1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
9 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
11 2.0101 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
15 * Various packaging issues.
17 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
21 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
22 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
27 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
28 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
29 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
33 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
34 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
35 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
37 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
41 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
43 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
47 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
48 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
50 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
54 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
56 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
60 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
62 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
63 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
65 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
69 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
70 skips every other role. (rjbs)
72 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
73 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
74 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
75 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
76 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
78 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
82 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
83 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
84 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
87 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
92 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
94 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
95 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
97 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
101 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
102 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
103 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
107 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
108 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
110 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
111 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
113 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
114 environments. (doy, mateu)
116 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
120 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
121 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
122 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
123 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
127 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
128 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
130 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
134 * Update conflicts list.
137 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
141 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
142 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
143 details. (Dave Rolsky)
145 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
146 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
147 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
148 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
149 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
153 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
154 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
155 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
156 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
157 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
160 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
164 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
165 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
167 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
170 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
174 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
175 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
176 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
177 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
179 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
180 immutable classes). (mo)
182 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
183 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
184 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
186 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
190 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
192 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
194 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
198 * Fix some indexing issues.
200 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
202 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
206 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
207 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
208 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
209 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
210 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
212 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
213 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
218 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
219 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
220 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
221 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
223 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
224 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
225 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
229 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
230 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
233 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
237 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
238 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
242 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
246 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
247 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
248 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
249 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
252 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
256 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
259 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
263 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
264 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
265 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
268 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
272 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
273 policy. (Chris Prather)
275 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
276 on this new support policy. (doy)
280 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
281 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
282 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
284 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
285 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
287 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
291 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
292 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
293 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
294 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
297 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
301 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
302 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
305 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
309 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
310 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
312 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
313 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
317 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
318 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
319 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
320 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
321 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
322 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
324 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
325 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
327 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
328 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
329 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
330 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
332 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
333 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
335 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
340 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
341 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
343 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
347 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
348 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
349 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
351 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
355 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
356 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
357 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
359 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
360 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
363 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
364 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
367 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
368 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
369 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
371 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
372 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
377 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
378 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
379 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
380 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
382 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
383 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
385 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
386 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
388 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
389 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
390 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
391 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
393 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
394 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
395 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
398 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
399 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
400 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
401 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
403 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
404 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
407 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
408 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
409 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
411 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
415 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
416 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
417 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
419 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
420 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
421 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
424 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
425 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
426 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
428 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
429 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
430 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
432 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
433 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
437 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
438 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
439 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
441 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
442 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
443 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
444 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
446 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
450 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
451 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
452 value is a reference.
454 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
455 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
457 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
461 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
462 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
463 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
465 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
469 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
470 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
474 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
475 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
476 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
478 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
479 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
480 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
482 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
486 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
488 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
492 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
494 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
495 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
500 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
501 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
503 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
504 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
505 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
506 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
507 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
509 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
510 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
511 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
512 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
514 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
518 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
519 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
524 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
526 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
528 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
533 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
535 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
539 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
540 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
541 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
543 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
544 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
545 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
546 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
548 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
549 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
550 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
551 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
552 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
555 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
560 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
561 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
562 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
563 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
564 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
567 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
571 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
574 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
575 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
579 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
580 function (not just method). (doy)
584 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
585 and aren't easily installable/testable.
587 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
591 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
592 to be overridden more easily (doy).
594 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
598 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
599 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
601 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
605 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
606 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
607 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
609 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
613 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
614 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
615 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
617 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
618 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
622 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
623 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
625 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
626 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
630 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
631 is applied to a class (t0m).
633 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
634 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
636 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
639 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
640 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
642 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
643 be much more robust. (doy)
645 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
647 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
650 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
654 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
655 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
657 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
661 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
662 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
664 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
667 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
668 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
669 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
671 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
672 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
673 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
676 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
678 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
682 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
683 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
687 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
689 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
693 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
694 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
698 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
699 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
703 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
705 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
709 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
710 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
714 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
715 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
719 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
720 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
722 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
726 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
727 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
728 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
731 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
735 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
736 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
737 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
738 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
740 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
744 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
745 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
746 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
750 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
753 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
757 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
758 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
759 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
763 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
764 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
766 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
767 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
768 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
769 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
771 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
775 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
779 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
780 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
782 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
783 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
784 - Moose::Util::does_role
785 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
786 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
787 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
789 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
793 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
794 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
795 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
798 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
802 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
803 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
806 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
810 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
811 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
814 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
818 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
820 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
821 class. (Dave Rolsky).
