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.
13 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of Test::Exception
15 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
19 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
20 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
21 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
23 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
27 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
28 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
29 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
31 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
32 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
35 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
36 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
39 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
40 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
41 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
43 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
44 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
49 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
50 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
51 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
54 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
55 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
57 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
58 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
60 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
61 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
62 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
65 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
66 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
67 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
70 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
71 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
72 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
73 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
75 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
76 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
79 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
80 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
87 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
88 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
89 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
91 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
92 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
93 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
96 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
97 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
98 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
100 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
101 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
102 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
104 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
105 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
109 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
110 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
111 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
113 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
114 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
115 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
116 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
118 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
122 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
123 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
124 value is a reference.
126 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
127 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
129 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
133 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
134 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
135 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
137 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
141 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
142 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
146 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
147 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
148 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
150 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
151 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
152 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
154 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
158 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
160 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
164 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
166 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
167 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
172 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
173 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
175 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
176 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
177 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
178 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
179 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
181 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
182 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
183 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
184 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
186 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
190 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
191 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
196 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
198 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
200 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
205 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
207 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
211 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
212 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
213 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
215 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
216 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
217 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
218 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
220 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
221 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
222 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
223 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
224 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
227 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
232 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
233 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
234 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
235 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
236 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
239 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
243 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
246 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
247 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
251 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
252 function (not just method). (doy)
256 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
257 and aren't easily installable/testable.
259 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
263 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
264 to be overridden more easily (doy).
266 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
270 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
271 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
273 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
277 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
278 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
279 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
281 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
285 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
286 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
287 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
289 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
290 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
294 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
295 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
297 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
298 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
302 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
303 is applied to a class (t0m).
305 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
306 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
308 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
311 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
312 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
314 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
315 be much more robust. (doy)
317 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
319 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
322 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
326 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
327 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
329 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
333 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
334 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
336 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
339 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
340 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
341 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
343 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
344 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
345 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
348 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
350 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
354 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
355 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
359 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
361 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
365 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
366 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
370 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
371 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
375 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
377 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
381 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
382 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
386 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
387 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
391 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
392 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
394 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
398 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
399 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
400 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
403 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
407 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
408 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
409 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
410 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
412 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
416 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
417 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
418 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
422 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
425 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
429 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
430 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
431 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
435 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
436 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
438 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
439 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
440 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
441 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
443 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
447 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
451 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
452 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
454 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
455 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
456 - Moose::Util::does_role
457 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
458 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
459 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
461 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
465 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
466 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
467 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
470 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
474 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
475 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
478 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
482 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
483 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
486 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
490 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
492 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
493 class. (Dave Rolsky).
495 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
496 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
497 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
499 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
500 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
501 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
504 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
505 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
507 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
508 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
509 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
511 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
513 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
514 substr et al, again. (sorear)
516 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
518 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
521 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
522 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
524 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
525 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
527 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
528 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
529 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
530 dependencies installed.
532 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
533 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
536 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
538 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
542 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
544 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
545 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
546 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
548 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
549 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
550 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
552 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
553 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
556 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
557 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
558 others. (nothingmuch)
560 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
561 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
562 remove_accessors. (doy)
564 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
565 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
566 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
568 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
569 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
571 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
572 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
573 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
574 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
577 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
578 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
580 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
581 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
583 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
585 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
586 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
589 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
590 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
591 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
592 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
593 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
595 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
596 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
597 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
598 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
599 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
600 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
601 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
604 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
605 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
606 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
607 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
608 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
610 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
611 which were not receiving the value of
612 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
613 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
614 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
615 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
619 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
620 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
621 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
622 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
623 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
626 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
627 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
628 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
629 - added tests for this (Stevan)
632 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
633 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
634 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
637 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
638 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
639 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
642 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
643 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
646 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
647 class if you pass it options for
648 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
649 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
650 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
651 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
652 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
653 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
654 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
655 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
656 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
658 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
659 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
660 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
661 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
662 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
665 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
667 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
668 existing delegation API. (hdp)
670 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
671 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
672 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
673 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
674 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
675 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
678 * Moose::Error::Croak
679 * Moose::Error::Confess
680 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
681 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
684 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
687 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
688 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
689 installing a broken sub. (doy)
692 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
695 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
696 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
697 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
699 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
700 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
701 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
702 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
703 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
705 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
706 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
709 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
711 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
712 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
715 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
716 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
718 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
719 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
720 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
721 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
723 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
724 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
725 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
726 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
727 using it for new code!
