1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
9 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
13 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
14 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
15 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
16 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
21 * When an attribute was removed and then re-added, it's insertion_order
22 could end up being the same as another attribute. This has been fixed so
23 that the old order is reused if possible.
27 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
28 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
29 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
30 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
32 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
36 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
37 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
38 the attribute's reference.
42 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
43 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
47 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
48 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
49 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. (sartak)
51 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
52 the Object constraint).
54 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
58 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
59 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
64 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
66 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
70 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
73 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
75 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
79 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
81 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
85 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
88 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
89 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
90 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
92 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
95 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
99 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
101 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
105 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
107 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
111 * Include changes from 2.0010.
113 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
117 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
118 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
122 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
123 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
124 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
129 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
131 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
135 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
136 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
138 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
142 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
144 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
148 * Various packaging issues.
150 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
154 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
155 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
160 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
161 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
162 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
166 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
167 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
168 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
170 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
174 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
175 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
177 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
181 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
182 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
184 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
187 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
188 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
192 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
193 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
195 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
199 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
200 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
204 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
206 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
210 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
212 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
216 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
217 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
219 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
223 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
225 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
229 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
231 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
232 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
234 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
238 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
239 skips every other role. (rjbs)
241 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
242 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
243 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
244 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
245 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
247 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
251 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
252 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
253 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
256 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
261 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
263 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
264 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
266 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
270 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
271 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
272 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
276 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
277 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
279 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
280 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
282 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
283 environments. (doy, mateu)
285 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
289 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
290 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
291 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
292 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
296 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
297 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
299 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
303 * Update conflicts list.
306 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
310 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
311 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
312 details. (Dave Rolsky)
314 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
315 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
316 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
317 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
318 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
322 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
323 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
324 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
325 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
326 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
329 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
333 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
334 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
336 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
339 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
343 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
344 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
345 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
346 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
348 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
349 immutable classes). (mo)
351 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
352 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
353 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
355 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
359 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
361 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
363 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
367 * Fix some indexing issues.
369 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
371 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
375 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
376 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
377 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
378 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
379 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
381 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
382 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
387 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
388 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
389 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
390 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
392 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
393 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
394 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
398 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
399 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
402 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
406 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
407 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
411 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
415 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
416 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
417 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
418 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
421 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
425 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
428 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
432 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
433 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
434 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
437 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
441 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
442 policy. (Chris Prather)
444 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
445 on this new support policy. (doy)
449 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
450 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
451 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
453 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
454 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
456 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
460 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
461 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
462 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
463 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
466 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
470 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
471 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
474 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
478 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
479 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
481 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
482 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
486 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
487 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
488 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
489 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
490 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
491 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
493 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
494 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
496 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
497 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
498 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
499 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
501 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
502 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
504 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
509 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
510 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
512 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
516 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
517 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
518 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
520 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
524 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
525 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
526 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
528 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
529 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
532 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
533 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
536 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
537 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
538 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
540 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
541 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
546 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
547 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
548 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
549 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
551 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
552 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
554 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
555 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
557 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
558 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
559 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
560 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
562 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
563 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
564 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
567 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
568 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
569 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
570 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
572 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
573 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
576 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
577 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
578 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
580 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
584 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
585 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
586 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
588 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
589 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
590 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
593 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
594 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
595 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
597 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
598 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
599 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
601 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
602 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
606 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
607 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
608 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
610 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
611 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
612 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
613 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
615 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
619 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
620 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
621 value is a reference.
623 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
624 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
626 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
630 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
631 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
632 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
634 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
638 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
639 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
643 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
644 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
645 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
647 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
648 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
649 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
651 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
655 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
657 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
661 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
663 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
664 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
669 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
670 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
672 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
673 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
674 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
675 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
676 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
678 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
679 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
680 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
681 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
683 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
687 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
688 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
693 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
695 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
697 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
702 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
704 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
708 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
709 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
710 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
712 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
713 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
714 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
715 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
717 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
718 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
719 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
720 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
721 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
724 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
729 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
730 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
731 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
732 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
733 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
736 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
740 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
743 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
744 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
748 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
749 function (not just method). (doy)
753 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
754 and aren't easily installable/testable.
756 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
760 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
761 to be overridden more easily (doy).
763 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
767 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
768 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
770 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
774 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
775 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
776 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
778 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
782 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
783 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
784 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
786 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
787 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
791 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
792 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
794 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
795 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
799 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
800 is applied to a class (t0m).
802 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
803 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
805 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
808 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
809 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
811 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
812 be much more robust. (doy)
814 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
816 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
819 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
823 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
824 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
826 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
830 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
831 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
833 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
836 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
837 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
838 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
840 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
841 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
842 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
845 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
847 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
851 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
852 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
856 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
858 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
