1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
6 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
7 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
8 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
9 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
10 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
13 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
14 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
15 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
16 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
17 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
19 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
20 which were not receiving the value of
21 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
22 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
23 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
24 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
28 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
29 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
30 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
32 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
33 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
34 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
35 - added tests for this (Stevan)
37 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
38 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
39 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
41 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
42 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
43 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
46 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
47 class if you pass it options for
48 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
49 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
50 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
51 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
52 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
53 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
54 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
55 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
56 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
59 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
60 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
61 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
62 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
63 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
66 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
67 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
68 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
69 existing delegation API. (hdp)
71 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
72 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
73 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
74 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
75 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
76 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
80 * Moose::Error::Confess
81 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
82 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
85 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
88 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
89 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
90 installing a broken sub. (doy)
93 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
94 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
96 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
97 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
98 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
99 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
100 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
102 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
103 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
106 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
108 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
109 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
112 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
113 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
115 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
116 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
117 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
118 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
120 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
121 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
122 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
123 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
124 using it for new code!
126 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
127 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
128 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
129 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
131 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
132 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
133 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
134 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
135 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
136 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
137 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
138 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
141 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
144 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
145 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
149 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
151 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
152 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
153 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
156 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
157 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
158 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
161 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
162 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
164 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
165 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
166 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
169 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
170 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
171 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
172 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
173 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
174 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
176 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
178 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
181 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
182 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
183 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
185 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
186 associated_methods. (hdp)
187 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
188 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
189 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
190 misspelled) arguments
192 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
193 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
194 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
195 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
197 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
198 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
199 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
201 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
205 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
206 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
209 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
210 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
212 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
214 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
215 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
217 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
218 * Moose::Manual::Types
219 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
220 string parsing rathole (mst)
222 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
223 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
224 using plain objects instead
226 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
227 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
230 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
232 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
233 three times today (perigrin)
234 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
235 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
237 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
238 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
239 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
240 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
243 - A role's required methods are now represented by
244 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
245 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
246 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
247 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
248 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
251 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
252 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
253 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
254 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
257 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
259 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
262 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
264 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
267 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
268 during global destruction. This method has been made more
269 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
273 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
274 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
277 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
278 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
280 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
281 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
282 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
285 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
287 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
288 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
291 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
295 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
296 methods during global destruction (doy)
299 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
300 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
304 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
305 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
308 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
309 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
312 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
313 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
315 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
317 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
321 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
322 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
323 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
326 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
327 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
328 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
331 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
333 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
334 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
335 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
338 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
339 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
340 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
341 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
343 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
344 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
345 of the Moose core (Sartak)
348 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
351 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
352 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
353 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
357 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
358 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
361 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
363 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
366 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
367 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
370 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
371 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
374 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
375 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
378 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
381 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
384 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
388 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
390 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
391 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
394 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
395 * More deprecations and renamings
396 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
397 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
398 when an object is constructed)
401 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
402 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
403 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
405 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
406 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
407 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
408 feature, and it works again.
411 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
413 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
415 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
416 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
417 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
420 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
421 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
422 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
423 message. Test provided by perigrin.
425 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
426 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
427 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
428 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
429 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
432 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
433 metaclass object. (hdp)
435 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
436 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
437 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
438 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
439 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
440 point out this fact. (hdp)
442 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
443 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
445 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
446 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
450 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
451 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
452 called during instance construction were passed the
453 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
454 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
456 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
457 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
460 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
461 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
462 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
465 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
466 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
467 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
468 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
469 them, but they are not for "public" use.
472 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
474 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
475 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
476 when an object is constructed)
477 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
479 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
480 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
481 when an object is constructed)
482 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
483 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
484 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
487 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
489 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
490 * No changes from 0.72_01.
492 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
494 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
495 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
496 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
498 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
499 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
500 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
502 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
504 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
505 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
507 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
508 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
511 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
512 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
515 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
516 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
517 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
519 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
520 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
524 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
525 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
526 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
528 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
529 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
532 * Moose::Manual::Delta
533 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
534 with recommended workarounds.
536 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
537 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
539 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
540 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
541 (yes, spelled like that).
543 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
544 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
547 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
548 changes in latest Class::MOP.
550 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
552 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
553 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
554 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
555 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
556 instead. Reported by doy.
558 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
560 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
561 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
563 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
564 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
565 message) is now deprecated.
566 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
567 often got it wrong. For example:
569 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
571 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
575 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
576 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
577 bite you in weird cases.
579 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
580 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
581 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
584 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
585 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
589 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
592 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
593 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
596 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
597 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
600 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
603 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
605 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
606 - added tests for this (stevan)
608 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
609 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
610 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
611 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
615 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
616 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
617 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
618 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
620 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
621 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
622 - added tests for this (rafl)
624 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
625 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
626 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
627 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
631 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
632 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
635 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
636 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
637 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
639 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
641 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
642 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
645 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
646 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
647 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
648 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
651 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
652 error message did not specify the attribute name
655 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
657 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
659 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
660 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
661 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
663 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
664 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
667 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
669 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
670 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
671 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
672 of fixes and formatting improvements.
674 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
676 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
677 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
678 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
679 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
681 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
682 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
683 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
685 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
686 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
687 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
688 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
689 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
691 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
692 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
693 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
694 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
695 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
698 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
699 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
700 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
701 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
702 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)

