1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
10 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
12 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
16 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
17 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
19 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
23 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
25 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
29 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
31 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
32 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
34 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
38 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
39 skips every other role. (rjbs)
41 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
42 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
43 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
44 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
45 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
47 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
51 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
52 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
53 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
56 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
61 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
63 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
64 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
66 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
70 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
71 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
72 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
76 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
77 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
79 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
80 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
82 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
83 environments. (doy, mateu)
85 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
89 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
90 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
91 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
92 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
96 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
97 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
99 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
103 * Update conflicts list.
106 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
110 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
111 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
112 details. (Dave Rolsky)
114 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
115 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
116 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
117 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
118 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
122 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
123 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
124 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
125 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
126 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
129 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
133 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
134 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
136 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
139 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
143 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
144 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
145 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
146 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
148 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
149 immutable classes). (mo)
151 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
152 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
153 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
155 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
159 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
161 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
163 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
167 * Fix some indexing issues.
169 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
171 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
175 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
176 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
177 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
178 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
179 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
181 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
182 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
187 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
188 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
189 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
190 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
192 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
193 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
194 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
198 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
199 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
202 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
206 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
207 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
211 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
215 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
216 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
217 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
218 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
221 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
225 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
228 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
232 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
233 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
234 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
237 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
241 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
242 policy. (Chris Prather)
244 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
245 on this new support policy. (doy)
249 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
250 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
251 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
253 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
254 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
256 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
260 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
261 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
262 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
263 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
266 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
270 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
271 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
274 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
278 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
279 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
281 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
282 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
286 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
287 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
288 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
289 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
290 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
291 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
293 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
294 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
296 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
297 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
298 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
299 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
301 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
302 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
304 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
309 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
310 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
312 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
316 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
317 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
318 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
320 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
324 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
325 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
326 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
328 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
329 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
332 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
333 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
336 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
337 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
338 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
340 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
341 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
346 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
347 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
348 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
349 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
351 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
352 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
354 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
355 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
357 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
358 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
359 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
360 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
362 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
363 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
364 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
367 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
368 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
369 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
370 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
372 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
373 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
376 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
377 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
378 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
380 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
384 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
385 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
386 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
388 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
389 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
390 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
393 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
394 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
395 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
397 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
398 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
399 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
401 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
402 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
406 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
407 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
408 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
410 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
411 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
412 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
413 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
415 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
419 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
420 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
421 value is a reference.
423 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
424 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
426 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
430 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
431 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
432 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
434 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
438 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
439 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
443 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
444 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
445 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
447 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
448 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
449 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
451 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
455 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
457 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
461 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
463 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
464 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
469 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
470 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
472 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
473 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
474 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
475 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
476 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
478 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
479 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
480 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
481 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
483 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
487 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
488 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
493 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
495 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
497 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
502 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
504 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
508 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
509 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
510 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
512 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
513 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
514 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
515 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
517 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
518 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
519 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
520 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
521 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
524 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
529 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
530 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
531 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
532 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
533 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
536 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
540 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
543 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
544 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
548 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
549 function (not just method). (doy)
553 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
554 and aren't easily installable/testable.
556 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
560 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
561 to be overridden more easily (doy).
563 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
567 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
568 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
570 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
574 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
575 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
576 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
578 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
582 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
583 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
584 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
586 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
587 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
591 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
592 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
594 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
595 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
599 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
600 is applied to a class (t0m).
602 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
603 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
605 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
608 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
609 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
611 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
612 be much more robust. (doy)
614 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
616 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
619 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
623 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
624 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
626 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
630 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
631 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
633 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
636 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
637 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
638 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
640 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
641 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
642 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
645 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
647 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
651 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
652 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
656 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
658 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
662 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
663 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
667 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
668 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
672 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
674 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
678 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
679 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
683 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
684 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
688 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
689 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
691 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
695 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
696 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
697 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
700 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
704 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
705 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
706 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
707 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
709 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
713 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
714 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
715 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
719 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
722 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
726 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
727 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
728 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
732 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
733 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
735 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
736 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
737 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
738 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
740 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
744 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
748 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
749 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
751 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
752 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
753 - Moose::Util::does_role
754 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
755 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
756 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
758 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
762 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
763 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
764 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
767 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
771 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
772 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
775 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
779 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
780 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
783 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
787 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
789 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
790 class. (Dave Rolsky).
792 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
793 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
794 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
796 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
797 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
798 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
801 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
802 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
804 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
805 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
806 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
808 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
810 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
811 substr et al, again. (sorear)
813 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
815 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
818 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
819 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
