1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
9 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
11 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
15 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
16 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
20 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
22 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
26 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
28 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
32 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
33 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
35 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
39 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
41 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
45 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
47 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
48 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
50 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
54 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
55 skips every other role. (rjbs)
57 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
58 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
59 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
60 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
61 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
63 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
67 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
68 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
69 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
72 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
77 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
79 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
80 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
82 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
86 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
87 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
88 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
92 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
93 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
95 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
96 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
98 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
99 environments. (doy, mateu)
101 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
105 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
106 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
107 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
108 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
112 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
113 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
115 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
119 * Update conflicts list.
122 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
126 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
127 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
128 details. (Dave Rolsky)
130 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
131 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
132 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
133 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
134 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
138 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
139 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
140 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
141 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
142 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
145 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
149 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
150 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
152 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
155 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
159 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
160 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
161 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
162 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
164 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
165 immutable classes). (mo)
167 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
168 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
169 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
171 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
175 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
177 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
179 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
183 * Fix some indexing issues.
185 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
187 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
191 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
192 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
193 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
194 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
195 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
197 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
198 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
203 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
204 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
205 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
206 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
208 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
209 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
210 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
214 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
215 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
218 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
222 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
223 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
227 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
231 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
232 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
233 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
234 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
237 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
241 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
244 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
248 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
249 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
250 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
253 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
257 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
258 policy. (Chris Prather)
260 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
261 on this new support policy. (doy)
265 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
266 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
267 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
269 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
270 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
272 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
276 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
277 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
278 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
279 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
282 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
286 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
287 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
290 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
294 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
295 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
297 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
298 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
302 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
303 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
304 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
305 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
306 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
307 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
309 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
310 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
312 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
313 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
314 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
315 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
317 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
318 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
320 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
325 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
326 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
328 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
332 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
333 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
334 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
336 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
340 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
341 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
342 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
344 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
345 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
348 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
349 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
352 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
353 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
354 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
356 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
357 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
362 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
363 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
364 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
365 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
367 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
368 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
370 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
371 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
373 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
374 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
375 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
376 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
378 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
379 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
380 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
383 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
384 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
385 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
386 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
388 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
389 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
392 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
393 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
394 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
396 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
400 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
401 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
402 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
404 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
405 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
406 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
409 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
410 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
411 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
413 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
414 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
415 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
417 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
418 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
422 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
423 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
424 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
426 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
427 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
428 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
429 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
431 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
435 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
436 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
437 value is a reference.
439 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
440 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
442 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
446 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
447 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
448 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
450 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
454 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
455 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
459 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
460 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
461 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
463 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
464 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
465 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
467 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
471 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
473 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
477 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
479 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
480 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
485 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
486 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
488 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
489 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
490 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
491 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
492 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
494 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
495 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
496 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
497 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
499 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
503 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
504 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
509 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
511 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
513 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
518 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
520 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
524 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
525 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
526 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
528 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
529 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
530 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
531 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
533 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
534 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
535 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
536 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
537 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
540 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
545 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
546 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
547 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
548 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
549 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
552 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
556 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
559 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
560 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
564 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
565 function (not just method). (doy)
569 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
570 and aren't easily installable/testable.
572 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
576 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
577 to be overridden more easily (doy).
579 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
583 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
584 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
586 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
590 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
591 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
592 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
594 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
598 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
599 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
600 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
602 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
603 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
607 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
608 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
610 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
611 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
615 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
616 is applied to a class (t0m).
618 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
619 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
621 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
624 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
625 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
627 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
628 be much more robust. (doy)
630 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
632 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
635 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
639 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
640 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
642 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
646 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
647 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
649 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
652 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
653 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
654 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
656 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
657 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
658 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
661 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
663 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
667 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
668 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
672 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
674 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
678 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
679 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
683 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
684 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
688 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
690 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
694 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
695 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
699 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
700 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
704 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
705 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
707 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
711 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
712 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
713 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
716 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
720 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
721 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
722 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
723 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
725 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
729 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
730 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
731 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
735 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
738 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
742 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
743 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
744 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
748 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
749 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
751 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
752 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
753 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
754 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
756 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
760 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
764 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
765 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
767 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
768 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
769 - Moose::Util::does_role
770 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
771 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
772 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
774 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
778 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
779 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
780 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
783 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
787 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
788 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
791 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
795 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
796 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
799 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
803 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
805 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
806 class. (Dave Rolsky).
808 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
809 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
810 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
812 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
813 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
814 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
817 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
818 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
820 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
821 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
822 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
824 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
826 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
827 substr et al, again. (sorear)
829 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
831 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
834 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
835 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
837 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
838 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
840 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
841 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
842 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
843 dependencies installed.
