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)
12 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
13 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
14 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
16 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
17 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
18 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
21 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
22 class if you pass it options for
23 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
24 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
25 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
26 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
27 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
28 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
29 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
30 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
31 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
34 - Warn when calling make_immutable on a class with mutable ancestors.
37 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
38 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
39 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
40 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
41 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
44 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
45 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
46 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
47 existing delegation API. (hdp)
49 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
50 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
51 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
52 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
53 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
54 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
58 * Moose::Error::Confess
59 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
60 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
63 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
66 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
67 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
68 installing a broken sub. (doy)
71 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
72 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
74 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
75 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
76 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
77 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
78 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
80 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
81 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
84 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
86 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
87 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
90 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
91 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
93 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
94 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
95 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
96 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
98 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
99 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
100 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
101 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
102 using it for new code!
104 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
105 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
106 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
107 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
109 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
110 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
111 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
112 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
113 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
114 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
115 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
116 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
119 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
122 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
123 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
127 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
129 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
130 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
131 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
135 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
136 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
139 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
140 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
142 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
143 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
144 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
147 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
149 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
150 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
151 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
152 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
154 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
156 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
160 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
161 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
163 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
164 associated_methods. (hdp)
165 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
166 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
167 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
168 misspelled) arguments
170 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
171 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
172 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
173 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
175 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
176 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
177 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
179 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
182 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
183 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
184 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
187 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
188 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
190 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
192 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
193 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
195 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
196 * Moose::Manual::Types
197 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
198 string parsing rathole (mst)
200 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
201 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
202 using plain objects instead
204 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
205 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
208 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
210 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
211 three times today (perigrin)
212 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
213 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
215 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
216 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
217 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
218 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
221 - A role's required methods are now represented by
222 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
223 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
224 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
225 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
226 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
229 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
230 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
231 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
232 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
235 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
237 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
240 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
242 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
245 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
246 during global destruction. This method has been made more
247 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
251 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
252 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
255 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
256 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
258 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
259 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
260 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
263 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
265 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
266 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
269 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
273 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
274 methods during global destruction (doy)
277 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
278 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
282 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
283 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
286 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
287 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
290 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
291 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
293 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
295 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
299 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
300 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
301 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
304 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
305 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
306 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
309 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
311 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
312 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
313 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
316 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
317 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
318 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
319 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
321 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
322 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
323 of the Moose core (Sartak)
326 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
329 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
330 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
331 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
335 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
336 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
339 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
341 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
344 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
345 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
348 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
349 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
352 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
353 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
356 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
359 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
361 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
362 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
366 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
368 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
369 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
372 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
373 * More deprecations and renamings
374 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
375 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
376 when an object is constructed)
379 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
380 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
381 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
384 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
385 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
386 feature, and it works again.
389 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
391 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
393 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
394 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
395 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
397 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
398 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
399 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
400 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
401 message. Test provided by perigrin.
403 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
404 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
405 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
406 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
407 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
410 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
411 metaclass object. (hdp)
413 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
414 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
415 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
416 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
417 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
418 point out this fact. (hdp)
420 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
421 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
423 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
424 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
427 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
428 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
429 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
430 called during instance construction were passed the
431 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
432 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
434 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
435 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
438 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
439 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
440 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
443 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
444 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
445 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
446 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
447 them, but they are not for "public" use.
450 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
452 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
453 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
454 when an object is constructed)
455 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
457 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
458 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
459 when an object is constructed)
460 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
461 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
462 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
465 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
467 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
468 * No changes from 0.72_01.
470 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
472 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
473 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
474 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
476 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
477 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
478 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
480 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
482 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
483 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
485 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
486 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
