1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
7 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
8 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
10 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
11 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
15 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
16 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
20 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
21 is applied to a class (t0m).
23 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
24 twice in the same sentance (Florian Ragwitz).
26 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
30 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
31 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
33 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
37 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
38 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
40 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
43 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
44 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
45 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
47 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
48 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
49 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
52 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
54 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
58 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
59 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
63 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
65 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
69 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
70 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
74 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
75 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
79 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
85 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
86 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
90 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
91 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
95 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
96 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
98 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
102 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
103 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
104 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
107 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
111 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
112 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
113 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
114 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
116 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
120 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
121 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
122 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
126 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
129 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
133 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
134 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
135 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
139 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
140 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
142 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
143 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
144 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
145 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
147 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
151 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
155 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
156 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
158 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
159 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
160 - Moose::Util::does_role
161 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
162 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
163 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
165 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
169 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
170 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
171 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
174 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
178 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
179 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
182 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
186 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
187 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
190 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
194 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
196 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
197 class. (Dave Rolsky).
199 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
200 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
201 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
203 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
204 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
205 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
208 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
209 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
211 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
212 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
213 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
215 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
217 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
218 substr et al, again. (sorear)
220 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
222 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
225 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
226 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
228 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
229 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
231 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
232 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
233 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
234 dependencies installed.
236 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
237 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
240 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
242 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
246 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
248 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
249 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
250 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
252 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
253 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
254 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
256 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
257 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
260 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
261 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
262 others. (nothingmuch)
264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
265 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
266 remove_accessors. (doy)
268 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
269 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
270 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
273 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
275 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
276 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
277 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
278 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
281 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
282 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
284 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
285 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
287 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
289 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
290 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
293 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
294 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
295 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
296 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
297 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
299 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
300 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
301 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
302 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
303 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
304 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
305 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
308 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
309 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
310 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
311 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
312 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
314 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
315 which were not receiving the value of
316 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
317 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
318 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
319 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
323 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
324 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
325 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
326 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
327 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
331 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
332 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
333 - added tests for this (Stevan)
336 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
337 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
338 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
341 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
343 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
345 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
346 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
347 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
350 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
351 class if you pass it options for
352 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
353 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
354 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
355 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
356 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
357 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
358 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
359 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
360 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
362 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
363 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
364 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
365 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
366 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
369 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
370 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
371 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
372 existing delegation API. (hdp)
374 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
375 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
376 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
377 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
378 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
379 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
382 * Moose::Error::Croak
383 * Moose::Error::Confess
384 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
385 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
388 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
391 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
392 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
393 installing a broken sub. (doy)
396 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
399 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
400 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
401 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
403 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
404 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
405 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
406 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
407 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
409 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
410 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
413 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
415 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
416 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
419 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
420 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
422 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
423 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
424 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
425 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
427 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
428 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
429 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
430 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
431 using it for new code!
433 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
434 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
435 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
436 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
438 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
439 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
440 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
441 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
442 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
443 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
444 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
445 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
448 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
451 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
452 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
455 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
456 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
459 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
460 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
463 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
464 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
465 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
468 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
469 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
472 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
473 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
476 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
477 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
478 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
479 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
480 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
481 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
483 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
485 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
488 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
489 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
490 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
492 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
493 associated_methods. (hdp)
494 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
495 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
496 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
497 misspelled) arguments
499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
500 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
501 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
502 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
504 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
505 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
506 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
508 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
512 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
513 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
516 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
517 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
519 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
521 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
522 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
524 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
525 * Moose::Manual::Types
526 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
527 string parsing rathole (mst)
529 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
530 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
531 using plain objects instead
533 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
534 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
537 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
539 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
540 three times today (perigrin)
541 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
542 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
544 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
545 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
546 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
547 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
550 - A role's required methods are now represented by
551 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
552 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
553 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
554 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
555 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
558 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
559 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
560 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
561 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
564 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
566 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
569 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
571 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
574 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
575 during global destruction. This method has been made more
576 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
580 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
581 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
584 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
585 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
587 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
588 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
589 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
592 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
594 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
595 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
598 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
602 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
603 methods during global destruction (doy)
606 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
607 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
611 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
612 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
615 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
616 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
619 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
620 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
622 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
624 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
628 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
629 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
630 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
633 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
634 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
635 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
638 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
640 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
641 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
642 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
645 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
646 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
647 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
648 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
650 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
651 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
652 of the Moose core (Sartak)
655 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
658 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
659 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
660 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
664 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
665 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
668 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
670 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
673 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
674 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
677 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
678 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
681 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
682 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
685 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
688 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
691 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
695 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
697 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
698 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
701 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
702 * More deprecations and renamings
703 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
704 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
705 when an object is constructed)
708 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
709 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
710 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
712 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
713 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
714 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
715 feature, and it works again.
718 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
720 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
722 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
723 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
724 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
726 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
727 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
728 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
729 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
730 message. Test provided by perigrin.
732 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
733 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
734 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
735 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
736 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
739 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
