1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
6 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
9 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
10 class if you pass it options for
11 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
12 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
13 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
15 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
16 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
17 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
18 existing delegation API. (hdp)
20 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
21 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
22 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
23 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
24 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
25 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
29 * Moose::Error::Confess
30 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
31 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
34 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
37 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
38 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
40 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
41 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
42 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
43 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
44 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
46 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
47 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
50 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
52 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
53 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
56 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
57 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
59 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
60 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
61 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
62 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
64 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
65 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
66 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
67 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
68 using it for new code!
70 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
71 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
72 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
73 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
76 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
77 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
78 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
79 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
80 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
81 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
82 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
85 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
88 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
89 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
92 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
93 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
95 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
96 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
97 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
100 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
101 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
102 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
105 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
106 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
108 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
109 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
110 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
113 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
115 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
116 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
117 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
118 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
120 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
122 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
125 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
126 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
127 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
129 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
130 associated_methods. (hdp)
131 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
132 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
133 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
134 misspelled) arguments
136 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
137 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
138 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
139 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
141 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
142 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
143 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
145 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
149 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
150 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
153 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
154 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
156 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
158 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
159 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
161 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
162 * Moose::Manual::Types
163 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
164 string parsing rathole (mst)
166 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
167 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
168 using plain objects instead
170 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
171 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
174 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
176 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
177 three times today (perigrin)
178 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
179 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
182 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
183 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
184 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
187 - A role's required methods are now represented by
188 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
189 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
190 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
191 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
192 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
195 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
196 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
197 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
198 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
201 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
203 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
206 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
208 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
211 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
212 during global destruction. This method has been made more
213 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
217 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
218 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
221 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
222 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
224 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
225 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
226 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
229 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
231 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
232 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
235 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
239 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
240 methods during global destruction (doy)
243 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
244 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
248 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
249 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
252 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
253 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
256 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
257 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
259 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
261 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
265 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
266 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
267 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
270 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
271 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
272 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
275 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
277 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
278 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
279 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
282 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
283 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
284 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
285 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
287 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
288 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
289 of the Moose core (Sartak)
292 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
295 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
296 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
297 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
301 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
302 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
305 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
307 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
310 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
311 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
314 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
315 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
318 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
319 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
322 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
325 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
328 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
332 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
334 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
335 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
338 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
339 * More deprecations and renamings
340 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
341 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
342 when an object is constructed)
345 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
346 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
347 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
349 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
350 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
351 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
352 feature, and it works again.
355 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
357 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
359 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
360 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
361 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
363 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
364 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
365 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
366 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
367 message. Test provided by perigrin.
369 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
370 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
371 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
372 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
373 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
376 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
377 metaclass object. (hdp)
379 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
380 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
381 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
382 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
383 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
384 point out this fact. (hdp)
386 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
387 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
389 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
390 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
393 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
394 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
395 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
396 called during instance construction were passed the
397 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
398 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
400 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
401 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
404 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
405 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
406 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
409 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
410 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
411 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
412 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
413 them, but they are not for "public" use.
416 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
418 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
419 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
420 when an object is constructed)
421 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
423 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
424 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
425 when an object is constructed)
426 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
427 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
428 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
431 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
433 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
434 * No changes from 0.72_01.
436 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
438 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
439 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
440 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
442 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
443 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
444 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
446 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
448 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
449 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
451 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
452 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
455 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
456 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
459 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
460 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
461 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
464 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
468 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
469 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
470 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
472 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
473 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
476 * Moose::Manual::Delta
477 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
478 with recommended workarounds.
480 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
481 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
483 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
484 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
485 (yes, spelled like that).
487 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
488 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
491 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
492 changes in latest Class::MOP.
494 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