729 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
730 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
731 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
732 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
734 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
735 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
736 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
737 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
738 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
739 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
740 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
741 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
744 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
747 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
748 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
751 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
752 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
754 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
755 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
756 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
759 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
760 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
761 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
764 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
765 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
767 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
768 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
769 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
772 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
773 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
774 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
775 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
776 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
777 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
779 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
781 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
784 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
785 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
786 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
788 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
789 associated_methods. (hdp)
790 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
791 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
792 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
793 misspelled) arguments
795 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
796 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
797 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
798 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
800 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
801 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
802 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
804 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
807 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
808 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
809 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
812 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
813 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
815 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
817 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
818 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
820 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
821 * Moose::Manual::Types
822 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
823 string parsing rathole (mst)
825 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
826 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
827 using plain objects instead
829 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
830 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
833 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
835 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
836 three times today (perigrin)
837 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
838 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
840 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
841 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
842 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
843 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
846 - A role's required methods are now represented by
847 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
848 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
849 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
850 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
851 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
854 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
855 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
856 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
857 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
860 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
862 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
865 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
867 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
870 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
871 during global destruction. This method has been made more
872 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
876 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
877 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
880 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
881 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
883 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
884 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
885 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
888 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
890 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
891 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
894 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
898 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
899 methods during global destruction (doy)
902 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
903 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
907 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
908 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
911 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
912 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
915 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
916 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
918 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
920 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
924 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
925 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
926 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
929 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
930 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
931 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
934 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
936 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
937 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
938 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
941 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
942 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
943 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
944 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
946 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
947 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
948 of the Moose core (Sartak)
951 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
954 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
955 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
956 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
960 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
961 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
964 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
966 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
969 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
970 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
973 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
974 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
977 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
978 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
981 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
984 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
986 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
987 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
991 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
993 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
994 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
997 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
998 * More deprecations and renamings
999 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1000 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1001 when an object is constructed)
1004 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1005 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1006 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1008 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1009 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1010 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1011 feature, and it works again.
1014 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1016 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1018 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1019 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1020 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1022 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1023 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1024 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1025 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1026 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1028 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1029 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1030 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1031 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1032 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1035 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1036 metaclass object. (hdp)
1038 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1039 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1040 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1041 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1042 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1043 point out this fact. (hdp)
1045 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1046 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1048 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1049 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1051 * Moose::Meta::Class
1052 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1053 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1054 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1055 called during instance construction were passed the
1056 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1057 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1059 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1060 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1063 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1064 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1065 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1068 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1069 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1070 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1071 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1072 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1074 - Moose::Meta::Class
1075 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1077 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1078 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1079 when an object is constructed)
1080 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1082 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1083 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1084 when an object is constructed)
1085 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1086 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1087 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1090 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1092 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1093 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1095 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1097 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1098 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1099 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1101 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1102 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1103 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1105 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1107 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1108 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1110 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1111 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1114 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1115 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1118 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1119 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1120 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1122 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1123 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1127 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1128 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1129 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1131 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1132 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1135 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1136 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1137 with recommended workarounds.
1139 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1140 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1142 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1143 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1144 (yes, spelled like that).
1146 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1147 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1149 * Moose::Meta::Class
1150 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1151 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1153 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1156 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1157 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1158 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1159 instead. Reported by doy.
1161 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1163 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1164 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1166 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1167 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1168 message) is now deprecated.
1169 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1170 often got it wrong. For example:
1172 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1174 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1178 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1179 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1180 bite you in weird cases.
