1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
9 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
13 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
14 members, if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
15 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
16 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
17 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
18 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
20 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
25 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
26 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
28 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
32 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
33 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
34 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
36 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
40 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
41 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
42 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
44 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
45 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
48 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
49 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
52 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
53 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
54 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
56 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
57 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
62 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
63 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
64 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
67 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
68 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
70 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
71 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
73 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
74 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
75 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
78 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
79 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
80 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
83 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
84 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
85 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
86 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
88 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
89 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
92 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
93 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
100 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
101 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
102 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
104 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
105 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
106 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
109 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
110 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
111 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
113 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
114 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
115 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
117 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
118 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
122 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
123 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
124 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
126 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
127 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
128 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
129 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
131 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
135 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
136 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
137 value is a reference.
139 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
140 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
142 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
146 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
147 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
148 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
150 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
154 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
155 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
159 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
160 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
161 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
163 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
164 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
165 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
167 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
171 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
173 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
177 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
179 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
180 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
185 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
186 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
188 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
189 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
190 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
191 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
192 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
194 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
195 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
196 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
197 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
199 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
203 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
204 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
209 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
211 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
213 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
218 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
220 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
224 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
225 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
226 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
228 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
229 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
230 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
231 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
233 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
234 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
235 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
236 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
237 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
240 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
245 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
246 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
247 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
248 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
249 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
252 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
256 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
259 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
260 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
264 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
265 function (not just method). (doy)
269 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
270 and aren't easily installable/testable.
272 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
276 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
277 to be overridden more easily (doy).
279 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
283 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
284 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
286 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
290 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
291 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
292 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
294 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
298 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
299 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
300 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
302 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
303 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
307 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
308 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
310 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
311 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
315 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
316 is applied to a class (t0m).
318 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
319 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
321 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
324 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
325 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
327 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
328 be much more robust. (doy)
330 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
332 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
335 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
339 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
340 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
342 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
346 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
347 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
349 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
352 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
353 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
354 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
356 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
357 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
358 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
361 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
363 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
367 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
368 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
372 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
374 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
378 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
379 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
383 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
384 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
388 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
390 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
394 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
395 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
399 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
400 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
404 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
405 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
407 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
411 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
412 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
413 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
416 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
420 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
421 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
422 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
423 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
425 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
429 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
430 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
431 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
435 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
438 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
442 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
443 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
444 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
448 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
449 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
451 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
452 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
453 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
454 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
456 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
460 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
464 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
465 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
467 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
468 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
469 - Moose::Util::does_role
470 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
471 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
472 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
474 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
478 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
479 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
480 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
483 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
487 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
488 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
491 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
495 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
496 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
499 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
503 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
505 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
506 class. (Dave Rolsky).
508 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
509 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
510 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
512 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
513 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
514 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
517 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
518 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
520 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
521 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
522 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
524 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
526 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
527 substr et al, again. (sorear)
529 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
531 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
534 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
535 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
537 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
538 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
540 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
541 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
542 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
543 dependencies installed.
545 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
546 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
549 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
551 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
555 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
558 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
559 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
561 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
562 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
563 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
565 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
566 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
569 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
570 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
571 others. (nothingmuch)
573 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
574 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
575 remove_accessors. (doy)
577 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
578 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
579 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
581 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
582 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
584 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
585 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
586 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
587 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
590 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
591 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
593 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
594 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
596 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
598 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
599 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
602 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
603 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
604 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
605 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
606 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
608 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
609 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
610 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
611 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
612 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
613 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
614 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
617 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
618 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
619 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
620 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
621 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
623 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
624 which were not receiving the value of
625 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
626 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
627 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
628 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
632 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
633 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
634 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
635 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
636 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
640 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
641 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
642 - added tests for this (Stevan)
645 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
646 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
647 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
650 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
651 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
652 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
654 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
655 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
656 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
659 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
660 class if you pass it options for
661 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
662 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
663 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
664 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
665 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
666 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
667 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
668 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
669 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
671 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
672 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
673 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
674 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
675 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
678 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
679 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
680 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
681 existing delegation API. (hdp)
683 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
684 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
685 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
686 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
687 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
688 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
691 * Moose::Error::Croak
692 * Moose::Error::Confess
693 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
694 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
697 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
700 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
701 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
702 installing a broken sub. (doy)
705 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
708 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
709 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
710 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
712 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
713 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
714 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
715 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
716 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
718 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
719 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
722 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
724 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
725 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
728 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
729 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
731 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
732 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
733 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
734 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
736 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
737 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
738 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
739 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
740 using it for new code!