740 metaclass object. (hdp)
742 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
743 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
744 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
745 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
746 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
747 point out this fact. (hdp)
749 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
750 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
752 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
753 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
756 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
757 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
758 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
759 called during instance construction were passed the
760 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
761 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
763 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
764 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
767 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
768 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
769 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
772 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
773 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
774 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
775 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
776 them, but they are not for "public" use.
779 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
781 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
782 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
783 when an object is constructed)
784 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
786 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
787 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
788 when an object is constructed)
789 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
790 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
791 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
794 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
796 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
797 * No changes from 0.72_01.
799 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
801 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
802 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
803 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
805 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
806 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
807 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
809 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
811 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
812 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
814 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
815 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
818 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
819 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
822 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
823 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
824 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
826 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
827 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
831 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
832 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
833 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
835 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
836 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
839 * Moose::Manual::Delta
840 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
841 with recommended workarounds.
843 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
844 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
846 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
847 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
848 (yes, spelled like that).
850 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
851 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
854 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
855 changes in latest Class::MOP.
857 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
859 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
860 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
861 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
862 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
863 instead. Reported by doy.
865 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
867 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
868 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
870 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
871 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
872 message) is now deprecated.
873 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
874 often got it wrong. For example:
876 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
878 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
882 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
883 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
884 bite you in weird cases.
886 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
887 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
888 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
891 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
892 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
896 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
899 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
900 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
903 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
904 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
906 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
907 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
910 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
911 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
912 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
913 - added tests for this (stevan)
915 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
916 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
917 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
918 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
922 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
923 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
924 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
925 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
927 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
928 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
929 - added tests for this (rafl)
931 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
932 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
933 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
934 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
938 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
939 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
942 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
943 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
944 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
946 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
948 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
949 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
952 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
953 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
954 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
955 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
957 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
958 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
959 error message did not specify the attribute name
962 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
964 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
966 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
967 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
968 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
970 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
971 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
974 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
976 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
977 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
978 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
979 of fixes and formatting improvements.
981 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
983 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
984 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
985 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
986 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
988 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
989 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
990 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
992 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
993 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
994 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
995 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
996 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
999 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1000 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1001 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1002 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1005 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1006 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1007 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1008 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1009 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1011 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1012 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1013 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1014 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1015 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1016 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1018 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1019 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1021 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1022 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1023 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1024 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1026 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1027 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1030 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1034 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1035 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1037 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1038 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1039 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1040 guts. (nothingmuch).
1042 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1043 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1044 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1046 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1047 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1048 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1049 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1051 * Moose::Meta::Class
1052 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1055 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1056 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1058 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1059 * Moose::Unsweetened
1060 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1063 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1064 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1065 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1066 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1067 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1068 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1070 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1071 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1072 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1073 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1074 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1075 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1076 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1077 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1078 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1079 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1081 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1083 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1084 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1086 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1087 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1088 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1089 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1091 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1092 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1093 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1094 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1095 same methods for a single role did not work
1096 right (worked just fine with multiple
1098 - added test for this (stevan)
1100 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1101 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1102 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1105 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1106 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1107 - added test for this (t0m)
1110 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1111 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1112 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1115 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1116 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1117 - added test for this (t0m)
1119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1120 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1121 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1122 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1123 - added test for this (perigrin)
1126 - create method for constructing a role
1127 dynamically (Sartak)
1128 - added test for this (Sartak)
1129 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1130 - added test for this (Sartak)
1133 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1135 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1136 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1137 methods is useful (Sartak)
1139 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1141 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1144 * Moose::Meta::Class
1145 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1146 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1147 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1148 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1149 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1150 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1153 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1154 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1156 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1157 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1158 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1159 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1160 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1162 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1164 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1165 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1166 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1169 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1170 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1171 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1172 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1173 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1174 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1177 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1178 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1179 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1180 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1181 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1182 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1183 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1184 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1185 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1186 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1187 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1189 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1190 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1193 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1194 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1195 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1196 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1197 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1199 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1201 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1202 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1203 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1205 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1206 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1209 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1210 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1211 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1214 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1215 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1217 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1219 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1220 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1222 * Moose::Meta::Class
1223 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1224 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1225 a required attribute
1227 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1228 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1229 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1230 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1233 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1235 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1236 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1237 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1238 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1239 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1240 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1241 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1242 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1244 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1245 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1246 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1248 * Roles and role application
1249 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1250 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1251 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1252 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1253 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1255 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1256 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1259 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1260 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1261 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1262 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1263 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1266 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1267 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1268 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1269 changes in the Moose internals.
1271 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1273 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1276 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1277 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1278 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1279 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1281 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1282 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1283 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1284 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1286 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1287 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1288 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1289 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1290 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1291 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1292 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1293 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1294 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1295 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1296 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1297 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1298 constraint implementations.
1300 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1304 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1305 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1306 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1307 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1308 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1309 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1310 - added tests for this (rafl)
1312 * Moose::Meta::Class
1313 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1314 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1315 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1316 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1317 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1318 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1319 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1320 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1323 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1324 - added tests for this (thepler)
1326 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1327 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1328 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1329 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1332 * Moose::Meta::Class
1333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1334 * Moose::Meta::Method
1337 * Moose::Error::Default
1338 * Moose::Error::Croak
1339 * Moose::Error::Confess
1340 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1341 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1342 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1343 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1344 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1345 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1347 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1349 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1350 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1352 * Moose::Unsweetened
1353 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1354 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1355 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1357 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1358 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1359 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1360 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1361 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1364 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually

