1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
9 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
10 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
12 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
16 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
17 skips every other role. (rjbs)
19 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
20 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
21 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
22 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
23 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
25 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
29 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
30 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
31 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
34 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
39 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
41 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
42 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
44 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
48 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
49 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
50 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
54 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
55 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
57 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
58 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
60 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
61 environments. (doy, mateu)
63 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
67 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
68 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
69 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
70 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
74 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
75 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
77 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
81 * Update conflicts list.
84 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
88 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
89 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
90 details. (Dave Rolsky)
92 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
93 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
94 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
95 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
96 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
100 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
101 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
102 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
103 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
104 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
107 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
111 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
112 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
114 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
117 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
121 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
122 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
123 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
124 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
126 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
127 immutable classes). (mo)
129 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
130 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
131 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
133 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
137 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
139 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
141 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
145 * Fix some indexing issues.
147 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
149 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
153 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
154 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
155 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
156 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
157 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
159 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
160 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
165 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
166 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
167 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
168 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
170 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
171 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
172 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
176 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
177 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
180 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
184 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
185 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
189 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
193 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
194 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
195 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
196 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
199 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
203 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
206 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
210 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
211 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
212 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
215 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
219 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
220 policy. (Chris Prather)
222 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
223 on this new support policy. (doy)
227 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
228 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
229 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
231 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
232 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
234 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
238 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
239 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
240 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
241 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
244 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
248 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
249 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
252 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
256 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
257 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
259 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
260 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
264 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
265 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
266 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
267 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
268 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
269 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
271 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
272 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
274 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
275 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
276 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
277 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
279 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
280 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
282 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
287 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
288 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
290 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
294 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
295 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
296 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
298 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
302 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
303 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
304 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
306 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
307 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
310 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
311 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
314 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
315 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
316 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
318 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
319 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
324 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
325 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
326 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
327 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
329 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
330 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
332 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
333 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
335 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
336 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
337 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
338 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
340 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
341 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
342 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
345 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
346 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
347 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
348 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
350 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
351 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
354 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
355 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
356 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
358 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
362 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
363 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
364 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
366 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
367 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
368 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
371 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
372 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
373 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
375 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
376 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
377 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
379 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
380 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
384 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
385 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
386 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
388 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
389 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
390 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
391 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
393 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
397 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
398 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
399 value is a reference.
401 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
402 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
404 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
408 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
409 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
410 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
412 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
416 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
417 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
421 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
422 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
423 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
425 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
426 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
427 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
429 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
433 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
435 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
439 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
441 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
442 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
447 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
448 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
450 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
451 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
452 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
453 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
454 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
456 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
457 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
458 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
459 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
461 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
465 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
466 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
471 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
473 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
475 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
480 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
482 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
486 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
487 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
488 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
490 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
491 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
492 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
493 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
495 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
496 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
497 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
498 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
499 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
502 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
507 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
508 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
509 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
510 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
511 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
514 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
518 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
521 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
522 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
526 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
527 function (not just method). (doy)
531 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
532 and aren't easily installable/testable.
534 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
538 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
539 to be overridden more easily (doy).
541 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
545 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
546 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
548 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
552 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
553 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
554 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
556 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
560 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
561 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
562 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
564 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
565 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
569 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
570 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
572 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
573 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
577 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
578 is applied to a class (t0m).
580 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
581 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
583 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
586 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
587 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
589 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
590 be much more robust. (doy)
592 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
594 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
597 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
601 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
602 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
604 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
608 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
609 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
611 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
614 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
615 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
616 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
618 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
619 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
620 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
623 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
625 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
629 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
630 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
634 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
636 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
640 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
641 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
645 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
646 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
650 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
652 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
656 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
657 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
661 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
662 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
666 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
667 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
669 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
673 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
674 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
675 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
678 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
682 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
683 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
684 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
685 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
687 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
691 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
692 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
693 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
697 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
700 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
704 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
705 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
706 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
710 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
711 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
713 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
714 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
715 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
716 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
718 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
722 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
726 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
727 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
729 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
730 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
731 - Moose::Util::does_role
732 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
733 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
734 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
736 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
740 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
741 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
742 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
745 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
749 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
750 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
753 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
757 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
758 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
761 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
765 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
767 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
768 class. (Dave Rolsky).