823 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
824 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
825 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
827 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
828 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
829 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
832 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
833 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
835 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
836 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
837 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
839 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
841 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
842 substr et al, again. (sorear)
844 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
846 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
849 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
850 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
852 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
853 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
855 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
856 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
857 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
858 dependencies installed.
860 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
861 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
864 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
866 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
870 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
872 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
873 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
874 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
876 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
877 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
878 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
880 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
881 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
884 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
885 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
886 others. (nothingmuch)
888 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
889 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
890 remove_accessors. (doy)
892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
893 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
894 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
896 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
897 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
899 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
900 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
901 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
902 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
905 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
906 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
909 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
911 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
913 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
914 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
917 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
918 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
919 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
920 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
921 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
923 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
924 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
925 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
926 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
927 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
928 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
929 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
932 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
933 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
934 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
935 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
936 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
938 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
939 which were not receiving the value of
940 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
941 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
942 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
943 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
947 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
948 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
949 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
950 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
951 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
954 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
955 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
956 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
957 - added tests for this (Stevan)
960 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
961 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
962 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
965 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
966 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
967 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
969 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
970 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
971 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
974 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
975 class if you pass it options for
976 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
977 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
978 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
979 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
980 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
981 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
982 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
983 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
984 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
986 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
987 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
988 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
989 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
990 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
993 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
995 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
996 existing delegation API. (hdp)
998 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
999 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1000 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1001 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1002 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1003 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1006 * Moose::Error::Croak
1007 * Moose::Error::Confess
1008 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1009 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1012 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1015 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1016 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1017 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1019 * Moose::Meta::Class
1020 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1023 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1024 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1025 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1027 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1028 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1029 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1030 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1031 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1033 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1034 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1037 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1039 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1040 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1043 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1044 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1046 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1047 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1048 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1049 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1051 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1052 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1053 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1054 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1055 using it for new code!
1057 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1058 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1059 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1060 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1062 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1063 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1064 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1065 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1066 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1067 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1068 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1069 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1072 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1075 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1076 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1079 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1080 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1082 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1083 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1084 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1086 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1087 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1088 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1089 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1091 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1092 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1093 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1095 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1096 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1097 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1100 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1101 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1102 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1103 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1104 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1105 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1107 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1109 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1112 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1113 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1114 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1116 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1117 associated_methods. (hdp)
1118 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1119 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1120 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1121 misspelled) arguments
1123 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1124 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1125 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1126 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1128 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1129 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1130 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1132 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1136 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1137 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1140 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1141 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1143 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1144 * Moose::Meta::Class
1145 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1146 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1148 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1149 * Moose::Manual::Types
1150 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1151 string parsing rathole (mst)
1153 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1154 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1155 using plain objects instead
1157 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1158 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1159 that's what we need.
1161 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1162 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1163 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1164 three times today (perigrin)
1165 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1166 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1168 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1169 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1170 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1171 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1174 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1175 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1176 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1177 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1178 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1179 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1182 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1183 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1184 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1185 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1188 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1190 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1193 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1195 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1198 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1199 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1200 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1204 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1205 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1208 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1209 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1211 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1212 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1213 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1215 * Moose::Unsweetened
1216 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1218 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1219 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1222 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1226 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1227 methods during global destruction (doy)
1229 * Moose::Meta::Class
1230 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1231 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1232 consumption (Sartak)
1234 * Moose::Meta::Class
1235 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1236 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1239 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1240 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1243 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1244 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1246 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1248 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1252 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1253 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1254 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1257 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1258 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1259 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1262 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1264 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1265 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1266 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1269 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1270 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1271 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1272 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1274 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1275 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1276 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1279 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1282 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1283 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1284 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1288 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1289 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1291 * Moose::Meta::Class
1292 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1294 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1296 * Moose::Meta::Class
1297 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1298 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1301 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1302 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1305 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1306 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1309 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1312 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1314 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1315 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1318 * Moose::Meta::Class
1319 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1321 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1322 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1325 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1326 * More deprecations and renamings
1327 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1328 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1329 when an object is constructed)
1332 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1333 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1334 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1336 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1337 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1338 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1339 feature, and it works again.