1368 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1369 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1370 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1376 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1378 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1381 - Various bug fixes.

1417 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1418 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1419 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1420 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1421 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1423 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1424 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

1456 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1457 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1460 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1461 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1463 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

1466 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1468 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

1544 ... this is not my day today ...
1546 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1547 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that

1550 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1553 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1554 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1555 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

1557 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1560 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1562 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1563 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1595 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1596 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1597 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1598 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1599 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1600 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1601 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1602 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1603 - added tests for this
1605 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1606 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1607 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1716 XS based functionality is now optional
1717 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

1822 drink more coffee before
1823 doing release engineering

2078 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
2080 * Moose::Meta::Class
2081 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2082 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2083 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2084 method in the first place ;)
2086 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2087 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~

2095 cleanup of the role system
2096 - 100% backwards compat.
2097 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2098 classes based on type of applicants

2102 - new Composite role metaclass
2103 - runtime application of roles to instances
2104 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2105 classes when applicable

2143 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2147 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2149 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2150 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2151 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2190 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2191 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2194 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2195 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2196 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2197 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2201 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2202 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2203 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2211 - added docs for this
2213 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2214 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2232 with work correctly.
2233 - added tests for this
2236 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2237 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2240 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

2276 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2279 - fixed how required methods are handled
2280 when they encounter overriden or modified
2281 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2282 - added tests for this
2284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2285 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2286 the | always creates a union and so is
2287 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2288 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2290 - added more tests for this
2292 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2295 * Parameterized Types
2296 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2297 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2298 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2299 They can also be nested:
2300 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2301 And work with the type unions as well:
2302 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2304 * Better Framework Extendability
2305 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2306 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2307 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2308 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2311 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2312 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2313 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2314 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2317 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2319 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2320 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2323 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2379 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2380 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2382 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2452 (but not changing the handles option)
2453 - added tests and docs for this
2456 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2457 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2471 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2472 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2473 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2474 prototypes for functions
2475 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2476 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2486 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2489 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2490 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2491 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2492 - added tests for this
2494 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2496 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2518 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2520 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2521 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2522 so this release is just to fix that.
2525 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2526 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2527 (thanks to konobi for this)

