1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
10 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
14 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
17 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
18 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
19 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
21 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
24 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
28 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
30 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
34 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
36 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
40 * Include changes from 2.0010.
42 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
46 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
47 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
51 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
52 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
53 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
58 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
60 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
64 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
65 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
67 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
71 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
73 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
77 * Various packaging issues.
79 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
83 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
84 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
89 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
90 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
91 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
95 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
96 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
97 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
99 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
103 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
104 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
106 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
110 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
111 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
113 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
116 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
117 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
121 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
122 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
124 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
128 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
129 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
133 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
135 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
139 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
141 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
145 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
146 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
148 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
152 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
154 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
158 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
160 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
161 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
163 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
167 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
168 skips every other role. (rjbs)
170 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
171 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
172 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
173 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
174 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
176 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
180 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
181 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
182 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
185 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
190 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
192 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
193 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
195 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
199 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
200 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
201 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
205 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
206 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
208 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
209 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
211 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
212 environments. (doy, mateu)
214 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
218 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
219 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
220 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
221 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
225 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
226 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
228 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
232 * Update conflicts list.
235 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
239 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
240 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
241 details. (Dave Rolsky)
243 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
244 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
245 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
246 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
247 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
251 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
252 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
253 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
254 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
255 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
258 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
262 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
263 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
265 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
268 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
272 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
273 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
274 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
275 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
277 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
278 immutable classes). (mo)
280 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
281 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
282 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
284 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
288 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
290 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
292 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
296 * Fix some indexing issues.
298 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
300 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
304 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
305 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
306 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
307 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
308 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
310 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
311 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
316 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
317 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
318 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
319 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
321 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
322 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
323 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
327 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
328 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
331 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
335 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
336 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
340 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
344 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
345 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
346 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
347 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
350 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
354 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
357 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
361 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
362 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
363 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
366 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
370 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
371 policy. (Chris Prather)
373 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
374 on this new support policy. (doy)
378 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
379 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
380 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
382 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
383 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
385 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
389 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
390 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
391 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
392 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
395 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
399 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
400 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
403 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
407 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
408 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
410 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
411 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
415 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
416 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
417 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
418 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
419 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
420 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
422 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
423 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
425 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
426 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
427 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
428 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
430 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
431 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
433 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
438 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
439 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
441 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
445 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
446 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
447 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
449 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
453 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
454 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
455 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
457 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
458 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
461 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
462 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
465 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
466 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
467 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
469 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
470 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
475 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
476 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
477 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
478 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
480 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
481 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
483 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
484 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
486 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
487 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
488 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
489 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
491 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
492 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
493 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
496 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
497 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
498 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
499 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
501 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
502 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
505 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
506 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
507 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
509 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
513 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
514 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
515 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
517 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
518 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
519 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
522 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
523 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
524 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
526 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
527 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
528 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
530 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
531 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
535 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
536 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
537 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
539 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
540 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
541 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
542 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
544 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
548 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
549 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
550 value is a reference.
552 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
553 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
555 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
559 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
560 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
561 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
563 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
567 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
568 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
572 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
573 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
574 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
576 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
577 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
578 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
580 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
584 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
586 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
590 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
592 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
593 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
598 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
599 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
601 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
602 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
603 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
604 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
605 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
607 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
608 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
609 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
610 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
612 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
616 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
617 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
622 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
624 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
626 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
631 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
633 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
637 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
638 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
639 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
641 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
642 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
643 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
644 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
646 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
647 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
648 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
649 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
650 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
653 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
658 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
659 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
660 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
661 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
662 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
665 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
669 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
672 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
673 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
677 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
678 function (not just method). (doy)
682 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
683 and aren't easily installable/testable.
685 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
689 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
690 to be overridden more easily (doy).
692 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
696 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
697 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
699 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
703 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
704 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
705 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
707 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
711 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
712 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
713 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
715 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
716 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
720 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
721 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
723 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
724 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
728 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
729 is applied to a class (t0m).
731 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
732 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
734 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
737 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
738 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
740 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
741 be much more robust. (doy)
743 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
745 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
748 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
752 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
753 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
755 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
759 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
760 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
762 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
765 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
766 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
767 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
769 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
770 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
771 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
774 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
776 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
780 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
781 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
785 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
787 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
791 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
792 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
796 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
797 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
801 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
803 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
807 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
808 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
812 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
813 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
817 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
818 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
820 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
824 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
825 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
826 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
829 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
833 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
834 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
835 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
836 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
