1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
6 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
9 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
10 class if you pass it options for
11 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
12 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
13 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
15 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
16 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
17 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
18 existing delegation API. (hdp)
20 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
21 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
22 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
23 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
24 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
25 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
29 * Moose::Error::Confess
30 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
31 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
34 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
37 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
38 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
39 installing a broken sub. (doy)
42 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
43 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
45 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
46 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
47 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
48 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
49 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
51 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
52 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
55 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
57 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
58 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
61 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
62 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
64 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
65 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
66 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
67 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
69 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
70 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
71 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
72 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
73 using it for new code!
75 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
76 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
77 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
78 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
81 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
82 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
83 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
84 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
85 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
86 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
87 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
90 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
93 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
94 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
97 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
98 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
100 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
101 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
102 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
105 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
106 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
107 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
110 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
111 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
113 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
114 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
115 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
118 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
119 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
120 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
121 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
122 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
123 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
125 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
127 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
131 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
132 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
134 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
135 associated_methods. (hdp)
136 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
137 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
138 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
139 misspelled) arguments
141 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
142 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
143 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
144 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
146 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
147 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
148 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
150 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
153 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
154 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
155 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
158 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
159 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
161 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
163 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
164 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
166 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
167 * Moose::Manual::Types
168 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
169 string parsing rathole (mst)
171 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
172 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
173 using plain objects instead
175 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
176 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
179 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
181 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
182 three times today (perigrin)
183 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
184 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
186 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
187 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
188 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
189 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
192 - A role's required methods are now represented by
193 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
194 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
195 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
196 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
197 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
200 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
201 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
202 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
203 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
206 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
208 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
211 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
213 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
216 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
217 during global destruction. This method has been made more
218 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
222 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
223 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
226 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
227 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
229 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
230 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
231 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
234 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
236 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
237 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
240 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
244 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
245 methods during global destruction (doy)
248 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
249 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
253 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
254 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
257 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
258 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
261 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
262 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
264 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
266 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
270 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
271 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
272 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
275 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
276 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
277 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
280 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
282 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
283 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
284 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
287 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
288 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
289 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
290 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
292 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
293 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
294 of the Moose core (Sartak)
297 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
300 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
301 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
302 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
306 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
307 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
310 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
312 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
315 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
316 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
319 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
320 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
323 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
324 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
327 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
330 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
332 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
333 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
337 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
339 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
340 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
343 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
344 * More deprecations and renamings
345 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
346 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
347 when an object is constructed)
350 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
351 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
352 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
354 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
355 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
356 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
357 feature, and it works again.
360 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
362 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
364 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
365 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
366 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
368 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
369 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
370 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
371 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
372 message. Test provided by perigrin.
374 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
375 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
376 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
377 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
378 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
381 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
382 metaclass object. (hdp)
384 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
385 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
386 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
387 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
388 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
389 point out this fact. (hdp)
391 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
392 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
394 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
395 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
398 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
399 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
400 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
401 called during instance construction were passed the
402 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
403 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
405 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
406 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
409 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
410 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
411 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
414 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
415 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
416 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
417 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
418 them, but they are not for "public" use.
421 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
423 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
424 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
425 when an object is constructed)
426 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
428 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
429 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
430 when an object is constructed)
431 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
432 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
433 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
436 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
438 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
439 * No changes from 0.72_01.
441 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
443 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
444 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
445 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
447 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
448 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
449 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
451 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
453 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
454 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
456 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
457 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
460 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
461 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
464 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
465 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
466 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
469 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
473 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
474 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
475 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
478 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
481 * Moose::Manual::Delta
482 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
483 with recommended workarounds.
485 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
486 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
488 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
489 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
490 (yes, spelled like that).
492 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
493 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
496 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
497 changes in latest Class::MOP.
499 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
501 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
502 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
503 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
504 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
505 instead. Reported by doy.
507 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
509 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
510 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
512 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
513 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
514 message) is now deprecated.
515 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
516 often got it wrong. For example:
518 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
520 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
524 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
525 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
526 bite you in weird cases.
528 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
529 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
530 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
533 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
534 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
538 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
541 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
542 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
545 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
546 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
548 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
549 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
552 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
553 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
554 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
555 - added tests for this (stevan)
557 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
558 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
559 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
560 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
564 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
565 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
566 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
567 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
569 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
570 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
571 - added tests for this (rafl)
573 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
574 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
575 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
576 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
580 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
581 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
584 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
585 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
586 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
588 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
590 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
591 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
594 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
595 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
596 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
597 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
599 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
600 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
601 error message did not specify the attribute name
604 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
606 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
608 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
609 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
610 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
612 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
613 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
616 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
618 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
619 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
620 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
621 of fixes and formatting improvements.