742 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
743 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
744 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
745 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
747 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
748 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
749 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
750 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
751 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
752 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
753 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
754 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
757 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
760 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
761 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
764 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
765 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
767 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
768 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
769 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
772 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
773 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
774 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
777 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
778 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
780 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
781 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
782 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
785 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
786 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
787 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
788 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
789 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
790 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
792 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
794 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
797 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
798 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
799 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
801 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
802 associated_methods. (hdp)
803 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
804 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
805 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
806 misspelled) arguments
808 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
809 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
810 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
811 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
813 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
814 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
815 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
817 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
820 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
821 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
822 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
825 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
826 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
828 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
830 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
831 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
833 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
834 * Moose::Manual::Types
835 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
836 string parsing rathole (mst)
838 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
839 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
840 using plain objects instead
842 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
843 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
846 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
848 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
849 three times today (perigrin)
850 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
851 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
853 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
854 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
855 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
856 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
859 - A role's required methods are now represented by
860 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
861 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
862 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
863 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
864 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
867 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
868 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
869 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
870 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
873 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
875 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
878 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
880 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
883 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
884 during global destruction. This method has been made more
885 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
889 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
890 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
893 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
894 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
896 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
897 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
898 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
901 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
903 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
904 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
907 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
911 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
912 methods during global destruction (doy)
915 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
916 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
920 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
921 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
924 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
925 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
928 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
929 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
931 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
933 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
937 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
938 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
939 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
942 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
943 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
944 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
947 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
949 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
950 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
951 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
954 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
955 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
956 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
957 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
959 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
960 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
961 of the Moose core (Sartak)
964 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
967 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
968 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
969 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
973 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
974 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
977 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
979 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
982 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
983 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
986 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
987 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
990 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
991 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
994 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
997 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
999 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1000 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1003 * Moose::Meta::Class
1004 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1006 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1007 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1010 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1011 * More deprecations and renamings
1012 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1013 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1014 when an object is constructed)
1017 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1018 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1019 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1022 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1023 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1024 feature, and it works again.
1027 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1029 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1031 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1032 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1033 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1036 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1037 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1038 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1039 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1041 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1042 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1043 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1044 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1045 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1048 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1049 metaclass object. (hdp)
1051 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1052 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1053 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1054 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1055 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1056 point out this fact. (hdp)
1058 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1059 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1061 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1062 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1064 * Moose::Meta::Class
1065 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1066 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1067 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1068 called during instance construction were passed the
1069 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1070 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1072 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1073 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1076 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1077 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1078 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1081 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1082 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1083 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1084 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1085 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1087 - Moose::Meta::Class
1088 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1090 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1091 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1092 when an object is constructed)
1093 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1095 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1096 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1097 when an object is constructed)
1098 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1099 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1100 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1103 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1105 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1106 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1108 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1110 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1111 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1112 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1114 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1115 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1116 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1118 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1120 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1121 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1123 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1124 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1127 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1128 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1131 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1132 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1133 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1136 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1140 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1141 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1142 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1144 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1145 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1148 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1149 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1150 with recommended workarounds.
1152 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1153 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1156 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1157 (yes, spelled like that).
1159 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1160 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1162 * Moose::Meta::Class
1163 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1164 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1166 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1168 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1169 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1170 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1171 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1172 instead. Reported by doy.
1174 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1176 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1177 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1179 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1180 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1181 message) is now deprecated.
1182 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1183 often got it wrong. For example:
1185 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1187 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1191 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1192 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1193 bite you in weird cases.