821 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
822 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
824 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
825 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
826 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
827 dependencies installed.
829 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
830 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
833 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
835 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
839 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
841 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
842 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
843 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
845 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
846 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
847 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
849 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
850 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
853 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
854 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
855 others. (nothingmuch)
857 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
858 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
859 remove_accessors. (doy)
861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
862 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
863 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
865 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
866 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
868 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
870 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
871 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
874 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
875 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
878 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
880 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
882 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
883 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
886 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
887 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
888 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
889 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
890 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
892 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
893 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
894 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
895 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
896 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
897 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
898 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
901 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
902 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
903 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
904 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
905 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
907 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
908 which were not receiving the value of
909 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
910 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
911 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
912 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
916 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
917 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
918 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
919 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
920 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
923 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
924 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
925 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
926 - added tests for this (Stevan)
929 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
930 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
931 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
934 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
935 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
936 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
938 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
939 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
940 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
943 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
944 class if you pass it options for
945 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
946 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
947 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
948 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
949 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
950 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
951 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
952 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
953 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
955 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
956 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
957 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
958 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
959 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
962 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
963 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
964 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
965 existing delegation API. (hdp)
967 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
968 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
969 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
970 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
971 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
972 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
975 * Moose::Error::Croak
976 * Moose::Error::Confess
977 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
978 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
981 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
984 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
985 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
986 installing a broken sub. (doy)
989 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
992 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
993 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
994 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
996 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
997 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
998 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
999 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1000 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1002 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1003 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1006 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1008 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1009 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1012 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1013 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1015 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1016 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1017 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1018 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1020 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1021 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1022 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1023 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1024 using it for new code!
1026 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1027 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1028 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1029 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1031 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1032 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1033 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1034 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1035 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1036 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1037 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1038 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1041 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1044 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1045 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1048 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1049 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1051 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1052 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1053 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1055 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1056 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1057 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1058 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1060 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1061 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1062 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1064 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1065 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1066 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1069 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1070 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1071 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1072 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1073 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1074 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1076 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1078 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1081 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1082 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1083 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1085 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1086 associated_methods. (hdp)
1087 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1088 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1089 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1090 misspelled) arguments
1092 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1093 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1094 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1095 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1097 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1098 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1099 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1101 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1104 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1105 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1106 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1109 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1110 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1112 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1113 * Moose::Meta::Class
1114 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1115 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1117 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1118 * Moose::Manual::Types
1119 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1120 string parsing rathole (mst)
1122 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1123 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1124 using plain objects instead
1126 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1127 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1128 that's what we need.
1130 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1131 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1132 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1133 three times today (perigrin)
1134 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1135 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1137 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1138 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1139 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1140 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1143 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1144 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1145 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1146 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1147 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1148 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1151 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1152 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1153 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1154 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1157 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1159 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1162 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1164 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1167 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1168 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1169 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1173 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1174 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1177 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1178 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1180 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1181 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1182 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1184 * Moose::Unsweetened
1185 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1187 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1188 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1191 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1195 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1196 methods during global destruction (doy)
1198 * Moose::Meta::Class
1199 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1200 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1201 consumption (Sartak)
1203 * Moose::Meta::Class
1204 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1205 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1208 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1209 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1212 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1213 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1215 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1217 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1221 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1222 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1223 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1226 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1227 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1228 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1231 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1233 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1234 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1235 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1238 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1239 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1240 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1241 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1243 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1244 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1245 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1248 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1251 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1252 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1253 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1257 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1258 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1260 * Moose::Meta::Class
1261 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1263 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1265 * Moose::Meta::Class
1266 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1267 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1270 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1271 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1274 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1275 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1278 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1281 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1283 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1284 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1287 * Moose::Meta::Class
1288 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1290 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1291 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1294 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1295 * More deprecations and renamings
1296 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1297 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1298 when an object is constructed)
1301 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1302 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1303 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1305 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1306 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1307 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1308 feature, and it works again.
1311 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1313 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1315 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1316 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1317 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1319 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1320 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1321 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1322 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1323 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1325 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1326 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1327 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1328 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1329 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1332 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1333 metaclass object. (hdp)
1335 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1336 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1337 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1338 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1339 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1340 point out this fact. (hdp)
1342 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1343 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1345 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1346 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1348 * Moose::Meta::Class
1349 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1350 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1351 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1352 called during instance construction were passed the
1353 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1354 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1356 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1357 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1360 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1361 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1362 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1365 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1366 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1367 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1368 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1369 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1371 - Moose::Meta::Class
1372 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1374 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1375 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1376 when an object is constructed)
1377 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1379 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1380 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1381 when an object is constructed)
1382 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1383 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1384 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1387 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1389 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1390 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1392 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1394 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1395 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1396 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1399 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1400 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1402 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1404 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1405 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1407 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1408 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1411 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1412 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1415 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1416 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1417 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1420 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1424 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1425 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1426 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1428 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1429 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1432 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1433 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1434 with recommended workarounds.
1436 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1437 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1439 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1440 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1441 (yes, spelled like that).
1443 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1444 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1446 * Moose::Meta::Class
1447 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1448 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1450 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1452 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1453 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1454 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1455 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1456 instead. Reported by doy.
1458 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1460 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1461 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1463 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1464 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1465 message) is now deprecated.
