1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
4 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
5 - Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
8 - Use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors if
10 - Use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop test extraction and general
11 failures if you don't have the author side dependencies installed
14 - Added a with_immutable test function, to run a block of tests with and
15 without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
18 - Add Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports to allow easier testing
19 of TypeConsraints from the command line. (perigrin)
22 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
23 - Grammar error [rt.cpan.org #51791] (Amir E. Aharoni)
24 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
25 - Changed Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets
26 from substr et al, again. (sorear)
28 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
30 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
34 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
36 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
37 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
38 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
40 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
41 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
42 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
44 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
45 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
48 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
49 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
52 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
53 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
54 remove_accessors. (doy)
56 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
57 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
58 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
60 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
61 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
63 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
64 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
65 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
66 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
69 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
70 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
72 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
73 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
75 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
77 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
78 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
81 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
82 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
83 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
84 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
85 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
87 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
88 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
89 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
90 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
91 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
92 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
93 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
96 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
97 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
98 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
99 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
100 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
102 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
103 which were not receiving the value of
104 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
105 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
106 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
107 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
111 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
112 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
113 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
114 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
115 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
118 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
119 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
120 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
121 - added tests for this (Stevan)
124 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
125 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
126 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
129 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
131 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
133 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
134 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
135 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
138 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
139 class if you pass it options for
140 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
141 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
142 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
143 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
144 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
145 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
146 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
147 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
148 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
150 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
151 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
152 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
153 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
154 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
157 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
158 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
159 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
160 existing delegation API. (hdp)
162 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
163 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
164 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
165 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
166 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
167 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
170 * Moose::Error::Croak
171 * Moose::Error::Confess
172 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
173 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
176 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
179 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
180 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
181 installing a broken sub. (doy)
184 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
187 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
188 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
189 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
191 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
192 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
193 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
194 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
195 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
197 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
198 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
201 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
203 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
204 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
207 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
208 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
210 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
211 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
212 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
213 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
215 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
216 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
217 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
218 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
219 using it for new code!
221 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
222 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
223 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
224 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
226 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
227 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
228 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
229 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
230 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
231 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
232 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
233 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
236 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
239 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
240 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
243 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
244 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
246 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
247 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
248 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
251 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
252 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
253 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
256 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
257 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
259 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
260 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
261 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
264 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
266 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
267 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
268 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
269 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
271 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
273 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
277 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
278 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
280 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
281 associated_methods. (hdp)
282 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
283 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
284 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
285 misspelled) arguments
287 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
288 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
289 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
290 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
292 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
293 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
294 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
296 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
299 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
300 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
301 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
304 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
305 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
307 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
309 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
310 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
312 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
313 * Moose::Manual::Types
314 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
315 string parsing rathole (mst)
317 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
318 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
319 using plain objects instead
321 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
322 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
325 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
327 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
328 three times today (perigrin)
329 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
330 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
332 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
333 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
334 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
335 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
338 - A role's required methods are now represented by
339 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
340 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
341 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
342 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
343 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
346 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
347 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
348 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
349 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
352 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
354 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
357 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
359 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
362 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
363 during global destruction. This method has been made more
364 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
368 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
369 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
372 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
373 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
375 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
376 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
377 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
380 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
382 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
383 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
386 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
390 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
391 methods during global destruction (doy)
394 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
395 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
399 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
400 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
403 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
404 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
407 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
408 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
410 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
412 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
416 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
417 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
418 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
421 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
422 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
423 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
426 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
428 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
430 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
433 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
434 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
435 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
436 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
438 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
439 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
440 of the Moose core (Sartak)
443 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
446 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
447 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
448 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
452 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
453 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
456 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
458 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
461 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
462 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
465 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
466 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
469 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
470 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
473 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
476 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
478 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
479 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
483 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
485 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
486 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
489 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
490 * More deprecations and renamings
491 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
492 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
493 when an object is constructed)
496 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
497 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
498 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
500 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
501 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
502 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
503 feature, and it works again.
506 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
508 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
510 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
511 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
512 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
514 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
515 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
516 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
517 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
518 message. Test provided by perigrin.
520 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
521 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
522 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
523 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
524 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
527 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
528 metaclass object. (hdp)
530 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
531 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
532 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
533 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
534 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
535 point out this fact. (hdp)
537 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
538 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
540 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
541 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
544 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
545 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
546 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
547 called during instance construction were passed the
548 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
549 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
551 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
552 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
555 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
556 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
557 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
560 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
561 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
562 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
563 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
564 them, but they are not for "public" use.