845 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
846 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
849 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
851 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
855 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
857 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
858 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
859 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
862 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
863 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
865 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
866 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
869 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
870 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
871 others. (nothingmuch)
873 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
874 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
875 remove_accessors. (doy)
877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
878 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
879 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
882 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
884 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
885 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
886 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
887 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
890 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
891 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
893 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
894 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
896 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
898 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
899 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
902 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
903 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
904 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
905 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
906 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
908 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
909 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
910 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
911 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
912 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
913 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
914 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
917 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
918 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
919 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
920 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
921 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
923 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
924 which were not receiving the value of
925 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
926 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
927 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
928 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
932 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
933 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
934 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
935 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
936 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
939 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
940 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
941 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
942 - added tests for this (Stevan)
945 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
946 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
947 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
950 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
951 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
952 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
955 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
956 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
959 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
960 class if you pass it options for
961 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
962 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
963 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
964 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
965 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
966 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
967 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
968 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
969 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
971 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
972 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
973 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
974 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
975 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
978 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
979 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
980 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
981 existing delegation API. (hdp)
983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
984 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
985 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
986 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
987 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
988 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
991 * Moose::Error::Croak
992 * Moose::Error::Confess
993 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
994 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
997 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1000 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1001 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1002 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1004 * Moose::Meta::Class
1005 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1008 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1009 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1010 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1012 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1013 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1014 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1015 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1016 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1018 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1019 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1022 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1024 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1025 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1028 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1029 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1031 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1032 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1033 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1034 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1036 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1037 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1038 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1039 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1040 using it for new code!
1042 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1043 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1044 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1045 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1047 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1048 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1049 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1050 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1051 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1052 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1053 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1054 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1057 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1060 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1061 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1064 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1065 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1067 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1068 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1069 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1071 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1072 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1073 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1074 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1076 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1077 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1078 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1080 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1081 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1082 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1085 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1086 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1087 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1088 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1089 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1090 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1092 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1094 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1097 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1098 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1099 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1101 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1102 associated_methods. (hdp)
1103 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1104 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1105 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1106 misspelled) arguments
1108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1109 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1110 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1111 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1113 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1114 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1115 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1117 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1120 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1121 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1122 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1125 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1126 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1128 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1129 * Moose::Meta::Class
1130 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1131 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1133 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1134 * Moose::Manual::Types
1135 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1136 string parsing rathole (mst)
1138 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1139 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1140 using plain objects instead
1142 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1143 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1144 that's what we need.
1146 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1147 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1148 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1149 three times today (perigrin)
1150 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1151 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1153 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1154 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1155 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1156 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1159 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1160 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1161 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1162 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1163 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1164 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1167 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1168 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1169 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1170 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1173 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1175 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1178 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1180 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1183 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1184 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1185 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1189 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1190 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1193 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1194 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1196 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1197 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1198 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1200 * Moose::Unsweetened
1201 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1203 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1204 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1207 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1211 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1212 methods during global destruction (doy)
1214 * Moose::Meta::Class
1215 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1216 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1217 consumption (Sartak)
1219 * Moose::Meta::Class
1220 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1221 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1224 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1225 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1228 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1229 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1231 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1233 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1237 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1238 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1239 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1242 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1243 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1244 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1247 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1249 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1250 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1251 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1254 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1255 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1256 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1257 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1259 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1260 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1261 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1264 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1267 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1268 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1269 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1273 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1274 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1276 * Moose::Meta::Class
1277 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1279 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1281 * Moose::Meta::Class
1282 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1283 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1286 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1287 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1290 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1291 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1294 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1297 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1300 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1303 * Moose::Meta::Class
1304 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1306 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1307 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1310 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1311 * More deprecations and renamings
1312 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1313 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1314 when an object is constructed)
1317 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1318 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1319 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1321 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1322 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1323 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1324 feature, and it works again.
1327 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1329 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1331 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1332 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1333 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1335 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1336 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1337 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1338 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1339 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1341 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1342 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1343 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1344 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1345 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1348 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1349 metaclass object. (hdp)
1351 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1352 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1353 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1354 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1355 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1356 point out this fact. (hdp)
1358 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1359 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1361 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1362 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1364 * Moose::Meta::Class
1365 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1366 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1367 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1368 called during instance construction were passed the
1369 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1370 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1372 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1373 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1376 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1377 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1378 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1381 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1382 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1383 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1384 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1385 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1387 - Moose::Meta::Class
1388 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1390 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1391 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1392 when an object is constructed)
1393 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1395 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1396 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1397 when an object is constructed)
1398 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1399 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1400 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1403 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1405 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1406 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1408 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1410 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1411 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1412 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1414 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1415 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1416 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1418 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1420 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1421 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1423 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1424 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1427 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1428 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1431 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1432 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1433 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1435 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1436 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1440 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1441 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1442 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1445 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1448 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1449 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1450 with recommended workarounds.