2538 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2539 functions to facilitate introspection.
2541 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2542 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2543 to build the list of delegated methods
2544 correctly (and not override important
2545 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2547 - added tests and docs for this
2548 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2549 so that you can actually document your
2550 attributes and inspect them through the
2552 - added tests and docs for this
2554 * Moose::Meta::Class
2555 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2556 it will first look in for the class in the
2557 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2558 then default to just loading $name.
2559 - added tests and docs for this
2561 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2562 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2563 - added test for this
2566 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2567 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2568 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2569 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2571 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2572 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2575 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2577 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2578 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2579 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2582 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2583 !! for this developer release to work !!
2585 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2586 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2587 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2588 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2589 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2590 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2591 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2592 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2593 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2594 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2595 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2597 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2598 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2599 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2600 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2603 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2604 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2605 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2606 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2607 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2609 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2611 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2612 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2615 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2616 called unless they actually need to be.
2617 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2618 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2619 DEMOLISH method present.
2621 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2622 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2623 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2624 type constraint, which allows for a
2625 hand optimized version of the type
2626 constraint to be used when possible.
2627 - Any internally created type constraints
2628 now provide an optimized version as well.
2630 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2632 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2633 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2634 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2636 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2637 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2638 your class namespace of these exported
2641 * Moose::Meta::Class
2642 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2643 comes up during global destruction
2645 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2649 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2652 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2653 - changed how we do type checks so that
2654 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2657 - moved accessor generation methods to
2658 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2659 conform to the API changes from
2662 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2663 - changed how constraints are compiled
2664 so that we do less recursion and more
2665 iteration. This makes the type check
2667 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2670 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2671 - created this from methods formerly found in
2672 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2674 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2675 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2677 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2678 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2680 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2681 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2683 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2685 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2686 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2687 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2688 - added tests for this
2689 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2690 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2691 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2692 - removed tests for this
2694 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2696 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2697 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2698 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2701 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2702 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2703 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2705 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2706 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2707 comments for more info.
2710 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2711 asked questions and common problems
2713 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2714 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2715 - added tests for this
2717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2718 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2719 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2720 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2722 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2723 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2726 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2727 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2728 is much appreciated :)
2729 - added tests for this
2731 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2732 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2733 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2736 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2737 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2739 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2741 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2742 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2746 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2747 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2748 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2750 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2752 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2755 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2756 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2757 keywords because we need to localize them.
2758 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2760 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2761 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2762 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2765 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2768 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2769 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2770 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2773 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2774 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2775 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2777 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2779 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2780 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2781 bottom of your class file.
2784 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2787 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2789 - improved error message when loading modules so
2790 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2791 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2792 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2795 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2796 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2797 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2800 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2802 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2803 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2804 turn them on for you.
2805 - added tests for this
2806 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2807 in Moose::Meta::Class
2810 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2811 automatically turned on for you.
2812 - added tests for this
2815 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2816 - added tests for this

2833 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2834 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2835 - This release works in combination with
2836 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2837 release because it uses the a new
2838 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2839 complete Role implementation. It has
2840 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2841 the the previous CPAN version. This
2842 release also lacks good updated docs,
2843 the official release will have updated docs.
2846 - refactored the keyword exports
2847 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2848 accepts more than one Role at a time
2849 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2850 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2853 - refactored the keyword exports
2854 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2855 accepts more than one Role at a time
2857 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2858 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2859 string enumerations which can be used as
2861 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2864 - more careful checking of params to new()
2867 - much work done on the role composition
2868 - many new tests for conflict detection
2869 and composition edge cases
2870 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2871 looking at the tests
2873 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2874 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2875 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2877 * Moose::Meta::Class

2882 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2883 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2885 - some small changes to support the new
2887 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2888 with the 'handles' option
2889 - added several tests for this
2890 - no docs for this yet

2894 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2895 thanks to chansen for this commit
2896 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2897 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2898 on a per-attribute basis
2899 - added tests for this
2900 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2901 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2902 experimental feature and probably not finished