623 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
625 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
626 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
627 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
628 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
631 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
632 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
634 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
635 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
636 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
637 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
638 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
640 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
641 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
642 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
643 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
644 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
646 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
647 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
648 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
649 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
650 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
651 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
653 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
654 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
655 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
656 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
657 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
658 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
660 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
661 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
663 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
664 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
665 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
666 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
668 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
669 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
672 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
676 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
677 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
679 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
680 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
681 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
684 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
685 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
686 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
688 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
689 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
690 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
691 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
694 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
697 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
698 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
700 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
702 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
705 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
706 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
707 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
708 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
709 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
710 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
712 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
713 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
714 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
715 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
716 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
717 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
718 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
719 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
720 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
721 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
723 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
725 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
726 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
728 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
729 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
730 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
731 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
733 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
734 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
735 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
736 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
737 same methods for a single role did not work
738 right (worked just fine with multiple
740 - added test for this (stevan)
742 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
743 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
744 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
747 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
748 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
749 - added test for this (t0m)
752 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
753 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
754 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
756 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
757 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
758 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
759 - added test for this (t0m)
761 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
762 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
763 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
764 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
765 - added test for this (perigrin)
768 - create method for constructing a role
770 - added test for this (Sartak)
771 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
772 - added test for this (Sartak)
775 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
777 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
778 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
779 methods is useful (Sartak)
781 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
782 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
783 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
787 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
788 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
789 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
790 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
791 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
792 - added tests for this (jdv79)
795 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
796 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
798 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
799 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
800 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
801 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
802 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
804 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
806 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
807 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
808 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
811 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
812 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
813 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
814 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
815 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
816 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
820 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
821 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
822 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
823 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
824 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
825 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
826 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
827 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
828 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
829 future. (jnapiorkowski)
831 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
832 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
835 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
836 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
837 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
838 type. (jnapiorkowski)
839 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
841 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
843 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
844 predicate, and link to more details sections in
845 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
847 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
848 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
850 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
851 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
852 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
853 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
856 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
857 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
859 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
861 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
862 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
865 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
866 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
869 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
870 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
871 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
872 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
874 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
875 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
877 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
878 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
879 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
880 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
881 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
882 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
883 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
884 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
886 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
887 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
888 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
890 * Roles and role application
891 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
892 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
893 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
894 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
895 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
897 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
898 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
901 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
902 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
903 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
904 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
905 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
908 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
909 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
910 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
911 changes in the Moose internals.
913 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
914 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
915 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
918 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
919 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
920 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
921 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
923 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
924 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
925 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
926 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
928 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
929 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
930 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
931 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
932 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
933 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
934 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
935 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
936 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
937 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
938 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
939 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
940 constraint implementations.
942 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
946 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
947 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
948 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
949 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
950 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
951 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
952 - added tests for this (rafl)
955 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
956 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
957 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
958 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
959 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
960 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
961 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
962 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
965 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
966 - added tests for this (thepler)
968 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
969 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
970 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
971 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
975 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
976 * Moose::Meta::Method
979 * Moose::Error::Default
980 * Moose::Error::Croak
981 * Moose::Error::Confess
982 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
983 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
984 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
985 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
986 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
987 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
989 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
991 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
992 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
995 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
996 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
997 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1000 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1001 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1002 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1003 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1006 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1007 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1009 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1010 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1011 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1012 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1015 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1017 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1018 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1020 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1023 - Various bug fixes.
1025 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1026 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1028 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1030 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1031 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1032 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1033 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1034 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1035 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1037 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1038 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1039 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1041 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1042 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1043 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1046 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1047 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1048 dependency to 0.64_07.
1050 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1051 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1052 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1054 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1055 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1058 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1059 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1060 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1061 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1062 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1063 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1065 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1066 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1068 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1070 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1071 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1075 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1076 method when that method was provided by another role being
1077 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1078 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1080 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1082 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1083 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1085 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1086 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1087 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1088 - added test for this (t0m)
1090 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1091 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1092 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1094 - added test for this (t0m)
1097 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1098 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1099 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1102 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1103 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1105 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1107 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1108 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1110 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1111 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1112 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1114 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1115 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1118 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1119 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1120 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1121 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1125 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1126 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1127 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1130 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1131 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1132 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1133 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1136 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1140 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1141 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1142 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1144 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1145 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1146 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1147 created so that the process can be more easily
1148 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1150 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1151 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1152 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1153 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1155 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1156 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1159 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1160 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1162 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1163 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1164 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1166 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1167 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1168 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1170 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1171 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1173 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1174 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1177 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1178 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1182 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1183 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1185 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1186 ... this is not my day today ...