496 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
497 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
498 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
499 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
500 instead. Reported by doy.
502 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
504 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
505 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
507 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
508 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
509 message) is now deprecated.
510 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
511 often got it wrong. For example:
513 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
515 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
519 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
520 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
521 bite you in weird cases.
523 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
524 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
525 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
528 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
529 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
533 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
536 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
537 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
540 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
541 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
543 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
544 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
547 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
548 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
549 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
550 - added tests for this (stevan)
552 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
553 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
554 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
555 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
559 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
560 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
561 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
562 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
564 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
565 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
566 - added tests for this (rafl)
568 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
569 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
570 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
571 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
575 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
576 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
579 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
580 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
581 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
583 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
585 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
586 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
589 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
590 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
591 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
592 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
595 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
596 error message did not specify the attribute name
599 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
601 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
603 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
604 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
605 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
607 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
608 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
611 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
613 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
614 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
615 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
616 of fixes and formatting improvements.
618 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
620 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
621 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
622 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
623 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
625 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
626 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
627 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
629 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
630 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
631 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
632 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
633 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
636 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
637 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
638 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
639 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
641 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
642 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
643 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
644 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
645 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
646 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
648 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
649 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
650 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
651 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
652 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
653 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
655 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
656 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
658 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
659 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
660 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
661 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
663 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
664 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
667 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
671 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
672 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
674 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
675 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
676 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
679 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
681 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
683 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
684 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
685 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
686 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
689 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
692 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
693 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
695 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
697 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
700 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
701 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
702 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
703 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
704 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
705 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
707 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
708 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
709 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
710 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
711 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
712 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
713 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
714 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
715 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
716 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
718 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
720 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
721 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
723 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
724 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
725 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
726 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
728 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
729 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
730 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
731 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
732 same methods for a single role did not work
733 right (worked just fine with multiple
735 - added test for this (stevan)
737 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
738 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
739 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
742 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
743 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
744 - added test for this (t0m)
747 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
748 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
749 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
751 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
752 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
753 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
754 - added test for this (t0m)
756 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
757 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
758 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
759 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
760 - added test for this (perigrin)
763 - create method for constructing a role
765 - added test for this (Sartak)
766 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
767 - added test for this (Sartak)
770 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
772 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
773 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
774 methods is useful (Sartak)
776 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
777 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
778 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
782 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
783 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
784 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
785 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
786 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
787 - added tests for this (jdv79)
790 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
791 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
793 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
794 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
795 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
796 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
797 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
799 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
801 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
802 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
803 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
806 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
807 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
808 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
809 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
810 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
811 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
815 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
816 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
817 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
818 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
819 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
820 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
821 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
822 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
823 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
824 future. (jnapiorkowski)
826 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
827 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
830 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
831 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
832 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
833 type. (jnapiorkowski)
834 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
836 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
838 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
839 predicate, and link to more details sections in
840 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
842 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
843 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
845 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
846 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
847 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
848 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
851 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
852 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
854 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
856 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
857 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
860 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
861 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
864 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
865 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
866 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
867 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
869 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
870 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
872 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
873 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
874 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
875 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
876 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
877 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
878 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
879 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
881 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
882 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
883 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
885 * Roles and role application
886 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
887 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
888 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
889 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
890 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
892 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
893 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
896 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
897 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
898 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
899 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
900 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
903 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
904 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
905 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
906 changes in the Moose internals.
908 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
909 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
910 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
913 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
914 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
915 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
916 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
918 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
919 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
920 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
921 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
923 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
924 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
925 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
926 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
927 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
928 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
929 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
930 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