567 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
569 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
570 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
571 when an object is constructed)
572 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
574 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
575 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
576 when an object is constructed)
577 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
578 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
579 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
582 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
584 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
585 * No changes from 0.72_01.
587 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
589 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
590 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
591 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
593 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
594 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
595 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
597 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
599 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
600 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
602 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
603 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
606 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
607 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
610 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
611 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
612 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
614 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
615 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
619 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
620 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
621 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
624 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
627 * Moose::Manual::Delta
628 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
629 with recommended workarounds.
631 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
632 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
635 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
636 (yes, spelled like that).
638 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
639 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
642 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
643 changes in latest Class::MOP.
645 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
647 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
648 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
649 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
650 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
651 instead. Reported by doy.
653 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
655 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
656 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
658 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
659 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
660 message) is now deprecated.
661 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
662 often got it wrong. For example:
664 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
666 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
670 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
671 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
672 bite you in weird cases.
674 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
675 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
676 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
679 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
680 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
684 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
687 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
688 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
691 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
692 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
695 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
698 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
700 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
701 - added tests for this (stevan)
703 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
704 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
705 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
706 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
710 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
711 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
712 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
713 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
715 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
716 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
717 - added tests for this (rafl)
719 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
720 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
721 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
722 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
726 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
727 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
730 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
731 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
732 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
734 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
736 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
737 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
740 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
741 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
742 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
743 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
745 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
746 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
747 error message did not specify the attribute name
750 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
752 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
754 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
755 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
756 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
758 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
759 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
762 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
764 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
765 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
766 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
767 of fixes and formatting improvements.
769 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
771 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
772 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
773 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
774 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
776 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
777 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
778 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
780 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
781 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
782 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
783 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
784 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
786 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
787 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
788 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
789 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
790 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
792 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
793 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
794 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
795 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
796 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
797 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
799 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
800 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
801 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
802 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
803 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
804 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
806 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
807 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
809 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
810 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
811 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
812 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
815 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
818 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
822 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
823 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
825 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
826 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
827 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
830 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
831 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
832 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
834 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
835 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
836 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
837 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
840 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
843 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
844 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
846 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
848 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
851 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
852 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
853 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
854 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
855 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
856 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
858 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
859 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
860 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
861 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
862 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
863 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
864 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
865 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
866 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
867 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
869 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
871 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
872 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
874 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
875 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
876 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
877 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
879 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
880 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
881 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
882 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
883 same methods for a single role did not work
884 right (worked just fine with multiple
886 - added test for this (stevan)
888 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
889 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
890 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
893 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
894 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
895 - added test for this (t0m)
898 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
899 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
900 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
902 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
903 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
904 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
905 - added test for this (t0m)
907 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
908 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
909 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
910 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
911 - added test for this (perigrin)
914 - create method for constructing a role
916 - added test for this (Sartak)
917 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
918 - added test for this (Sartak)
921 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
923 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
924 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
925 methods is useful (Sartak)
927 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
928 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
929 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
933 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
934 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
935 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
936 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
937 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
938 - added tests for this (jdv79)
941 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
942 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
944 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
945 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
946 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
947 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
948 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
950 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
952 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
953 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
954 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
957 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
958 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
959 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
960 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
961 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
962 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
965 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
966 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
967 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
968 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
969 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
970 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
971 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
972 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
973 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
974 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
975 future. (jnapiorkowski)
977 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
978 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
981 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
982 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
983 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
984 type. (jnapiorkowski)
985 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
987 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
989 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
990 predicate, and link to more details sections in
991 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
993 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
994 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
996 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
997 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
998 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
999 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1002 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1003 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1005 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1007 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1008 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1010 * Moose::Meta::Class
1011 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1012 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1013 a required attribute
1015 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1017 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1018 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1020 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1021 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1023 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1024 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1025 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1026 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1027 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1028 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1029 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1030 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1032 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1033 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1034 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1036 * Roles and role application
1037 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1038 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1039 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1040 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1041 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1043 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1044 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1047 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1048 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1049 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1050 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1051 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1054 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1055 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1056 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1057 changes in the Moose internals.
