1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
9 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
13 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
14 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
16 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
21 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
22 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
24 2.0102 Sat, Jun 18, 2011
28 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
29 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
31 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
35 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
37 2.0101 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
41 * Various packaging issues.
43 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
47 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
48 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
53 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
54 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
55 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
59 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
60 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
61 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
63 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
67 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
68 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
72 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
74 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
78 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
80 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
84 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
85 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
87 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
91 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
93 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
97 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
99 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
100 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
102 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
106 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
107 skips every other role. (rjbs)
109 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
110 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
111 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
112 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
113 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
115 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
119 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
120 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
121 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
124 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
129 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
131 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
132 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
134 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
138 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
139 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
140 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
144 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
145 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
147 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
148 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
150 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
151 environments. (doy, mateu)
153 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
157 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
158 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
159 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
160 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
164 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
165 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
167 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
171 * Update conflicts list.
174 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
178 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
179 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
180 details. (Dave Rolsky)
182 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
183 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
184 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
185 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
186 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
190 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
191 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
192 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
193 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
194 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
197 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
201 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
202 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
204 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
207 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
211 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
212 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
213 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
214 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
216 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
217 immutable classes). (mo)
219 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
220 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
221 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
223 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
227 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
229 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
231 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
235 * Fix some indexing issues.
237 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
239 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
243 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
244 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
245 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
246 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
247 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
249 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
250 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
255 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
256 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
257 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
258 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
260 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
261 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
262 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
266 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
267 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
270 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
274 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
275 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
279 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
283 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
284 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
285 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
286 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
289 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
293 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
296 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
300 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
301 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
302 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
305 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
309 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
310 policy. (Chris Prather)
312 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
313 on this new support policy. (doy)
317 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
318 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
319 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
321 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
322 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
324 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
328 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
329 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
330 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
331 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
334 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
338 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
339 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
342 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
346 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
347 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
349 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
350 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
354 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
355 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
356 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
357 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
358 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
359 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
361 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
362 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
364 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
365 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
366 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
367 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
369 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
370 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
372 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
377 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
378 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
380 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
384 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
385 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
386 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
388 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
392 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
393 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
394 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
396 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
397 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
400 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
401 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
404 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
405 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
406 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
408 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
409 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
414 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
415 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
416 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
417 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
419 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
420 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
422 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
423 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
425 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
426 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
427 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
428 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
430 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
431 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
432 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
435 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
436 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
437 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
438 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
440 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
441 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
444 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
445 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
446 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
448 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
452 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
453 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
454 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
456 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
457 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
458 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
461 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
462 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
463 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
465 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
466 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
467 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
469 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
470 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
474 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
475 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
476 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
478 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
479 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
480 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
481 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
483 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
487 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
488 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
489 value is a reference.
491 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
492 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
494 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
498 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
499 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
500 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
502 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
506 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
507 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
511 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
512 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
513 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
515 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
516 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
517 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
519 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
523 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
525 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
529 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
531 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
532 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
537 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
538 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
540 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
541 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
542 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
543 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
544 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
546 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
547 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
548 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
549 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
551 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
555 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
556 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
561 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
563 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
565 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
570 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
572 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
576 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
577 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
578 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
580 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
581 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
582 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
583 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
585 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
586 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
587 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
588 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
589 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
592 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
597 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
598 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
599 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
600 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
601 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
604 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
608 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
611 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
612 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
616 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
617 function (not just method). (doy)
621 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
622 and aren't easily installable/testable.
624 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
628 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
629 to be overridden more easily (doy).
631 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
635 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
636 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
638 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
642 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
643 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
644 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
646 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
650 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
651 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
652 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
654 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
655 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
659 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
660 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
662 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
663 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
667 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
668 is applied to a class (t0m).
670 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
671 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
673 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
676 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
677 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
679 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
680 be much more robust. (doy)
682 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
684 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
687 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
691 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
692 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
694 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
698 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
699 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
701 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
704 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
705 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
706 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
708 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
709 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
710 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
713 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
715 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
719 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
720 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
724 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
726 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
730 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
731 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
735 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
736 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
740 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
742 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
746 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
747 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
751 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
752 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
756 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
757 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
759 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
763 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
764 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
765 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
768 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
772 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
773 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
774 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
775 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
777 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
781 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
782 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
783 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
787 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
790 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
794 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
795 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
796 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
800 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
801 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
803 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
804 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
805 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
806 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
808 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
812 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
816 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
817 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
819 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
820 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
821 - Moose::Util::does_role
822 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
823 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
824 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
826 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