931 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
932 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
933 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
934 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
935 constraint implementations.
937 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
941 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
942 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
943 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
944 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
945 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
946 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
947 - added tests for this (rafl)
950 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
951 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
952 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
953 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
954 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
955 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
956 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
957 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
960 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
961 - added tests for this (thepler)
963 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
964 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
965 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
966 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
970 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
971 * Moose::Meta::Method
974 * Moose::Error::Default
975 * Moose::Error::Croak
976 * Moose::Error::Confess
977 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
978 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
979 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
980 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
981 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
982 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
984 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
986 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
987 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
990 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
991 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
992 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
994 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
995 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
996 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
997 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
998 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1001 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1002 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1004 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1005 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1006 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1007 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1010 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1012 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1013 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1015 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1018 - Various bug fixes.
1020 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1021 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1023 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1025 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1026 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1027 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1028 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1029 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1030 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1032 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1033 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1034 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1036 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1037 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1038 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1041 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1042 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1043 dependency to 0.64_07.
1045 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1046 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1047 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1049 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1050 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1053 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1054 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1055 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1056 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1057 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1058 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1060 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1061 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1063 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1065 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1066 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1070 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1071 method when that method was provided by another role being
1072 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1073 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1075 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1077 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1078 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1080 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1081 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1082 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1083 - added test for this (t0m)
1085 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1086 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1087 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1089 - added test for this (t0m)
1092 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1093 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1094 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1097 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1098 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1100 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1102 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1103 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1105 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1106 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1107 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1109 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1110 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1113 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1114 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1115 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1116 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1120 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1121 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1122 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1125 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1126 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1127 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1128 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1131 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1135 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1136 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1137 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1139 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1141 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1142 created so that the process can be more easily
1143 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1145 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1146 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1147 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1148 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1150 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1151 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1154 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1155 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1157 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1158 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1159 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1161 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1162 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1163 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1165 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1166 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1168 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1169 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1172 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1173 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1177 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1178 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1180 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1181 ... this is not my day today ...
1183 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1184 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1185 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1186 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1187 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1190 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1191 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1192 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1193 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1194 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1197 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1199 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1200 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1201 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1202 this is not ever something you want to do
1203 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1204 - added tests for this (stevan)
1207 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1209 - added test for this
1211 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1212 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1213 - added tests for this (wreis)
1215 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1216 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1217 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1218 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1220 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1221 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1222 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1225 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1227 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1229 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1232 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1233 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1234 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1235 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1236 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1237 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1238 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1239 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1240 - added tests for this
1242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1243 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1244 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1245 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1247 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1249 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1250 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1251 - added tests for this (sartak)
1252 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1253 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1256 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1258 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1259 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1261 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1263 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1264 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1266 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1268 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1269 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1272 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1273 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1274 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1277 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1278 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1280 - added docs for this (TODO).
1281 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1282 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1283 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1284 - fix builder and default both being used
1289 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1291 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1292 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1293 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1297 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1301 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1302 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1303 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1305 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1306 - move the ClassName type check code to
1307 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1309 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1310 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1312 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1313 (early morning release engineering)--
1315 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1316 which was causing the indexer to choke
1318 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1319 (late night release engineering)--
1321 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1322 changes in this release
1324 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1325 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1326 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1328 * Moose::Meta::Class
1329 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1330 since it is called so often by &meta
1332 * Moose::Meta::Class
1334 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1335 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1338 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1339 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1340 method for immutablization to check if the
1341 destructor object even needs to be created
1344 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1345 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1346 - added more descriptive error message to help
1347 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1348 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1350 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1352 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1353 XS based functionality is now optional
1354 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1355 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1356 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1358 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1359 to take care of this, mostly we added
1360 support for the package_name and name
1361 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1362 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1363 support regexp matching of names
1364 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1365 - tests added for this
1366 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1367 is currently not supported in roles,
1368 but, ... patches welcome
1369 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1370 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1371 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1374 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1375 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1376 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1377 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1378 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1379 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1380 - added test for this
1382 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1383 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1384 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1387 * Moose::Meta::Class