1452 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1453 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1455 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1456 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1457 (yes, spelled like that).
1459 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1460 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1462 * Moose::Meta::Class
1463 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1464 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1466 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1468 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1469 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1470 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1471 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1472 instead. Reported by doy.
1474 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1476 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1477 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1479 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1480 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1481 message) is now deprecated.
1482 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1483 often got it wrong. For example:
1485 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1487 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1491 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1492 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1493 bite you in weird cases.
1495 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1496 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1497 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1498 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1500 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1501 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1505 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1508 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1509 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1512 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1513 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1515 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1516 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1519 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1520 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1521 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1522 - added tests for this (stevan)
1524 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1525 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1526 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1527 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1531 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1532 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1533 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1534 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1536 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1537 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1538 - added tests for this (rafl)
1540 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1541 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1542 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1543 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1547 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1548 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1551 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1552 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1553 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1555 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1557 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1558 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1560 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1561 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1562 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1563 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1564 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1566 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1567 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1568 error message did not specify the attribute name
1571 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1573 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1575 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1576 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1577 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1579 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1580 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1583 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1585 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1586 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1587 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1588 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1590 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1592 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1593 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1594 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1595 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1597 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1598 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1599 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1601 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1602 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1603 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1604 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1605 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1607 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1608 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1609 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1610 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1611 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1614 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1615 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1616 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1617 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1618 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1620 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1621 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1622 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1623 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1624 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1625 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1627 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1628 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1630 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1631 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1632 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1633 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1636 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1639 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1643 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1644 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1646 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1647 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1648 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1649 guts. (nothingmuch).
1651 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1652 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1653 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1655 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1656 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1657 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1658 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1660 * Moose::Meta::Class
1661 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1664 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1665 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1667 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1668 * Moose::Unsweetened
1669 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1672 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1673 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1674 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1675 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1676 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1677 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1679 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1680 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1681 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1682 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1683 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1684 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1685 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1686 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1687 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1688 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1690 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1692 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1693 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1695 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1696 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1697 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1698 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1700 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1701 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1702 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1703 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1704 same methods for a single role did not work
1705 right (worked just fine with multiple
1707 - added test for this (stevan)
1709 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1710 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1711 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1714 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1715 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1716 - added test for this (t0m)
1719 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1720 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1721 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1723 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1724 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1725 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1726 - added test for this (t0m)
1728 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1729 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1730 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1731 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1732 - added test for this (perigrin)
1735 - create method for constructing a role
1736 dynamically (Sartak)
1737 - added test for this (Sartak)
1738 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1739 - added test for this (Sartak)
1742 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1744 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1745 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1746 methods is useful (Sartak)
1748 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1749 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1750 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1753 * Moose::Meta::Class
1754 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1755 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1756 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1757 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1758 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1759 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1762 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1763 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1765 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1766 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1767 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1768 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1769 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1771 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1773 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1774 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1775 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1778 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1779 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1780 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1781 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1782 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1783 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1786 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1787 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1788 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1789 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1790 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1791 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1792 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1793 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1794 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1795 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1796 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1799 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1802 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1803 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1804 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1805 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1806 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1808 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1810 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1811 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1812 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1815 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1817 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1818 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1819 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1820 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1823 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1824 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1826 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1828 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1829 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1831 * Moose::Meta::Class
1832 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1833 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1834 a required attribute
1836 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1837 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1838 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1839 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1841 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1842 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1844 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1845 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1846 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1847 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1848 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1849 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1850 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1851 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1853 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1854 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1855 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1857 * Roles and role application
1858 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1859 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1860 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1861 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1862 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1864 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1865 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1868 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1869 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1870 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1871 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1872 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1875 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1876 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1877 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1878 changes in the Moose internals.
1880 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1882 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1885 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1886 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1887 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1888 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1890 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1891 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1892 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1893 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1896 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1897 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1898 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1899 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1900 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1901 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1902 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1903 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1904 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1905 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1906 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1907 constraint implementations.
