1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
6 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
7 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
10 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
11 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
13 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
14 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
15 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
18 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
19 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
20 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
21 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
22 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
23 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
25 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
27 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
30 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
31 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
32 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
34 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
35 associated_methods. (hdp)
36 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
37 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
38 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
41 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
42 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
43 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
44 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
46 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
47 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
48 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
50 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
53 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
54 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
55 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
58 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
59 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
61 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
63 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
64 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
66 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
67 * Moose::Manual::Types
68 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
69 string parsing rathole (mst)
71 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
72 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
73 using plain objects instead
76 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
81 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
82 three times today (perigrin)
83 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
84 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
86 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
87 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
88 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
89 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
92 - A role's required methods are now represented by
93 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
94 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
95 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
96 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
97 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
100 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
101 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
102 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
103 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
106 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
108 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
111 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
113 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
116 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
117 during global destruction. This method has been made more
118 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
122 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
123 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
126 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
127 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
129 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
130 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
131 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
134 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
136 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
137 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
140 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
144 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
145 methods during global destruction (doy)
148 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
149 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
153 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
154 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
157 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
158 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
161 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
162 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
164 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
166 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
170 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
171 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
172 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
175 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
176 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
177 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
180 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
182 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
183 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
184 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
187 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
188 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
189 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
190 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
192 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
193 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
194 of the Moose core (Sartak)
197 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
200 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
201 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
202 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
206 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
207 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
210 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
212 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
215 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
216 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
219 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
220 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
223 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
224 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
227 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
230 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
232 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
233 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
237 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
239 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
240 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
243 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
244 * More deprecations and renamings
245 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
246 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
247 when an object is constructed)
250 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
251 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
252 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
255 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
256 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
257 feature, and it works again.
260 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
262 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
264 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
265 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
266 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
268 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
269 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
270 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
271 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
272 message. Test provided by perigrin.
274 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
275 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
276 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
277 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
278 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
281 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
282 metaclass object. (hdp)
284 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
285 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
286 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
287 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
288 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
289 point out this fact. (hdp)
291 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
292 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
294 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
295 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
298 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
299 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
300 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
301 called during instance construction were passed the
302 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
303 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
305 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
306 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
309 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
310 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
311 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
314 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
315 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
316 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
317 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
318 them, but they are not for "public" use.
321 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
323 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
324 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
325 when an object is constructed)
326 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
328 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
329 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
330 when an object is constructed)
331 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
332 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
333 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
336 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
338 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
339 * No changes from 0.72_01.
341 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
343 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
344 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
345 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
347 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
348 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
349 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
351 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
353 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
354 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
356 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
357 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
360 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
361 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
364 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
365 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
366 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
368 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
369 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
373 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
374 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
375 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
377 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
378 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
381 * Moose::Manual::Delta
382 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
383 with recommended workarounds.
385 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
386 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
388 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
389 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
390 (yes, spelled like that).
392 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
393 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
396 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
397 changes in latest Class::MOP.
399 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
401 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
402 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
403 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
404 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
405 instead. Reported by doy.
407 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
409 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
410 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
412 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
413 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
414 message) is now deprecated.
415 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
416 often got it wrong. For example:
418 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
420 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
424 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
425 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
426 bite you in weird cases.
428 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
429 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
430 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
433 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
434 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
438 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
441 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
442 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
445 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
446 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
448 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
449 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
452 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
453 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
454 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
455 - added tests for this (stevan)
457 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
458 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
459 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
460 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
464 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
465 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
466 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
467 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
469 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
470 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
471 - added tests for this (rafl)
473 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
474 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
475 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
476 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
480 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
481 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
484 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
485 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
486 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
488 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
490 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
491 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
494 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
495 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
496 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
497 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
499 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
500 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
501 error message did not specify the attribute name
504 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
506 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
508 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
509 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
510 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
512 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
513 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
516 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
518 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
519 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
520 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
521 of fixes and formatting improvements.
523 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
525 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
526 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
527 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
528 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
530 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
531 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
532 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
534 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
535 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
536 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
537 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
538 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
540 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
541 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
542 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
543 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
544 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
546 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
547 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
548 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
549 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
550 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
551 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
553 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
554 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
555 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
556 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
557 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
558 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
560 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
561 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
563 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
564 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
565 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
566 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
568 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
569 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
572 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
576 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
577 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
579 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
580 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
581 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
584 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
586 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
588 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
589 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
590 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
591 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
594 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
597 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
598 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
600 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
602 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
605 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
606 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
607 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
608 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
609 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
610 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
612 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