862 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
863 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
867 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
868 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
872 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
874 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
878 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
879 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
883 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
884 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
888 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
889 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
891 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
895 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
896 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
897 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
900 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
904 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
905 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
906 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
907 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
909 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
913 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
914 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
915 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
919 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
922 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
926 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
927 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
928 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
932 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
933 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
935 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
936 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
937 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
938 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
940 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
944 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
948 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
949 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
951 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
952 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
953 - Moose::Util::does_role
954 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
955 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
956 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
958 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
962 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
963 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
964 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
967 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
971 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
972 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
975 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
979 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
980 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
983 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
987 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
989 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
990 class. (Dave Rolsky).
992 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
993 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
994 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
996 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
997 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
998 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1001 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1002 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1005 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1006 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1008 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1010 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1011 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1013 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1015 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1018 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1019 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1021 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1022 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1024 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1025 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1026 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1027 dependencies installed.
1029 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1030 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1033 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1035 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1039 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1041 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1042 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1043 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1045 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1046 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1047 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1049 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1050 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1053 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1054 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1055 others. (nothingmuch)
1057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1058 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1059 remove_accessors. (doy)
1061 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1062 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1063 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1065 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1066 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1068 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1069 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1070 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1071 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1073 * Moose::Meta::Class
1074 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1075 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1077 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1078 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1080 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1082 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1083 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1086 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1087 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1088 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1089 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1090 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1092 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1093 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1094 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1095 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1096 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1097 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1098 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1101 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1102 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1103 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1104 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1105 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1107 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1108 which were not receiving the value of
1109 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1110 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1111 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1112 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1116 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1117 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1118 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1119 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1120 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1123 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1124 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1125 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1126 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1128 * Moose::Meta::Class
1129 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1130 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1131 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1134 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1136 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1138 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1139 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1140 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1143 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1144 class if you pass it options for
1145 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1146 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1147 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1148 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1149 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1150 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1151 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1152 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1153 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1155 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1156 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1157 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1158 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1159 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1162 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1163 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1164 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1165 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1167 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1168 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1169 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1170 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1171 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1172 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1175 * Moose::Error::Croak
1176 * Moose::Error::Confess
1177 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1178 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1181 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1184 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1185 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1186 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1188 * Moose::Meta::Class
1189 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1192 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1193 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1194 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1196 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1197 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1198 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1199 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1200 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1202 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1203 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1206 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1208 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1209 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1212 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1213 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1216 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1217 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1218 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1220 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1221 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1222 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1223 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1224 using it for new code!
1226 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1227 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1228 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1229 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1231 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1232 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1233 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1234 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1235 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1236 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1237 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1238 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1241 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1244 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1245 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1249 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1251 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1252 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1253 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1255 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1256 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1257 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1258 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1260 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1261 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1262 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1264 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1265 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1266 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1269 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1271 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1272 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1273 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1274 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1276 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1278 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1282 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1283 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1285 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1286 associated_methods. (hdp)
1287 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1288 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1289 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1290 misspelled) arguments
1292 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1293 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1294 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1295 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1297 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1298 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1299 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1301 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1305 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1306 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1309 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1310 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1312 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1313 * Moose::Meta::Class
1314 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1315 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1317 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1318 * Moose::Manual::Types
1319 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1320 string parsing rathole (mst)
1322 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1323 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1324 using plain objects instead
1326 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1327 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1328 that's what we need.
1330 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1331 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1332 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1333 three times today (perigrin)
1334 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1335 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1337 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1338 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1339 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1340 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1343 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1344 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1345 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1346 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1347 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1348 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1351 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1352 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1353 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1354 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1357 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1359 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1362 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1364 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1367 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1368 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1369 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1373 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1374 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1377 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1378 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1380 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1381 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1382 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1384 * Moose::Unsweetened
1385 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1387 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1388 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1391 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1395 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1396 methods during global destruction (doy)
1398 * Moose::Meta::Class
1399 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1400 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1401 consumption (Sartak)
1403 * Moose::Meta::Class
1404 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1405 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1408 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1409 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1412 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1413 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1415 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1417 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1421 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1422 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1423 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1426 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1427 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1428 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1431 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1433 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1434 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1435 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1438 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1439 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1440 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1441 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1443 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1444 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1445 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1448 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1451 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1452 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1453 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1457 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1458 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1460 * Moose::Meta::Class
1461 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1463 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1465 * Moose::Meta::Class
1466 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1467 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1470 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1471 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1474 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1475 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1478 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1481 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1483 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1484 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1487 * Moose::Meta::Class
1488 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1490 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1491 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1494 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1495 * More deprecations and renamings
1496 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1497 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1498 when an object is constructed)
1501 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1502 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1503 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1505 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1506 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1507 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1508 feature, and it works again.
1511 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1513 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1515 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1516 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1517 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1519 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1520 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1521 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1522 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1523 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1525 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1526 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1527 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1528 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1529 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1532 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1533 metaclass object. (hdp)
1535 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1536 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1537 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1538 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1539 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1540 point out this fact. (hdp)
1542 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1543 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1545 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1546 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1548 * Moose::Meta::Class