1182 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1183 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1184 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1185 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1187 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1188 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1192 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1195 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1196 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1199 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1200 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1202 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1203 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1206 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1207 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1208 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1209 - added tests for this (stevan)
1211 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1212 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1213 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1214 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1218 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1219 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1220 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1221 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1223 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1224 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1225 - added tests for this (rafl)
1227 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1228 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1229 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1230 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1234 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1235 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1238 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1239 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1240 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1242 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1244 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1245 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1247 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1248 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1249 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1250 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1251 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1253 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1254 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1255 error message did not specify the attribute name
1258 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1260 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1262 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1263 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1264 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1266 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1267 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1270 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1272 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1273 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1274 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1275 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1277 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1279 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1280 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1281 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1282 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1284 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1285 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1286 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1288 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1289 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1290 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1291 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1292 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1294 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1295 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1296 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1297 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1298 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1300 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1301 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1302 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1303 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1304 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1305 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1307 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1308 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1309 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1310 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1311 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1312 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1314 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1315 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1317 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1318 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1319 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1320 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1322 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1323 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1326 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1330 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1331 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1333 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1334 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1335 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1336 guts. (nothingmuch).
1338 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1340 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1343 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1344 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1345 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1347 * Moose::Meta::Class
1348 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1351 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1352 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1354 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1355 * Moose::Unsweetened
1356 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1359 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1360 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1361 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1362 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1363 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1364 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1366 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1367 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1368 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1369 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1370 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1371 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1372 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1373 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1374 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1375 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1377 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1379 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1380 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1382 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1383 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1384 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1385 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1387 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1388 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1389 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1390 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1391 same methods for a single role did not work
1392 right (worked just fine with multiple
1394 - added test for this (stevan)
1396 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1397 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1398 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1401 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1402 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1403 - added test for this (t0m)
1406 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1407 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1408 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1411 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1412 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1413 - added test for this (t0m)
1415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1416 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1417 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1418 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1419 - added test for this (perigrin)
1422 - create method for constructing a role
1423 dynamically (Sartak)
1424 - added test for this (Sartak)
1425 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1426 - added test for this (Sartak)
1429 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1431 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1432 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1433 methods is useful (Sartak)
1435 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1436 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1437 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1440 * Moose::Meta::Class
1441 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1442 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1443 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1444 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1445 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1446 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1449 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1450 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1452 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1453 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1454 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1455 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1456 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1458 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1460 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1461 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1462 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1465 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1466 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1467 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1468 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1469 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1470 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1473 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1474 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1475 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1476 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1477 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1478 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1479 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1480 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1481 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1482 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1483 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1485 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1486 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1489 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1490 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1491 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1492 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1493 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1495 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1497 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1498 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1499 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1501 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1502 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1504 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1505 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1506 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1507 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1510 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1511 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1513 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1515 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1516 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1518 * Moose::Meta::Class
1519 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1520 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1521 a required attribute
1523 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1525 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1526 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1528 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1529 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1531 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1532 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1533 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1534 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1535 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1536 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1537 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1538 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1540 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1541 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1542 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1544 * Roles and role application
1545 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1546 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1547 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1548 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1549 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1551 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1552 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1555 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1556 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1557 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1558 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1559 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1562 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1563 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1564 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1565 changes in the Moose internals.
1567 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1568 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1569 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1572 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1573 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1574 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1575 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1577 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1578 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1579 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1580 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1582 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1583 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1584 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1585 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1586 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1587 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1588 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1589 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1590 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1591 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1592 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1593 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1594 constraint implementations.
1596 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1600 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1601 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1602 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1603 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1604 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1605 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1606 - added tests for this (rafl)
1608 * Moose::Meta::Class
1609 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1610 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1611 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1612 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1613 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1614 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1615 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1616 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1619 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1620 - added tests for this (thepler)
1622 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1623 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1624 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1625 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1628 * Moose::Meta::Class
1629 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1630 * Moose::Meta::Method
1633 * Moose::Error::Default
1634 * Moose::Error::Croak
1635 * Moose::Error::Confess
1636 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1637 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1638 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1639 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1640 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1641 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1643 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1645 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1646 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1648 * Moose::Unsweetened
1649 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1650 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1651 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1653 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1654 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1655 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1656 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1657 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1660 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1661 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1663 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1664 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1665 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1666 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1669 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1671 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1672 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1674 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1677 - Various bug fixes.