1466 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1467 often got it wrong. For example:
1469 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1471 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1475 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1476 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1477 bite you in weird cases.
1479 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1480 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1481 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1482 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1484 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1485 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1489 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1492 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1493 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1496 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1497 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1500 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1503 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1504 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1505 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1506 - added tests for this (stevan)
1508 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1509 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1510 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1511 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1515 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1516 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1517 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1518 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1520 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1521 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1522 - added tests for this (rafl)
1524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1525 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1526 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1527 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1531 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1532 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1535 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1536 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1537 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1539 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1541 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1542 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1544 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1545 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1546 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1547 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1548 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1550 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1551 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1552 error message did not specify the attribute name
1555 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1557 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1559 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1560 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1561 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1563 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1564 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1567 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1569 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1570 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1571 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1572 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1574 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1576 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1577 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1578 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1579 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1581 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1582 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1583 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1585 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1586 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1587 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1588 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1589 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1591 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1592 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1593 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1594 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1595 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1597 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1598 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1599 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1600 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1601 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1602 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1604 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1605 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1606 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1607 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1608 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1609 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1611 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1612 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1614 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1615 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1616 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1617 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1619 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1620 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1623 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1627 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1628 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1630 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1631 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1632 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1633 guts. (nothingmuch).
1635 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1636 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1637 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1640 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1641 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1642 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1644 * Moose::Meta::Class
1645 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1648 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1649 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1651 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1652 * Moose::Unsweetened
1653 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1656 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1657 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1658 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1659 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1660 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1661 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1663 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1664 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1665 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1666 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1667 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1668 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1669 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1670 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1671 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1672 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1674 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1676 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1677 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1679 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1680 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1681 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1682 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1684 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1685 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1686 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1687 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1688 same methods for a single role did not work
1689 right (worked just fine with multiple
1691 - added test for this (stevan)
1693 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1694 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1695 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1698 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1699 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1700 - added test for this (t0m)
1703 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1704 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1705 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1707 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1708 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1709 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1710 - added test for this (t0m)
1712 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1713 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1714 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1715 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1716 - added test for this (perigrin)
1719 - create method for constructing a role
1720 dynamically (Sartak)
1721 - added test for this (Sartak)
1722 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1723 - added test for this (Sartak)
1726 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1728 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1729 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1730 methods is useful (Sartak)
1732 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1733 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1734 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1737 * Moose::Meta::Class
1738 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1739 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1740 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1741 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1742 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1743 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1746 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1747 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1749 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1750 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1751 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1752 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1753 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1755 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1757 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1758 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1759 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1762 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1763 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1764 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1765 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1766 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1767 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1770 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1771 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1772 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1773 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1774 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1775 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1776 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1777 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1778 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1779 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1780 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1782 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1783 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1786 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1787 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1788 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1789 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1790 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1792 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1794 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1795 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1796 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1798 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1799 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1801 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1802 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1803 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1804 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1807 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1808 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1810 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1812 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1813 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1815 * Moose::Meta::Class
1816 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1817 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1818 a required attribute
1820 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1821 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1822 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1823 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1825 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1826 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1828 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1829 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1830 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1831 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1832 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1833 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1834 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1835 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1837 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1838 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1839 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1841 * Roles and role application
1842 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1843 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1844 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1845 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1846 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1848 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1849 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1852 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1853 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1854 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1855 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1856 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1859 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1860 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1861 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1862 changes in the Moose internals.
1864 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1865 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1866 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1869 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1870 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1871 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1872 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1874 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1875 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1876 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1877 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1880 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1881 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1882 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1883 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1884 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1885 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1886 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1887 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1888 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1889 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1890 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1891 constraint implementations.
1893 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1897 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1898 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1899 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1900 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1901 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1902 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1903 - added tests for this (rafl)
1905 * Moose::Meta::Class
1906 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1907 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1908 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1909 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1910 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1911 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1912 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1913 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1916 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1917 - added tests for this (thepler)
1919 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1920 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1921 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1922 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1925 * Moose::Meta::Class
1926 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1927 * Moose::Meta::Method
1930 * Moose::Error::Default
1931 * Moose::Error::Croak
1932 * Moose::Error::Confess
1933 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1934 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1935 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1936 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1937 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1938 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1940 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1942 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1943 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1945 * Moose::Unsweetened
1946 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1947 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1948 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1950 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1951 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1952 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1953 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1954 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1957 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1958 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1960 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1961 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1962 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1963 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1966 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1968 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1969 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1971 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1974 - Various bug fixes.
1976 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1977 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1979 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1981 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1982 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1983 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1984 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1985 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1986 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1988 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1989 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1990 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1992 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1993 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1994 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1997 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1998 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1999 dependency to 0.64_07.
2001 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2002 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2003 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2005 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2006 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2009 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2010 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2011 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2012 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2013 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2014 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2017 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2019 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2021 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2022 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2026 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2027 method when that method was provided by another role being
2028 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2029 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2031 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2033 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2034 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2036 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2037 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2038 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2039 - added test for this (t0m)
2041 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2042 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2043 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2045 - added test for this (t0m)
2048 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2049 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2050 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2053 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2054 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2056 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2059 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2061 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2062 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2063 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

