1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
9 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
10 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
11 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
13 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
17 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
18 policy. (Chris Prather)
20 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
21 on this new support policy. (doy)
25 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
26 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
27 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
29 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed all the docs. Now it's
30 listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
32 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
36 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
37 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
38 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
39 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
46 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
47 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
50 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
54 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
55 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
57 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
58 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
62 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
63 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
64 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
65 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
66 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
67 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
69 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
70 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
72 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
73 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
74 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
77 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
78 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
80 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
85 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
86 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
88 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
92 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
93 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
94 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
96 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
100 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
101 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
102 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
104 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
105 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
108 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
109 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
112 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
113 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
114 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
116 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
117 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
122 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
123 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
124 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
125 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
127 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
128 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
130 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
131 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
133 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
134 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
135 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
136 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
138 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
139 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
140 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
143 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
144 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
145 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
146 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
148 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
149 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
152 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
153 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
154 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
156 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
160 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
161 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
162 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
164 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
165 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
166 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
169 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
170 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
171 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
173 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
174 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
175 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
177 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
178 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
182 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
183 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
184 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
186 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
187 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
188 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
189 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
191 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
195 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
196 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
197 value is a reference.
199 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
200 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
202 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
206 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
207 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
208 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
210 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
214 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
215 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
219 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
220 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
221 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
223 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
224 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
225 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
227 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
231 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
233 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
237 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
239 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
240 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
245 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
246 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
248 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
249 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
250 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
251 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
252 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
254 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
255 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
256 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
257 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
259 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
263 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
264 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
269 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
271 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
273 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
278 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
280 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
284 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
285 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
286 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
288 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
289 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
290 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
291 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
293 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
294 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
295 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
296 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
297 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
300 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
305 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
306 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
307 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
308 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
309 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
312 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
316 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
319 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
320 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
324 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
325 function (not just method). (doy)
329 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
330 and aren't easily installable/testable.
332 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
336 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
337 to be overridden more easily (doy).
339 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
343 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
344 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
346 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
350 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
351 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
352 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
354 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
358 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
359 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
360 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
362 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
363 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
367 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
368 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
370 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
371 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
375 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
376 is applied to a class (t0m).
378 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
379 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
381 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
384 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
385 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
387 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
388 be much more robust. (doy)
390 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
392 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
395 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
399 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
400 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
402 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
406 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
407 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
409 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
412 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
413 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
414 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
416 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
417 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
418 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
421 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
423 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
427 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
428 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
432 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
434 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
438 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
439 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
443 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
444 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
448 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
450 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
454 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
455 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
459 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
460 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
464 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
465 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
467 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
471 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
472 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
473 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
476 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
480 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
481 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
482 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
483 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
485 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
489 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
490 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
491 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
495 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
498 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
502 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
503 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
504 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
508 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
509 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
511 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
512 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
513 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
514 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
516 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
520 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
524 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
525 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
527 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
528 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
529 - Moose::Util::does_role
530 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
531 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
532 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
534 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
538 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
539 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
540 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
543 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
547 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
548 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
551 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
555 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
556 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
559 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
563 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
565 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
566 class. (Dave Rolsky).
568 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
569 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
570 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
572 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
573 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
574 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
577 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
578 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
580 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
581 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
582 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
584 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
586 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
587 substr et al, again. (sorear)
589 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
591 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
594 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
595 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
597 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
598 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
600 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
601 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
602 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
603 dependencies installed.
605 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
606 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
609 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
611 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