1909 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1913 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1914 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1915 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1916 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1917 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1918 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1919 - added tests for this (rafl)
1921 * Moose::Meta::Class
1922 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1923 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1924 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1925 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1926 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1927 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1928 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1929 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1932 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1933 - added tests for this (thepler)
1935 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1936 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1937 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1938 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1941 * Moose::Meta::Class
1942 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1943 * Moose::Meta::Method
1946 * Moose::Error::Default
1947 * Moose::Error::Croak
1948 * Moose::Error::Confess
1949 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1950 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1951 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1952 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1953 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1954 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1956 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1958 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1959 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1961 * Moose::Unsweetened
1962 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1963 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1964 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1966 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1967 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1968 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1969 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1970 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1973 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1974 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1976 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1977 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1978 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1979 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1982 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1984 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1985 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1987 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1990 - Various bug fixes.
1992 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1993 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1995 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1997 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1998 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1999 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2000 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2001 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2002 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2004 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2005 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2006 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2008 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2009 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2010 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2013 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2014 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2015 dependency to 0.64_07.
2017 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2018 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2019 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2021 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2022 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2025 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2026 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2027 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2028 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2029 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2030 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2032 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2033 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2035 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2037 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2038 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2042 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2043 method when that method was provided by another role being
2044 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2045 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2047 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2049 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2050 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2052 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2053 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2054 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2055 - added test for this (t0m)
2057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2059 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2061 - added test for this (t0m)
2064 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"

2152 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2153 ... this is not my day today ...
2155 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2156 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2157 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2158 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2159 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2162 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2163 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2164 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2165 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2166 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2169 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2171 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2172 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2204 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2205 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2206 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2207 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2208 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2209 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2210 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2211 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2212 - added tests for this
2214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2215 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2216 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2325 XS based functionality is now optional
2326 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2327 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2328 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2431 drink more coffee before
2432 doing release engineering
2434 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2756 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2758 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2759 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2760 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2762 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2763 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)
2765 * Moose::Meta::Class
2767 - several tweaks to take advantage of the
2768 new method map caching in Class::MOP
2770 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

2774 - basic support for coercion to ArrayRef and
2775 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2776 - added tests for this
2778 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2779 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2780 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2781 types without having to explictly define them
2782 - added tests for this
2784 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2785 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2786 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2788 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2789 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2790 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2791 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2792 - added tests for this
2793 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2794 a single type at different times instead of
2795 having to do it all in one place
2796 - added tests for this
2798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2799 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2800 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2803 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2804 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2805 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2806 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2807 new features above (although you cannot add
2808 more type coercions for Union types)
2810 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2811 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2812 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2813 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2814 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2815 - added tests for this.
2816 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2817 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2818 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2819 - added tests for this
2820 - added docs for this
2822 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2823 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2824 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2825 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2826 instead it will just return undef.
2827 - added docs for this
2829 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2841 with work correctly.
2842 - added tests for this
2845 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2846 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2849 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2850 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2851 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2853 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2854 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2884 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2885 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2888 - fixed how required methods are handled
2889 when they encounter overriden or modified
2890 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2891 - added tests for this
2893 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2894 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2895 the | always creates a union and so is
2896 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2897 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2899 - added more tests for this
2901 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2904 * Parameterized Types
2905 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2906 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2907 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2908 They can also be nested:
2909 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2910 And work with the type unions as well:
2911 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2913 * Better Framework Extendability
2914 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2915 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2916 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2917 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2920 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2921 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2922 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2923 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2926 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2928 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2929 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2932 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
2933 set it to inline the accessors
2934 - fix import to allow Sub::Exporter like { into => }

2959 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2960 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2962 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2963 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2964 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2965 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2967 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2968 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2969 - updated the accompanying test as well
2971 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2972 +++ with new features added as well +++
2974 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2975 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2976 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2977 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2978 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2980 - added tests for this
2982 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2983 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2984 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2985 can track where the type constraints are created
2987 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2988 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2989 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2991 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2992 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2993 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2994 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3008 (thanks to shlomif).
3010 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3011 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3012 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3013 - added tests for this
3014 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
3016 - added tests for this
3018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3019 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3020 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3021 - type-constraint tests now handle overloaded objects correctly

3050 - added tests for these
3052 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3053 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3056 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3057 to the 'handles' option.
3058 - added tests and docs for this
3059 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
3060 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
3061 (but not changing the handles option)
3062 - added tests and docs for this
3065 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3066 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3067 - adjusted tests for this
3069 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3070 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3071 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3077 the other side (perigrin)
3079 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3080 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3081 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3082 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3083 prototypes for functions
3084 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3085 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3086 - added tests and docs for this

3093 merlyn for finding this bug
3094 - tests added for this
3095 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3098 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3099 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3100 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3101 - added tests for this
3103 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3105 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3106 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

3118 where not handled correctly in roles
3119 - added tests for this
3121 * Moose::Meta::Class
3122 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3123 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3124 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3126 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3127 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3129 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3130 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3131 so this release is just to fix that.
