1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
9 immutable classes). (mo)
11 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
15 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
17 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
19 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
23 * Fix some indexing issues.
25 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
27 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
31 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
32 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
33 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
34 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
35 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
37 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
38 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
43 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
44 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
45 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
46 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
48 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
49 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
50 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
54 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
55 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
57 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
61 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
62 policy. (Chris Prather)
64 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
65 on this new support policy. (doy)
69 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
70 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
71 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
73 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
74 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
76 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
80 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
81 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
82 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
83 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
90 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
91 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
94 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
98 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
99 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
101 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
102 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
106 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
107 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
108 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
109 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
110 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
111 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
113 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
114 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
116 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
117 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
118 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
119 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
121 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
122 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
124 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
129 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
130 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
132 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
136 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
137 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
138 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
140 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
144 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
145 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
146 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
148 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
149 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
152 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
153 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
156 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
157 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
158 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
160 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
161 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
166 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
167 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
168 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
169 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
171 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
172 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
174 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
175 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
177 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
178 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
179 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
180 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
182 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
183 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
184 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
187 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
188 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
189 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
190 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
192 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
193 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
196 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
197 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
198 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
200 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
204 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
205 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
206 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
208 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
209 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
210 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
213 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
214 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
215 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
217 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
218 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
219 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
221 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
222 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
226 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
227 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
228 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
230 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
231 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
232 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
233 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
235 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
239 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
240 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
241 value is a reference.
243 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
244 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
246 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
250 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
251 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
252 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
254 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
258 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
259 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
263 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
264 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
265 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
267 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
268 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
269 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
271 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
275 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
277 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
281 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
283 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
284 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
289 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
290 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
292 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
293 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
294 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
295 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
296 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
298 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
299 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
300 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
301 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
303 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
307 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
308 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
313 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
315 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
317 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
322 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
324 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
328 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
329 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
330 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
332 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
333 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
334 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
335 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
337 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
338 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
339 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
340 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
341 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
344 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
349 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
350 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
351 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
352 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
353 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
356 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
360 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
363 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
364 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
368 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
369 function (not just method). (doy)
373 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
374 and aren't easily installable/testable.
376 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
380 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
381 to be overridden more easily (doy).
383 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
387 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
388 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
390 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
394 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
395 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
396 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
398 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
402 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
403 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
404 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
406 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
407 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
411 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
412 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
414 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
415 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
419 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
420 is applied to a class (t0m).
422 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
423 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
425 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
428 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
429 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
431 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
432 be much more robust. (doy)
434 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
436 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
439 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
443 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
444 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
446 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
450 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
451 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
453 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
456 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
457 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
458 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
460 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
461 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
462 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
465 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
467 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
471 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
472 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
476 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
478 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
482 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
483 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
487 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
488 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
492 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
494 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
498 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
499 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
503 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
504 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
508 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
509 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
511 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
515 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
516 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
517 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
520 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
524 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
525 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
526 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
527 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
529 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
533 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
534 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
535 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
539 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
542 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
546 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
547 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
548 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
552 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
553 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
555 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
556 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
557 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
558 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
560 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
564 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
568 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
569 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
571 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
572 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
573 - Moose::Util::does_role
574 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
575 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
576 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
578 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
582 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
583 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
584 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
587 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
591 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
592 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
595 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
599 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
600 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
603 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
607 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
609 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
610 class. (Dave Rolsky).
612 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
613 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
614 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
616 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
617 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
618 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
621 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
622 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
624 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
625 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
626 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
628 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
630 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
631 substr et al, again. (sorear)
633 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
635 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
638 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
639 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
641 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
642 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
644 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
645 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
646 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
647 dependencies installed.