613 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
614 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
615 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
616 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
617 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
618 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
619 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
620 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
621 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
623 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
625 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
626 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
628 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
629 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
630 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
631 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
633 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
634 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
635 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
636 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
637 same methods for a single role did not work
638 right (worked just fine with multiple
640 - added test for this (stevan)
642 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
643 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
644 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
647 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
648 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
649 - added test for this (t0m)
652 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
653 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
654 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
656 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
657 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
658 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
659 - added test for this (t0m)
661 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
662 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
663 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
664 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
665 - added test for this (perigrin)
668 - create method for constructing a role
670 - added test for this (Sartak)
671 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
672 - added test for this (Sartak)
675 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
677 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
678 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
679 methods is useful (Sartak)
681 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
682 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
683 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
687 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
688 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
689 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
690 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
691 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
692 - added tests for this (jdv79)
695 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
696 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
698 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
699 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
700 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
701 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
702 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
704 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
706 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
707 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
708 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
711 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
712 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
713 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
714 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
715 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
716 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
719 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
720 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
721 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
722 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
723 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
724 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
725 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
726 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
727 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
728 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
729 future. (jnapiorkowski)
731 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
732 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
735 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
736 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
737 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
738 type. (jnapiorkowski)
739 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
741 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
743 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
744 predicate, and link to more details sections in
745 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
747 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
748 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
750 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
751 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
752 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
753 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
756 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
757 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
759 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
761 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
762 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
765 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
766 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
769 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
770 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
771 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
772 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
774 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
775 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
777 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
778 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
779 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
780 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
781 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
782 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
783 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
784 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
786 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
787 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
788 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
790 * Roles and role application
791 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
792 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
793 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
794 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
795 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
797 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
798 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
801 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
802 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
803 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
804 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
805 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
808 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
809 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
810 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
811 changes in the Moose internals.
813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
814 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
815 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
818 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
819 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
820 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
821 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
823 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
824 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
825 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
826 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
828 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
829 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
830 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
831 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
832 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
833 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
834 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
835 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
836 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
837 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
838 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
839 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
840 constraint implementations.
842 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
846 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
847 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
848 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
849 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
850 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
851 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
852 - added tests for this (rafl)
855 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
856 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
857 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
858 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
859 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
860 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
861 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
862 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
865 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
866 - added tests for this (thepler)
868 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
869 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
870 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
871 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
875 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
876 * Moose::Meta::Method
879 * Moose::Error::Default
880 * Moose::Error::Croak
881 * Moose::Error::Confess
882 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
883 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
884 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
885 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
886 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
887 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
889 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
891 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
892 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
895 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
896 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
897 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
899 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
900 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
901 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
902 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
903 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
906 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
907 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
909 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
910 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
911 several major changes in this release of Moose.
912 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
915 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
917 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
918 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
920 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
925 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
926 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
928 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
930 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
931 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
932 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
933 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
934 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
935 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
937 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
938 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
939 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
941 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
942 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
943 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
946 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
947 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
948 dependency to 0.64_07.
950 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
951 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
952 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
954 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
955 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
958 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
959 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
960 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
961 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
962 coincidental exception. (t0m).
963 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
965 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
966 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
968 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
970 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
971 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
975 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
976 method when that method was provided by another role being
977 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
978 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
980 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
982 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
983 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
985 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
986 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
987 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
988 - added test for this (t0m)
990 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
991 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
992 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
994 - added test for this (t0m)
997 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
998 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
999 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1002 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1003 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1005 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1007 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1008 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1010 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1011 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1012 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1014 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1015 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1018 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1019 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1020 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1021 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1025 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1026 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1027 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1030 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1031 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1032 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1033 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1036 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1040 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1041 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1042 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1044 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1045 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1046 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1047 created so that the process can be more easily
1048 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1050 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1051 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1052 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1053 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1055 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1056 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1059 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1060 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1062 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1063 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1064 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1066 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1067 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1068 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1070 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1071 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1073 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1074 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1077 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1078 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1082 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1083 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1085 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1086 ... this is not my day today ...
1088 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1089 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1090 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1091 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1092 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1095 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1096 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1097 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1098 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1099 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1102 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1104 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1105 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1106 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1107 this is not ever something you want to do
1108 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1109 - added tests for this (stevan)
1112 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1114 - added test for this
1116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1122 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1123 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1125 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1126 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1127 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1130 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1132 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1134 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1137 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1138 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1139 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1140 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1141 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1142 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1143 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1144 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1145 - added tests for this
1147 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1148 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1149 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1150 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1152 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1154 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1155 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1156 - added tests for this (sartak)
1157 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1158 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1161 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1163 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1164 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)

