1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
9 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
11 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
12 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
13 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
15 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
16 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
17 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
21 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
22 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
25 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
26 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
27 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
28 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
31 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
32 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
34 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
35 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
37 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
39 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
40 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
43 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
44 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
45 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
46 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
47 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
49 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
50 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
51 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
52 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
53 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
54 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
55 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
58 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
59 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
60 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
61 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
62 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
64 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
65 which were not receiving the value of
66 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
67 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
68 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
69 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
73 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
74 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
75 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
77 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
78 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
79 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
80 - added tests for this (Stevan)
83 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
84 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
85 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
88 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
89 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
90 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
92 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
93 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
94 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
97 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
98 class if you pass it options for
99 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
100 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
101 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
102 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
103 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
104 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
105 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
106 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
107 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
109 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
110 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
111 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
112 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
113 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
116 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
118 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
119 existing delegation API. (hdp)
121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
122 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
123 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
124 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
125 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
126 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
129 * Moose::Error::Croak
130 * Moose::Error::Confess
131 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
132 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
135 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
138 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
139 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
140 installing a broken sub. (doy)
143 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
146 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
147 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
148 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
150 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
151 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
152 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
153 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
154 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
156 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
157 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
160 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
162 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
163 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
166 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
167 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
169 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
170 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
171 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
172 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
174 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
175 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
176 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
177 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
178 using it for new code!
180 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
181 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
182 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
183 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
185 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
186 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
187 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
188 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
189 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
190 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
191 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
192 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
195 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
198 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
199 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
202 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
203 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
205 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
206 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
207 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
211 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
212 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
215 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
216 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
219 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
220 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
223 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
224 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
225 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
226 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
227 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
228 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
230 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
232 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
235 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
236 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
237 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
239 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
240 associated_methods. (hdp)
241 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
242 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
243 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
244 misspelled) arguments
246 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
247 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
248 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
249 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
251 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
252 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
253 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
255 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
259 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
260 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
263 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
264 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
266 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
268 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
269 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
271 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
272 * Moose::Manual::Types
273 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
274 string parsing rathole (mst)
276 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
277 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
278 using plain objects instead
280 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
281 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
284 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
286 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
287 three times today (perigrin)
288 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
289 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
291 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
292 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
293 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
294 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
297 - A role's required methods are now represented by
298 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
299 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
300 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
301 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
302 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
305 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
306 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
307 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
308 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
311 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
313 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
316 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
318 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
321 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
322 during global destruction. This method has been made more
323 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
327 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
328 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
331 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
332 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
334 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
335 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
336 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
339 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
341 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
342 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
345 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
349 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
350 methods during global destruction (doy)
353 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
354 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
358 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
359 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
362 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
363 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
366 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
367 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
369 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
371 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
375 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
376 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
377 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
380 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
381 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
382 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
385 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
387 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
388 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
389 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
392 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
393 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
394 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
395 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
397 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
398 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
399 of the Moose core (Sartak)
402 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
405 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
406 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
407 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
411 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
412 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
415 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
417 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
420 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
421 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
424 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
425 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
428 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
429 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
432 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
435 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
437 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
438 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
442 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
444 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
445 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
448 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
449 * More deprecations and renamings
450 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
451 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
452 when an object is constructed)
455 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
456 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
457 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
459 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
460 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
461 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
462 feature, and it works again.
465 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
467 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
469 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
470 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
471 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
473 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
474 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
475 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
476 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
477 message. Test provided by perigrin.
479 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
480 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
481 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
482 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
483 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
486 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
487 metaclass object. (hdp)
489 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
490 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
491 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
492 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
493 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
494 point out this fact. (hdp)
496 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
497 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
499 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
500 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
503 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
504 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
505 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
506 called during instance construction were passed the
507 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
508 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
510 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
511 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
514 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
515 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
516 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
519 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
520 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
521 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
522 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
523 them, but they are not for "public" use.