705 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
706 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
707 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
708 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
709 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
711 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
712 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
714 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
715 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
716 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
717 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
719 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
720 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
723 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
727 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
728 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
730 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
731 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
732 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
735 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
736 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
737 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
739 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
740 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
741 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
742 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
745 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
748 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
749 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
751 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
753 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
756 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
757 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
758 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
759 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
760 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
761 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
763 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
764 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
765 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
766 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
767 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
768 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
769 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
770 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
771 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
772 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
774 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
776 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
777 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
779 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
780 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
781 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
782 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
784 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
785 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
786 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
787 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
788 same methods for a single role did not work
789 right (worked just fine with multiple
791 - added test for this (stevan)
793 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
794 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
795 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
798 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
799 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
800 - added test for this (t0m)
803 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
804 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
805 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
807 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
808 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
809 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
810 - added test for this (t0m)
812 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
813 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
814 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
815 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
816 - added test for this (perigrin)
819 - create method for constructing a role
821 - added test for this (Sartak)
822 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
823 - added test for this (Sartak)
826 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
828 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
829 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
830 methods is useful (Sartak)
832 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
833 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
834 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
838 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
839 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
840 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
841 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
842 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
843 - added tests for this (jdv79)
846 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
847 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
849 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
850 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
851 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
852 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
853 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
855 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
857 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
858 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
859 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
862 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
863 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
864 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
865 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
866 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
867 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
870 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
871 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
872 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
873 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
874 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
875 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
876 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
877 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
878 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
879 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
880 future. (jnapiorkowski)
882 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
883 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
886 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
887 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
888 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
889 type. (jnapiorkowski)
890 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
892 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
894 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
895 predicate, and link to more details sections in
896 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
899 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
901 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
902 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
903 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
904 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
907 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
908 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
910 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
912 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
913 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
916 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
917 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
920 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
921 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
922 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
923 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
925 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
926 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
928 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
929 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
930 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
931 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
932 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
933 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
934 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
935 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
937 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
938 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
939 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
941 * Roles and role application
942 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
943 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
944 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
945 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
946 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
948 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
949 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
952 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
953 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
954 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
955 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
956 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
959 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
960 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
961 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
962 changes in the Moose internals.
964 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
965 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
966 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
969 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
970 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
971 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
972 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
974 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
975 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
976 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
977 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
979 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
980 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
981 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
982 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
983 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
984 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
985 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
986 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
987 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
988 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
989 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
990 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
991 constraint implementations.
993 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
997 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
998 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
999 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1000 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1001 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1002 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1003 - added tests for this (rafl)
1005 * Moose::Meta::Class
1006 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1007 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1008 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1009 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1010 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1011 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1012 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1013 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1016 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1017 - added tests for this (thepler)