489 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
490 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
493 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
494 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
495 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
497 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
498 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
502 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
503 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
504 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
506 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
507 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
510 * Moose::Manual::Delta
511 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
512 with recommended workarounds.
514 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
515 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
517 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
518 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
519 (yes, spelled like that).
521 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
522 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
525 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
526 changes in latest Class::MOP.
528 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
531 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
532 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
533 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
534 instead. Reported by doy.
536 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
538 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
539 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
541 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
542 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
543 message) is now deprecated.
544 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
545 often got it wrong. For example:
547 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
549 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
553 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
554 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
555 bite you in weird cases.
557 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
558 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
559 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
562 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
563 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
567 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
570 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
571 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
574 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
575 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
577 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
578 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
581 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
582 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
583 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
584 - added tests for this (stevan)
586 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
587 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
588 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
589 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
593 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
594 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
595 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
596 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
598 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
599 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
600 - added tests for this (rafl)
602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
603 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
604 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
605 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
609 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
610 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
613 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
614 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
615 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
617 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
619 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
620 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
623 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
624 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
625 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
626 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
628 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
629 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
630 error message did not specify the attribute name
633 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
635 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
637 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
638 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
639 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
641 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
642 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
645 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
647 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
648 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
649 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
650 of fixes and formatting improvements.
652 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
654 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
655 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
656 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
657 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
659 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
660 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
661 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
663 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
664 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
665 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
666 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
667 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
669 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
670 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
671 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
672 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
673 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
675 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
676 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
677 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
678 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
679 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
680 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
682 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
683 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
684 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
685 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
686 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
687 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
689 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
690 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
692 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
693 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
694 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
695 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
698 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
701 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
705 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
706 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
708 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
709 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
710 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
713 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
714 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
715 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
718 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
719 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
720 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
723 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
726 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
727 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
729 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
731 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
734 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
735 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
736 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
737 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
738 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
739 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
741 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
742 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
743 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
744 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
745 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
746 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
747 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
748 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
749 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
750 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
752 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
754 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
755 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
757 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
758 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
759 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
760 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
762 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
763 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
764 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
765 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
766 same methods for a single role did not work
767 right (worked just fine with multiple
769 - added test for this (stevan)
771 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
772 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
773 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
776 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
777 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
778 - added test for this (t0m)
781 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
782 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
783 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
785 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
786 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
787 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
788 - added test for this (t0m)
790 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
791 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
792 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
793 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
794 - added test for this (perigrin)
797 - create method for constructing a role
799 - added test for this (Sartak)
800 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
801 - added test for this (Sartak)
804 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
806 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
807 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
808 methods is useful (Sartak)
810 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
811 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
812 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
816 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
817 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
818 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
819 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
820 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
821 - added tests for this (jdv79)
824 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
825 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
827 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
828 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
829 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
830 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
831 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
833 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
835 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
836 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
837 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
840 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
841 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
842 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
843 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
844 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
845 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
848 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
849 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
850 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
851 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
852 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
853 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
854 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
855 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
856 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
857 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
858 future. (jnapiorkowski)
860 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
861 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
864 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
865 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
866 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
867 type. (jnapiorkowski)
868 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
870 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
872 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
873 predicate, and link to more details sections in
874 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
876 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
877 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
880 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
881 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
882 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
885 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
886 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
888 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
890 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
891 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
894 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
895 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
898 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
899 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
900 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
901 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
903 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
904 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
906 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
907 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
908 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
909 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
910 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
911 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
912 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
913 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
915 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
916 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
917 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
919 * Roles and role application
920 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
921 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
922 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
923 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
924 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
926 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
927 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
930 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
931 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
932 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
