1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
7 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
8 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
11 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
12 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
15 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
16 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
19 - Make method_metaclass an attr so can accept a metarole application.
22 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
24 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
25 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
29 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
31 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
32 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
35 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
36 * More deprecations and renamings
37 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
38 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
39 when an object is constructed)
42 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
43 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
44 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
46 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
47 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
48 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
49 feature, and it works again.
51 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
53 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
54 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
55 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
57 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
58 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
59 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
60 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
61 message. Test provided by perigrin.
63 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
64 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
65 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
66 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
67 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
70 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
71 metaclass object. (hdp)
73 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
74 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
75 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
76 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
77 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
78 point out this fact. (hdp)
80 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
81 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
83 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
84 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
87 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
88 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
89 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
90 called during instance construction were passed the
91 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
92 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
94 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
95 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
98 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
99 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
100 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
103 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
104 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
105 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
106 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
107 them, but they are not for "public" use.
110 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
112 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
113 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
114 when an object is constructed)
115 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
117 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
118 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
119 when an object is constructed)
120 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
121 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
122 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
125 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
127 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
128 * No changes from 0.72_01.
130 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
132 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
133 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
134 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
136 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
137 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
138 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
140 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
142 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
143 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
145 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
146 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
149 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
150 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
153 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
154 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
155 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
158 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
162 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
163 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
164 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
166 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
167 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
170 * Moose::Manual::Delta
171 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
172 with recommended workarounds.
174 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
175 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
177 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
178 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
179 (yes, spelled like that).
181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
182 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
185 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
186 changes in latest Class::MOP.
188 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
191 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
192 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
193 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
194 instead. Reported by doy.
196 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
198 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
199 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
201 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
202 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
203 message) is now deprecated.
204 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
205 often got it wrong. For example:
207 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
209 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
213 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
214 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
215 bite you in weird cases.
217 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
218 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
219 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
222 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
223 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
227 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
230 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
231 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
234 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
235 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
237 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
238 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
241 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
242 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
243 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
244 - added tests for this (stevan)
246 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
247 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
248 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
249 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
253 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
254 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
255 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
256 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
258 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
259 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
260 - added tests for this (rafl)
262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
263 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
264 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
265 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
269 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
270 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
273 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
274 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
275 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
277 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
279 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
280 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
283 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
284 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
285 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
286 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
289 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
290 error message did not specify the attribute name
293 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
295 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
297 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
298 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
299 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
301 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
302 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
305 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
307 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
308 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
309 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
310 of fixes and formatting improvements.
312 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
314 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
315 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
316 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
317 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
319 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
320 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
321 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
324 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
325 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
326 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
327 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
329 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
330 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
331 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
332 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
333 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
335 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
336 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
337 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
338 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
339 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
340 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
342 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
343 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
344 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
345 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
346 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
347 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
349 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
350 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
352 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
353 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
354 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
355 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
357 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
358 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
361 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
365 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
366 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
368 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
369 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
370 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
373 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
374 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
375 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
377 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
378 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
379 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
380 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
383 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
386 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
387 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
389 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
391 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
394 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
395 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
396 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
397 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
398 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
399 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
401 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
402 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
403 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
404 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
405 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
406 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
407 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
408 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
409 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
410 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
412 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
414 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
415 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
418 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
419 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
420 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
422 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
423 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
424 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
425 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
426 same methods for a single role did not work
427 right (worked just fine with multiple
429 - added test for this (stevan)
431 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
432 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
433 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
436 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
437 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
438 - added test for this (t0m)
441 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
442 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
443 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
446 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
447 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
448 - added test for this (t0m)
450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
451 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
452 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
453 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
454 - added test for this (perigrin)
457 - create method for constructing a role
459 - added test for this (Sartak)
460 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
461 - added test for this (Sartak)
464 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
466 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
467 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
468 methods is useful (Sartak)
470 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
471 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
472 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
476 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
477 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
478 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
479 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
480 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
481 - added tests for this (jdv79)
484 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
485 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
487 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
488 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
489 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
490 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
491 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
493 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
495 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
496 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
497 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
500 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
501 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
502 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
503 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
504 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
505 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
508 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
509 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
510 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
511 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
512 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
513 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
514 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
515 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
516 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
517 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
518 future. (jnapiorkowski)
520 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
521 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
525 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
526 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
527 type. (jnapiorkowski)
528 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
530 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
532 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
533 predicate, and link to more details sections in
534 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
536 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
537 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
539 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
540 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
541 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
542 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
545 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
546 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
548 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
550 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
551 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
554 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
555 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
558 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
559 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
560 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
561 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
563 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
564 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
566 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
567 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
568 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
569 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
570 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
571 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
572 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
573 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
575 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
576 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
577 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
579 * Roles and role application
580 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
581 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
582 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
583 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
584 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
586 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
587 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
590 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
591 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
592 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
593 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
594 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
597 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
598 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
599 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
600 changes in the Moose internals.
602 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
603 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
604 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
607 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
608 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
609 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
610 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
612 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
613 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
614 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
615 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
618 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
619 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
620 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
621 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
622 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
623 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
624 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
625 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
626 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
627 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
628 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
629 constraint implementations.
631 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
635 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
636 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
637 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
638 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
639 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
640 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
641 - added tests for this (rafl)
644 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
645 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
646 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
647 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
648 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
649 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
650 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
651 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
654 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
655 - added tests for this (thepler)
657 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
658 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
659 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
660 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
664 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
665 * Moose::Meta::Method
668 * Moose::Error::Default
669 * Moose::Error::Croak
670 * Moose::Error::Confess
671 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
672 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
673 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
674 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
675 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
676 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
678 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
680 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
681 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
684 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
685 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
686 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
688 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
689 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
690 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
691 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
692 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
695 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
696 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)