1342 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1344 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1346 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1347 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1348 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1350 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1351 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1352 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1353 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1354 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1356 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1357 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1358 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1359 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1360 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1363 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1364 metaclass object. (hdp)
1366 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1367 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1368 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1369 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1370 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1371 point out this fact. (hdp)
1373 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1374 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1376 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1377 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1379 * Moose::Meta::Class
1380 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1381 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1382 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1383 called during instance construction were passed the
1384 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1385 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1387 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1388 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1391 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1392 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1393 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1396 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1397 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1398 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1399 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1400 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1402 - Moose::Meta::Class
1403 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1405 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1406 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1407 when an object is constructed)
1408 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1410 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1411 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1412 when an object is constructed)
1413 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1414 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1415 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1418 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1420 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1421 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1423 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1425 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1426 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1427 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1429 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1430 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1431 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1433 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1435 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1436 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1438 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1439 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1442 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1443 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1446 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1447 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1448 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1450 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1451 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1455 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1456 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1457 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1459 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1460 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1463 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1464 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1465 with recommended workarounds.
1467 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1468 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1470 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1471 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1472 (yes, spelled like that).
1474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1475 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1477 * Moose::Meta::Class
1478 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1479 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1481 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1483 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1484 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1485 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1486 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1487 instead. Reported by doy.
1489 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1491 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1492 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1494 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1495 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1496 message) is now deprecated.
1497 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1498 often got it wrong. For example:
1500 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1502 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1506 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1507 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1508 bite you in weird cases.
1510 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1511 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1512 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1513 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1515 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1516 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1520 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1523 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1524 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1527 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1528 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1530 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1531 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1534 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1535 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1536 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1537 - added tests for this (stevan)
1539 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1540 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1541 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1542 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1546 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1547 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1548 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1549 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1551 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1552 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1553 - added tests for this (rafl)
1555 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1556 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1557 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1558 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1562 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1563 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1566 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1567 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1568 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1570 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1572 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1573 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1575 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1576 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1577 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1578 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1579 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1581 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1582 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1583 error message did not specify the attribute name
1586 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1588 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1590 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1591 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1592 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1595 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1598 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1600 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1601 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1602 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1603 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1605 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1607 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1608 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1609 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1610 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1612 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1613 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1614 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1617 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1618 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1619 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1620 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1622 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1623 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1624 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1625 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1626 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1628 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1629 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1630 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1631 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1632 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1633 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1635 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1636 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1637 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1638 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1639 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1640 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1642 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1643 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1645 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1646 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1647 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1648 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1650 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1651 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1654 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1658 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1659 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1661 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1662 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1663 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1664 guts. (nothingmuch).
1666 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1667 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1668 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1670 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1671 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1672 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1673 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1675 * Moose::Meta::Class
1676 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1679 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1680 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1682 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1683 * Moose::Unsweetened
1684 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1687 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1688 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1689 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1690 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1691 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1692 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1694 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1695 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1696 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1697 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1698 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1699 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1700 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1701 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1702 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1703 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1705 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1707 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1708 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1710 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1711 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1712 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1713 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1715 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1716 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1717 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1718 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1719 same methods for a single role did not work
1720 right (worked just fine with multiple
1722 - added test for this (stevan)
1724 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1725 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1726 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1729 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1730 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1731 - added test for this (t0m)
1734 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1735 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1736 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1738 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1739 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1740 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1741 - added test for this (t0m)
1743 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1744 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1745 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1746 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1747 - added test for this (perigrin)
1750 - create method for constructing a role
1751 dynamically (Sartak)
1752 - added test for this (Sartak)
1753 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1754 - added test for this (Sartak)
1757 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1759 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1760 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1761 methods is useful (Sartak)
1763 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1764 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1765 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1768 * Moose::Meta::Class
1769 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1770 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1771 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1772 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1773 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1774 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1777 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1778 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1780 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1781 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1782 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1783 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1784 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1786 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1788 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1789 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1790 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1793 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1794 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1795 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1796 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1797 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1798 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1801 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1802 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1803 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1804 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1805 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1806 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1807 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1808 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1809 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1810 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1811 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1813 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1814 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1817 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1818 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1819 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1820 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1821 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1823 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1825 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1826 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1827 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1829 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1830 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1832 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1833 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1834 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1835 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1838 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1839 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1841 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1843 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1844 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1846 * Moose::Meta::Class
1847 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1848 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1849 a required attribute
1851 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1852 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1853 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1854 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1856 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1857 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1859 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1860 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1861 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1862 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1863 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1864 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1865 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1866 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1868 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1869 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1870 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1872 * Roles and role application
1873 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1874 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1875 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1876 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1877 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1879 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1880 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1883 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1884 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1885 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1886 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1887 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1890 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1891 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1892 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1893 changes in the Moose internals.
1895 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1896 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1897 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1900 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1901 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1902 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1903 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1905 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1906 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1907 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1908 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1910 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1911 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1912 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1913 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1914 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1915 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1916 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1917 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1918 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1919 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1920 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1921 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1922 constraint implementations.