1195 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1196 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1197 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1198 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1200 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1201 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1205 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1208 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1209 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1212 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1213 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1215 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1216 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1219 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1220 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1221 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1222 - added tests for this (stevan)
1224 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1225 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1226 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1227 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1231 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1232 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1233 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1234 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1236 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1237 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1238 - added tests for this (rafl)
1240 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1241 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1242 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1243 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1247 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1248 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1251 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1252 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1253 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1255 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1257 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1258 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1260 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1261 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1262 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1263 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1264 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1266 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1267 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1268 error message did not specify the attribute name
1271 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1273 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1275 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1276 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1277 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1279 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1280 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1283 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1285 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1286 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1287 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1288 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1290 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1292 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1293 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1294 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1295 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1298 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1299 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1301 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1302 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1303 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1304 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1305 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1308 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1309 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1310 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1311 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1313 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1314 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1315 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1316 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1317 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1318 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1320 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1321 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1322 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1323 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1324 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1325 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1327 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1328 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1330 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1331 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1332 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1333 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1335 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1336 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1339 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1343 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1344 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1346 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1347 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1348 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1349 guts. (nothingmuch).
1351 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1353 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1355 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1356 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1357 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1358 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1360 * Moose::Meta::Class
1361 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1364 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1365 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1367 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1368 * Moose::Unsweetened
1369 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1372 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1373 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1374 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1375 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1376 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1377 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1379 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1380 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1381 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1382 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1383 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1384 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1385 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1386 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1387 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1388 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1390 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1392 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1393 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1395 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1396 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1397 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1398 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1400 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1401 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1402 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1403 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1404 same methods for a single role did not work
1405 right (worked just fine with multiple
1407 - added test for this (stevan)
1409 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1410 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1411 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1414 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1415 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1416 - added test for this (t0m)
1419 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1420 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1421 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1423 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1424 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1425 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1426 - added test for this (t0m)
1428 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1429 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1430 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1431 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1432 - added test for this (perigrin)
1435 - create method for constructing a role
1436 dynamically (Sartak)
1437 - added test for this (Sartak)
1438 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1439 - added test for this (Sartak)
1442 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1444 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1445 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1446 methods is useful (Sartak)
1448 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1449 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1450 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1453 * Moose::Meta::Class
1454 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1455 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1456 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1457 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1458 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1459 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1462 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1463 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1465 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1466 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1467 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1468 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1469 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1471 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1473 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1474 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1475 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1478 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1479 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1480 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1481 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1482 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1483 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1486 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1487 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1488 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1489 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1490 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1491 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1492 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1493 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1494 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1495 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1496 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1498 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1499 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1502 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1503 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1504 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1505 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1506 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1508 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1510 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1511 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1512 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1514 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1515 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1517 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1518 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1519 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1520 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1523 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1524 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1526 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1528 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1529 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1531 * Moose::Meta::Class
1532 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1533 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1534 a required attribute
1536 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1537 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1538 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1539 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1541 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1542 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1544 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1545 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1546 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1547 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1548 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1549 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1550 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1551 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1553 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1554 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1555 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1557 * Roles and role application
1558 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1559 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1560 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1561 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1562 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1564 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1565 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1568 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1569 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1570 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1571 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1572 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1575 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1576 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1577 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1578 changes in the Moose internals.
1580 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1581 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1582 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1585 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1586 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1587 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1588 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1590 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1591 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1592 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1593 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1596 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1597 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1598 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1599 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1600 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1601 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1602 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1603 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1604 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1605 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1606 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1607 constraint implementations.
1609 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1613 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1614 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1615 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1616 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1617 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1618 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1619 - added tests for this (rafl)
1621 * Moose::Meta::Class
1622 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1623 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1624 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1625 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1626 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1627 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1628 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1629 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1632 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1633 - added tests for this (thepler)
1635 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1636 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1637 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1638 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1641 * Moose::Meta::Class
1642 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1643 * Moose::Meta::Method
1646 * Moose::Error::Default
1647 * Moose::Error::Croak
1648 * Moose::Error::Confess
1649 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1650 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1651 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1652 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1653 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1654 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1656 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1658 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1659 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1661 * Moose::Unsweetened
1662 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1663 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1664 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1666 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1667 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1668 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1669 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1670 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1673 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1674 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1676 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1677 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1678 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1679 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1682 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1684 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1685 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1687 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1690 - Various bug fixes.