838 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
842 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
843 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
844 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
848 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
851 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
855 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
856 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
857 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
861 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
862 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
864 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
865 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
866 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
867 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
869 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
873 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
877 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
878 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
880 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
881 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
882 - Moose::Util::does_role
883 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
884 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
885 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
887 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
891 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
892 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
893 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
896 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
900 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
901 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
904 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
908 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
909 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
912 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
916 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
918 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
919 class. (Dave Rolsky).
921 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
922 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
923 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
925 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
926 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
927 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
930 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
931 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
933 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
934 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
935 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
937 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
939 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
940 substr et al, again. (sorear)
942 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
944 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
947 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
948 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
950 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
951 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
953 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
954 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
955 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
956 dependencies installed.
958 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
959 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
962 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
964 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
968 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
970 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
971 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
972 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
974 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
975 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
976 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
978 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
979 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
982 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
983 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
984 others. (nothingmuch)
986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
987 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
988 remove_accessors. (doy)
990 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
991 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
992 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
995 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
997 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
999 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1000 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1002 * Moose::Meta::Class
1003 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1004 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1006 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1007 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1009 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1011 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1012 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1015 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1016 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1017 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1018 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1019 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1021 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1022 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1023 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1024 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1025 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1026 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1027 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1030 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1031 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1032 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1033 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1034 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1036 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1037 which were not receiving the value of
1038 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1039 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1040 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1041 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1045 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1046 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1047 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1048 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1049 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1052 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1053 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1054 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1055 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1057 * Moose::Meta::Class
1058 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1059 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1060 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1063 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1064 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1065 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1067 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1068 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1069 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1072 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1073 class if you pass it options for
1074 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1075 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1076 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1077 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1078 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1079 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1080 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1081 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1082 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1084 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1085 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1086 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1087 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1088 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1091 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1092 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1093 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1094 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1096 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1097 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1098 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1099 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1100 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1101 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1104 * Moose::Error::Croak
1105 * Moose::Error::Confess
1106 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1107 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1110 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1113 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1114 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1115 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1117 * Moose::Meta::Class
1118 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1121 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1122 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1123 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1125 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1126 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1127 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1128 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1129 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1131 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1132 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1135 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1137 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1138 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1141 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1142 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1144 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1145 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1146 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1147 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1149 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1150 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1151 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1152 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1153 using it for new code!
1155 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1156 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1157 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1158 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1160 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1161 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1162 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1163 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1164 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1165 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1166 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1167 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1170 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1173 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1174 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1177 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1178 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1180 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1181 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1182 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1184 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1185 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1186 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1187 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1189 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1190 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1191 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1193 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1194 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1195 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1198 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1199 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1200 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1201 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1202 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1203 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1205 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1207 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1210 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1211 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1212 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1214 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1215 associated_methods. (hdp)
1216 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1217 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1218 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1219 misspelled) arguments
1221 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1222 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1223 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1224 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1227 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1228 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1230 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1233 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1234 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1235 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1238 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1239 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1241 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1242 * Moose::Meta::Class
1243 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1244 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1246 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1247 * Moose::Manual::Types
1248 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1249 string parsing rathole (mst)
1251 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1252 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1253 using plain objects instead
1255 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1256 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1257 that's what we need.
1259 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1260 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1261 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1262 three times today (perigrin)
1263 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1264 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1266 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1267 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1268 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1269 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1272 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1273 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1274 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1275 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1276 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1277 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1280 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1281 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1282 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1283 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1286 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1288 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1291 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1293 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1296 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1297 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1298 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1302 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1303 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1306 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1307 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1309 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1310 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1311 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1313 * Moose::Unsweetened
1314 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1316 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1317 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1320 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1324 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1325 methods during global destruction (doy)
1327 * Moose::Meta::Class
1328 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1329 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1330 consumption (Sartak)
1332 * Moose::Meta::Class
1333 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1334 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1337 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1338 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1341 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1342 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1344 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1346 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1350 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1351 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1352 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1355 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1356 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1357 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1360 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1362 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1363 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1364 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1367 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1368 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1369 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1370 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1372 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1373 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1374 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1377 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1380 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1381 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1382 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1386 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1387 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1389 * Moose::Meta::Class
1390 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1392 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1394 * Moose::Meta::Class
1395 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1396 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1399 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1400 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1403 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1404 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1407 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1410 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1413 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1416 * Moose::Meta::Class
1417 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1419 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1420 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1423 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1424 * More deprecations and renamings
1425 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1426 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1427 when an object is constructed)
1430 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1431 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1432 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1435 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1436 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1437 feature, and it works again.
1440 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1442 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1444 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1445 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1446 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1448 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1449 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1450 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1451 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1452 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1454 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1455 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1456 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1457 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1458 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1461 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1462 metaclass object. (hdp)
1464 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1465 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1466 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1467 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1468 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1469 point out this fact. (hdp)
1471 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1472 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1474 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1475 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1477 * Moose::Meta::Class
1478 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1479 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1480 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1481 called during instance construction were passed the
1482 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1483 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1485 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1486 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1489 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1490 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1491 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1494 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1495 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1496 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1497 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1498 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1500 - Moose::Meta::Class