1679 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1680 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1682 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1684 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1685 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1686 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1687 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1688 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1689 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1691 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1692 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1693 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1695 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1696 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1697 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1700 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1701 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1702 dependency to 0.64_07.
1704 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1705 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1706 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1709 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1712 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1713 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1714 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1715 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1716 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1717 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1719 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1720 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1722 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1724 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1725 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1729 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1730 method when that method was provided by another role being
1731 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1732 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1734 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1736 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1737 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1739 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1740 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1741 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1742 - added test for this (t0m)
1744 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1745 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1746 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1748 - added test for this (t0m)
1751 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1752 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1753 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1756 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1757 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1759 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1761 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1762 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1764 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1765 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1766 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1768 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1769 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1772 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1773 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1774 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1775 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1779 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1780 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1781 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1784 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1785 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1786 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1787 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1790 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1794 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1795 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1796 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1798 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1799 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1800 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1801 created so that the process can be more easily
1802 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1804 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1805 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1806 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1807 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1809 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1810 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1813 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1814 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1816 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1817 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1818 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1820 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1821 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1822 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1824 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1825 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1827 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1828 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1831 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1832 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1836 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1837 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1839 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1840 ... this is not my day today ...
1842 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1843 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1844 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1845 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1846 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1849 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1850 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1851 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1852 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1853 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1856 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1858 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1859 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1860 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1861 this is not ever something you want to do
1862 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1863 - added tests for this (stevan)
1866 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1868 - added test for this
1870 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1871 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1872 - added tests for this (wreis)
1874 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1875 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1876 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1877 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1879 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1880 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1881 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1884 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1886 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1888 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1891 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1892 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1893 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1894 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1895 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1896 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1897 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1898 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1899 - added tests for this
1901 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1902 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1903 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1904 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1906 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1909 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1910 - added tests for this (sartak)
1911 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1912 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1915 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1917 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1918 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1920 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1921 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1922 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1923 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1925 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1927 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1928 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

1935 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1936 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1937 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1939 - added docs for this (TODO).
1940 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1941 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1942 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1943 - fix builder and default both being used
1948 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1950 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1951 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1952 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1956 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1960 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1961 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1962 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1964 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1965 - move the ClassName type check code to
1966 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1968 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1969 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1971 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1972 (early morning release engineering)--
1974 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1975 which was causing the indexer to choke
1977 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1978 (late night release engineering)--
1980 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1981 changes in this release
1983 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1984 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1985 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1987 * Moose::Meta::Class
1988 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1989 since it is called so often by &meta
1991 * Moose::Meta::Class
1993 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1994 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1997 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1998 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1999 method for immutablization to check if the
2000 destructor object even needs to be created
2003 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2004 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2005 - added more descriptive error message to help
2006 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2007 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2009 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2011 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2012 XS based functionality is now optional
2013 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2014 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2015 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2017 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2018 to take care of this, mostly we added
2019 support for the package_name and name
2020 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2021 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2022 support regexp matching of names
2023 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2024 - tests added for this
2025 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2026 is currently not supported in roles,
2027 but, ... patches welcome
2028 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2029 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2030 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2033 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2034 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2035 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2036 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2037 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2038 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2039 - added test for this
2041 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2042 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2043 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2046 * Moose::Meta::Class
2047 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2051 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2053 - added tests for this
2054 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2055 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2057 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2058 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2059 themselves parameterizable types

2236 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2238 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2239 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2282 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2283 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2576 when they encounter overriden or modified
2577 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2578 - added tests for this

2588 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2591 * Parameterized Types
2592 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2593 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2594 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2595 They can also be nested:
2596 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2597 And work with the type unions as well:
2598 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2600 * Better Framework Extendability
2601 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2602 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2603 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2604 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2607 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2608 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2609 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2610 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2746 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
2747 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
2748 (but not changing the handles option)
2749 - added tests and docs for this
2752 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2753 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2754 - adjusted tests for this
2756 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2757 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2758 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
2759 * Moose::Meta::Class
2760 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
2761 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
2762 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2763 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2764 the other side (perigrin)
2766 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2767 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2768 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2769 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2770 prototypes for functions
2771 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2772 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2773 - added tests and docs for this
2774 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2775 default for where be { 1 }

2780 merlyn for finding this bug
2781 - tests added for this
2782 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2785 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2786 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2787 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2788 - added tests for this
2790 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2792 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2808 * Moose::Meta::Class
2809 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2810 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2811 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2813 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2814 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2816 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2817 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2818 so this release is just to fix that.