2136 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2137 ... this is not my day today ...
2139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2140 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2141 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2142 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2143 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2146 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2147 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2148 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2149 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2150 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2153 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2155 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2156 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2188 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2189 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2190 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2191 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2192 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2193 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2194 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2195 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2196 - added tests for this
2198 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2199 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2200 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2274 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2275 (late night release engineering)--
2277 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2278 changes in this release

2306 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2308 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2309 XS based functionality is now optional
2310 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2311 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2312 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2415 drink more coffee before
2416 doing release engineering
2418 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2533 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2535 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2759 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2760 - added tests for this
2762 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2764 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2765 types without having to explictly define them
2766 - added tests for this
2768 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2769 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2770 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2772 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2773 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2774 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2775 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2776 - added tests for this
2777 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2778 a single type at different times instead of
2779 having to do it all in one place
2780 - added tests for this
2782 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2783 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2784 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2787 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2788 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2789 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2790 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2791 new features above (although you cannot add
2792 more type coercions for Union types)
2794 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2795 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2796 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2798 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2799 - added tests for this.
2800 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2801 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2802 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2803 - added tests for this
2804 - added docs for this
2806 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2807 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2808 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2809 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2810 instead it will just return undef.
2811 - added docs for this
2813 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2825 with work correctly.
2826 - added tests for this
2829 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2830 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2833 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2834 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2835 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2837 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2848 0.28 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2849 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2851 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2869 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2872 - fixed how required methods are handled
2873 when they encounter overriden or modified
2874 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2875 - added tests for this
2877 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2878 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2879 the | always creates a union and so is
2880 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2881 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2883 - added more tests for this
2885 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2888 * Parameterized Types
2889 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2890 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2891 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2892 They can also be nested:
2893 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2894 And work with the type unions as well:
2895 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2897 * Better Framework Extendability
2898 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2899 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2900 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2901 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2904 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2905 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2906 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2907 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2910 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2912 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2913 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2916 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2944 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2946 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2947 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2948 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2949 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2951 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2952 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2953 - updated the accompanying test as well
2955 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2956 +++ with new features added as well +++
2958 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2959 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2960 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of