526 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
528 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
529 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
530 when an object is constructed)
531 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
533 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
534 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
535 when an object is constructed)
536 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
537 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
538 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
541 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
543 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
544 * No changes from 0.72_01.
546 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
548 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
549 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
550 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
552 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
553 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
554 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
556 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
558 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
559 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
561 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
562 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
565 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
566 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
569 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
570 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
571 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
573 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
574 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
578 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
579 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
580 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
582 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
583 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
586 * Moose::Manual::Delta
587 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
588 with recommended workarounds.
590 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
591 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
593 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
594 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
595 (yes, spelled like that).
597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
598 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
601 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
602 changes in latest Class::MOP.
604 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
606 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
607 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
608 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
609 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
610 instead. Reported by doy.
612 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
614 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
615 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
618 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
619 message) is now deprecated.
620 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
621 often got it wrong. For example:
623 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
625 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
629 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
630 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
631 bite you in weird cases.
633 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
634 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
635 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
638 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
639 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
643 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
646 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
647 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
650 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
651 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
653 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
654 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
657 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
658 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
659 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
660 - added tests for this (stevan)
662 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
663 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
664 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
665 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
669 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
670 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
671 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
672 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
674 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
675 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
676 - added tests for this (rafl)
678 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
679 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
680 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
681 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
685 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
686 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
689 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
690 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
691 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
693 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
695 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
696 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
699 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
700 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
701 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
702 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
704 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
705 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
706 error message did not specify the attribute name
709 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
711 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
713 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
714 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
715 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
717 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
718 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
721 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
723 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
724 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
725 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
726 of fixes and formatting improvements.
728 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
730 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
731 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
732 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
733 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
735 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
736 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
737 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
739 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
740 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
741 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
742 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
743 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
745 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
746 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
747 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
748 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
749 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
751 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
752 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
753 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
754 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
755 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
756 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
758 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
759 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
760 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
761 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
762 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
763 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
765 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
766 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
768 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
769 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
770 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
771 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
773 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
774 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
777 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
781 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
782 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
784 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
785 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
786 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
789 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
790 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
791 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
793 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
794 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
795 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
796 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
799 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
802 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
803 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
805 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
807 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
810 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
811 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
812 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
813 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
814 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
815 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
817 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
818 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
819 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
820 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
821 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
822 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
823 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
824 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
825 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
826 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
828 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
830 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
831 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
834 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
835 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
836 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
838 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
839 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
840 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
841 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
842 same methods for a single role did not work
843 right (worked just fine with multiple
845 - added test for this (stevan)
847 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
848 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
849 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
852 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
853 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
854 - added test for this (t0m)
857 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
858 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
859 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
862 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
863 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
864 - added test for this (t0m)
866 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
867 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
868 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
869 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
870 - added test for this (perigrin)
873 - create method for constructing a role
875 - added test for this (Sartak)
876 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
877 - added test for this (Sartak)
880 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
882 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
883 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
884 methods is useful (Sartak)
886 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
887 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
888 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
892 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
893 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
894 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
895 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
896 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
897 - added tests for this (jdv79)
900 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
901 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
903 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
904 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
905 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
906 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
907 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
909 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
911 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
912 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
913 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
916 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
917 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
918 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
919 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
920 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
921 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
924 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
925 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
926 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
927 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
928 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
929 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
930 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
931 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
932 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
933 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
934 future. (jnapiorkowski)
936 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
937 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
940 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
941 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
942 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
943 type. (jnapiorkowski)
944 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
946 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
948 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
949 predicate, and link to more details sections in
950 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
953 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
955 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
956 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
957 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
958 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
961 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
962 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
964 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
966 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
967 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
970 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
971 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
974 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
975 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
976 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
977 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
979 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
980 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
983 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
984 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
985 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
986 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
987 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
988 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
989 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
991 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
992 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
993 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
995 * Roles and role application
996 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
997 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
998 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
999 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1000 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1002 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1003 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1006 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1007 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1008 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1009 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1010 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1013 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1014 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1015 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1016 changes in the Moose internals.