1501 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1503 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1504 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1505 when an object is constructed)
1506 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1508 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1509 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1510 when an object is constructed)
1511 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1512 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1513 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1516 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1518 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1519 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1521 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1523 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1524 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1525 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1527 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1528 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1529 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1531 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1533 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1534 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1536 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1537 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1540 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1541 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1544 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1545 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1546 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1548 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1549 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1553 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1554 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1555 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1558 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1561 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1562 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1563 with recommended workarounds.
1565 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1566 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1568 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1569 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1570 (yes, spelled like that).
1572 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1573 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1575 * Moose::Meta::Class
1576 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1577 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1579 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1581 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1582 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1583 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1584 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1585 instead. Reported by doy.
1587 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1589 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1590 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1592 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1593 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1594 message) is now deprecated.
1595 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1596 often got it wrong. For example:
1598 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1600 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1604 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1605 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1606 bite you in weird cases.
1608 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1609 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1610 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1611 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1613 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1614 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1618 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1621 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1622 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1625 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1626 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1628 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1629 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1632 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1633 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1634 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1635 - added tests for this (stevan)
1637 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1638 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1639 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1640 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1644 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1645 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1646 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1647 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1649 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1650 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1651 - added tests for this (rafl)
1653 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1654 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1655 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1656 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1660 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1661 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1664 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1665 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1666 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1668 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1670 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1671 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1673 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1674 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1675 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1676 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1677 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1679 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1680 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1681 error message did not specify the attribute name
1684 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1686 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1688 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1689 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1690 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1692 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1693 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1696 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1698 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1699 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1700 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1701 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1703 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1705 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1706 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1707 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1708 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1710 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1711 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1712 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1714 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1715 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1716 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1717 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1718 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1720 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1721 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1722 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1723 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1724 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1726 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1727 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1728 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1729 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1730 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1731 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1733 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1734 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1735 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1736 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1737 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1738 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1740 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1741 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1743 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1744 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1745 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1746 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1748 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1749 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1752 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1756 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1757 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1759 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1760 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1761 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1762 guts. (nothingmuch).
1764 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1765 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1766 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1768 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1769 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1770 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1771 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1773 * Moose::Meta::Class
1774 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1777 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1778 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1780 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1781 * Moose::Unsweetened
1782 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1785 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1786 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1787 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1788 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1789 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1790 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1792 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1793 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1794 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1795 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1796 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1797 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1798 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1799 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1800 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1801 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1803 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1805 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1806 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1808 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1809 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1810 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1811 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1813 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1814 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1815 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1816 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1817 same methods for a single role did not work
1818 right (worked just fine with multiple
1820 - added test for this (stevan)
1822 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1823 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1824 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1827 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1828 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1829 - added test for this (t0m)
1832 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1833 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1834 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1836 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1837 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1838 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1839 - added test for this (t0m)
1841 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1842 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1843 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1844 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1845 - added test for this (perigrin)
1848 - create method for constructing a role
1849 dynamically (Sartak)
1850 - added test for this (Sartak)
1851 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1852 - added test for this (Sartak)
1855 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1857 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1858 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1859 methods is useful (Sartak)
1861 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1862 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1863 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1866 * Moose::Meta::Class
1867 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1868 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1869 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1870 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1871 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1872 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1875 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1876 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1878 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1879 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1880 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1881 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1882 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1884 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1886 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1887 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1888 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1891 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1892 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1893 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1894 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1895 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1896 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1899 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1900 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1901 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1902 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1903 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1904 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1905 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1906 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1907 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1908 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1909 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1911 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1912 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1915 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1916 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1917 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1918 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1919 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1921 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1923 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1924 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1925 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1927 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1928 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1930 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1931 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1932 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1933 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1936 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1937 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1939 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1941 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1942 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1944 * Moose::Meta::Class
1945 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1946 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1947 a required attribute
1949 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1950 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1951 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1952 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1954 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1955 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1957 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1958 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1959 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1960 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1961 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1962 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1963 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1964 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1966 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1967 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1968 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1970 * Roles and role application
1971 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1972 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1973 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1974 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1975 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1977 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1978 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1981 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1982 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1983 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1984 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1985 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1988 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1989 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1990 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1991 changes in the Moose internals.
1993 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1995 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1998 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1999 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2000 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2001 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2003 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2004 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2005 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2006 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2008 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2009 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2010 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2011 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2012 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2013 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2014 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2015 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2016 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2017 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2018 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2019 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2020 constraint implementations.
2022 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2026 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2027 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2028 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2029 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2030 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2031 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2032 - added tests for this (rafl)
2034 * Moose::Meta::Class
2035 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2036 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2037 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2038 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2039 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2040 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2041 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2042 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2045 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2046 - added tests for this (thepler)
2048 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2049 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2050 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2051 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2054 * Moose::Meta::Class
2055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2056 * Moose::Meta::Method
2059 * Moose::Error::Default
2060 * Moose::Error::Croak
2061 * Moose::Error::Confess
2062 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2063 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2064 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2065 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2066 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2067 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2069 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2071 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2072 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2074 * Moose::Unsweetened
2075 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2076 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2077 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2079 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2080 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it