830 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
831 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
832 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
835 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
839 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
840 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
843 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
847 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
848 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
851 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
855 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
857 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
858 class. (Dave Rolsky).
860 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
861 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
862 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
864 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
865 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
866 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
869 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
870 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
872 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
873 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
874 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
876 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
878 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
879 substr et al, again. (sorear)
881 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
883 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
886 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
887 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
889 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
890 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
892 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
893 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
894 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
895 dependencies installed.
897 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
898 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
901 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
903 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
907 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
909 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
910 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
911 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
913 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
914 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
915 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
917 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
918 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
921 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
922 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
923 others. (nothingmuch)
925 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
926 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
927 remove_accessors. (doy)
929 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
930 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
931 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
933 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
934 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
936 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
937 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
938 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
939 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
942 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
943 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
945 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
946 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
948 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
950 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
951 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
954 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
955 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
956 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
957 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
958 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
960 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
961 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
962 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
963 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
964 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
965 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
966 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
969 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
970 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
971 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
972 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
973 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
975 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
976 which were not receiving the value of
977 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
978 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
979 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
980 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
984 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
985 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
986 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
987 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
988 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
991 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
992 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
993 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
994 - added tests for this (Stevan)
997 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
998 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
999 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1002 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1003 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1004 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1006 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1007 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1008 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1011 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1012 class if you pass it options for
1013 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1014 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1015 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1016 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1017 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1018 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1019 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1020 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1021 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1023 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1024 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1025 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1026 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1027 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1030 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1031 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1032 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1033 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1036 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1037 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1038 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1039 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1040 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1043 * Moose::Error::Croak
1044 * Moose::Error::Confess
1045 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1046 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1049 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1052 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1053 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1054 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1056 * Moose::Meta::Class
1057 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1060 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1061 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1062 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1064 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1065 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1066 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1067 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1068 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1070 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1071 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1074 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1076 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1077 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1080 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1081 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1083 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1084 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1085 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1086 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1088 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1089 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1090 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1091 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1092 using it for new code!
1094 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1095 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1096 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1097 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1099 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1100 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1101 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1102 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1103 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1104 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1105 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1106 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1109 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1112 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1113 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1117 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1120 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1121 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1123 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1124 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1125 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1126 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1128 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1129 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1130 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1132 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1133 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1134 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1137 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1138 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1139 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1140 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1141 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1142 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1144 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1146 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1149 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1150 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1151 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1153 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1154 associated_methods. (hdp)
1155 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1156 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1157 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1158 misspelled) arguments
1160 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1161 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1162 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1163 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1165 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1166 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1167 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1169 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1173 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1174 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1177 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1178 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1180 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1181 * Moose::Meta::Class
1182 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1183 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1185 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1186 * Moose::Manual::Types
1187 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1188 string parsing rathole (mst)
1190 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1191 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1192 using plain objects instead
1194 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1195 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1196 that's what we need.
1198 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1199 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1200 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1201 three times today (perigrin)
1202 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1203 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1205 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1206 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1207 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1208 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1211 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1212 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1213 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1214 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1215 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1216 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1219 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1220 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1221 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1222 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1225 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1227 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1230 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1232 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1235 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1236 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1237 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1241 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1242 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1245 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1246 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1248 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1249 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1250 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1252 * Moose::Unsweetened
1253 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1255 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1256 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1259 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1263 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1264 methods during global destruction (doy)
1266 * Moose::Meta::Class
1267 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1268 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1269 consumption (Sartak)
1271 * Moose::Meta::Class
1272 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1273 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1276 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1277 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1280 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1281 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1283 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1285 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1289 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1290 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1291 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1294 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1295 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1296 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1299 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1301 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1302 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1303 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1306 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1307 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1308 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1309 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1311 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1312 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1313 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1316 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1319 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1320 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1321 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1325 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1326 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1328 * Moose::Meta::Class
1329 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1331 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1333 * Moose::Meta::Class
1334 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1335 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1338 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1339 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1342 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1343 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1346 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1349 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1352 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1355 * Moose::Meta::Class
1356 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1358 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1359 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1362 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1363 * More deprecations and renamings
1364 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1365 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1366 when an object is constructed)
1369 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1370 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1371 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1373 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1374 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1375 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1376 feature, and it works again.
1379 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1381 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1383 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1384 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1385 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1387 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1388 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1389 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1390 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1391 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1393 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1394 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1395 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1396 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1397 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1400 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1401 metaclass object. (hdp)
1403 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1404 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1405 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1406 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1407 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1408 point out this fact. (hdp)
1410 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1411 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1413 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1414 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1416 * Moose::Meta::Class
1417 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1418 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1419 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1420 called during instance construction were passed the
1421 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1422 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1424 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1425 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1428 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1429 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1430 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1433 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1434 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1435 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1436 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1437 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1439 - Moose::Meta::Class
1440 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1442 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1443 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1444 when an object is constructed)
1445 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1447 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1448 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1449 when an object is constructed)