649 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
650 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
653 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
655 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
659 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
661 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
662 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
663 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
665 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
666 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
667 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
669 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
670 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
673 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
674 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
675 others. (nothingmuch)
677 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
678 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
679 remove_accessors. (doy)
681 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
682 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
683 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
685 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
686 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
688 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
689 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
690 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
691 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
694 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
695 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
697 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
698 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
700 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
702 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
703 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
706 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
707 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
708 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
709 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
710 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
712 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
713 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
714 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
715 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
716 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
717 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
718 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
721 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
722 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
723 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
724 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
725 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
727 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
728 which were not receiving the value of
729 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
730 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
731 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
732 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
736 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
737 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
738 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
739 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
740 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
743 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
744 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
745 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
746 - added tests for this (Stevan)
749 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
750 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
751 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
754 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
755 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
756 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
758 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
759 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
760 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
763 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
764 class if you pass it options for
765 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
766 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
767 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
768 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
769 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
770 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
771 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
772 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
773 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
775 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
776 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
777 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
778 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
779 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
782 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
783 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
784 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
785 existing delegation API. (hdp)
787 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
788 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
789 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
790 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
791 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
792 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
795 * Moose::Error::Croak
796 * Moose::Error::Confess
797 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
798 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
801 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
804 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
805 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
806 installing a broken sub. (doy)
809 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
812 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
813 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
814 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
816 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
817 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
818 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
819 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
820 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
822 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
823 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
826 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
828 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
829 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
832 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
833 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
835 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
837 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
838 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
840 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
841 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
842 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
843 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
844 using it for new code!
846 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
847 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
848 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
849 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
851 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
852 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
853 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
854 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
855 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
856 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
857 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
858 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
861 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
864 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
865 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
868 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
869 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
871 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
872 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
873 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
876 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
877 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
878 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
881 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
882 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
884 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
885 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
886 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
889 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
890 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
891 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
892 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
893 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
894 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
896 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
898 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
901 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
902 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
903 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
905 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
906 associated_methods. (hdp)
907 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
908 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
909 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
910 misspelled) arguments
912 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
913 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
914 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
915 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
917 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
918 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
919 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
921 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
924 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
925 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
926 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
929 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
930 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
932 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
934 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
935 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
937 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
938 * Moose::Manual::Types
939 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
940 string parsing rathole (mst)
942 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
943 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
944 using plain objects instead
946 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
947 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
950 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
952 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
953 three times today (perigrin)
954 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
955 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
957 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
958 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
959 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
960 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
963 - A role's required methods are now represented by
964 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
965 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
966 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
967 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
968 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
971 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
972 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
973 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
974 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
977 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
979 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
982 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
984 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
987 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
988 during global destruction. This method has been made more
989 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
993 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
994 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
997 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
998 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1000 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1001 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1002 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1004 * Moose::Unsweetened
1005 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1007 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1008 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1011 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1015 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1016 methods during global destruction (doy)
1018 * Moose::Meta::Class
1019 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1020 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1021 consumption (Sartak)
1023 * Moose::Meta::Class
1024 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1025 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1028 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1029 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1032 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1033 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1035 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1037 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1041 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1042 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1043 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1046 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1047 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1048 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1051 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1053 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1054 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1055 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1058 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1059 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1060 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1061 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1063 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1064 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1065 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1068 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1071 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1072 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1073 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1077 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1078 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1080 * Moose::Meta::Class
1081 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1083 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1085 * Moose::Meta::Class
1086 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1087 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1090 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1091 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1094 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1095 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1098 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1101 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1103 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1104 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1107 * Moose::Meta::Class
1108 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1110 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1111 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1114 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1115 * More deprecations and renamings
1116 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1117 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1118 when an object is constructed)
1121 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1122 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1123 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1126 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1127 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1128 feature, and it works again.