1692 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1693 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1695 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1697 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1698 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1699 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1700 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1701 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1702 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1704 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1705 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1706 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1708 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1709 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1710 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1713 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1714 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1715 dependency to 0.64_07.
1717 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1718 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1719 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1722 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1725 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1726 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1727 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1728 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1729 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1730 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1732 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1733 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1735 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1737 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1738 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1742 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1743 method when that method was provided by another role being
1744 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1745 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1747 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1749 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1750 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1752 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1753 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1754 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1755 - added test for this (t0m)
1757 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1758 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1759 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1761 - added test for this (t0m)
1764 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1765 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1766 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1769 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1770 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1772 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1774 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1775 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1777 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1778 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1779 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1781 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1782 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1785 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1786 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1787 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1788 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1792 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1793 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1794 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1797 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1798 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1799 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1800 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1803 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1807 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1808 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1809 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1811 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1812 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1813 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1814 created so that the process can be more easily
1815 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1817 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1818 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1819 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1820 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1822 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1823 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1826 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1827 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1829 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1830 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1831 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1833 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1834 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1835 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1837 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1838 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1840 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1841 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1844 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1845 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1849 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1850 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1852 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1853 ... this is not my day today ...
1855 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1856 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1857 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1858 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1859 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1862 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1863 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1864 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1865 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1866 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1869 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1871 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1872 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1873 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1874 this is not ever something you want to do
1875 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1876 - added tests for this (stevan)
1879 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1881 - added test for this
1883 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1884 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1885 - added tests for this (wreis)
1887 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1888 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1889 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1890 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1892 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1893 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1894 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1897 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1899 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1901 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1904 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1905 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1906 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1907 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1908 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1909 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1910 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1911 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1912 - added tests for this
1914 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1915 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1916 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1917 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1919 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1921 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1922 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1923 - added tests for this (sartak)
1924 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1925 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1928 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1930 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1931 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1933 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1934 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1935 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1936 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1938 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1940 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1941 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1944 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1945 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1946 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1948 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1949 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1950 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1952 - added docs for this (TODO).
1953 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1954 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1955 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1956 - fix builder and default both being used
1961 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1963 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1964 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1965 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1969 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1973 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1974 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1975 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1977 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1978 - move the ClassName type check code to
1979 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1981 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1982 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1984 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1985 (early morning release engineering)--
1987 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1988 which was causing the indexer to choke
1990 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1991 (late night release engineering)--
1993 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1994 changes in this release
1996 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1997 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1998 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2000 * Moose::Meta::Class
2001 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2002 since it is called so often by &meta
2004 * Moose::Meta::Class
2006 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2007 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2010 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2011 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2012 method for immutablization to check if the
2013 destructor object even needs to be created
2016 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2017 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2018 - added more descriptive error message to help
2019 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2020 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2022 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2024 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2025 XS based functionality is now optional
2026 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2027 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2028 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2030 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2031 to take care of this, mostly we added
2032 support for the package_name and name
2033 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2034 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2035 support regexp matching of names
2036 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2037 - tests added for this
2038 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2039 is currently not supported in roles,
2040 but, ... patches welcome
2041 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2042 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2043 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2046 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2047 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2048 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2049 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2050 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2051 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2052 - added test for this
2054 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2055 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an

2131 drink more coffee before
2132 doing release engineering
2134 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2249 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2251 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2252 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2295 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2296 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2589 when they encounter overriden or modified
2590 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2591 - added tests for this
2593 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2594 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2595 the | always creates a union and so is

2597 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2599 - added more tests for this
2601 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2604 * Parameterized Types
2605 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2606 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2607 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2608 They can also be nested:
2609 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2610 And work with the type unions as well:
2611 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2613 * Better Framework Extendability
2614 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2615 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2616 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2617 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2620 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2621 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2622 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2623 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2752 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2753 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2755 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2756 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2757 to the 'handles' option.