1450 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1451 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1452 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1455 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1457 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1458 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1460 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1462 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1463 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1464 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1466 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1467 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1468 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1470 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1472 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1473 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1475 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1476 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1479 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1480 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1483 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1484 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1485 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1487 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1488 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1492 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1493 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1494 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1496 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1497 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1500 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1501 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1502 with recommended workarounds.
1504 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1505 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1507 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1508 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1509 (yes, spelled like that).
1511 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1512 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1514 * Moose::Meta::Class
1515 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1516 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1518 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1520 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1521 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1522 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1523 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1524 instead. Reported by doy.
1526 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1528 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1529 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1531 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1532 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1533 message) is now deprecated.
1534 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1535 often got it wrong. For example:
1537 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1539 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1543 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1544 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1545 bite you in weird cases.
1547 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1548 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1549 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1550 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1552 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1553 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1557 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1560 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1561 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1564 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1565 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1567 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1568 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1571 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1572 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1573 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1574 - added tests for this (stevan)
1576 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1577 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1578 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1579 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1583 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1584 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1585 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1586 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1588 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1589 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1590 - added tests for this (rafl)
1592 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1593 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1594 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1595 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1599 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1600 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1603 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1604 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1605 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1607 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1609 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1610 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1612 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1613 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1614 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1615 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1616 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1618 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1619 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1620 error message did not specify the attribute name
1623 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1625 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1627 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1628 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1629 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1631 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1632 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1635 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1637 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1638 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1639 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1640 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1642 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1644 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1645 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1646 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1647 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1649 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1650 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1651 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1653 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1654 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1655 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1656 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1657 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1659 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1660 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1661 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1662 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1663 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1665 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1666 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1667 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1668 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1669 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1670 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1672 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1673 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1674 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1675 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1676 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1677 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1679 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1680 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1682 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1683 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1684 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1685 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1687 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1688 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1691 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1695 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1696 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1698 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1699 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1700 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1701 guts. (nothingmuch).
1703 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1704 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1705 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1707 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1708 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1709 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1710 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1712 * Moose::Meta::Class
1713 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1716 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1717 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1719 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1720 * Moose::Unsweetened
1721 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1724 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1725 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1726 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1727 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1728 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1729 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1731 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1732 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1733 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1734 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1735 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1736 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1737 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1738 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1739 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1740 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1742 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1744 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1745 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1747 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1748 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1749 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1750 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1752 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1753 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1754 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1755 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1756 same methods for a single role did not work
1757 right (worked just fine with multiple
1759 - added test for this (stevan)
1761 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1762 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1763 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1766 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1767 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1768 - added test for this (t0m)
1771 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1772 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1773 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1775 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1776 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1777 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1778 - added test for this (t0m)
1780 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1781 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1782 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1783 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1784 - added test for this (perigrin)
1787 - create method for constructing a role
1788 dynamically (Sartak)
1789 - added test for this (Sartak)
1790 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1791 - added test for this (Sartak)
1794 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1796 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1797 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1798 methods is useful (Sartak)
1800 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1801 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1802 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1805 * Moose::Meta::Class
1806 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1807 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1808 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1809 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1810 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1811 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1814 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1815 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1817 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1818 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1819 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1820 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1821 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1823 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1825 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1826 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1827 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1830 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1831 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1832 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1833 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1834 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1835 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1838 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1839 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1840 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1841 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1842 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1843 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1844 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1845 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1846 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1847 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1848 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1850 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1851 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1854 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1855 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1856 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1857 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1858 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1860 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1862 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1863 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1864 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1866 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1867 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1870 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1871 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1872 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1875 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1876 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1878 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1880 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1881 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1883 * Moose::Meta::Class
1884 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1885 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1886 a required attribute
1888 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1889 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1890 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1891 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1893 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1894 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1896 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1897 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1898 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1899 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1900 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1901 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1902 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1903 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1905 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1906 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1907 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1909 * Roles and role application
1910 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1911 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1912 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1913 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1914 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1916 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1917 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1920 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1921 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1922 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1923 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1924 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1927 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1928 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1929 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1930 changes in the Moose internals.
1932 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1933 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1934 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1937 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1938 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1939 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1940 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1942 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1943 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1944 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1945 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1947 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1948 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1949 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1950 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1951 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1952 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1953 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1954 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1955 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1956 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1957 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1958 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1959 constraint implementations.
1961 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1965 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1966 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1967 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1968 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1969 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1970 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1971 - added tests for this (rafl)
1973 * Moose::Meta::Class
1974 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1975 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1976 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1977 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1978 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1979 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1980 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1981 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1984 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1985 - added tests for this (thepler)
1987 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1988 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1989 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1990 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1993 * Moose::Meta::Class
1994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1995 * Moose::Meta::Method
1998 * Moose::Error::Default
1999 * Moose::Error::Croak
2000 * Moose::Error::Confess
2001 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2002 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2003 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2004 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2005 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2006 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2008 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2010 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2011 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2013 * Moose::Unsweetened
2014 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2015 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2016 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2018 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2019 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2020 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2021 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2022 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2025 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2026 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2028 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2029 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2030 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2031 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2034 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2036 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2037 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2039 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2042 - Various bug fixes.
2044 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2045 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2047 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2049 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2050 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2051 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2052 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2053 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2054 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2056 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2057 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2058 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2060 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2061 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2062 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2065 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2066 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP

2205 ... this is not my day today ...
2207 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2208 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2209 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2210 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2211 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2214 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2215 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2216 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2257 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2258 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2259 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2260 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2261 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2262 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2263 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2264 - added tests for this
2266 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2267 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2761 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2762 used in this process
2763 - new Composite role metaclass
2764 - runtime application of roles to instances
2765 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2766 classes when applicable
2768 * <<New Role composition features>>
2769 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
2771 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
2772 still retain the original as well)

2775 - added this module (see above)
2777 * Moose::Meta::Class
2778 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
2779 by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct
2781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

2783 an accessor would get (incorrectly) ignored.
2784 Thanks to Sartak for finding this ;)

2787 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2788 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2789 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2790 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2791 Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2794 - type constraint handling
2795 - error handling/messages
2796 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2799 - added this module to support the refactor
2800 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2802 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2803 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2804 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2808 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2810 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2811 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2812 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2814 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2833 types without having to explictly define them
2834 - added tests for this
2836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2837 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2838 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2840 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2841 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2842 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2843 they should inherit the parent's coercion

2847 having to do it all in one place
2848 - added tests for this
2850 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2851 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2852 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2855 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2856 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2857 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2858 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2860 more type coercions for Union types)
2862 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2863 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2864 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2865 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2866 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2867 - added tests for this.
2868 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2869 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2870 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2871 - added tests for this
2872 - added docs for this
2874 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2875 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2876 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2877 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2878 instead it will just return undef.
2879 - added docs for this

2893 with work correctly.
2894 - added tests for this
2897 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2898 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2937 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2940 - fixed how required methods are handled
2941 when they encounter overriden or modified
2942 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2943 - added tests for this
2945 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2946 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2947 the | always creates a union and so is
2948 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2949 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2951 - added more tests for this
2953 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2956 * Parameterized Types
2957 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2958 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2959 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2960 They can also be nested:
2961 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2962 And work with the type unions as well:
2963 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2965 * Better Framework Extendability
2966 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2967 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2968 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2969 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2972 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2973 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2974 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2975 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2978 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2980 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2981 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2984 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

3016 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
3017 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
3019 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
3020 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

3040 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3041 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3043 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3060 (thanks to shlomif).
3062 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3063 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3064 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

3068 - added tests for this
3070 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3071 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

3114 - added tests and docs for this
3117 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3118 so that required methods can come from superclasses