1018 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1020 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1023 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1024 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1025 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1026 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1029 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1030 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1031 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1033 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1034 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1035 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1036 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1037 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1038 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1039 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1040 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1041 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1042 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1043 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1044 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1045 constraint implementations.
1047 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1051 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1052 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1053 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1054 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1055 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1056 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1057 - added tests for this (rafl)
1059 * Moose::Meta::Class
1060 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1061 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1062 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1063 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1064 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1065 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1066 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1067 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1070 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1071 - added tests for this (thepler)
1073 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1074 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1075 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1076 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1079 * Moose::Meta::Class
1080 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1081 * Moose::Meta::Method
1084 * Moose::Error::Default
1085 * Moose::Error::Croak
1086 * Moose::Error::Confess
1087 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1088 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1089 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1090 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1091 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1092 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1094 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1096 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1097 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1099 * Moose::Unsweetened
1100 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1101 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1102 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1104 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1105 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1106 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1107 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1108 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1111 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1112 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1114 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1115 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1116 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1117 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1120 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1122 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1123 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1125 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1128 - Various bug fixes.
1130 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1131 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1133 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1135 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1136 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1137 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1138 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1139 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1140 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1142 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1143 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1144 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1146 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1147 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1148 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1151 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1152 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1153 dependency to 0.64_07.
1155 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1156 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1157 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1159 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1160 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1163 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1164 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1165 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1166 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1167 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1168 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1170 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1171 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1173 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1175 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1176 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1180 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1181 method when that method was provided by another role being
1182 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1183 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1185 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1187 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1188 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1191 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1192 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1193 - added test for this (t0m)
1195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1196 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1197 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1199 - added test for this (t0m)
1202 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1203 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1204 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1207 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1208 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1210 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1212 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1213 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1215 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1216 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1217 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1219 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1220 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1223 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1224 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1225 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1226 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1230 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1231 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1232 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1235 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1236 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1237 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1238 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1241 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1245 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1246 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1247 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1249 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1251 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1252 created so that the process can be more easily
1253 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1256 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1257 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1258 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1261 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1264 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1265 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1267 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1268 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1269 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1271 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1272 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1273 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1275 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1276 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1278 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1279 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1282 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1283 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1287 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1288 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1290 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1291 ... this is not my day today ...
1293 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1294 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1295 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1296 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1297 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1300 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1301 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1302 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1303 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1304 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1307 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1309 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1310 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1311 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1312 this is not ever something you want to do
1313 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1314 - added tests for this (stevan)
1317 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1319 - added test for this
1321 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1322 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1323 - added tests for this (wreis)
1325 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1326 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1327 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1328 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1330 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1331 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1332 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1335 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1337 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1339 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1342 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1343 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1344 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1345 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1346 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1347 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1348 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1349 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1350 - added tests for this
1352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1353 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1354 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1355 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2047 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2048 And work with the type unions as well:
2049 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2051 * Better Framework Extendability
2052 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2053 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2054 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2055 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2058 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2059 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2060 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2061 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2064 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2066 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2067 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2070 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2102 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2103 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2105 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2106 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2107 - updated the accompanying test as well
2109 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2110 +++ with new features added as well +++
2112 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2116 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2118 - added tests for this
2120 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2126 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2127 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2129 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2149 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2150 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2199 (but not changing the handles option)
2200 - added tests and docs for this
2203 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2204 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2208 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2209 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2215 the other side (perigrin)
2217 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2218 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2219 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2220 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2221 prototypes for functions
2222 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2223 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2231 merlyn for finding this bug
2232 - tests added for this
2233 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2236 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2237 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2238 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2239 - added tests for this
2241 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2243 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2264 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2265 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2267 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2268 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2269 so this release is just to fix that.