1549 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1550 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1551 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1552 called during instance construction were passed the
1553 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1554 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1556 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1557 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1560 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1561 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1562 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1565 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1566 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1567 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1568 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1569 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1571 - Moose::Meta::Class
1572 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1574 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1575 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1576 when an object is constructed)
1577 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1579 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1580 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1581 when an object is constructed)
1582 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1583 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1584 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1587 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1589 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1590 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1592 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1594 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1595 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1596 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1598 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1599 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1600 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1602 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1604 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1605 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1607 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1608 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1611 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1612 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1615 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1616 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1617 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1619 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1620 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1624 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1625 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1626 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1628 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1629 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1632 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1633 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1634 with recommended workarounds.
1636 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1637 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1640 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1641 (yes, spelled like that).
1643 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1644 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1646 * Moose::Meta::Class
1647 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1648 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1650 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1652 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1653 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1654 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1655 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1656 instead. Reported by doy.
1658 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1660 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1661 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1663 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1664 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1665 message) is now deprecated.
1666 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1667 often got it wrong. For example:
1669 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1671 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1675 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1676 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1677 bite you in weird cases.
1679 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1680 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1681 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1682 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1684 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1685 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1689 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1692 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1693 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1696 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1697 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1700 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1703 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1704 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1705 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1706 - added tests for this (stevan)
1708 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1709 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1710 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1711 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1715 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1716 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1717 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1718 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1720 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1721 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1722 - added tests for this (rafl)
1724 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1725 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1726 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1727 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1731 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1732 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1735 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1736 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1737 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1739 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1741 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1742 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1744 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1745 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1746 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1747 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1748 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1750 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1751 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1752 error message did not specify the attribute name
1755 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1757 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1759 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1760 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1761 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1763 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1764 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1767 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1769 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1770 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1771 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1772 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1774 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1776 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1777 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1778 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1779 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1781 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1782 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1783 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1785 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1786 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1787 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1788 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1789 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1791 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1792 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1793 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1794 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1795 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1798 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1799 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1800 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1801 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1802 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1804 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1805 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1806 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1807 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1808 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1809 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1811 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1812 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1814 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1815 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1816 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1817 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1820 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1823 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1827 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1828 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1830 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1831 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1832 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1833 guts. (nothingmuch).
1835 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1837 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1839 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1840 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1841 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1842 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1844 * Moose::Meta::Class
1845 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1848 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1849 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1851 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1852 * Moose::Unsweetened
1853 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1856 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1857 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1858 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1859 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1860 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1861 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1863 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1864 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1865 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1866 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1867 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1868 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1869 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1870 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1871 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1872 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1874 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1876 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1877 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1880 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1881 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1882 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1884 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1885 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1886 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1887 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1888 same methods for a single role did not work
1889 right (worked just fine with multiple
1891 - added test for this (stevan)
1893 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1894 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1895 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1898 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1899 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1900 - added test for this (t0m)
1903 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1904 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1905 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1907 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1908 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1909 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1910 - added test for this (t0m)
1912 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1913 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1914 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1915 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1916 - added test for this (perigrin)
1919 - create method for constructing a role
1920 dynamically (Sartak)
1921 - added test for this (Sartak)
1922 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1923 - added test for this (Sartak)
1926 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1928 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1929 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1930 methods is useful (Sartak)
1932 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1933 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1934 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1937 * Moose::Meta::Class
1938 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1939 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1940 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1941 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1942 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1943 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1946 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1947 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1949 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1950 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1951 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1952 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1953 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1955 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1957 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1958 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1959 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1962 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1963 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1964 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1965 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1966 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1967 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1971 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1972 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1973 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1974 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1975 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1976 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1977 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1978 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1979 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1980 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1982 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1983 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1986 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1987 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1988 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1989 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1990 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1992 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1994 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1995 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1996 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1999 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2001 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2002 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2003 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2004 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2007 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2008 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2010 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2012 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2013 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2015 * Moose::Meta::Class
2016 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2017 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2018 a required attribute
2020 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2022 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2023 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2025 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2026 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2028 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2029 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2030 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2031 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2032 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2033 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2034 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2035 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2037 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2038 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2039 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2041 * Roles and role application
2042 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2043 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2044 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2045 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2046 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2048 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2049 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2052 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2053 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2054 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2055 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2056 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2059 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2060 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2061 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2062 changes in the Moose internals.
2064 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2065 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2066 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2069 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2070 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2071 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2072 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2074 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2075 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2076 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2077 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2079 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2080 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2081 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2082 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2083 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2084 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2085 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2086 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2087 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2088 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2089 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2090 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2091 constraint implementations.
2093 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2097 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2098 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2099 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2100 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2101 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2102 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2103 - added tests for this (rafl)
2105 * Moose::Meta::Class
2106 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2107 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2108 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2109 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2110 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2111 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2112 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2113 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2116 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2117 - added tests for this (thepler)
2119 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2120 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2121 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2122 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2125 * Moose::Meta::Class
2126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2127 * Moose::Meta::Method
2130 * Moose::Error::Default
2131 * Moose::Error::Croak
2132 * Moose::Error::Confess
2133 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2134 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2135 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2136 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2137 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2138 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2140 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2142 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2143 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2145 * Moose::Unsweetened
2146 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2147 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2148 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2150 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2151 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2152 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2153 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2154 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2157 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2158 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2160 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2161 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2162 several major changes in this release of Moose.