1430 ->body when looping through the
1431 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1433 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was

1459 drink more coffee before
1460 doing release engineering
1462 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1463 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1464 modules. This fixes that.
1466 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1467 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1468 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

1577 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1579 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1580 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1623 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1624 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1625 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed

1917 when they encounter overriden or modified
1918 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1919 - added tests for this
1921 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1922 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1923 the | always creates a union and so is
1924 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1925 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1927 - added more tests for this
1929 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1932 * Parameterized Types
1933 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1934 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1935 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1936 They can also be nested:
1937 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1938 And work with the type unions as well:
1939 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1941 * Better Framework Extendability
1942 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1943 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1944 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1945 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1948 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1949 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1950 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1951 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2080 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2081 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2083 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2084 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2085 to the 'handles' option.
2086 - added tests and docs for this
2087 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
2088 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
2089 (but not changing the handles option)
2090 - added tests and docs for this
2093 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2094 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2095 - adjusted tests for this
2097 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2098 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2099 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
2100 * Moose::Meta::Class
2101 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
2102 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
2103 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2104 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2105 the other side (perigrin)
2107 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2109 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2110 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2111 prototypes for functions
2112 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2113 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2114 - added tests and docs for this
2115 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2116 default for where be { 1 }

2120 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2121 merlyn for finding this bug
2122 - tests added for this
2123 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2126 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2127 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2128 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2129 - added tests for this
2131 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2133 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2145 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2146 where not handled correctly in roles
2147 - added tests for this
2149 * Moose::Meta::Class
2150 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2151 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2152 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2154 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2155 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2157 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2158 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2159 so this release is just to fix that.
2162 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2163 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2164 (thanks to konobi for this)
2165 - added tests and docs
2167 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2175 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2176 functions to facilitate introspection.
2178 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2179 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2180 to build the list of delegated methods
2181 correctly (and not override important
2182 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2184 - added tests and docs for this
2185 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2186 so that you can actually document your
2187 attributes and inspect them through the
2189 - added tests and docs for this
2191 * Moose::Meta::Class
2192 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2193 it will first look in for the class in the
2194 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2195 then default to just loading $name.
2196 - added tests and docs for this
2198 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2199 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2200 - added test for this
2203 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2204 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2205 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2206 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2208 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2209 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2212 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2214 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2215 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2216 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2219 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2220 !! for this developer release to work !!
2222 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2223 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2224 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2225 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2226 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2227 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2228 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2229 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2230 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2231 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2232 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2234 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2235 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2236 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2237 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2240 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2241 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2242 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2243 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2244 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2246 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2248 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2249 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2252 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2253 called unless they actually need to be.
2254 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2255 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2256 DEMOLISH method present.
2258 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2259 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2260 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2261 type constraint, which allows for a
2262 hand optimized version of the type
2263 constraint to be used when possible.
2264 - Any internally created type constraints
2265 now provide an optimized version as well.
2267 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2269 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2270 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2271 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2273 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2274 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2275 your class namespace of these exported
2278 * Moose::Meta::Class
2279 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2280 comes up during global destruction
2282 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2286 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2289 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2290 - changed how we do type checks so that
2291 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2294 - moved accessor generation methods to
2295 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2296 conform to the API changes from
2299 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2300 - changed how constraints are compiled
2301 so that we do less recursion and more
2302 iteration. This makes the type check
2304 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2308 - created this from methods formerly found in
2309 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2311 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2312 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2314 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2315 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2317 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2318 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2320 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2322 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2323 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2324 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2325 - added tests for this
2326 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2327 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2328 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2329 - removed tests for this
2331 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2333 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2334 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2335 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2338 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2339 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2340 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2342 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2343 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2344 comments for more info.
2347 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2348 asked questions and common problems
2350 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2351 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2352 - added tests for this
2354 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2355 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2356 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2357 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2359 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2360 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2363 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2364 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2365 is much appreciated :)
2366 - added tests for this
2368 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2369 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2370 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2373 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2374 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2376 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2378 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2379 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2383 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2384 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2385 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2387 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2389 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2392 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2393 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2394 keywords because we need to localize them.
2395 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2397 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2398 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2399 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2402 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2405 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2406 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2407 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2410 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2411 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2412 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2414 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2416 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2417 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2418 bottom of your class file.
2421 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2424 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2426 - improved error message when loading modules so
2427 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2428 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2429 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2432 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2433 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2434 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2436 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2437 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2439 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2440 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2441 turn them on for you.
2442 - added tests for this
2443 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2444 in Moose::Meta::Class

2471 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2472 - This release works in combination with
2473 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2474 release because it uses the a new
2475 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2476 complete Role implementation. It has
2477 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2478 the the previous CPAN version. This
2479 release also lacks good updated docs,
2480 the official release will have updated docs.
2483 - refactored the keyword exports
2484 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2485 accepts more than one Role at a time

2491 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2492 accepts more than one Role at a time
2494 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2496 string enumerations which can be used as
2498 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2501 - more careful checking of params to new()
2504 - much work done on the role composition
2505 - many new tests for conflict detection
2506 and composition edge cases
2507 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2508 looking at the tests
2510 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2511 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2512 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2514 * Moose::Meta::Class

2533 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2534 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2535 on a per-attribute basis
2536 - added tests for this