1924 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1928 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1929 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1930 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1931 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1932 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1933 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1934 - added tests for this (rafl)
1936 * Moose::Meta::Class
1937 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1938 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1939 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1940 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1941 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1942 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1943 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1944 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1947 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1948 - added tests for this (thepler)
1950 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1951 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1952 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1953 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1956 * Moose::Meta::Class
1957 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1958 * Moose::Meta::Method
1961 * Moose::Error::Default
1962 * Moose::Error::Croak
1963 * Moose::Error::Confess
1964 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1965 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1966 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1967 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1968 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1969 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1971 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1973 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1974 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1976 * Moose::Unsweetened
1977 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1978 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1979 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1981 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1982 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1983 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1984 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1985 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1988 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1989 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1991 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1992 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1993 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1994 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1997 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1999 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2000 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2002 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2005 - Various bug fixes.
2007 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2008 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2010 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2012 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2013 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2014 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2015 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2016 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2017 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2019 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2020 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2021 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2023 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2024 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2025 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2028 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2029 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2030 dependency to 0.64_07.
2032 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2033 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2034 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2036 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2037 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2040 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2041 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2042 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2043 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2044 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2045 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2047 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2048 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2050 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2052 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2053 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2057 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2058 method when that method was provided by another role being
2059 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)

2070 - added test for this (t0m)
2072 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2073 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2074 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2076 - added test for this (t0m)
2079 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"

2085 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2087 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2168 ... this is not my day today ...
2170 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2171 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2172 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2173 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2174 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2177 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2178 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2179 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2180 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2181 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2184 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2186 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2187 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2219 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2220 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2221 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2222 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2223 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2224 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2225 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2226 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2227 - added tests for this
2229 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2230 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2231 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2340 XS based functionality is now optional
2341 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2342 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2343 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2753 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2754 Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2755 - lots of cleanup of such things as:
2757 - type constraint handling
2758 - error handling/messages
2759 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2761 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2762 - added this module to support the refactor
2763 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2765 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2766 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2767 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2771 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2773 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2774 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2775 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2777 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2778 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)
2780 * Moose::Meta::Class
2782 - several tweaks to take advantage of the
2783 new method map caching in Class::MOP
2785 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

2787 be used as a container (sartak)
2788 - added tests for this
2789 - basic support for coercion to ArrayRef and
2790 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2791 - added tests for this
2793 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2794 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2795 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2796 types without having to explictly define them
2797 - added tests for this
2799 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2800 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2801 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2803 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2804 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2805 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2806 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2807 - added tests for this
2808 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2809 a single type at different times instead of
2810 having to do it all in one place
2811 - added tests for this
2813 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2814 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2815 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2818 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2819 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2820 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2821 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2822 new features above (although you cannot add
2823 more type coercions for Union types)
2825 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2826 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2827 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2828 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2829 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2830 - added tests for this.
2831 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2832 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2833 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2834 - added tests for this
2835 - added docs for this
2837 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2838 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2839 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2840 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2841 instead it will just return undef.
2842 - added docs for this
2844 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2854 - added more tests for this (mst)
2855 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
2856 with work correctly.
2857 - added tests for this
2860 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2861 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2864 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2865 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2866 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2868 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2869 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2880 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2882 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2899 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2900 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2903 - fixed how required methods are handled
2904 when they encounter overriden or modified
2905 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2906 - added tests for this
2908 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2909 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2910 the | always creates a union and so is
2911 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2912 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2914 - added more tests for this
2916 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2919 * Parameterized Types
2920 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2921 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2922 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2923 They can also be nested:
2924 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2925 And work with the type unions as well:
2926 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2928 * Better Framework Extendability
2929 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2930 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2931 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2932 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2935 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2936 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2937 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2938 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2941 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2943 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2944 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2947 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2974 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2975 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2977 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2978 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2979 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2980 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2982 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2983 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2984 - updated the accompanying test as well
2986 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2987 +++ with new features added as well +++
2989 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2990 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2991 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2992 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2993 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2995 - added tests for this
2997 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

3003 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3004 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3006 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3007 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3008 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
3009 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3023 (thanks to shlomif).