2821 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2822 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2823 (thanks to konobi for this)
2824 - added tests and docs
2826 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2834 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2835 functions to facilitate introspection.
2837 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2838 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2839 to build the list of delegated methods
2840 correctly (and not override important
2841 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2843 - added tests and docs for this
2844 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2845 so that you can actually document your
2846 attributes and inspect them through the
2848 - added tests and docs for this
2850 * Moose::Meta::Class
2851 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2852 it will first look in for the class in the
2853 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2854 then default to just loading $name.
2855 - added tests and docs for this
2857 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2858 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2859 - added test for this
2862 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2863 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2864 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2865 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2867 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2868 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2871 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2873 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2874 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2875 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2878 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2879 !! for this developer release to work !!
2881 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2882 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2883 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2884 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2885 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2886 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2887 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2888 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2889 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2890 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2891 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2893 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2894 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2895 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2896 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2899 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2900 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2901 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2902 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2903 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2905 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2907 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2908 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2911 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2912 called unless they actually need to be.
2913 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2914 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2915 DEMOLISH method present.
2917 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2918 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2919 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2920 type constraint, which allows for a
2921 hand optimized version of the type
2922 constraint to be used when possible.
2923 - Any internally created type constraints
2924 now provide an optimized version as well.
2926 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2928 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2929 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2930 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2932 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2933 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2934 your class namespace of these exported
2937 * Moose::Meta::Class
2938 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2939 comes up during global destruction
2941 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2945 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2948 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2949 - changed how we do type checks so that
2950 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2953 - moved accessor generation methods to
2954 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2955 conform to the API changes from
2958 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2959 - changed how constraints are compiled
2960 so that we do less recursion and more
2961 iteration. This makes the type check
2963 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2966 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2967 - created this from methods formerly found in
2968 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2970 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2971 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2973 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2974 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2976 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2977 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2979 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2981 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2982 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2983 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2984 - added tests for this
2985 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2986 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2987 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2988 - removed tests for this
2990 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2992 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2993 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2994 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2997 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2998 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2999 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3001 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3002 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3003 comments for more info.
3006 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3007 asked questions and common problems
3009 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3010 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3011 - added tests for this
3013 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3014 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3015 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3016 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3018 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3019 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3022 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3023 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3024 is much appreciated :)
3025 - added tests for this
3027 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3028 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3029 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3032 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3033 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3035 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3037 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3038 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3042 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3043 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3044 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3046 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3048 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3051 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3052 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3053 keywords because we need to localize them.
3054 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3056 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3057 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3058 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3061 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3064 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3065 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3066 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3069 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3070 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3071 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3073 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3075 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3076 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3077 bottom of your class file.
3080 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3083 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3085 - improved error message when loading modules so
3086 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3087 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3088 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3091 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3092 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3093 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3095 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3096 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3098 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3099 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3100 turn them on for you.
3101 - added tests for this

3130 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3131 - This release works in combination with
3132 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3133 release because it uses the a new
3134 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3135 complete Role implementation. It has
3136 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3137 the the previous CPAN version. This
3138 release also lacks good updated docs,
3139 the official release will have updated docs.
3142 - refactored the keyword exports
3143 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3144 accepts more than one Role at a time

3155 string enumerations which can be used as
3157 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3160 - more careful checking of params to new()
3163 - much work done on the role composition
3164 - many new tests for conflict detection
3165 and composition edge cases
3166 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3167 looking at the tests
3169 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3170 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3171 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3181 - some small changes to support the new
3183 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3184 with the 'handles' option

3192 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3193 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3194 on a per-attribute basis
3195 - added tests for this