1059 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1060 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1061 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1064 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1065 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1066 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1067 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1069 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1070 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1071 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1072 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1074 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1075 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1076 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1077 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1078 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1079 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1080 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1081 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1082 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1083 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1084 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1085 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1086 constraint implementations.
1088 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1092 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1093 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1094 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1095 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1096 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1097 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1098 - added tests for this (rafl)
1100 * Moose::Meta::Class
1101 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1102 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1103 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1104 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1105 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1106 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1107 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1108 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1111 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1112 - added tests for this (thepler)
1114 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1115 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1116 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1117 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1120 * Moose::Meta::Class
1121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1122 * Moose::Meta::Method
1125 * Moose::Error::Default
1126 * Moose::Error::Croak
1127 * Moose::Error::Confess
1128 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1129 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1130 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1131 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1132 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1133 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1135 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1137 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1138 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1140 * Moose::Unsweetened
1141 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1142 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1143 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1145 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1146 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1147 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1148 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1149 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1152 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1153 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1155 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1156 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1157 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1158 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1161 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1163 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1164 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1166 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1169 - Various bug fixes.
1171 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1172 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1174 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1176 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1177 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1178 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1179 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1180 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1181 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1183 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1184 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1185 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1187 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1188 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1189 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1192 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1193 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1194 dependency to 0.64_07.
1196 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1197 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1198 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1200 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1201 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1204 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1205 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1206 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1207 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1208 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1209 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1211 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1212 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1214 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1216 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1217 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1221 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1222 method when that method was provided by another role being
1223 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1224 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1226 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1228 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1229 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1231 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1232 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1233 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1234 - added test for this (t0m)
1236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1237 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1238 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1240 - added test for this (t0m)
1243 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1244 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1245 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1248 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1249 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1251 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1253 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1254 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1256 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1257 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1258 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1260 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1261 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1264 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1265 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1266 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1267 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1271 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1272 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1273 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1276 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1277 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1278 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1279 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1282 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1286 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1287 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1288 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1290 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1292 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1293 created so that the process can be more easily
1294 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1296 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1297 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1298 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1299 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1301 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1302 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1305 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1306 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1308 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1309 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1310 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1312 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1313 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1314 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1316 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1317 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1319 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1320 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1323 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1324 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1328 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1329 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1331 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1332 ... this is not my day today ...
1334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1335 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1336 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1337 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1338 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1341 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1342 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1343 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1344 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1345 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1348 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1350 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1351 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1352 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1353 this is not ever something you want to do
1354 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

1383 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1384 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1385 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1386 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1387 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1388 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1389 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1390 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1391 - added tests for this
1393 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1394 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2064 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2067 - fixed how required methods are handled
2068 when they encounter overriden or modified
2069 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2070 - added tests for this
2072 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2073 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2074 the | always creates a union and so is
2075 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2076 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2078 - added more tests for this
2080 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2083 * Parameterized Types
2084 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2085 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2086 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2087 They can also be nested:
2088 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2089 And work with the type unions as well:
2090 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2092 * Better Framework Extendability
2093 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2094 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2095 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2096 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2099 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2100 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2101 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2102 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2105 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2107 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2108 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2139 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2141 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2142 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2143 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2144 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2146 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2147 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2148 - updated the accompanying test as well
2150 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2151 +++ with new features added as well +++
2153 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2157 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2159 - added tests for this
2161 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2167 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2168 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2170 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2171 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2172 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2173 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2187 (thanks to shlomif).
2189 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2190 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2191 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2192 - added tests for this

2229 - added tests for these
2231 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2232 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2235 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2236 to the 'handles' option.
2237 - added tests and docs for this

2239 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
2240 (but not changing the handles option)
2241 - added tests and docs for this
2244 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2245 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2248 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2249 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2250 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2256 the other side (perigrin)
2258 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2259 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2260 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2261 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2262 prototypes for functions
2263 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2264 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2272 merlyn for finding this bug
2273 - tests added for this
2274 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2277 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2278 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2279 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2280 - added tests for this
2282 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2284 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2297 where not handled correctly in roles
2298 - added tests for this
2300 * Moose::Meta::Class
2301 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2302 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2303 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2305 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2306 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2308 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2309 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2310 so this release is just to fix that.
2313 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2314 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2315 (thanks to konobi for this)
2316 - added tests and docs
2318 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2319 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2321 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2322 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2323 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2324 - added tests for this
2325 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2326 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2327 functions to facilitate introspection.