699 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
700 several major changes in this release of Moose.
701 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
704 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
706 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
707 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
709 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the

743 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
744 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not

748 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
749 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
750 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
751 coincidental exception. (t0m).
752 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
754 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
755 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

781 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
783 - added test for this (t0m)

787 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
788 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
791 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
792 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
794 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
796 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
799 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
800 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
801 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
803 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

874 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
875 ... this is not my day today ...
877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
878 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
879 clone_and_inherit options still works for
880 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
881 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
884 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
885 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
886 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

891 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
893 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
894 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

926 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
927 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
928 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
929 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
930 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
931 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
932 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
933 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
934 - added tests for this
936 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
937 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1409 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
1411 * Moose::Meta::Class
1412 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
1413 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1414 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
1415 method in the first place ;)
1417 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
1418 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
1419 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
1421 Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
1422 - (see the POD for details)
1424 * <<Role System Refactoring>>
1425 - this release contains a major reworking and
1426 cleanup of the role system
1427 - 100% backwards compat.
1428 - Role application now restructured into seperate
1429 classes based on type of applicants
1430 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
1431 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
1432 used in this process
1433 - new Composite role metaclass
1434 - runtime application of roles to instances
1435 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
1436 classes when applicable
1438 * <<New Role composition features>>
1439 - methods can now be excluded from a given role

1466 (thanks to nothingmuch)
1468 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1469 - added this module to support the refactor
1470 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1472 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1473 - refactored how these types are handled so they
1474 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
1478 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
1480 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1481 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
1482 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
1484 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

1520 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1521 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
1522 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
1525 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1526 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1527 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1528 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

1532 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1533 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1534 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

1536 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
1537 - added tests for this.
1538 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
1539 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
1540 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
1541 - added tests for this
1542 - added docs for this
1544 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1545 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
1546 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
1547 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
1548 instead it will just return undef.

1563 with work correctly.
1564 - added tests for this
1567 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1568 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
1571 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
1572 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
1573 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
1575 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

1607 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1610 - fixed how required methods are handled
1611 when they encounter overriden or modified
1612 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1613 - added tests for this
1615 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1616 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1617 the | always creates a union and so is
1618 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1619 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1621 - added more tests for this
1623 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1626 * Parameterized Types
1627 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1628 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1629 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1630 They can also be nested:
1631 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1632 And work with the type unions as well:
1633 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1635 * Better Framework Extendability
1636 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1637 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1638 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1639 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1642 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1643 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1644 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1645 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1648 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1650 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1651 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
1654 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

1710 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1711 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1713 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

1783 (but not changing the handles option)
1784 - added tests and docs for this
1787 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1788 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1803 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1804 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1805 prototypes for functions
1806 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1807 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1817 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1820 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1821 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1822 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1823 - added tests for this
1825 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1827 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1849 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1851 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1852 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1853 so this release is just to fix that.
1856 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1857 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1858 (thanks to konobi for this)

