1330 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1332 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1333 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1335 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1336 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1337 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1338 - added test for this (t0m)
1340 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1341 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1342 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1344 - added test for this (t0m)
1347 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1348 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1349 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1352 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1353 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):

1358 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1360 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1361 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1362 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

1433 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1435 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1436 ... this is not my day today ...
1438 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1439 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1440 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1441 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1442 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1445 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1446 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1447 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1448 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1449 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1452 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1454 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1455 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1457 this is not ever something you want to do
1458 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1459 - added tests for this (stevan)

1487 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1488 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1489 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1490 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1491 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1492 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1493 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1494 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1495 - added tests for this
1497 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1498 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1499 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1605 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1607 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1608 XS based functionality is now optional
1609 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1610 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1611 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1714 drink more coffee before
1715 doing release engineering
1717 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2058 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2059 - added tests for this
2061 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2063 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2064 types without having to explictly define them
2065 - added tests for this
2067 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2068 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2069 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2071 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2072 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2073 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2074 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2075 - added tests for this
2076 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2077 a single type at different times instead of
2078 having to do it all in one place
2079 - added tests for this
2081 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2082 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2083 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2086 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2087 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2088 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2089 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2091 more type coercions for Union types)
2093 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2094 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2095 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2097 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2098 - added tests for this.
2099 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2100 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2101 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2102 - added tests for this
2103 - added docs for this
2105 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2106 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2107 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2108 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2109 instead it will just return undef.
2110 - added docs for this

2124 with work correctly.
2125 - added tests for this
2128 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2129 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2132 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2133 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2134 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2136 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2168 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2171 - fixed how required methods are handled
2172 when they encounter overriden or modified
2173 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2174 - added tests for this
2176 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2177 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2178 the | always creates a union and so is
2179 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2180 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2182 - added more tests for this
2184 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2187 * Parameterized Types
2188 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2189 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2190 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2191 They can also be nested:
2192 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2193 And work with the type unions as well:
2194 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2196 * Better Framework Extendability
2197 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2198 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2199 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2200 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2203 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2204 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2205 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2206 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2209 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2211 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2212 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2215 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2243 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2245 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2246 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2247 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2248 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2250 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2251 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2252 - updated the accompanying test as well
2254 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2255 +++ with new features added as well +++
2257 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2258 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2259 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2260 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2261 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2263 - added tests for this
2265 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2266 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2267 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2268 can track where the type constraints are created
2270 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2271 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2272 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2274 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2275 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2276 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2277 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2291 (thanks to shlomif).
2293 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2294 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2295 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2296 - added tests for this

2299 - added tests for this
2301 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2302 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2333 - added tests for these
2335 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2336 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2338 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2339 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2340 to the 'handles' option.
2341 - added tests and docs for this

2344 (but not changing the handles option)
2345 - added tests and docs for this
2348 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2349 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2350 - adjusted tests for this
2352 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2353 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2354 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2360 the other side (perigrin)
2362 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2364 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2365 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2366 prototypes for functions
2367 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2368 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2378 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2381 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2382 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2383 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2384 - added tests for this
2386 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2388 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2401 where not handled correctly in roles
2402 - added tests for this
2404 * Moose::Meta::Class
2405 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2406 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2407 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2409 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2410 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2412 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2413 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2414 so this release is just to fix that.
2417 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2418 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2419 (thanks to konobi for this)
2420 - added tests and docs
2422 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2423 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2425 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2426 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2427 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2428 - added tests for this

2430 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2431 functions to facilitate introspection.
2433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2434 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2435 to build the list of delegated methods
2436 correctly (and not override important
2437 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2439 - added tests and docs for this
2440 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2441 so that you can actually document your
2442 attributes and inspect them through the
2444 - added tests and docs for this
2446 * Moose::Meta::Class
2447 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2448 it will first look in for the class in the
2449 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2450 then default to just loading $name.
2451 - added tests and docs for this
2453 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2454 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2455 - added test for this
2458 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2459 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2460 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2461 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2463 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2464 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2467 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2469 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2470 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2471 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2474 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2475 !! for this developer release to work !!
2477 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2478 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2479 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2480 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2481 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2482 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2483 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2484 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2485 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2486 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2487 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2489 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2490 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2491 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2492 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2495 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2496 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2497 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2498 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2499 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2501 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2503 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2504 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2507 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2508 called unless they actually need to be.
2509 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2510 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2511 DEMOLISH method present.
2513 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2514 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2515 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2516 type constraint, which allows for a
2517 hand optimized version of the type
2518 constraint to be used when possible.
2519 - Any internally created type constraints
2520 now provide an optimized version as well.
2522 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2524 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2525 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2526 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2528 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2529 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2530 your class namespace of these exported
2533 * Moose::Meta::Class
2534 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2535 comes up during global destruction
2537 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2541 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2544 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2545 - changed how we do type checks so that
2546 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2549 - moved accessor generation methods to
2550 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2551 conform to the API changes from
2554 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2555 - changed how constraints are compiled
2556 so that we do less recursion and more
2557 iteration. This makes the type check
2559 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2563 - created this from methods formerly found in
2564 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2566 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2567 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2569 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2570 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2572 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2573 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2575 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2577 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2578 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2579 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2580 - added tests for this
2581 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2582 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2583 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2584 - removed tests for this
2586 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2588 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2589 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2590 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2593 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2594 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2595 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2597 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2598 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2599 comments for more info.
2602 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2603 asked questions and common problems
2605 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2606 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2607 - added tests for this
2609 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2610 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2611 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2612 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2614 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2615 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2618 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2619 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2620 is much appreciated :)
2621 - added tests for this
2623 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2624 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2625 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2628 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2629 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2631 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2633 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2634 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2638 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2639 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2640 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2642 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2644 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2647 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2648 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2649 keywords because we need to localize them.
2650 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2652 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2653 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2654 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2657 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2660 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2661 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2662 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2665 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2666 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2667 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2669 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2671 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2672 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2673 bottom of your class file.
2676 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2679 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2681 - improved error message when loading modules so
2682 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2683 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2684 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2687 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2688 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2689 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2691 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2692 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2694 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2695 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2696 turn them on for you.
2697 - added tests for this
2698 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2699 in Moose::Meta::Class
2702 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2703 automatically turned on for you.
2704 - added tests for this
2707 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2708 - added tests for this
2709 - added some more edge case tests
2711 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
2712 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2714 - added prototypes to the exported subs
2718 - added prototypes to the exported subs
2721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2722 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2725 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2726 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2727 - This release works in combination with
2728 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2729 release because it uses the a new
2730 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2731 complete Role implementation. It has
2732 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2733 the the previous CPAN version. This
2734 release also lacks good updated docs,
2735 the official release will have updated docs.
2738 - refactored the keyword exports