2329 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2330 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2331 to build the list of delegated methods
2332 correctly (and not override important
2333 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2335 - added tests and docs for this
2336 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2337 so that you can actually document your
2338 attributes and inspect them through the
2340 - added tests and docs for this
2342 * Moose::Meta::Class
2343 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2344 it will first look in for the class in the
2345 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2346 then default to just loading $name.
2347 - added tests and docs for this
2349 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2350 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2351 - added test for this
2354 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2355 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2356 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2357 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2359 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2360 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2363 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2365 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2366 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2367 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2370 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2371 !! for this developer release to work !!
2373 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2374 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2375 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2376 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2377 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2378 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2379 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2380 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2381 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2382 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2383 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2385 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2386 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2387 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2388 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2391 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2392 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2393 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2394 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2395 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2397 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2399 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2400 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2403 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2404 called unless they actually need to be.
2405 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2406 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2407 DEMOLISH method present.
2409 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2410 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2411 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2412 type constraint, which allows for a
2413 hand optimized version of the type
2414 constraint to be used when possible.
2415 - Any internally created type constraints
2416 now provide an optimized version as well.
2418 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2420 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2421 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2422 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2424 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2425 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2426 your class namespace of these exported
2429 * Moose::Meta::Class
2430 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2431 comes up during global destruction
2433 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2437 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2440 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2441 - changed how we do type checks so that
2442 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2445 - moved accessor generation methods to
2446 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2447 conform to the API changes from
2450 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2451 - changed how constraints are compiled
2452 so that we do less recursion and more
2453 iteration. This makes the type check
2455 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2459 - created this from methods formerly found in
2460 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2462 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2463 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2465 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2466 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2468 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2469 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2471 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2473 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2474 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2475 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2476 - added tests for this
2477 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2478 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2479 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2480 - removed tests for this
2482 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2484 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2485 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2486 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2489 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2490 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2491 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2493 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2494 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2495 comments for more info.
2498 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2499 asked questions and common problems
2501 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2502 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2503 - added tests for this
2505 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2506 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2507 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2508 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2510 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2511 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2514 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2515 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2516 is much appreciated :)
2517 - added tests for this
2519 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2520 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2521 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2525 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2527 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2529 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2530 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2534 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2535 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2536 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2538 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2540 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2543 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2544 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2545 keywords because we need to localize them.
2546 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2548 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2549 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2550 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2553 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2556 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2557 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2558 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2561 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2562 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2563 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2565 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2567 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2568 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2569 bottom of your class file.
2572 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2575 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2577 - improved error message when loading modules so
2578 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2579 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2580 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2583 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2584 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2585 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2587 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2588 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2590 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2591 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2592 turn them on for you.
2593 - added tests for this
2594 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2595 in Moose::Meta::Class
2598 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2599 automatically turned on for you.
2600 - added tests for this
2603 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2604 - added tests for this
2605 - added some more edge case tests

2618 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2621 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2622 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2623 - This release works in combination with
2624 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2625 release because it uses the a new
2626 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2627 complete Role implementation. It has
2628 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2629 the the previous CPAN version. This
2630 release also lacks good updated docs,
2631 the official release will have updated docs.
2634 - refactored the keyword exports
2635 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2636 accepts more than one Role at a time
2637 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2638 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2641 - refactored the keyword exports
2642 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2643 accepts more than one Role at a time
2645 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2646 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2647 string enumerations which can be used as
2649 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2652 - more careful checking of params to new()
2655 - much work done on the role composition
2656 - many new tests for conflict detection
2657 and composition edge cases
2658 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2659 looking at the tests
2661 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2662 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2663 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2665 * Moose::Meta::Class
2666 - some small changes to support the new
2668 - some small additions to support Roles
2670 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2671 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2673 - some small changes to support the new
2675 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2676 with the 'handles' option
2677 - added several tests for this
2678 - no docs for this yet
2680 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2682 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2683 thanks to chansen for this commit
2684 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2685 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2686 on a per-attribute basis
2687 - added tests for this
2688 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2689 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2690 experimental feature and probably not finished
2691 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2692 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2693 - added tests for this
2696 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2703 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2704 thanks to chansen for this commit

2707 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
2708 construct_instance (for the better)
2710 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2711 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2712 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