1869 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1870 functions to facilitate introspection.
1872 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1873 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1874 to build the list of delegated methods
1875 correctly (and not override important
1876 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1878 - added tests and docs for this
1879 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1880 so that you can actually document your
1881 attributes and inspect them through the
1883 - added tests and docs for this
1885 * Moose::Meta::Class
1886 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1887 it will first look in for the class in the
1888 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1889 then default to just loading $name.
1890 - added tests and docs for this
1892 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1893 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1894 - added test for this
1897 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1898 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1899 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1900 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1902 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1903 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1906 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1908 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1909 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1910 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1913 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1914 !! for this developer release to work !!
1916 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1917 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1918 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1919 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1920 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1921 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1922 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1923 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1924 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1925 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1926 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1928 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1929 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1930 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1931 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1934 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1935 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1936 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1937 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1938 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1940 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1942 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1943 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1946 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1947 called unless they actually need to be.
1948 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1949 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1950 DEMOLISH method present.
1952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1953 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1954 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1955 type constraint, which allows for a
1956 hand optimized version of the type
1957 constraint to be used when possible.
1958 - Any internally created type constraints
1959 now provide an optimized version as well.
1961 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1963 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1964 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1965 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1967 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1968 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1969 your class namespace of these exported
1972 * Moose::Meta::Class
1973 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1974 comes up during global destruction
1976 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1980 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1984 - changed how we do type checks so that
1985 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1988 - moved accessor generation methods to
1989 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1990 conform to the API changes from
1993 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1994 - changed how constraints are compiled
1995 so that we do less recursion and more
1996 iteration. This makes the type check
1998 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2001 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2002 - created this from methods formerly found in
2003 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2005 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2006 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2008 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2009 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2011 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2012 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2014 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2016 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2017 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2018 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2019 - added tests for this
2020 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2021 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2022 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2023 - removed tests for this
2025 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2027 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2028 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2029 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2032 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2033 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2034 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2036 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2037 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2038 comments for more info.
2041 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2042 asked questions and common problems
2044 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2045 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2046 - added tests for this
2048 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2049 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2050 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2051 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2053 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2054 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2057 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2058 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2059 is much appreciated :)
2060 - added tests for this
2062 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2063 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2064 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2067 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2068 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2070 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2072 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2073 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2077 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2078 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2079 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2081 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2083 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2086 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2087 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2088 keywords because we need to localize them.
2089 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2091 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2092 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2093 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2096 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2099 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2100 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2101 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2104 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2105 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2106 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2108 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2110 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2111 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2112 bottom of your class file.
2115 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2118 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2120 - improved error message when loading modules so
2121 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2122 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2123 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2126 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2127 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2128 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2131 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2133 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2134 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2135 turn them on for you.
2136 - added tests for this
2137 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2138 in Moose::Meta::Class
2141 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2142 automatically turned on for you.
2143 - added tests for this
2146 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2147 - added tests for this
2148 - added some more edge case tests
2150 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006

2161 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2164 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2165 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2166 - This release works in combination with
2167 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2168 release because it uses the a new
2169 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2170 complete Role implementation. It has
2171 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2172 the the previous CPAN version. This
2173 release also lacks good updated docs,
2174 the official release will have updated docs.
2177 - refactored the keyword exports
2178 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2179 accepts more than one Role at a time
2180 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2181 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2184 - refactored the keyword exports
2185 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2186 accepts more than one Role at a time
2188 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2189 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2190 string enumerations which can be used as
2192 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2195 - more careful checking of params to new()
2198 - much work done on the role composition
2199 - many new tests for conflict detection
2200 and composition edge cases
2201 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2202 looking at the tests
2204 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2205 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2206 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2208 * Moose::Meta::Class
2209 - some small changes to support the new
2211 - some small additions to support Roles
2213 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2214 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2216 - some small changes to support the new
2218 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2219 with the 'handles' option
2220 - added several tests for this
2221 - no docs for this yet
2223 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2225 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2226 thanks to chansen for this commit
2227 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2228 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2229 on a per-attribute basis
2230 - added tests for this
2231 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2232 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2233 experimental feature and probably not finished
2234 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2235 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2236 - added tests for this