2083 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2086 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2087 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)

2090 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2091 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2092 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2139 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2140 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2141 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2142 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2143 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2145 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2146 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

2179 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2182 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2183 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2185 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2188 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2190 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2266 ... this is not my day today ...
2268 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2269 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2270 clone_and_inherit options still works for

2272 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2275 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2276 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2277 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2279 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2282 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2284 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2285 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2317 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2318 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2319 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2320 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2321 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2322 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2323 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2324 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2325 - added tests for this
2327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2328 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2329 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2435 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2437 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2438 XS based functionality is now optional
2439 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2544 drink more coffee before
2545 doing release engineering

2803 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2804 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2805 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2806 method in the first place ;)
2808 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008

2869 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2871 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2872 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2873 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2911 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2912 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2913 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2916 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2917 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2918 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2919 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2935 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2936 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2955 - added tests for this
2958 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2959 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2998 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3001 - fixed how required methods are handled
3002 when they encounter overriden or modified
3003 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3004 - added tests for this
3006 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3007 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3008 the | always creates a union and so is
3009 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3010 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3012 - added more tests for this
3014 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3017 * Parameterized Types
3018 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3019 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3020 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3021 They can also be nested:
3022 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3023 And work with the type unions as well:
3024 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3026 * Better Framework Extendability
3027 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3028 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3029 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3030 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3033 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3034 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3035 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3036 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3039 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3041 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3042 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3102 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3104 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3174 (but not changing the handles option)
3175 - added tests and docs for this
3178 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3179 so that required methods can come from superclasses

3190 the other side (perigrin)
3192 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3193 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3194 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3195 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3196 prototypes for functions
3197 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3198 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3199 - added tests and docs for this

3208 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3211 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3212 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3213 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3214 - added tests for this
3216 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3218 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3219 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