2205 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2206 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2209 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2210 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2211 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2212 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2213 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2214 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2216 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2217 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2219 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2221 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2222 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2226 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required

2228 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2229 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2231 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2239 - added test for this (t0m)
2241 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2242 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2243 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2245 - added test for this (t0m)
2248 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2249 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2250 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2253 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2254 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2256 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2258 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2259 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2261 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2262 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2263 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2265 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2266 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2269 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

2272 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2276 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2277 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2278 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2287 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2291 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2297 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2298 created so that the process can be more easily

2328 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2329 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2333 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2334 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2336 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2337 ... this is not my day today ...
2339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2340 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2341 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2342 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2343 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2346 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2347 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2348 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2349 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2350 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2353 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2355 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2356 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2357 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2358 this is not ever something you want to do
2359 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2360 - added tests for this (stevan)
2363 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2365 - added test for this

2377 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2378 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2381 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2383 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2385 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2388 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2389 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2390 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2391 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2392 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2393 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2394 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2395 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2396 - added tests for this
2398 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2399 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2400 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2401 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2403 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2472 which was causing the indexer to choke
2474 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2475 (late night release engineering)--
2477 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2478 changes in this release

2494 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2495 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2496 method for immutablization to check if the
2497 destructor object even needs to be created
2500 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2501 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2502 - added more descriptive error message to help
2503 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2504 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2506 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2508 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2509 XS based functionality is now optional
2510 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2511 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2512 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2514 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2515 to take care of this, mostly we added
2516 support for the package_name and name

2519 support regexp matching of names
2520 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2521 - tests added for this
2522 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2523 is currently not supported in roles,
2524 but, ... patches welcome
2525 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2526 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2527 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2531 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2532 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2533 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2534 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2535 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2536 - added test for this
2538 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2539 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2540 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2543 * Moose::Meta::Class

2548 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2550 - added tests for this

2560 called by the inlined immutable
2562 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2564 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2565 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2566 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2567 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

2582 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2585 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2586 ->body when looping through the
2587 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2589 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2590 eating the $@ values, and so not
2591 working correctly, it still kind of
2592 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2593 - added tests for this
2595 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2596 - added new recipe for immutable
2597 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2599 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2615 drink more coffee before
2616 doing release engineering
2618 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2619 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2620 modules. This fixes that.