615 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
617 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
618 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
619 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
621 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
622 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
623 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
625 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
626 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
629 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
630 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
631 others. (nothingmuch)
633 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
634 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
635 remove_accessors. (doy)
637 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
638 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
639 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
642 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
644 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
645 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
646 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
647 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
650 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
651 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
653 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
654 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
656 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
658 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
659 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
663 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
664 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
665 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
666 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
668 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
669 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
670 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
671 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
672 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
673 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
674 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
677 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
678 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
679 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
680 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
681 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
683 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
684 which were not receiving the value of
685 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
686 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
687 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
688 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
692 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
693 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
694 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
695 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
696 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
699 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
700 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
701 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
702 - added tests for this (Stevan)
705 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
706 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
707 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
710 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
711 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
712 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
714 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
715 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
716 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
719 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
720 class if you pass it options for
721 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
722 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
723 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
724 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
725 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
726 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
727 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
728 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
729 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
731 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
732 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
733 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
734 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
735 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
738 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
739 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
740 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
741 existing delegation API. (hdp)
743 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
744 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
745 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
746 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
747 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
748 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
751 * Moose::Error::Croak
752 * Moose::Error::Confess
753 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
754 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
757 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
760 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
761 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
762 installing a broken sub. (doy)
765 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
768 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
769 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
770 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
772 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
773 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
774 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
775 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
776 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
778 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
779 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
782 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
784 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
785 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
788 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
789 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
791 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
792 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
793 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
794 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
796 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
797 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
798 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
799 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
800 using it for new code!
802 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
803 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
804 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
805 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
807 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
808 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
809 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
810 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
811 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
812 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
813 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
814 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
817 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
820 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
821 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
824 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
825 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
827 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
828 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
829 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
832 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
833 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
834 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
837 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
838 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
840 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
841 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
842 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
845 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
846 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
847 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
848 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
849 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
850 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
852 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
854 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
857 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
858 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
859 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
861 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
862 associated_methods. (hdp)
863 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
864 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
865 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
866 misspelled) arguments
868 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
869 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
870 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
871 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
873 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
874 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
875 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
877 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
880 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
881 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
882 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
885 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
886 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
888 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
890 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
891 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
893 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
894 * Moose::Manual::Types
895 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
896 string parsing rathole (mst)
898 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
899 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
900 using plain objects instead
902 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
903 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
906 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
908 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
909 three times today (perigrin)
910 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
911 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
913 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
914 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
915 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
916 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
919 - A role's required methods are now represented by
920 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
921 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
922 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
923 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
924 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
927 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
928 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
929 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
930 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
933 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
935 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
938 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
940 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
943 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
944 during global destruction. This method has been made more
945 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
949 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
950 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
953 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
954 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
956 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
957 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
958 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
961 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
963 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
964 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
967 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
971 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
972 methods during global destruction (doy)
975 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
976 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
980 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
981 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
984 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
985 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
988 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
989 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
991 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
993 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
997 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
998 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
999 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1002 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1003 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1004 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1007 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1009 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1010 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1011 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1014 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1015 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1016 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1017 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1019 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1020 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1021 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1024 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1027 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1028 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1029 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1033 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1034 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1036 * Moose::Meta::Class
1037 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1039 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1041 * Moose::Meta::Class
1042 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1043 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1046 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1047 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1050 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1051 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1054 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1057 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1059 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1060 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1063 * Moose::Meta::Class
1064 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1066 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1067 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1070 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1071 * More deprecations and renamings
1072 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1073 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1074 when an object is constructed)
1077 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1078 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1079 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1081 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1082 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1083 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1084 feature, and it works again.
1087 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1089 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1091 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1092 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1093 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1095 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1096 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1097 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1098 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1099 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1101 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1102 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1103 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1104 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1105 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1108 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1109 metaclass object. (hdp)