770 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
771 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
772 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
774 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
775 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
776 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
779 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
780 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
782 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
783 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
784 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
786 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
788 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
789 substr et al, again. (sorear)
791 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
793 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
796 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
797 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
799 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
800 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
802 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
803 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
804 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
805 dependencies installed.
807 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
808 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
811 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
813 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
817 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
819 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
820 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
821 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
823 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
824 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
825 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
827 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
828 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
831 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
832 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
833 others. (nothingmuch)
835 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
836 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
837 remove_accessors. (doy)
839 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
840 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
841 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
843 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
844 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
846 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
847 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
848 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
849 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
852 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
853 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
855 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
856 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
858 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
860 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
861 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
864 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
865 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
866 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
867 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
868 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
870 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
871 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
872 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
873 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
874 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
875 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
876 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
879 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
880 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
881 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
882 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
883 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
885 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
886 which were not receiving the value of
887 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
888 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
889 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
890 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
894 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
895 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
896 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
897 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
898 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
901 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
902 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
903 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
904 - added tests for this (Stevan)
907 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
908 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
909 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
912 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
913 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
914 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
916 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
917 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
918 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
921 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
922 class if you pass it options for
923 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
924 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
925 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
926 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
927 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
928 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
929 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
930 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
931 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
933 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
934 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
935 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
936 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
937 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
940 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
941 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
942 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
943 existing delegation API. (hdp)
945 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
946 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
947 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
948 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
949 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
950 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
953 * Moose::Error::Croak
954 * Moose::Error::Confess
955 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
956 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
959 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
962 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
963 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
964 installing a broken sub. (doy)
967 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
970 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
971 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
972 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
974 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
975 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
976 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
977 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
978 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
980 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
981 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
984 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
986 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
987 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
990 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
991 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
993 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
994 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
995 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
996 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
998 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
999 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1000 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1001 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1002 using it for new code!
1004 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1005 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1006 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1007 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1009 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1010 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1011 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1012 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1013 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1014 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1015 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1016 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1019 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1022 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1023 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1027 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1029 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1030 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1031 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1033 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1034 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1035 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1036 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1038 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1039 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1040 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1042 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1043 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1044 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1047 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1048 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1049 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1050 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1051 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1052 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1054 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1056 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1059 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1060 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1061 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1063 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1064 associated_methods. (hdp)
1065 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1066 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1067 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1068 misspelled) arguments
1070 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1071 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1072 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1073 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1075 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1076 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1077 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1079 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1082 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1083 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1084 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1087 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1088 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1090 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1091 * Moose::Meta::Class
1092 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1093 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1095 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1096 * Moose::Manual::Types
1097 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1098 string parsing rathole (mst)
1100 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1101 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1102 using plain objects instead
1104 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1105 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1106 that's what we need.
1108 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1109 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1110 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1111 three times today (perigrin)
1112 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1113 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1115 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1116 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1117 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1118 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1121 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1122 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1123 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1124 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1125 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1126 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1129 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1130 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1131 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1132 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1135 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1137 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1140 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1142 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1145 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1146 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1147 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1151 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1152 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1155 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1156 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1158 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1159 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1160 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1162 * Moose::Unsweetened
1163 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1165 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1166 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1169 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1173 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1174 methods during global destruction (doy)
1176 * Moose::Meta::Class
1177 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1178 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1179 consumption (Sartak)
1181 * Moose::Meta::Class
1182 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1183 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1186 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1187 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1190 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1191 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1193 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1195 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1199 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1200 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1201 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1204 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1205 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1206 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1209 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1211 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1212 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1213 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1216 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1217 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1218 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1219 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1221 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1222 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1223 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1226 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1229 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1230 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1231 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1235 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1236 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1238 * Moose::Meta::Class
1239 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1241 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1243 * Moose::Meta::Class
1244 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1245 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1248 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1249 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1252 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1253 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1256 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1259 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1261 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1262 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1265 * Moose::Meta::Class
1266 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1268 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1269 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1272 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1273 * More deprecations and renamings
1274 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1275 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1276 when an object is constructed)
1279 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1280 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1281 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1283 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1284 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1285 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1286 feature, and it works again.