1167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1168 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1169 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1171 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1173 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1174 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1177 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1178 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1179 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1181 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1182 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1183 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1185 - added docs for this (TODO).
1186 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1187 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1188 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1189 - fix builder and default both being used
1194 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1196 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite

1207 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1208 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1210 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1211 - move the ClassName type check code to
1212 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1214 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1215 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1217 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1218 (early morning release engineering)--
1220 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1221 which was causing the indexer to choke
1223 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1224 (late night release engineering)--
1226 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1227 changes in this release
1229 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1230 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1231 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1233 * Moose::Meta::Class
1234 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1235 since it is called so often by &meta
1237 * Moose::Meta::Class
1239 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1240 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1244 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1245 method for immutablization to check if the
1246 destructor object even needs to be created
1249 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1250 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1251 - added more descriptive error message to help
1252 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1253 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1255 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1257 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1258 XS based functionality is now optional
1259 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1260 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1261 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1263 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1264 to take care of this, mostly we added
1265 support for the package_name and name
1266 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1267 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1268 support regexp matching of names
1269 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1270 - tests added for this
1271 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1272 is currently not supported in roles,
1273 but, ... patches welcome
1274 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1275 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1276 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1279 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1280 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1281 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1282 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1283 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1284 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1285 - added test for this
1287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1288 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1289 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1292 * Moose::Meta::Class
1293 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1297 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1299 - added tests for this
1300 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1301 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1303 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1304 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1305 themselves parameterizable types
1307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1308 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1309 called by the inlined immutable
1311 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1313 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1314 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1315 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1316 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1318 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1319 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1323 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1324 causing occasional cpantester failures
1325 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1326 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1328 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1330 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1331 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1334 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1335 ->body when looping through the
1336 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1338 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1339 eating the $@ values, and so not
1340 working correctly, it still kind of
1341 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1342 - added tests for this
1344 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1345 - added new recipe for immutable
1346 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1348 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1349 - added new recipe for builder and
1350 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1352 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1353 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1354 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1357 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1359 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1360 since Module::Install has done that.
1362 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1364 drink more coffee before
1365 doing release engineering
1367 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1368 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1369 modules. This fixes that.
1371 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1372 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1373 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1375 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1376 since we have tests which need the C3
1379 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1380 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1382 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1383 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1385 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1386 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1387 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1388 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1394 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1395 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
1397 * Moose::Meta::Class
1398 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
1399 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1401 - added test for this
1403 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1404 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
1405 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
1406 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
1407 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
1408 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
1410 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor

1482 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1484 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1775 - added tests for this
1778 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1779 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1821 - fixed how required methods are handled
1822 when they encounter overriden or modified
1823 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1824 - added tests for this
1826 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1827 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1828 the | always creates a union and so is
1829 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1830 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