933 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
934 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
937 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
938 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
939 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
940 changes in the Moose internals.
942 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
943 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
944 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
947 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
948 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
949 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
950 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
952 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
953 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
954 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
955 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
957 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
958 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
959 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
960 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
961 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
962 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
963 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
964 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
965 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
966 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
967 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
968 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
969 constraint implementations.
971 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
975 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
976 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
977 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
978 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
979 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
980 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
981 - added tests for this (rafl)
984 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
985 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
986 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
987 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
988 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
989 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
990 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
991 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
994 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
995 - added tests for this (thepler)
997 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
998 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
999 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1000 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1003 * Moose::Meta::Class
1004 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1005 * Moose::Meta::Method
1008 * Moose::Error::Default
1009 * Moose::Error::Croak
1010 * Moose::Error::Confess
1011 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1012 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1013 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1014 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1015 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1016 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1018 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1020 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1021 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1023 * Moose::Unsweetened
1024 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1025 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1026 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1028 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1029 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1030 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1031 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1032 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1035 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1036 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1038 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1039 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1040 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1041 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1044 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1046 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1047 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1049 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1052 - Various bug fixes.
1054 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1055 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1057 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1059 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1060 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1061 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1062 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1063 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1064 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1066 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1067 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1068 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1070 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1071 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1072 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1075 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1076 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1077 dependency to 0.64_07.
1079 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1080 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1081 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1083 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1084 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1087 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1088 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1089 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1090 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1091 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1092 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1094 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1095 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1097 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1099 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1100 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1104 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1105 method when that method was provided by another role being
1106 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1107 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1109 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1111 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1112 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1114 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1115 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1116 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1117 - added test for this (t0m)
1119 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1120 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1121 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1123 - added test for this (t0m)
1126 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1127 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1128 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1131 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1132 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1134 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1136 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1137 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1139 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1140 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1141 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1143 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1144 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1147 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1148 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1149 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1150 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1154 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1155 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1156 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1159 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1160 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1161 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1162 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1165 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1169 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1170 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1171 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1173 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1174 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1175 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1176 created so that the process can be more easily
1177 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1179 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1180 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1181 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1182 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1184 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1185 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1188 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1189 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1191 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1192 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1193 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1195 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1196 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1197 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1199 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1200 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1202 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1203 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1206 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1207 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1211 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1212 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1214 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1215 ... this is not my day today ...
1217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1218 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1219 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1220 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1221 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1224 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1225 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1226 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1227 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1228 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1231 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1233 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1234 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1235 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1236 this is not ever something you want to do
1237 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1238 - added tests for this (stevan)
1241 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1243 - added test for this
1245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1246 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1247 - added tests for this (wreis)
1249 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1250 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1251 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1252 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1254 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1255 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1256 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1259 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1261 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1263 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1266 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1267 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1268 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1269 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1270 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1271 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1272 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1273 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1274 - added tests for this
1276 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1277 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1278 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1279 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1281 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1283 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1284 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1285 - added tests for this (sartak)
1286 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1287 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1290 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1292 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1293 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1295 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1296 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1297 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1298 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1300 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1302 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1303 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1306 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1307 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1308 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1310 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1311 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1312 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1314 - added docs for this (TODO).
1315 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1316 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1317 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1318 - fix builder and default both being used
1323 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1325 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1326 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1327 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1331 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1335 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1336 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1337 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1339 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1340 - move the ClassName type check code to
1341 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1343 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1344 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1346 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1347 (early morning release engineering)--
1349 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1350 which was causing the indexer to choke
1352 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1353 (late night release engineering)--
1355 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1356 changes in this release
1358 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1359 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1360 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1362 * Moose::Meta::Class
1363 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1364 since it is called so often by &meta
1366 * Moose::Meta::Class
1368 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1369 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1372 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1373 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1374 method for immutablization to check if the
1375 destructor object even needs to be created
1378 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor

1384 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1386 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1387 XS based functionality is now optional
1388 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1389 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1390 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1392 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1393 to take care of this, mostly we added

1401 is currently not supported in roles,
1402 but, ... patches welcome

1409 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1410 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1412 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1413 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1414 - added test for this
1416 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1460 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1463 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1464 ->body when looping through the
1465 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1467 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1468 eating the $@ values, and so not
1469 working correctly, it still kind of
1470 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1471 - added tests for this

1493 drink more coffee before
1494 doing release engineering
1496 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1497 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1498 modules. This fixes that.

1501 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1502 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

1611 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1613 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1614 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1657 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1658 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1951 when they encounter overriden or modified
1952 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1953 - added tests for this
1955 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1956 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1957 the | always creates a union and so is

1963 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1966 * Parameterized Types
1967 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1968 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1969 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1970 They can also be nested:
1971 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1972 And work with the type unions as well:
1973 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1975 * Better Framework Extendability
1976 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1977 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1978 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1979 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1982 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1983 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1984 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1985 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1988 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1990 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2144 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2145 prototypes for functions
2146 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2147 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2157 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2160 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2161 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2162 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2163 - added tests for this
2165 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2167 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2189 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2191 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007

2193 so this release is just to fix that.
2196 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2197 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2198 (thanks to konobi for this)

2210 functions to facilitate introspection.
2212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2219 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2220 so that you can actually document your
2221 attributes and inspect them through the

2225 * Moose::Meta::Class
2226 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2227 it will first look in for the class in the
2228 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2229 then default to just loading $name.
2230 - added tests and docs for this
2232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2233 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2234 - added test for this
2237 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2238 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2239 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2240 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2242 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2243 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2246 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2248 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2249 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2250 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2253 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2254 !! for this developer release to work !!
2256 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2257 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2258 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2259 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2260 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2261 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2262 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2263 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2264 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2265 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2266 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2268 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2269 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2270 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2271 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2274 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2275 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2276 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2277 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2278 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2280 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2282 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2283 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2286 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2287 called unless they actually need to be.
2288 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2289 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2290 DEMOLISH method present.
2292 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2293 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2294 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2295 type constraint, which allows for a
2296 hand optimized version of the type
2297 constraint to be used when possible.
2298 - Any internally created type constraints
2299 now provide an optimized version as well.
2301 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2303 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2304 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2305 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2308 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2309 your class namespace of these exported
2312 * Moose::Meta::Class
2313 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2314 comes up during global destruction
2316 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2320 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2324 - changed how we do type checks so that
2325 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2328 - moved accessor generation methods to
2329 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2330 conform to the API changes from
2333 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2334 - changed how constraints are compiled
2335 so that we do less recursion and more
2336 iteration. This makes the type check
2338 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2341 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2342 - created this from methods formerly found in
2343 Moose::Meta::Attribute

2356 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2357 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2358 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2359 - added tests for this
2360 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2361 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2362 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2363 - removed tests for this
2365 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2367 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2368 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2369 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2372 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2373 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2374 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2376 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2377 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2378 comments for more info.
2381 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2382 asked questions and common problems
2384 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2385 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2386 - added tests for this
2388 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2389 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2390 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2391 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2393 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2394 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2397 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2398 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2399 is much appreciated :)
2400 - added tests for this
2402 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2403 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2404 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2407 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2408 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2410 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2412 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2413 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2417 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2418 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2419 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2421 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2423 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2426 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2427 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2428 keywords because we need to localize them.
2429 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2431 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2432 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2433 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2436 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2439 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2440 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2441 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2444 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2445 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2446 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2448 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2450 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2451 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2452 bottom of your class file.
2455 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2458 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2460 - improved error message when loading modules so
2461 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2462 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2463 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2466 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2467 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2468 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2471 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2473 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2474 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2475 turn them on for you.
2476 - added tests for this

2505 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2506 - This release works in combination with
2507 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2508 release because it uses the a new
2509 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2510 complete Role implementation. It has
2511 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2512 the the previous CPAN version. This
2513 release also lacks good updated docs,
2514 the official release will have updated docs.
2517 - refactored the keyword exports
2518 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2519 accepts more than one Role at a time

2525 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2526 accepts more than one Role at a time
2528 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2530 string enumerations which can be used as
2532 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2535 - more careful checking of params to new()
2538 - much work done on the role composition
2539 - many new tests for conflict detection
2540 and composition edge cases
2541 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2542 looking at the tests
2544 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2545 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2546 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2567 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2568 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2569 on a per-attribute basis
2570 - added tests for this
2571 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2572 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2573 experimental feature and probably not finished

2575 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2576 - added tests for this