1289 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1291 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1293 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1294 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1295 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1297 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1298 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1299 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1300 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1301 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1303 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1304 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1305 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1306 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1307 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1310 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1311 metaclass object. (hdp)
1313 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1314 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1315 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1316 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1317 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1318 point out this fact. (hdp)
1320 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1321 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1323 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1324 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1326 * Moose::Meta::Class
1327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1328 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1329 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1330 called during instance construction were passed the
1331 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1332 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1334 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1335 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1338 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1339 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1340 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1343 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1344 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1345 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1346 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1347 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1349 - Moose::Meta::Class
1350 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1352 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1353 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1354 when an object is constructed)
1355 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1357 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1358 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1359 when an object is constructed)
1360 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1361 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1362 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1365 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1367 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1368 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1370 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1372 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1373 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1374 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1377 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1378 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1380 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1382 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1383 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1385 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1386 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1389 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1390 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1393 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1394 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1395 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1397 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1398 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1402 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1403 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1404 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1406 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1407 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1410 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1411 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1412 with recommended workarounds.
1414 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1415 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1417 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1418 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1419 (yes, spelled like that).
1421 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1422 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1424 * Moose::Meta::Class
1425 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1426 changes in latest Class::MOP.

1430 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1431 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1432 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1433 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1434 instead. Reported by doy.
1436 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1438 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1439 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1441 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1442 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1443 message) is now deprecated.
1444 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1445 often got it wrong. For example:
1447 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1449 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1453 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1454 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1455 bite you in weird cases.
1457 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1458 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1459 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1460 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1462 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1463 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1467 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1470 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1471 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1474 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1475 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1478 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1481 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1482 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1483 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1484 - added tests for this (stevan)
1486 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1487 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1488 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1489 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1493 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1494 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1495 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1496 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1498 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1499 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1500 - added tests for this (rafl)
1502 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1503 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1504 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1505 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1509 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1510 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1513 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1514 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1515 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1517 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1519 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1520 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1522 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1523 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1524 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1525 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1526 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1528 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1529 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1530 error message did not specify the attribute name
1533 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1535 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1537 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1538 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1539 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1541 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1542 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1545 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1547 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1548 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1549 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1550 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1552 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1554 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1555 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1556 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1557 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1559 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1560 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1561 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1563 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1564 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1565 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1566 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1567 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1569 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1570 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1571 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1572 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1573 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1575 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1576 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1577 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1578 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1579 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1580 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1582 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1583 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1584 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1585 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1586 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1587 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1589 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1590 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1592 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1593 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1594 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1595 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1597 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1598 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1601 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1605 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1606 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1608 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1609 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1610 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1611 guts. (nothingmuch).
1613 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1614 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1615 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1617 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1618 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1619 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1620 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1622 * Moose::Meta::Class
1623 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1626 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1627 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1629 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1630 * Moose::Unsweetened
1631 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1634 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1635 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1636 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1637 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1638 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1639 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1641 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1642 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1643 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1644 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1645 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1646 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1647 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1648 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1649 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1650 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1652 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1654 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1655 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1657 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1658 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1659 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1660 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1662 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1663 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1664 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1665 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1666 same methods for a single role did not work
1667 right (worked just fine with multiple
1669 - added test for this (stevan)
1671 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1672 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1673 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1676 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1677 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1678 - added test for this (t0m)
1681 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1682 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1683 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1685 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1686 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1687 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1688 - added test for this (t0m)
1690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1691 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1692 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1693 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1694 - added test for this (perigrin)
1697 - create method for constructing a role
1698 dynamically (Sartak)
1699 - added test for this (Sartak)
1700 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1701 - added test for this (Sartak)
1704 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1706 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1707 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1708 methods is useful (Sartak)
1710 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1711 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1712 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1715 * Moose::Meta::Class
1716 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1717 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1718 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1719 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1720 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1721 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1724 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1725 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1727 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1728 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1729 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1730 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1731 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1733 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1735 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1736 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1737 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1740 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1741 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1742 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1743 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1744 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1745 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1748 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1749 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1750 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1751 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1752 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1753 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1754 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1755 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1756 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1757 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1758 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1760 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1761 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1764 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1765 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1766 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1767 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1768 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1770 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1772 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1773 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1774 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1777 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1779 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1780 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1781 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1782 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1785 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1786 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1788 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1790 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1791 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1793 * Moose::Meta::Class
1794 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1795 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1796 a required attribute
1798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1799 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1800 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1801 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1803 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1804 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1806 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1807 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1808 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1809 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1810 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1811 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1812 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1813 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1815 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1816 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1817 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1819 * Roles and role application
1820 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1821 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1822 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1823 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1824 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1826 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1827 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1830 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1831 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1832 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1833 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1834 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1837 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1838 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1839 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1840 changes in the Moose internals.