3025 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3026 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3027 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3028 - added tests for this
3029 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
3031 - added tests for this
3033 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3034 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3035 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3076 (but not changing the handles option)
3077 - added tests and docs for this
3080 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3081 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3082 - adjusted tests for this
3084 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3085 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3086 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3092 the other side (perigrin)
3094 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3095 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3096 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3097 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3098 prototypes for functions
3099 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3100 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3110 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3113 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3114 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3115 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3116 - added tests for this
3118 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3120 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3133 where not handled correctly in roles
3134 - added tests for this
3136 * Moose::Meta::Class
3137 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3138 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3139 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3141 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3142 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3144 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3145 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3146 so this release is just to fix that.
3149 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3150 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3151 (thanks to konobi for this)
3152 - added tests and docs
3154 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3155 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3157 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3158 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3159 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3160 - added tests for this
3161 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3162 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3163 functions to facilitate introspection.
3165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3166 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3167 to build the list of delegated methods
3168 correctly (and not override important
3169 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3171 - added tests and docs for this
3172 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3173 so that you can actually document your
3174 attributes and inspect them through the
3176 - added tests and docs for this
3178 * Moose::Meta::Class
3179 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3180 it will first look in for the class in the
3181 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3182 then default to just loading $name.
3183 - added tests and docs for this
3185 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3186 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3187 - added test for this
3190 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3191 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3192 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3193 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3195 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3196 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3199 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3201 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3202 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3203 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3206 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3207 !! for this developer release to work !!
3209 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3210 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3211 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3212 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3213 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3214 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3215 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3216 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3217 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3218 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3219 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3221 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3222 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3223 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3224 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3227 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3228 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3229 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3230 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3231 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3233 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3235 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3236 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3239 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3240 called unless they actually need to be.
3241 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3242 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3243 DEMOLISH method present.
3245 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3246 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3247 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3248 type constraint, which allows for a
3249 hand optimized version of the type
3250 constraint to be used when possible.
3251 - Any internally created type constraints
3252 now provide an optimized version as well.
3254 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3256 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3257 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3258 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3261 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3262 your class namespace of these exported
3265 * Moose::Meta::Class
3266 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3267 comes up during global destruction
3269 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3273 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3277 - changed how we do type checks so that
3278 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3281 - moved accessor generation methods to
3282 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3283 conform to the API changes from
3286 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3287 - changed how constraints are compiled
3288 so that we do less recursion and more
3289 iteration. This makes the type check
3291 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3294 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3295 - created this from methods formerly found in
3296 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3298 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3299 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3301 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3302 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3304 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3305 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3307 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3309 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3310 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3311 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3312 - added tests for this
3313 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3314 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3315 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3316 - removed tests for this
3318 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3320 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3321 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3322 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3325 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3326 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3327 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3329 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3330 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3331 comments for more info.
3334 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3335 asked questions and common problems
3337 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3338 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3339 - added tests for this
3341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3342 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3343 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3344 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3346 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3347 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3350 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3351 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3352 is much appreciated :)
3353 - added tests for this
3355 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3356 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3357 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3360 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3361 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3363 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3365 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3366 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3370 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3371 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3372 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3374 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3376 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3379 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3380 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3381 keywords because we need to localize them.
3382 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3384 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3385 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3386 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3389 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3392 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3393 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3394 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3397 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3398 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3399 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3401 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3403 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3404 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3405 bottom of your class file.
3408 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3411 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3413 - improved error message when loading modules so
3414 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3415 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3416 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3419 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3420 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3421 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3423 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3424 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3426 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3427 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3428 turn them on for you.
3429 - added tests for this
3430 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3431 in Moose::Meta::Class

3458 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3459 - This release works in combination with
3460 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3461 release because it uses the a new
3462 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3463 complete Role implementation. It has
3464 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3465 the the previous CPAN version. This
3466 release also lacks good updated docs,
3467 the official release will have updated docs.
3470 - refactored the keyword exports
3471 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3472 accepts more than one Role at a time
3473 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3474 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3477 - refactored the keyword exports
3478 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3479 accepts more than one Role at a time
3481 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3482 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3483 string enumerations which can be used as
3485 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3488 - more careful checking of params to new()
3491 - much work done on the role composition
3492 - many new tests for conflict detection
3493 and composition edge cases
3494 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3495 looking at the tests
3497 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3498 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3499 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3501 * Moose::Meta::Class
3502 - some small changes to support the new
3504 - some small additions to support Roles
3506 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3507 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3509 - some small changes to support the new
3511 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3512 with the 'handles' option
3513 - added several tests for this
3514 - no docs for this yet
3516 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3518 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3519 thanks to chansen for this commit
3520 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3521 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3522 on a per-attribute basis
3523 - added tests for this
3524 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3525 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3526 experimental feature and probably not finished
3527 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3528 more details, or ask about it on #moose