1834 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1837 * Parameterized Types
1838 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1839 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1840 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1841 They can also be nested:
1842 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1843 And work with the type unions as well:
1844 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1846 * Better Framework Extendability
1847 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1848 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1849 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1850 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1853 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1854 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1855 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1856 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2079 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2080 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2081 functions to facilitate introspection.
2083 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2084 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2085 to build the list of delegated methods
2086 correctly (and not override important
2087 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2089 - added tests and docs for this
2090 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2091 so that you can actually document your
2092 attributes and inspect them through the
2094 - added tests and docs for this
2096 * Moose::Meta::Class
2097 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2098 it will first look in for the class in the
2099 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2100 then default to just loading $name.
2101 - added tests and docs for this
2103 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2104 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2105 - added test for this
2108 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2109 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2110 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2111 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2113 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2114 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2117 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2119 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2120 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2121 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2124 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2125 !! for this developer release to work !!
2127 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2128 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2129 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2130 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2131 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2132 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2133 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2134 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2135 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2136 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2137 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2139 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2140 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2141 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2142 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2145 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2146 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2147 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2148 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2149 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2151 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2153 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2154 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2157 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2158 called unless they actually need to be.
2159 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2160 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2161 DEMOLISH method present.
2163 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2164 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2165 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2166 type constraint, which allows for a
2167 hand optimized version of the type
2168 constraint to be used when possible.
2169 - Any internally created type constraints
2170 now provide an optimized version as well.
2172 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2174 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2175 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2176 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2178 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2179 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2180 your class namespace of these exported
2183 * Moose::Meta::Class
2184 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2185 comes up during global destruction
2187 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2191 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2194 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2195 - changed how we do type checks so that
2196 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2199 - moved accessor generation methods to
2200 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2201 conform to the API changes from
2204 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2205 - changed how constraints are compiled
2206 so that we do less recursion and more
2207 iteration. This makes the type check
2209 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2212 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2213 - created this from methods formerly found in
2214 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2216 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2217 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2219 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2220 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2222 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2223 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2225 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2227 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2228 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2229 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2230 - added tests for this
2231 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2232 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2233 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2234 - removed tests for this
2236 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2238 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2239 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2240 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2243 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2244 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2245 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2247 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2248 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2249 comments for more info.
2252 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2253 asked questions and common problems
2255 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2256 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2257 - added tests for this
2259 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2260 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2261 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2262 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2264 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2265 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2268 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2269 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2270 is much appreciated :)
2271 - added tests for this
2273 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2274 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2275 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2278 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2279 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2281 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2283 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2284 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2288 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2289 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2290 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2292 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2294 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2297 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2298 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2299 keywords because we need to localize them.
2300 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2302 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2303 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2304 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2307 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2310 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2311 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2312 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2315 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2316 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2317 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2319 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2321 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2322 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2323 bottom of your class file.
2326 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2329 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2331 - improved error message when loading modules so
2332 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2333 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2334 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2337 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2338 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2339 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2341 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2342 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2344 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2345 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2346 turn them on for you.
2347 - added tests for this
2348 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2349 in Moose::Meta::Class
2352 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2353 automatically turned on for you.

2376 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2377 - This release works in combination with
2378 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2379 release because it uses the a new
2380 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2381 complete Role implementation. It has
2382 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2383 the the previous CPAN version. This
2384 release also lacks good updated docs,
2385 the official release will have updated docs.
2388 - refactored the keyword exports
2389 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2390 accepts more than one Role at a time
2391 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2392 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2395 - refactored the keyword exports
2396 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2397 accepts more than one Role at a time
2399 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2400 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2401 string enumerations which can be used as
2403 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2406 - more careful checking of params to new()
2409 - much work done on the role composition
2410 - many new tests for conflict detection
2411 and composition edge cases
2412 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2413 looking at the tests
2415 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2416 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2417 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2419 * Moose::Meta::Class
2420 - some small changes to support the new
2422 - some small additions to support Roles
2424 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2425 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2427 - some small changes to support the new
2429 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2430 with the 'handles' option
2431 - added several tests for this
2432 - no docs for this yet
2434 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2436 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2437 thanks to chansen for this commit
2438 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2439 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2440 on a per-attribute basis
2441 - added tests for this
2442 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2443 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2444 experimental feature and probably not finished

2446 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2447 - added tests for this

2509 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2511 - added test for this
2514 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