2272 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2273 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2274 (thanks to konobi for this)
2275 - added tests and docs
2277 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2285 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2286 functions to facilitate introspection.
2288 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2289 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2290 to build the list of delegated methods
2291 correctly (and not override important
2292 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2294 - added tests and docs for this
2295 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2296 so that you can actually document your
2297 attributes and inspect them through the
2299 - added tests and docs for this
2301 * Moose::Meta::Class
2302 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2303 it will first look in for the class in the
2304 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2305 then default to just loading $name.
2306 - added tests and docs for this
2308 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2309 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2310 - added test for this
2313 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2314 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2315 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2316 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2318 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2319 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2322 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2324 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2325 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2326 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2329 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2330 !! for this developer release to work !!
2332 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2333 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2334 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2335 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2336 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2337 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2338 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2339 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2340 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2341 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2342 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2344 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2345 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2346 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2347 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2350 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2352 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2353 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2354 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2356 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2358 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2359 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2362 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2363 called unless they actually need to be.
2364 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2365 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2366 DEMOLISH method present.
2368 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2369 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2370 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2371 type constraint, which allows for a
2372 hand optimized version of the type
2373 constraint to be used when possible.
2374 - Any internally created type constraints
2375 now provide an optimized version as well.
2377 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2379 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2380 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2381 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2383 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2384 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2385 your class namespace of these exported
2388 * Moose::Meta::Class
2389 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2390 comes up during global destruction
2392 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2396 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2399 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2400 - changed how we do type checks so that
2401 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2404 - moved accessor generation methods to
2405 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2406 conform to the API changes from
2409 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2410 - changed how constraints are compiled
2411 so that we do less recursion and more
2412 iteration. This makes the type check
2414 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2417 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2418 - created this from methods formerly found in
2419 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2421 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2422 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2424 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2425 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2427 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2428 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2430 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2432 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2433 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2434 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2435 - added tests for this
2436 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2437 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2438 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2439 - removed tests for this
2441 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2443 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2444 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2445 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2448 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2449 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2450 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2452 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2453 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2454 comments for more info.
2457 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2458 asked questions and common problems
2460 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2461 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2462 - added tests for this
2464 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2465 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2466 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2467 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2469 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2470 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2473 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2474 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2475 is much appreciated :)
2476 - added tests for this
2478 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2479 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2480 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2483 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2484 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2486 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2488 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2489 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2493 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2494 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2495 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2497 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2499 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2502 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2503 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2504 keywords because we need to localize them.
2505 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2507 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2508 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2509 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2512 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2515 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2516 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2517 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2520 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2521 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2522 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2524 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2526 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2527 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2528 bottom of your class file.
2531 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2534 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2536 - improved error message when loading modules so
2537 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2538 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2539 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2542 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2543 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2544 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2546 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2547 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2549 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2550 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2551 turn them on for you.
2552 - added tests for this
2553 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2554 in Moose::Meta::Class
2557 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2558 automatically turned on for you.

2581 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2582 - This release works in combination with
2583 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2584 release because it uses the a new
2585 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2586 complete Role implementation. It has
2587 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2588 the the previous CPAN version. This
2589 release also lacks good updated docs,
2590 the official release will have updated docs.
2593 - refactored the keyword exports
2594 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2595 accepts more than one Role at a time

2597 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2600 - refactored the keyword exports
2601 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2602 accepts more than one Role at a time
2604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2606 string enumerations which can be used as
2608 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2611 - more careful checking of params to new()
2614 - much work done on the role composition
2615 - many new tests for conflict detection
2616 and composition edge cases
2617 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2618 looking at the tests
2620 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2621 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2622 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2641 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2642 thanks to chansen for this commit
2643 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2644 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2645 on a per-attribute basis
2646 - added tests for this
2647 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2648 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2649 experimental feature and probably not finished
2650 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2651 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2652 - added tests for this
2655 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