2962 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2964 - added tests for this
2966 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2972 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2973 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2975 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2976 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2977 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2978 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2992 (thanks to shlomif).
2994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2995 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2996 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2997 - added tests for this

3000 - added tests for this
3002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3003 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

3034 - added tests for these
3036 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3037 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3039 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3040 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3041 to the 'handles' option.
3042 - added tests and docs for this

3045 (but not changing the handles option)
3046 - added tests and docs for this
3049 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3050 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3051 - adjusted tests for this
3053 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3054 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3055 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3061 the other side (perigrin)
3063 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3064 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3065 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3066 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3067 prototypes for functions
3068 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3069 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3079 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3082 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3083 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3084 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3085 - added tests for this
3087 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3089 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3102 where not handled correctly in roles
3103 - added tests for this
3105 * Moose::Meta::Class
3106 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3107 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3108 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3110 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3111 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3113 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3114 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3115 so this release is just to fix that.
3118 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3119 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3120 (thanks to konobi for this)
3121 - added tests and docs
3123 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3124 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3126 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3127 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3128 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3129 - added tests for this

3131 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3132 functions to facilitate introspection.
3134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3135 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3136 to build the list of delegated methods
3137 correctly (and not override important
3138 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3140 - added tests and docs for this
3141 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3142 so that you can actually document your
3143 attributes and inspect them through the
3145 - added tests and docs for this
3147 * Moose::Meta::Class
3148 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3149 it will first look in for the class in the
3150 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3151 then default to just loading $name.
3152 - added tests and docs for this
3154 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3155 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3156 - added test for this
3159 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3160 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3161 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3162 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3164 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3165 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3168 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3170 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3171 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3172 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3175 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3176 !! for this developer release to work !!
3178 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3179 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3180 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3181 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3182 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3183 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3184 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3185 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3186 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3187 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3188 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3190 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3191 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3192 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3193 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3196 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3197 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3198 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3199 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3200 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3202 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3204 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3205 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3208 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3209 called unless they actually need to be.
3210 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3211 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3212 DEMOLISH method present.
3214 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3215 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3216 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3217 type constraint, which allows for a
3218 hand optimized version of the type
3219 constraint to be used when possible.
3220 - Any internally created type constraints
3221 now provide an optimized version as well.
3223 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3225 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3226 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3227 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3229 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3230 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3231 your class namespace of these exported
3234 * Moose::Meta::Class
3235 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3236 comes up during global destruction
3238 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3242 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3246 - changed how we do type checks so that
3247 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3250 - moved accessor generation methods to
3251 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3252 conform to the API changes from
3255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3256 - changed how constraints are compiled
3257 so that we do less recursion and more
3258 iteration. This makes the type check
3260 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3263 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3264 - created this from methods formerly found in
3265 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3267 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3268 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3270 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3271 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3273 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3274 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3276 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3279 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3280 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3281 - added tests for this
3282 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3283 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3284 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3285 - removed tests for this
3287 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3289 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3290 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3291 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3294 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3295 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3296 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3298 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3299 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3300 comments for more info.
3303 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3304 asked questions and common problems
3306 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3307 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3308 - added tests for this
3310 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3311 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3312 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3313 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3315 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3316 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3319 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3320 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3321 is much appreciated :)
3322 - added tests for this
3324 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3325 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3326 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3329 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3330 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3332 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3334 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3335 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3339 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3340 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3341 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3343 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3345 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3348 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3349 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3350 keywords because we need to localize them.
3351 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3353 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3354 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3355 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3358 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3361 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3362 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3363 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3366 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3367 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3368 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3370 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3372 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3373 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3374 bottom of your class file.
3377 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3380 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3382 - improved error message when loading modules so
3383 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3384 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3385 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3388 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3389 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3390 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3392 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3393 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3395 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3396 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3397 turn them on for you.
3398 - added tests for this
3399 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3400 in Moose::Meta::Class
3403 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3404 automatically turned on for you.
3405 - added tests for this
3408 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3409 - added tests for this
3410 - added some more edge case tests

3422 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3423 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3426 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3427 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3428 - This release works in combination with
3429 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3430 release because it uses the a new
3431 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3432 complete Role implementation. It has
3433 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3434 the the previous CPAN version. This
3435 release also lacks good updated docs,
3436 the official release will have updated docs.
3439 - refactored the keyword exports
3440 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3441 accepts more than one Role at a time
3442 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3443 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3446 - refactored the keyword exports
3447 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3448 accepts more than one Role at a time
3450 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3451 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3452 string enumerations which can be used as
3454 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3457 - more careful checking of params to new()
3460 - much work done on the role composition
3461 - many new tests for conflict detection
3462 and composition edge cases

3487 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3488 thanks to chansen for this commit