1019 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1020 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1021 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1022 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1025 * Moose::Meta::Class
1026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1027 * Moose::Meta::Method
1030 * Moose::Error::Default
1031 * Moose::Error::Croak
1032 * Moose::Error::Confess
1033 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1034 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1035 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1036 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1037 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1038 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1040 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1042 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1043 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1045 * Moose::Unsweetened
1046 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1047 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1048 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1050 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1051 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1052 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1053 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1054 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1057 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1058 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1060 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1061 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1062 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1063 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1066 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1068 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1069 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1071 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1074 - Various bug fixes.
1076 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1077 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1079 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1081 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1082 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1083 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1084 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1085 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1086 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1088 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1089 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1090 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1092 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1093 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1094 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1097 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1098 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1099 dependency to 0.64_07.
1101 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1102 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1103 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1105 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1106 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1109 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1110 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1111 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1112 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1113 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1114 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1116 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1117 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1119 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1121 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1122 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1126 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1127 method when that method was provided by another role being
1128 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1129 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1131 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1133 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1134 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1136 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1137 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1138 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1139 - added test for this (t0m)
1141 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1142 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1143 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1145 - added test for this (t0m)
1148 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1149 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1150 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1153 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1154 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1156 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1158 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1159 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1161 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1162 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1163 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1165 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1166 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1169 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1170 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1171 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1172 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1176 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1177 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1178 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1181 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1182 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1183 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1184 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1187 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1191 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1192 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1193 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1195 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1197 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1198 created so that the process can be more easily
1199 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1201 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1202 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1203 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1204 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1206 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1207 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1210 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1211 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1213 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1214 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1215 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1217 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1218 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1219 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1221 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1222 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1224 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1225 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1228 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1229 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1233 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1234 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1236 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1237 ... this is not my day today ...
1239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1240 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1241 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1242 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1243 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1246 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1247 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1248 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1249 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1250 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1253 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1255 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1256 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1257 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1258 this is not ever something you want to do
1259 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1260 - added tests for this (stevan)
1263 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1265 - added test for this
1267 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1268 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1269 - added tests for this (wreis)
1271 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1272 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1273 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1274 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1276 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1277 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1278 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1281 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1283 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1285 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1288 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1289 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1290 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1291 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1292 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1293 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1294 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1295 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1296 - added tests for this
1298 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1299 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1300 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1301 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1303 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1306 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1307 - added tests for this (sartak)
1308 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1309 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1312 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1314 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1315 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1317 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1318 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1319 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1320 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1322 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1324 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1325 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1328 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1329 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1330 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1332 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1333 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1334 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1336 - added docs for this (TODO).
1337 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1338 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1339 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1340 - fix builder and default both being used
1345 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1347 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1348 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1349 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1353 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1357 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1358 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1359 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1361 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1362 - move the ClassName type check code to
1363 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1365 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11