2758 - added tests and docs for this
2759 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
2760 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
2761 (but not changing the handles option)
2762 - added tests and docs for this
2765 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2766 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2767 - adjusted tests for this
2769 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2770 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2771 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2774 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
2775 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2776 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2777 the other side (perigrin)
2779 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2780 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2781 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2782 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2783 prototypes for functions
2784 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2785 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2786 - added tests and docs for this
2787 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2788 default for where be { 1 }

2793 merlyn for finding this bug
2794 - tests added for this
2795 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2798 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2799 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2800 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2801 - added tests for this
2803 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2805 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2821 * Moose::Meta::Class
2822 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2823 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2824 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2826 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2827 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2829 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2830 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2831 so this release is just to fix that.
2834 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2835 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2836 (thanks to konobi for this)
2837 - added tests and docs
2839 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2847 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2848 functions to facilitate introspection.
2850 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2851 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2852 to build the list of delegated methods
2853 correctly (and not override important
2854 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2856 - added tests and docs for this
2857 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2858 so that you can actually document your
2859 attributes and inspect them through the
2861 - added tests and docs for this
2863 * Moose::Meta::Class
2864 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2865 it will first look in for the class in the
2866 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2867 then default to just loading $name.
2868 - added tests and docs for this
2870 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2871 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2872 - added test for this
2875 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2876 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2877 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2878 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2880 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2881 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2884 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2886 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2887 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2888 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2891 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2892 !! for this developer release to work !!
2894 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2895 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2896 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2897 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2898 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2899 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2900 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2901 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2902 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2903 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2904 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2906 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2907 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2908 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2909 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2912 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2913 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2914 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2915 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2916 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2918 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2920 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2921 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2924 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2925 called unless they actually need to be.
2926 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2927 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2928 DEMOLISH method present.
2930 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2931 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2932 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2933 type constraint, which allows for a
2934 hand optimized version of the type
2935 constraint to be used when possible.
2936 - Any internally created type constraints
2937 now provide an optimized version as well.
2939 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2941 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2942 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2943 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2945 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2946 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2947 your class namespace of these exported
2950 * Moose::Meta::Class
2951 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2952 comes up during global destruction
2954 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2958 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2961 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2962 - changed how we do type checks so that
2963 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2966 - moved accessor generation methods to
2967 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2968 conform to the API changes from
2971 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2972 - changed how constraints are compiled
2973 so that we do less recursion and more
2974 iteration. This makes the type check
2976 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2979 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2980 - created this from methods formerly found in
2981 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2983 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2984 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2986 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2987 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

2994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2995 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2996 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2997 - added tests for this
2998 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2999 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3000 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3001 - removed tests for this
3003 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3005 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3006 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3007 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3010 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3011 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3012 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3014 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3015 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3016 comments for more info.
3019 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3020 asked questions and common problems
3022 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3023 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3024 - added tests for this
3026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3027 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3028 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3029 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3031 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3032 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3035 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3036 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3037 is much appreciated :)
3038 - added tests for this
3040 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3041 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3042 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3045 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3046 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3048 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3050 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3051 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3055 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3056 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3057 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3059 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3061 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3064 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3065 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3066 keywords because we need to localize them.
3067 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3069 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3070 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3071 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3074 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3077 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3078 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3079 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3082 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3083 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3084 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3086 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3088 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3089 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3090 bottom of your class file.
3093 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3096 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3098 - improved error message when loading modules so
3099 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3100 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3101 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3104 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3105 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3106 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3108 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3109 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3111 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3112 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3113 turn them on for you.
3114 - added tests for this

3143 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3144 - This release works in combination with
3145 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3146 release because it uses the a new
3147 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3148 complete Role implementation. It has
3149 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3150 the the previous CPAN version. This
3151 release also lacks good updated docs,
3152 the official release will have updated docs.
3155 - refactored the keyword exports
3156 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3157 accepts more than one Role at a time

3168 string enumerations which can be used as
3170 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3173 - more careful checking of params to new()
3176 - much work done on the role composition
3177 - many new tests for conflict detection
3178 and composition edge cases
3179 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3180 looking at the tests
3182 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3183 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3184 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