3121 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3122 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3123 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3132 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3133 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3134 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3135 prototypes for functions
3136 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3137 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3147 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3150 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3151 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3152 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3153 - added tests for this
3155 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3157 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3175 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3176 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3178 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3179 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3181 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3182 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3183 so this release is just to fix that.
3186 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3187 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3188 (thanks to konobi for this)
3189 - added tests and docs
3191 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3192 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3194 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3195 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3196 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3197 - added tests for this

3199 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3200 functions to facilitate introspection.
3202 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3203 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3204 to build the list of delegated methods
3205 correctly (and not override important
3206 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3208 - added tests and docs for this
3209 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3210 so that you can actually document your
3211 attributes and inspect them through the
3213 - added tests and docs for this
3215 * Moose::Meta::Class
3216 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3217 it will first look in for the class in the
3218 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3219 then default to just loading $name.
3220 - added tests and docs for this
3222 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3223 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3224 - added test for this
3227 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3228 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3229 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3230 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3232 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3233 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3236 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3238 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3239 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3240 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3243 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3244 !! for this developer release to work !!
3246 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3247 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3248 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3249 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3250 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3251 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3252 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3253 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3254 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3255 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3256 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3258 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3259 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3260 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3261 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3264 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3266 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3267 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3268 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3270 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3272 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3273 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3276 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3277 called unless they actually need to be.
3278 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3279 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3280 DEMOLISH method present.
3282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3283 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3284 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3285 type constraint, which allows for a
3286 hand optimized version of the type
3287 constraint to be used when possible.
3288 - Any internally created type constraints
3289 now provide an optimized version as well.
3291 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3293 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3294 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3295 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3297 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3298 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3299 your class namespace of these exported
3302 * Moose::Meta::Class
3303 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3304 comes up during global destruction
3306 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3310 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3314 - changed how we do type checks so that
3315 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3318 - moved accessor generation methods to
3319 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3320 conform to the API changes from
3323 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3324 - changed how constraints are compiled
3325 so that we do less recursion and more
3326 iteration. This makes the type check
3328 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3331 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3332 - created this from methods formerly found in
3333 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3335 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3336 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3338 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3339 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3341 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3342 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3344 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3347 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3348 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3349 - added tests for this
3350 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3351 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3352 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3353 - removed tests for this
3355 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3357 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3358 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3359 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3362 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3363 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3364 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3366 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3367 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3368 comments for more info.
3371 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3372 asked questions and common problems
3374 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3375 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3376 - added tests for this
3378 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3379 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3380 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3381 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3383 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3384 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3387 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3388 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3389 is much appreciated :)
3390 - added tests for this
3392 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3393 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3394 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3397 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3398 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3400 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3402 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3403 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3407 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3408 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3409 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3411 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3413 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3416 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3417 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3418 keywords because we need to localize them.
3419 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3421 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3422 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3423 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3426 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3430 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3431 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3434 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3435 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3436 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3438 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3440 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3441 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3442 bottom of your class file.
3445 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3448 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3450 - improved error message when loading modules so
3451 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3452 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3453 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3456 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3457 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3458 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3461 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3463 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3464 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3465 turn them on for you.
3466 - added tests for this
3467 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3468 in Moose::Meta::Class
3471 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3472 automatically turned on for you.
3473 - added tests for this
3476 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3477 - added tests for this
3478 - added some more edge case tests

3495 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3496 - This release works in combination with
3497 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3498 release because it uses the a new
3499 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3500 complete Role implementation. It has
3501 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3502 the the previous CPAN version. This
3503 release also lacks good updated docs,
3504 the official release will have updated docs.
3507 - refactored the keyword exports
3508 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3509 accepts more than one Role at a time
3510 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3511 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3514 - refactored the keyword exports
3515 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3516 accepts more than one Role at a time
3518 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3519 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3520 string enumerations which can be used as
3522 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3525 - more careful checking of params to new()
3528 - much work done on the role composition
3529 - many new tests for conflict detection
3530 and composition edge cases
3531 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3532 looking at the tests
3534 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3535 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3536 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3538 * Moose::Meta::Class
3539 - some small changes to support the new
3541 - some small additions to support Roles
3543 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3544 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3546 - some small changes to support the new
3548 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3549 with the 'handles' option
3550 - added several tests for this
3551 - no docs for this yet

3555 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3556 thanks to chansen for this commit
3557 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3558 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3559 on a per-attribute basis
3560 - added tests for this