1111 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1112 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1113 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1114 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1115 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1116 point out this fact. (hdp)
1118 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1119 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1121 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1122 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1124 * Moose::Meta::Class
1125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1126 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1127 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1128 called during instance construction were passed the
1129 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1130 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1132 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1133 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1136 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1137 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1138 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1141 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1142 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1143 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1144 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1145 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1147 - Moose::Meta::Class
1148 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1150 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1151 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1152 when an object is constructed)
1153 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1155 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1156 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1157 when an object is constructed)
1158 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1159 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1160 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1163 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1165 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1166 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1168 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1170 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1171 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1172 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1174 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1175 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1176 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1178 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1180 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1181 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1183 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1184 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1187 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1188 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1191 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1192 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1193 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1196 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1200 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1201 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1202 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1205 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1208 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1209 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1210 with recommended workarounds.
1212 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1213 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1215 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1216 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1217 (yes, spelled like that).
1219 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1220 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1222 * Moose::Meta::Class
1223 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1224 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1226 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1228 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1229 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1230 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1231 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1232 instead. Reported by doy.
1234 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1236 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1237 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1239 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1240 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1241 message) is now deprecated.
1242 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1243 often got it wrong. For example:
1245 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1247 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1251 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1252 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1253 bite you in weird cases.
1255 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1256 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1257 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1258 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1260 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1261 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1265 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1268 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1269 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1272 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1273 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1275 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1276 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1279 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1280 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1281 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1282 - added tests for this (stevan)
1284 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1285 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1286 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1287 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1291 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1292 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1293 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1294 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1296 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1297 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1298 - added tests for this (rafl)
1300 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1301 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1302 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1303 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1307 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1308 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1311 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1312 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1313 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1315 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1317 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1318 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1320 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1321 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1322 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1323 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1324 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1327 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1328 error message did not specify the attribute name
1331 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1333 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1335 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1336 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1337 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1340 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1343 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1345 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1346 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1347 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1348 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1350 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1352 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1353 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1354 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1355 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1357 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1358 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1359 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1361 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1362 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1363 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1364 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1365 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1367 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1368 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1369 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1370 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1371 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1373 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1374 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1375 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1376 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1377 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1378 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1380 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1381 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1382 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1383 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1384 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1385 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1387 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1388 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1390 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1391 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1392 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1393 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1395 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1396 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1399 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1403 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1404 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1406 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1407 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1408 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1409 guts. (nothingmuch).
1411 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1413 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1416 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1417 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1418 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1420 * Moose::Meta::Class
1421 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1424 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1425 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1427 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1428 * Moose::Unsweetened
1429 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1432 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1433 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1434 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1435 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1436 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1437 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1439 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1440 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1441 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1442 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1443 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1444 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1445 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1446 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1447 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1448 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1450 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1452 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1453 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1456 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1457 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1458 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1460 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1461 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1462 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1463 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1464 same methods for a single role did not work
1465 right (worked just fine with multiple
1467 - added test for this (stevan)
1469 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1470 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1471 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1474 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1475 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1476 - added test for this (t0m)
1479 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1480 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1481 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1483 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1484 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1485 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1486 - added test for this (t0m)
1488 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1489 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1490 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1491 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1492 - added test for this (perigrin)
1495 - create method for constructing a role
1496 dynamically (Sartak)
1497 - added test for this (Sartak)
1498 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1499 - added test for this (Sartak)
1502 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1504 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1505 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1506 methods is useful (Sartak)
1508 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1509 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1510 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1513 * Moose::Meta::Class
1514 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1515 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1516 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1517 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1518 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1519 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1522 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1523 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1525 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1526 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1527 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1528 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1529 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1531 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1533 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1534 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1535 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1538 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1539 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1540 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1541 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1542 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1543 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1546 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1547 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1548 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1549 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1550 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1551 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1552 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1553 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1554 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1555 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1556 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1558 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1559 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1562 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1563 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1564 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1565 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1566 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1568 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1570 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1571 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1572 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1574 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1575 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1577 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1578 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1579 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1580 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1583 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1584 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1586 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1588 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1589 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1591 * Moose::Meta::Class