1402 - added more descriptive error message to help
1403 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1404 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1406 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1408 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1409 XS based functionality is now optional
1410 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1411 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1412 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1414 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1415 to take care of this, mostly we added
1416 support for the package_name and name
1417 variables in all the Method metaclasses

1423 is currently not supported in roles,
1424 but, ... patches welcome
1425 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1426 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1427 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1430 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1431 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1432 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1433 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1434 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1435 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1436 - added test for this
1438 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1439 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1440 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the

1482 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1485 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1486 ->body when looping through the
1487 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1489 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1490 eating the $@ values, and so not
1491 working correctly, it still kind of
1492 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1493 - added tests for this

1515 drink more coffee before
1516 doing release engineering
1518 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1519 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1520 modules. This fixes that.

1523 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1524 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

1633 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1635 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1973 when they encounter overriden or modified
1974 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1975 - added tests for this
1977 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1978 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1979 the | always creates a union and so is
1980 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1981 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

1985 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1988 * Parameterized Types
1989 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1990 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1991 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1992 They can also be nested:
1993 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1994 And work with the type unions as well:
1995 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1997 * Better Framework Extendability
1998 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1999 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2000 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2001 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2004 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2005 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2006 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2007 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2164 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2165 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2166 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2167 prototypes for functions
2168 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2169 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2179 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2182 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2183 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2184 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2185 - added tests for this
2187 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2189 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2211 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2213 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2214 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2215 so this release is just to fix that.
2218 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2219 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2220 (thanks to konobi for this)
2221 - added tests and docs

2232 functions to facilitate introspection.
2234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2235 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2236 to build the list of delegated methods
2237 correctly (and not override important
2238 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2240 - added tests and docs for this
2241 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2242 so that you can actually document your
2243 attributes and inspect them through the
2245 - added tests and docs for this
2247 * Moose::Meta::Class
2248 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2249 it will first look in for the class in the
2250 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2251 then default to just loading $name.
2252 - added tests and docs for this
2254 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2255 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2256 - added test for this
2259 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2260 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2261 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2262 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2264 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2265 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2268 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2270 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2271 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2272 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2275 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2276 !! for this developer release to work !!
2278 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2279 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2280 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2281 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2282 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2283 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2284 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2285 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2286 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2287 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2288 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2290 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2291 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2292 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2293 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2296 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2297 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2298 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2299 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2300 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2302 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2304 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2305 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2308 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2309 called unless they actually need to be.
2310 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2311 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2312 DEMOLISH method present.
2314 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2315 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2316 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2317 type constraint, which allows for a
2318 hand optimized version of the type
2319 constraint to be used when possible.
2320 - Any internally created type constraints
2321 now provide an optimized version as well.
2323 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2325 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2326 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2327 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2329 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2330 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2331 your class namespace of these exported
2334 * Moose::Meta::Class
2335 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2336 comes up during global destruction
2338 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2342 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2345 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2346 - changed how we do type checks so that
2347 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2350 - moved accessor generation methods to
2351 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2352 conform to the API changes from
2355 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2356 - changed how constraints are compiled
2357 so that we do less recursion and more
2358 iteration. This makes the type check
2360 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2363 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2364 - created this from methods formerly found in
2365 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2367 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2368 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2370 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2371 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2373 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2374 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2376 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2378 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2379 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2380 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2381 - added tests for this
2382 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2383 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2384 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2385 - removed tests for this
2387 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2389 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2390 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2391 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2394 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2395 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2396 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2398 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2399 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2400 comments for more info.
2403 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2404 asked questions and common problems
2406 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2407 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2408 - added tests for this
2410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2411 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2412 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2413 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2415 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2416 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2419 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2420 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2421 is much appreciated :)
2422 - added tests for this
2424 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2425 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2426 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2430 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2432 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2434 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2435 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2439 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2440 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2441 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2443 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2445 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2448 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2449 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2450 keywords because we need to localize them.
2451 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2453 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2454 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2455 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2458 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2461 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2462 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2463 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2466 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2467 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2468 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2470 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2472 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2473 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2474 bottom of your class file.
2477 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2480 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2482 - improved error message when loading modules so
2483 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2484 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2485 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2488 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2489 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2490 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2493 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2495 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2496 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2497 turn them on for you.
2498 - added tests for this
2499 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2500 in Moose::Meta::Class

2527 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2528 - This release works in combination with
2529 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2530 release because it uses the a new
2531 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2532 complete Role implementation. It has
2533 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2534 the the previous CPAN version. This
2535 release also lacks good updated docs,
2536 the official release will have updated docs.
2539 - refactored the keyword exports
2540 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2541 accepts more than one Role at a time

2552 string enumerations which can be used as
2554 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2557 - more careful checking of params to new()
2560 - much work done on the role composition
2561 - many new tests for conflict detection
2562 and composition edge cases
2563 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2564 looking at the tests
2566 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2567 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2568 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2589 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2590 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2591 on a per-attribute basis
2592 - added tests for this
2593 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2594 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2595 experimental feature and probably not finished

2597 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2598 - added tests for this