1842 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1843 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1844 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1847 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1848 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1849 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1850 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1852 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1853 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1854 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1855 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1857 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1858 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1859 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1860 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1861 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1862 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1863 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1864 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1865 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1866 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1867 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1868 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1869 constraint implementations.
1871 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1875 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1876 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1877 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1878 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1879 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1880 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1881 - added tests for this (rafl)
1883 * Moose::Meta::Class
1884 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1885 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1886 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1887 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1888 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1889 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1890 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1891 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1894 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1895 - added tests for this (thepler)
1897 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1898 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1899 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1900 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1903 * Moose::Meta::Class
1904 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1905 * Moose::Meta::Method
1908 * Moose::Error::Default
1909 * Moose::Error::Croak
1910 * Moose::Error::Confess
1911 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1912 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1913 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1914 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1915 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1916 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1918 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1920 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1921 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 * Moose::Unsweetened
1924 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1925 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1926 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1928 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1929 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1930 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1931 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1932 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1935 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1936 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1938 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1939 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1940 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1941 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1944 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1946 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1947 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1949 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1952 - Various bug fixes.
1954 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1955 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1957 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1959 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1960 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1961 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1962 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1963 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1964 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1966 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1967 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1968 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1970 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1971 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1972 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1975 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1976 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1977 dependency to 0.64_07.
1979 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1980 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1981 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1983 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1984 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1987 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1988 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1989 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1990 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1991 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1992 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1994 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1995 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1997 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1999 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2000 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2004 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2005 method when that method was provided by another role being
2006 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2007 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2009 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2011 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2012 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2014 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2015 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2016 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2017 - added test for this (t0m)
2019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2020 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2021 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2023 - added test for this (t0m)
2026 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2027 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2028 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2031 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2032 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2034 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2036 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2037 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2039 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2040 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2041 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2043 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2044 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2047 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

2115 ... this is not my day today ...
2117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2118 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2119 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2120 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2121 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2124 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2125 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2126 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2127 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2128 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2131 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2133 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2134 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2166 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2167 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2168 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2169 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2170 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2171 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2172 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2173 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2174 - added tests for this
2176 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2177 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2178 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2287 XS based functionality is now optional
2288 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2289 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2290 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2743 types without having to explictly define them
2744 - added tests for this
2746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2747 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2748 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2750 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2751 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2752 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2753 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2754 - added tests for this
2755 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2756 a single type at different times instead of
2757 having to do it all in one place
2758 - added tests for this
2760 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2761 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2762 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2765 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2766 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2767 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2768 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2769 new features above (although you cannot add
2770 more type coercions for Union types)
2772 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2773 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2774 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2775 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2776 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2777 - added tests for this.
2778 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2779 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2780 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2781 - added tests for this
2782 - added docs for this
2784 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2785 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2786 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2787 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2788 instead it will just return undef.
2789 - added docs for this
2791 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2803 with work correctly.
2804 - added tests for this
2807 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2808 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2811 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2812 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2813 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2815 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2846 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2847 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2850 - fixed how required methods are handled
2851 when they encounter overriden or modified
2852 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2853 - added tests for this
2855 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2856 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2857 the | always creates a union and so is
2858 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2859 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2861 - added more tests for this
2863 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2866 * Parameterized Types
2867 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2868 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2869 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2870 They can also be nested:
2871 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2872 And work with the type unions as well:
2873 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2875 * Better Framework Extendability
2876 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2877 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2878 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2879 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2882 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2883 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2884 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2885 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2888 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2890 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2891 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2894 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2922 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2924 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2925 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2926 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2927 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2929 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2930 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2931 - updated the accompanying test as well
2933 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2934 +++ with new features added as well +++
2936 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2940 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2942 - added tests for this
2944 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2947 can track where the type constraints are created
2949 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2950 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2951 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2953 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2954 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2955 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2956 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2970 (thanks to shlomif).
2972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2973 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2974 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2975 - added tests for this
2976 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2978 - added tests for this
2980 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2981 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

3012 - added tests for these
3014 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3015 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3017 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3018 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3019 to the 'handles' option.