1131 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1133 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1135 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1136 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1137 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1139 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1140 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1141 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1142 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1143 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1145 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1146 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1147 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1148 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1149 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1152 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1153 metaclass object. (hdp)
1155 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1156 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1157 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1158 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1159 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1160 point out this fact. (hdp)
1162 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1163 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1165 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1166 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1168 * Moose::Meta::Class
1169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1170 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1171 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1172 called during instance construction were passed the
1173 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1174 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1176 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1177 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1180 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1181 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1182 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1185 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1186 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1187 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1188 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1189 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1191 - Moose::Meta::Class
1192 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1194 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1195 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1196 when an object is constructed)
1197 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1199 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1200 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1201 when an object is constructed)
1202 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1203 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1204 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1207 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1209 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1210 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1212 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1214 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1215 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1216 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1218 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1219 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1220 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1222 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1224 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1225 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1227 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1228 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1231 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1232 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1235 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1236 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1237 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1240 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1244 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1245 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1246 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1248 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1249 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1252 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1253 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1254 with recommended workarounds.
1256 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1257 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1259 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1260 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1261 (yes, spelled like that).
1263 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1264 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1266 * Moose::Meta::Class
1267 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1268 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1270 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1273 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1274 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1275 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1276 instead. Reported by doy.
1278 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1280 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1281 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1283 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1284 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1285 message) is now deprecated.
1286 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1287 often got it wrong. For example:
1289 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1291 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1295 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1296 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1297 bite you in weird cases.
1299 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1300 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1301 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1302 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1304 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1305 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1309 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1312 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1313 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1316 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1317 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1319 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1320 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1323 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1324 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1325 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1326 - added tests for this (stevan)
1328 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1329 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1330 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1331 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1335 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1336 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1337 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1338 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1340 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1341 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1342 - added tests for this (rafl)
1344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1345 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1346 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1347 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1351 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1352 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1355 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1356 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1357 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1359 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1361 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1362 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1364 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1365 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1366 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1367 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1368 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1370 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1371 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1372 error message did not specify the attribute name
1375 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1377 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1379 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1380 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1381 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1384 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1387 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1389 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1390 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1391 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1392 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1394 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1396 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1397 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1398 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1399 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1401 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1402 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1403 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1405 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1406 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1407 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1408 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1409 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1411 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1412 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1413 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1414 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1415 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1418 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1419 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1420 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1421 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1422 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1424 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1425 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1426 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1427 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1428 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1429 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1431 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1432 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1434 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1435 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1436 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1437 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1439 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1440 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1443 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1447 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1448 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1450 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1451 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1452 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1453 guts. (nothingmuch).
1455 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1456 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1457 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1460 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1461 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1462 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1464 * Moose::Meta::Class
1465 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1468 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1469 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1471 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1472 * Moose::Unsweetened
1473 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1476 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1477 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1478 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1479 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1480 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1481 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1483 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1484 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1485 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1486 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1487 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1488 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1489 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1490 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1491 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1492 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1494 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1496 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1497 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1500 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1501 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1502 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1504 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1505 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1506 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1507 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1508 same methods for a single role did not work
1509 right (worked just fine with multiple
1511 - added test for this (stevan)
1513 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1514 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1515 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1518 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1519 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1520 - added test for this (t0m)
1523 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1524 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1525 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1527 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1528 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1529 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1530 - added test for this (t0m)
1532 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1533 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1534 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1535 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1536 - added test for this (perigrin)
1539 - create method for constructing a role
1540 dynamically (Sartak)
1541 - added test for this (Sartak)
1542 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1543 - added test for this (Sartak)
1546 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1548 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1549 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1550 methods is useful (Sartak)
1552 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1553 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1554 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1557 * Moose::Meta::Class
1558 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1559 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1560 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1561 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1562 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1563 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1566 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1567 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1569 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1570 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1571 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1572 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1573 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1575 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1577 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1578 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1579 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1582 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1583 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1584 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1585 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1586 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1587 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1590 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1591 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1592 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1593 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1594 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1595 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1596 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1597 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1598 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1599 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1600 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1602 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1603 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1606 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1607 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1608 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1609 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1610 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1612 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1614 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1615 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1616 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1618 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1619 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1621 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1622 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1623 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1624 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1627 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1628 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1630 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1632 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1633 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1635 * Moose::Meta::Class
1636 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1637 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1638 a required attribute
1640 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1641 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1642 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1643 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1645 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1646 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1648 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1649 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1650 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1651 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1652 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1653 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1654 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1655 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1657 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1658 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1659 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1661 * Roles and role application
1662 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1663 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1664 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1665 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1666 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1668 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1669 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1672 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1673 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1674 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1675 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1676 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1679 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1680 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1681 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1682 changes in the Moose internals.