2733 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2735 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2736 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2737 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

2739 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2740 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2762 - added tests for this
2764 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2765 - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a

2775 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2777 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2780 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2781 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2783 - added more delegation tests
2784 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2785 support traits and their introspection.
2786 - added tests for this

3026 - added tests for this
3029 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3030 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3073 when they encounter overriden or modified
3074 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3075 - added tests for this
3077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3079 the | always creates a union and so is
3080 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

3083 - added more tests for this
3085 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3088 * Parameterized Types
3089 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3090 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3091 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3092 They can also be nested:
3093 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3094 And work with the type unions as well:
3095 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3097 * Better Framework Extendability
3098 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3099 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3100 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3101 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3104 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3105 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3106 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3107 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3110 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3112 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3113 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3341 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3342 so that you can actually document your
3343 attributes and inspect them through the

3347 * Moose::Meta::Class
3348 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3349 it will first look in for the class in the
3350 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3351 then default to just loading $name.
3352 - added tests and docs for this
3354 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3355 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3356 - added test for this
3359 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

3361 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3362 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3364 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3365 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3368 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3370 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3371 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3372 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3375 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3376 !! for this developer release to work !!
3378 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3379 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3380 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3381 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3382 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3383 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3384 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3385 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3386 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3387 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3388 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3390 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3391 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3392 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3393 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3396 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3397 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3398 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3399 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3400 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3402 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3404 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3405 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3408 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3409 called unless they actually need to be.
3410 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3411 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3412 DEMOLISH method present.
3414 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3415 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3416 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3417 type constraint, which allows for a
3418 hand optimized version of the type
3419 constraint to be used when possible.
3420 - Any internally created type constraints
3421 now provide an optimized version as well.
3423 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3425 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3426 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3427 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3429 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3430 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3431 your class namespace of these exported
3434 * Moose::Meta::Class
3435 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3436 comes up during global destruction
3438 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3442 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3446 - changed how we do type checks so that
3447 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3450 - moved accessor generation methods to
3451 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3452 conform to the API changes from
3455 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3456 - changed how constraints are compiled
3457 so that we do less recursion and more
3458 iteration. This makes the type check
3460 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3463 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3464 - created this from methods formerly found in
3465 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3467 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3468 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3470 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3471 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3473 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3474 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3476 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3478 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3479 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3480 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3481 - added tests for this
3482 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3483 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3484 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3485 - removed tests for this
3487 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3489 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3490 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3491 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3494 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3495 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3496 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3498 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3499 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3500 comments for more info.
3503 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3504 asked questions and common problems
3506 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3507 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3508 - added tests for this
3510 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3511 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3512 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3513 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3515 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3516 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3519 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3520 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3521 is much appreciated :)
3522 - added tests for this
3524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3525 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3526 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3529 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3530 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3532 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3534 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3535 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3539 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3540 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3541 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3543 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3545 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3548 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3549 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3550 keywords because we need to localize them.
3551 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3553 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3554 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3555 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3558 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3561 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3562 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3563 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3566 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3567 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3568 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3570 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3572 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3573 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3574 bottom of your class file.
3577 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3580 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3582 - improved error message when loading modules so
3583 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3584 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3585 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3588 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3589 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3590 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3592 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3593 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3595 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3596 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3597 turn them on for you.
3598 - added tests for this
3599 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3600 in Moose::Meta::Class
3603 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3604 automatically turned on for you.

3626 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3627 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3628 - This release works in combination with
3629 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3630 release because it uses the a new
3631 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3632 complete Role implementation. It has
3633 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3634 the the previous CPAN version. This
3635 release also lacks good updated docs,
3636 the official release will have updated docs.
3639 - refactored the keyword exports
3640 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3641 accepts more than one Role at a time
3642 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3643 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3646 - refactored the keyword exports
3647 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3648 accepts more than one Role at a time
3650 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3651 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3652 string enumerations which can be used as
3654 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3657 - more careful checking of params to new()
3660 - much work done on the role composition
3661 - many new tests for conflict detection
3662 and composition edge cases
3663 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3664 looking at the tests
3666 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3667 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3668 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3670 * Moose::Meta::Class
3671 - some small changes to support the new
3673 - some small additions to support Roles
3675 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3676 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3678 - some small changes to support the new
3680 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3681 with the 'handles' option
3682 - added several tests for this
3683 - no docs for this yet
3685 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3687 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3688 thanks to chansen for this commit
3689 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3690 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3691 on a per-attribute basis
3692 - added tests for this
3693 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3694 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3695 experimental feature and probably not finished
3696 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3697 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3698 - added tests for this