1592 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1593 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1594 a required attribute
1596 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1597 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1598 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1599 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1601 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1602 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1605 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1606 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1607 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1608 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1609 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1610 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1611 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1613 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1614 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1615 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1617 * Roles and role application
1618 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1619 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1620 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1621 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1622 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1624 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1625 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1628 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1629 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1630 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1631 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1632 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1635 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1636 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1637 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1638 changes in the Moose internals.
1640 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1642 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1645 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1646 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1647 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1648 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1650 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1651 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1652 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1653 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1655 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1656 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1657 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1658 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1659 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1660 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1661 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1662 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1663 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1664 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1665 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1666 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1667 constraint implementations.
1669 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1673 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1674 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1675 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1676 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1677 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1678 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1679 - added tests for this (rafl)
1681 * Moose::Meta::Class
1682 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1683 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1684 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1685 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1686 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1687 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1688 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1689 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1692 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1693 - added tests for this (thepler)
1695 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1696 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1697 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1698 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1701 * Moose::Meta::Class
1702 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1703 * Moose::Meta::Method
1706 * Moose::Error::Default
1707 * Moose::Error::Croak
1708 * Moose::Error::Confess
1709 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1710 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1711 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1712 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1713 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1714 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1716 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1718 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1719 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1721 * Moose::Unsweetened
1722 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1723 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1724 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1726 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1727 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1728 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1729 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1730 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1733 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1734 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1736 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1737 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1738 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1739 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1742 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1744 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1745 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1747 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1750 - Various bug fixes.
1752 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1753 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1755 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1757 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1758 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1759 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1760 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1761 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1762 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1764 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1765 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1766 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1768 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1769 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1770 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1773 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1774 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1775 dependency to 0.64_07.
1777 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1778 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1779 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1781 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1782 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1785 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1786 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1787 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1788 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1789 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1790 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1792 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1793 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1795 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1797 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1798 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1802 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1803 method when that method was provided by another role being
1804 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1805 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1807 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1809 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1810 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1812 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1813 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1814 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1815 - added test for this (t0m)
1817 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1818 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1819 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1821 - added test for this (t0m)
1824 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1825 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1826 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1829 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1830 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1832 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1834 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1835 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1837 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1838 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1839 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1841 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1842 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1845 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1846 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1847 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1848 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1852 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1853 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1854 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1857 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1858 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1859 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1860 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1863 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1867 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1868 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1869 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1871 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1872 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1873 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1874 created so that the process can be more easily
1875 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1877 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1878 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1879 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1880 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1882 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1883 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1886 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1887 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1889 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1890 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1891 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1893 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1894 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1895 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1897 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1898 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1900 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1901 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1904 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1905 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1909 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1910 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1912 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1913 ... this is not my day today ...
1915 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1916 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1917 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1918 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1919 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1922 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1923 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1924 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1925 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1926 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1929 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1931 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1932 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1933 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1934 this is not ever something you want to do
1935 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1936 - added tests for this (stevan)
1939 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1941 - added test for this
1943 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1944 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1945 - added tests for this (wreis)
1947 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1948 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1949 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1950 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1952 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1953 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1954 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1957 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1959 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1961 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1964 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1965 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1966 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1967 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1968 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1969 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1970 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1971 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1972 - added tests for this
1974 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1975 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1976 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1977 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1979 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1981 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1982 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1983 - added tests for this (sartak)
1984 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1985 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1988 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1990 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1991 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1993 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1994 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1995 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1996 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1998 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2000 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2001 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2004 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2005 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2006 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2009 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2010 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2012 - added docs for this (TODO).
2013 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2014 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2015 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2016 - fix builder and default both being used
2021 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2023 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2024 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2025 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2029 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2033 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2034 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2035 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2037 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2038 - move the ClassName type check code to
2039 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2041 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2042 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2044 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2045 (early morning release engineering)--
2047 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2048 which was causing the indexer to choke
2050 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2051 (late night release engineering)--
2053 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2054 changes in this release