1684 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1685 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1686 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1689 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1690 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1691 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1692 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1694 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1695 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1696 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1697 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1700 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1701 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1702 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1703 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1704 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1705 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1706 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1707 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1708 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1709 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1710 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1711 constraint implementations.
1713 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1717 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1718 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1719 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1720 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1721 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1722 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1723 - added tests for this (rafl)
1725 * Moose::Meta::Class
1726 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1727 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1728 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1729 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1730 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1731 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1732 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1733 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1736 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1737 - added tests for this (thepler)
1739 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1740 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1741 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1742 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1745 * Moose::Meta::Class
1746 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1747 * Moose::Meta::Method
1750 * Moose::Error::Default
1751 * Moose::Error::Croak
1752 * Moose::Error::Confess
1753 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1754 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1755 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1756 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1757 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1758 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1760 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1762 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1763 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1765 * Moose::Unsweetened
1766 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1767 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1768 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1770 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1771 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1772 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1773 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1774 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1777 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1778 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1780 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1781 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1782 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1783 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1786 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1788 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1789 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1791 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1794 - Various bug fixes.
1796 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1797 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1799 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1801 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1802 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1803 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1804 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1805 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1806 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1808 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1809 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1810 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1812 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1813 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1814 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1817 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1818 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1819 dependency to 0.64_07.
1821 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1822 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1823 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1825 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1826 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1829 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1830 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1831 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1832 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1833 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1834 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1836 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1837 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1839 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1841 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1842 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1846 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1847 method when that method was provided by another role being
1848 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1849 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1851 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1853 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1854 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1856 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1857 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1858 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1859 - added test for this (t0m)
1861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1862 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1863 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1865 - added test for this (t0m)
1868 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1869 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1870 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1873 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1874 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1876 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1878 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1879 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1881 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1882 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1883 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1885 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1886 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1889 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1890 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1891 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1892 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1896 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1897 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1898 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1901 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1902 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1903 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1904 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1907 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1911 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1912 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1913 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1915 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1916 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1917 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1918 created so that the process can be more easily
1919 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1921 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1922 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1923 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1924 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1926 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1927 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1930 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1931 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1933 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1934 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1935 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1937 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1938 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1939 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1941 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1942 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1944 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1945 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1948 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1949 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1953 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1954 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1956 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1957 ... this is not my day today ...
1959 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1960 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1961 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1962 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1963 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1966 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1967 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1968 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1969 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1970 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1973 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1975 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1976 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1977 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1978 this is not ever something you want to do
1979 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1980 - added tests for this (stevan)
1983 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1985 - added test for this
1987 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1988 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1989 - added tests for this (wreis)
1991 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1992 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1993 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1994 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1996 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1997 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1998 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2001 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2003 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2005 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2008 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2009 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2010 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2011 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2012 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2013 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2014 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2015 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2016 - added tests for this
2018 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2019 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2020 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2021 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2023 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2025 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2026 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2027 - added tests for this (sartak)
2028 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2029 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2032 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2034 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2035 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2037 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2038 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2039 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2040 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2042 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2044 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

2129 XS based functionality is now optional
2130 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2131 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2132 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2202 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2205 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2206 ->body when looping through the
2207 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2209 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2210 eating the $@ values, and so not
2211 working correctly, it still kind of
2212 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2213 - added tests for this

2235 drink more coffee before
2236 doing release engineering
2238 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2353 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2355 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2356 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2399 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2400 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2562 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2563 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

2626 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2627 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2646 - added tests for this
2649 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2650 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2689 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2692 - fixed how required methods are handled
2693 when they encounter overriden or modified
2694 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2695 - added tests for this
2697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2698 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2699 the | always creates a union and so is
2700 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2701 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2703 - added more tests for this
2705 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2708 * Parameterized Types
2709 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2710 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2711 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2712 They can also be nested:
2713 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2714 And work with the type unions as well:
2715 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2717 * Better Framework Extendability
2718 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2719 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2720 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2721 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2724 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2725 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2726 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2727 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2886 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2887 prototypes for functions
2888 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2889 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2899 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2902 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2903 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2904 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2905 - added tests for this
2907 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2909 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2931 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2933 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2934 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2935 so this release is just to fix that.