3134 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3135 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3136 (thanks to konobi for this)
3137 - added tests and docs
3139 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3140 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3142 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3143 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3144 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3145 - added tests for this
3146 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3147 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3148 functions to facilitate introspection.
3150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3151 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3152 to build the list of delegated methods
3153 correctly (and not override important
3154 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3156 - added tests and docs for this
3157 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3158 so that you can actually document your
3159 attributes and inspect them through the
3161 - added tests and docs for this
3163 * Moose::Meta::Class
3164 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3165 it will first look in for the class in the
3166 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3167 then default to just loading $name.
3168 - added tests and docs for this
3170 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3171 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3172 - added test for this
3175 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3176 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3177 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3178 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3180 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3181 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3184 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3186 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3187 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3188 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3191 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3192 !! for this developer release to work !!
3194 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3195 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3196 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3197 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3198 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3199 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3200 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3201 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3202 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3203 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3204 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3206 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3207 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3208 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3209 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3212 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3213 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3214 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3215 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3216 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3218 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3220 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3221 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3224 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3225 called unless they actually need to be.
3226 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3227 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3228 DEMOLISH method present.
3230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3231 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3232 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3233 type constraint, which allows for a
3234 hand optimized version of the type
3235 constraint to be used when possible.
3236 - Any internally created type constraints
3237 now provide an optimized version as well.
3239 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3241 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3242 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3243 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3245 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3246 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3247 your class namespace of these exported
3250 * Moose::Meta::Class
3251 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3252 comes up during global destruction
3254 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3258 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3262 - changed how we do type checks so that
3263 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3266 - moved accessor generation methods to
3267 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3268 conform to the API changes from
3271 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3272 - changed how constraints are compiled
3273 so that we do less recursion and more
3274 iteration. This makes the type check
3276 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3279 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3280 - created this from methods formerly found in
3281 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3283 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3284 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3286 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3287 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3289 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3290 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3292 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3294 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3295 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3296 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3297 - added tests for this
3298 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3299 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3300 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3301 - removed tests for this
3303 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3305 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3306 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3307 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3310 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3311 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3312 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3314 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3315 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3316 comments for more info.
3319 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3320 asked questions and common problems
3322 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3323 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3324 - added tests for this
3326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3327 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3328 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3329 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3331 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3332 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3335 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3336 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3337 is much appreciated :)
3338 - added tests for this
3340 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3341 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3342 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3345 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3346 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3348 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3350 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3351 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3355 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3356 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3357 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3359 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3361 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3364 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3365 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3366 keywords because we need to localize them.
3367 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3369 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3370 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3371 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3374 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3377 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3378 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3379 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3382 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3383 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3384 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3386 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3388 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3389 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3390 bottom of your class file.
3393 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3396 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3398 - improved error message when loading modules so
3399 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3400 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3401 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3404 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3405 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3406 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3408 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3409 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3411 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3412 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3413 turn them on for you.
3414 - added tests for this
3415 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3416 in Moose::Meta::Class
3419 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3420 automatically turned on for you.
3421 - added tests for this
3424 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3425 - added tests for this
3426 - added some more edge case tests

3438 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3439 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3442 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3443 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3444 - This release works in combination with
3445 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3446 release because it uses the a new
3447 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3448 complete Role implementation. It has
3449 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3450 the the previous CPAN version. This
3451 release also lacks good updated docs,
3452 the official release will have updated docs.
3455 - refactored the keyword exports
3456 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3457 accepts more than one Role at a time
3458 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3459 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3462 - refactored the keyword exports
3463 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3464 accepts more than one Role at a time
3466 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3467 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3468 string enumerations which can be used as
3470 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3473 - more careful checking of params to new()
3476 - much work done on the role composition
3477 - many new tests for conflict detection
3478 and composition edge cases
3479 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3480 looking at the tests
3482 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3483 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3484 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3486 * Moose::Meta::Class
3487 - some small changes to support the new
3489 - some small additions to support Roles
3491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3492 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3494 - some small changes to support the new
3496 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3497 with the 'handles' option
3498 - added several tests for this
3499 - no docs for this yet

3503 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3504 thanks to chansen for this commit
3505 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3506 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3507 on a per-attribute basis
3508 - added tests for this
3509 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3510 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3511 experimental feature and probably not finished