2078 - added more descriptive error message to help
2079 keep people from wasting time tracking an error

2082 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2084 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2085 XS based functionality is now optional
2086 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2087 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2088 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2090 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2091 to take care of this, mostly we added
2092 support for the package_name and name

2099 is currently not supported in roles,
2100 but, ... patches welcome

2102 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2103 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2106 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2107 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2108 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2109 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2110 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2111 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2112 - added test for this
2114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2115 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an

2158 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2161 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2162 ->body when looping through the
2163 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2165 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2166 eating the $@ values, and so not
2167 working correctly, it still kind of
2168 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2169 - added tests for this

2191 drink more coffee before
2192 doing release engineering
2194 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2195 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2196 modules. This fixes that.

2199 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2200 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2309 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2311 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2645 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2648 - fixed how required methods are handled
2649 when they encounter overriden or modified
2650 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2651 - added tests for this
2653 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2654 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2655 the | always creates a union and so is
2656 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2657 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2659 - added more tests for this
2661 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2664 * Parameterized Types
2665 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2666 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2667 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2668 They can also be nested:
2669 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2670 And work with the type unions as well:
2671 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2673 * Better Framework Extendability
2674 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2675 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2676 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2677 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2680 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2681 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2682 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2683 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2686 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2688 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2725 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2727 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2728 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2729 - updated the accompanying test as well

2734 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2735 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2736 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of

2818 - added tests and docs for this
2819 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to

2837 the other side (perigrin)
2839 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2840 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2841 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2842 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2843 prototypes for functions
2844 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2845 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2854 - tests added for this
2855 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2858 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2859 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2860 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2861 - added tests for this
2863 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2865 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2886 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2887 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2889 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2890 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2891 so this release is just to fix that.
2894 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2895 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2896 (thanks to konobi for this)
2897 - added tests and docs
2899 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2907 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2908 functions to facilitate introspection.
2910 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2911 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2912 to build the list of delegated methods
2913 correctly (and not override important
2914 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2916 - added tests and docs for this
2917 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2918 so that you can actually document your
2919 attributes and inspect them through the
2921 - added tests and docs for this
2923 * Moose::Meta::Class
2924 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2925 it will first look in for the class in the
2926 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2927 then default to just loading $name.
2928 - added tests and docs for this
2930 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2931 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2932 - added test for this
2935 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2936 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2937 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2938 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2940 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2941 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2944 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2946 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2947 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2948 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2951 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2952 !! for this developer release to work !!
2954 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2955 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2956 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2957 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2958 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2959 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2960 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2961 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2962 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2963 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2964 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2966 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2967 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2968 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2969 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2972 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2973 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2974 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2975 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2976 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2978 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2980 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2981 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2984 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2985 called unless they actually need to be.
2986 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2987 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2988 DEMOLISH method present.
2990 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2991 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2992 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2993 type constraint, which allows for a
2994 hand optimized version of the type
2995 constraint to be used when possible.
2996 - Any internally created type constraints
2997 now provide an optimized version as well.
2999 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3001 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3002 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3003 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3005 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3006 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3007 your class namespace of these exported
3010 * Moose::Meta::Class
3011 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3012 comes up during global destruction
3014 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3018 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3021 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3022 - changed how we do type checks so that
3023 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3026 - moved accessor generation methods to
3027 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3028 conform to the API changes from
3031 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3032 - changed how constraints are compiled
3033 so that we do less recursion and more
3034 iteration. This makes the type check
3036 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3039 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3040 - created this from methods formerly found in
3041 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3043 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3044 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3047 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

3054 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3055 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3056 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3057 - added tests for this
3058 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3059 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3060 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3061 - removed tests for this
3063 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3065 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3066 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3067 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3070 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3071 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3072 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3074 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3075 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3076 comments for more info.
3079 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3080 asked questions and common problems
3082 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3083 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3084 - added tests for this
3086 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3087 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3088 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3089 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3091 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3092 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3095 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3096 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3097 is much appreciated :)
3098 - added tests for this
3100 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3101 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3102 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3105 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3106 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3108 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3110 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3111 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3115 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3116 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3117 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3119 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3121 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3124 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3125 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3126 keywords because we need to localize them.
3127 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3129 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3130 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3131 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3134 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3137 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3138 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3139 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3142 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3143 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3144 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3146 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3148 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3149 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3150 bottom of your class file.
3153 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3156 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3158 - improved error message when loading modules so
3159 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3160 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3161 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3164 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3165 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3166 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3168 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3169 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3171 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3172 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3173 turn them on for you.
3174 - added tests for this
3175 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3176 in Moose::Meta::Class

3203 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3204 - This release works in combination with
3205 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3206 release because it uses the a new
3207 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3208 complete Role implementation. It has
3209 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3210 the the previous CPAN version. This
3211 release also lacks good updated docs,
3212 the official release will have updated docs.
3215 - refactored the keyword exports
3216 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3217 accepts more than one Role at a time

3228 string enumerations which can be used as
3230 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3233 - more careful checking of params to new()
3236 - much work done on the role composition
3237 - many new tests for conflict detection
3238 and composition edge cases
3239 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3240 looking at the tests
3242 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3243 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3244 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3246 * Moose::Meta::Class

3265 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3266 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3267 on a per-attribute basis
3268 - added tests for this
3269 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3270 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3271 experimental feature and probably not finished

3273 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3274 - added tests for this