2938 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2939 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2940 (thanks to konobi for this)

2952 functions to facilitate introspection.
2954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2955 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2956 to build the list of delegated methods
2957 correctly (and not override important
2958 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2960 - added tests and docs for this
2961 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2962 so that you can actually document your
2963 attributes and inspect them through the
2965 - added tests and docs for this
2967 * Moose::Meta::Class
2968 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2969 it will first look in for the class in the
2970 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2971 then default to just loading $name.
2972 - added tests and docs for this
2974 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2975 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2976 - added test for this
2979 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2980 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2981 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2982 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2984 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2985 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2988 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2990 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2991 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2992 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2995 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2996 !! for this developer release to work !!
2998 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2999 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3000 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3001 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3002 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3003 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3004 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3005 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3006 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3007 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3008 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3010 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3011 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3012 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3013 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3016 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3017 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3018 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3019 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3020 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3022 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3024 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3025 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3028 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3029 called unless they actually need to be.
3030 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3031 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3032 DEMOLISH method present.
3034 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3035 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3036 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3037 type constraint, which allows for a
3038 hand optimized version of the type
3039 constraint to be used when possible.
3040 - Any internally created type constraints
3041 now provide an optimized version as well.
3043 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3045 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3046 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3047 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3049 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3050 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3051 your class namespace of these exported
3054 * Moose::Meta::Class
3055 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3056 comes up during global destruction
3058 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3062 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3065 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3066 - changed how we do type checks so that
3067 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3070 - moved accessor generation methods to
3071 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3072 conform to the API changes from
3075 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3076 - changed how constraints are compiled
3077 so that we do less recursion and more
3078 iteration. This makes the type check
3080 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3083 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3084 - created this from methods formerly found in
3085 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3087 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3088 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3090 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3091 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3093 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3094 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3096 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3098 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3099 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3100 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3101 - added tests for this
3102 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3103 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3104 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3105 - removed tests for this
3107 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3109 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3110 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3111 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3114 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3115 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3116 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3118 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3119 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3120 comments for more info.
3123 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3124 asked questions and common problems
3126 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3127 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3128 - added tests for this
3130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3131 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3132 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3133 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3135 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3136 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3139 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3140 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3141 is much appreciated :)
3142 - added tests for this
3144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3145 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3146 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3149 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3150 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3152 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3154 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3155 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3159 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3160 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3161 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3163 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3165 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3168 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3169 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3170 keywords because we need to localize them.
3171 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3173 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3174 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3175 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3178 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3182 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3183 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3186 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3187 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3188 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3190 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3192 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3193 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3194 bottom of your class file.
3197 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3200 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3202 - improved error message when loading modules so
3203 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3204 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3205 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3208 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3209 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3210 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3213 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3215 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3216 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3217 turn them on for you.
3218 - added tests for this

3247 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3248 - This release works in combination with
3249 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3250 release because it uses the a new
3251 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3252 complete Role implementation. It has
3253 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3254 the the previous CPAN version. This
3255 release also lacks good updated docs,
3256 the official release will have updated docs.
3259 - refactored the keyword exports
3260 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3261 accepts more than one Role at a time

3280 - much work done on the role composition
3281 - many new tests for conflict detection
3282 and composition edge cases
3283 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3284 looking at the tests

3309 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3310 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3311 on a per-attribute basis
3312 - added tests for this
3313 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3314 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3315 experimental feature and probably not finished

3317 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3318 - added tests for this