3244 so this release is just to fix that.
3247 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3248 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3249 (thanks to konobi for this)

3260 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3261 functions to facilitate introspection.
3263 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3264 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3265 to build the list of delegated methods
3266 correctly (and not override important
3267 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3269 - added tests and docs for this
3270 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3271 so that you can actually document your
3272 attributes and inspect them through the
3274 - added tests and docs for this
3276 * Moose::Meta::Class
3277 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3278 it will first look in for the class in the
3279 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3280 then default to just loading $name.
3281 - added tests and docs for this
3283 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3284 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3285 - added test for this
3288 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3289 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3290 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3291 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3293 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3294 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3297 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3299 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3300 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3301 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3304 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3305 !! for this developer release to work !!
3307 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3308 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3309 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3310 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3311 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3312 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3313 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3314 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3315 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3316 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3317 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3319 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3320 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3321 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3322 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3325 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3327 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3328 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3329 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3331 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3333 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3334 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3337 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3338 called unless they actually need to be.
3339 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3340 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3341 DEMOLISH method present.
3343 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3344 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3345 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3346 type constraint, which allows for a
3347 hand optimized version of the type
3348 constraint to be used when possible.
3349 - Any internally created type constraints
3350 now provide an optimized version as well.
3352 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3354 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3355 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3356 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3358 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3359 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3360 your class namespace of these exported
3363 * Moose::Meta::Class
3364 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3365 comes up during global destruction
3367 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3371 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3374 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3375 - changed how we do type checks so that
3376 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3379 - moved accessor generation methods to
3380 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3381 conform to the API changes from
3384 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3385 - changed how constraints are compiled
3386 so that we do less recursion and more
3387 iteration. This makes the type check
3389 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3392 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3393 - created this from methods formerly found in
3394 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3396 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3397 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3399 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3400 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3402 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3403 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3405 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3407 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3408 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3409 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3410 - added tests for this
3411 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3412 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3413 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3414 - removed tests for this
3416 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3418 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3419 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3420 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3423 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3424 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3425 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3427 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3428 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3429 comments for more info.
3432 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3433 asked questions and common problems
3435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3436 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3437 - added tests for this
3439 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3440 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3441 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3442 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3444 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3445 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3448 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3449 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3450 is much appreciated :)
3451 - added tests for this
3453 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3454 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3455 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3458 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3459 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3461 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3463 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3464 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3468 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3469 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3470 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3472 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3474 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3477 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3478 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3479 keywords because we need to localize them.
3480 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3482 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3483 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3484 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3487 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3490 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3491 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3492 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3495 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3496 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3497 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3499 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3501 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3502 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3503 bottom of your class file.
3506 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3509 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3511 - improved error message when loading modules so
3512 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3513 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3514 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3517 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3518 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3519 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3522 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3524 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3525 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3526 turn them on for you.
3527 - added tests for this
3528 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3529 in Moose::Meta::Class
3532 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3533 automatically turned on for you.
3534 - added tests for this
3537 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3538 - added tests for this
3539 - added some more edge case tests

3555 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3556 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3557 - This release works in combination with
3558 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3559 release because it uses the a new
3560 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3561 complete Role implementation. It has
3562 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3563 the the previous CPAN version. This
3564 release also lacks good updated docs,
3565 the official release will have updated docs.
3568 - refactored the keyword exports
3569 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3570 accepts more than one Role at a time
3571 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3572 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3575 - refactored the keyword exports
3576 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3577 accepts more than one Role at a time
3579 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3580 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3581 string enumerations which can be used as
3583 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3586 - more careful checking of params to new()
3589 - much work done on the role composition
3590 - many new tests for conflict detection
3591 and composition edge cases
3592 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3593 looking at the tests
3595 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3596 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3597 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3599 * Moose::Meta::Class
3600 - some small changes to support the new
3602 - some small additions to support Roles
3604 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3605 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3607 - some small changes to support the new
3609 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3610 with the 'handles' option
3611 - added several tests for this
3612 - no docs for this yet
3614 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3616 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3617 thanks to chansen for this commit
3618 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3619 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3620 on a per-attribute basis
3621 - added tests for this
3622 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3623 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3624 experimental feature and probably not finished