3020 - added tests and docs for this

3023 (but not changing the handles option)
3024 - added tests and docs for this
3027 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3028 so that required methods can come from superclasses

3032 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3033 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3039 the other side (perigrin)
3041 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3042 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3043 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3044 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3045 prototypes for functions
3046 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3047 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3057 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3060 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3061 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3062 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3063 - added tests for this
3065 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3067 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3083 * Moose::Meta::Class
3084 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3085 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3086 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3088 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3089 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3091 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3092 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3093 so this release is just to fix that.
3096 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3097 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3098 (thanks to konobi for this)
3099 - added tests and docs
3101 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3102 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3104 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3105 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3106 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3107 - added tests for this
3108 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3109 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3110 functions to facilitate introspection.
3112 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3113 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3114 to build the list of delegated methods
3115 correctly (and not override important
3116 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3118 - added tests and docs for this
3119 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3120 so that you can actually document your
3121 attributes and inspect them through the
3123 - added tests and docs for this
3125 * Moose::Meta::Class
3126 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3127 it will first look in for the class in the
3128 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3129 then default to just loading $name.
3130 - added tests and docs for this
3132 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3133 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3134 - added test for this
3137 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3138 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3139 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3140 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3142 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3143 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3146 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3148 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3149 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3150 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3153 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3154 !! for this developer release to work !!
3156 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3157 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3158 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3159 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3160 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3161 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3162 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3163 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3164 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3165 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3166 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3168 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3169 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3170 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3171 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3174 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3175 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3176 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3177 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3178 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3180 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3182 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3183 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3186 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3187 called unless they actually need to be.
3188 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3189 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3190 DEMOLISH method present.
3192 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3193 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3194 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3195 type constraint, which allows for a
3196 hand optimized version of the type
3197 constraint to be used when possible.
3198 - Any internally created type constraints
3199 now provide an optimized version as well.
3201 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3203 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3204 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3205 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3207 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3208 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3209 your class namespace of these exported
3212 * Moose::Meta::Class
3213 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3214 comes up during global destruction
3216 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3220 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3223 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3224 - changed how we do type checks so that
3225 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3228 - moved accessor generation methods to
3229 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3230 conform to the API changes from
3233 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3234 - changed how constraints are compiled
3235 so that we do less recursion and more
3236 iteration. This makes the type check
3238 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3241 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3242 - created this from methods formerly found in
3243 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3245 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3246 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3248 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3249 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3251 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3252 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3254 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3257 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3258 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3259 - added tests for this
3260 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3261 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3262 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3263 - removed tests for this
3265 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3267 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3268 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3269 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3272 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3273 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3274 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3276 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3277 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3278 comments for more info.
3281 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3282 asked questions and common problems
3284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3285 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3286 - added tests for this
3288 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3289 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3290 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3291 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3293 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3294 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3297 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3298 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3299 is much appreciated :)
3300 - added tests for this
3302 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3303 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3304 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3307 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3308 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3310 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3312 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3313 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3317 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3318 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3319 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3321 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3323 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3326 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3327 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3328 keywords because we need to localize them.
3329 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3331 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3332 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3333 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3336 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3339 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3340 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3341 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3344 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3345 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3346 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3348 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3350 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3351 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3352 bottom of your class file.
3355 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3358 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3360 - improved error message when loading modules so
3361 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3362 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3363 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3366 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3367 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3368 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3370 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3371 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3373 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3374 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3375 turn them on for you.
3376 - added tests for this
3377 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3378 in Moose::Meta::Class
3381 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3382 automatically turned on for you.
3383 - added tests for this
3386 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3387 - added tests for this
3388 - added some more edge case tests
3390 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
3391 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3393 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3397 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3400 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3401 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3404 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3405 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3406 - This release works in combination with
3407 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3408 release because it uses the a new
3409 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3410 complete Role implementation. It has
3411 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3412 the the previous CPAN version. This
3413 release also lacks good updated docs,
3414 the official release will have updated docs.
3417 - refactored the keyword exports
3418 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3419 accepts more than one Role at a time
3420 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3421 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3424 - refactored the keyword exports
3425 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3426 accepts more than one Role at a time
3428 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3429 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3430 string enumerations which can be used as
3432 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3435 - more careful checking of params to new()
3438 - much work done on the role composition
3439 - many new tests for conflict detection
3440 and composition edge cases
3441 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3442 looking at the tests

3465 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3466 thanks to chansen for this commit