1188 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1189 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1190 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1191 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1192 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1195 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1196 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1197 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1198 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1199 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1202 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1204 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1205 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1206 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1207 this is not ever something you want to do
1208 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1209 - added tests for this (stevan)
1212 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1214 - added test for this
1216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1217 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1218 - added tests for this (wreis)
1220 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1221 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1222 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1223 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1225 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1226 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1227 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1230 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1232 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1234 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1237 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1238 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1239 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1240 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1241 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1242 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1243 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1244 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1245 - added tests for this
1247 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1248 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1249 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1250 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1252 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1254 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1255 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1256 - added tests for this (sartak)
1257 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1258 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1261 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1263 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1264 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1266 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1267 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1268 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1269 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1271 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1273 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1274 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1277 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1278 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1279 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1282 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1283 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1285 - added docs for this (TODO).
1286 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1287 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1288 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1289 - fix builder and default both being used
1294 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1296 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1297 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1298 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1302 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1306 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1307 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1308 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1310 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1311 - move the ClassName type check code to
1312 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1314 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1315 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1317 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1318 (early morning release engineering)--
1320 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1321 which was causing the indexer to choke
1323 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1324 (late night release engineering)--
1326 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1327 changes in this release
1329 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1330 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1331 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1333 * Moose::Meta::Class
1334 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1335 since it is called so often by &meta
1337 * Moose::Meta::Class
1339 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1340 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1343 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1344 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1345 method for immutablization to check if the
1346 destructor object even needs to be created
1349 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1350 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1351 - added more descriptive error message to help
1352 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1353 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1355 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1357 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1358 XS based functionality is now optional
1359 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1360 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1361 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1363 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1364 to take care of this, mostly we added
1365 support for the package_name and name
1366 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1367 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1368 support regexp matching of names
1369 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1370 - tests added for this
1371 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1372 is currently not supported in roles,
1373 but, ... patches welcome
1374 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1375 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1376 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1379 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1380 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1381 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1382 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1383 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1384 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1385 - added test for this
1387 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1464 drink more coffee before
1465 doing release engineering
1467 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1582 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1584 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1585 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1628 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1629 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1922 when they encounter overriden or modified
1923 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1924 - added tests for this
1926 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1927 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1928 the | always creates a union and so is
1929 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1930 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1932 - added more tests for this
1934 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1937 * Parameterized Types
1938 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1939 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1940 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1941 They can also be nested:
1942 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1943 And work with the type unions as well:
1944 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1946 * Better Framework Extendability
1947 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1948 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1949 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1950 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1953 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1954 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1955 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1956 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2085 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2086 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2088 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2089 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2090 to the 'handles' option.
2091 - added tests and docs for this
2092 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
2093 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
2094 (but not changing the handles option)
2095 - added tests and docs for this
2098 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2099 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2100 - adjusted tests for this
2102 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2103 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2104 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2107 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
2108 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2109 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2110 the other side (perigrin)
2112 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2113 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2114 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2115 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2116 prototypes for functions
2117 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2118 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2119 - added tests and docs for this
2120 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2121 default for where be { 1 }

2126 merlyn for finding this bug
2127 - tests added for this
2128 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2131 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2132 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2133 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2134 - added tests for this
2136 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2138 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2154 * Moose::Meta::Class
2155 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2156 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for

2160 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2162 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2163 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2164 so this release is just to fix that.
2167 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2168 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2169 (thanks to konobi for this)
2170 - added tests and docs
2172 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2180 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2181 functions to facilitate introspection.
2183 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2184 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2185 to build the list of delegated methods
2186 correctly (and not override important
2187 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2189 - added tests and docs for this
2190 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2191 so that you can actually document your
2192 attributes and inspect them through the
2194 - added tests and docs for this
2196 * Moose::Meta::Class
2197 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2198 it will first look in for the class in the
2199 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2200 then default to just loading $name.
2201 - added tests and docs for this
2203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2204 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2205 - added test for this
2208 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2209 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2210 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2211 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2213 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2214 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2217 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2219 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2220 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2221 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2224 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2225 !! for this developer release to work !!
2227 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2228 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2229 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2230 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2231 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2232 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2233 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2234 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2235 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2236 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2237 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2239 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2240 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2241 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2242 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2245 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2246 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2247 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2248 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2249 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2251 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2253 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2254 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2257 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2258 called unless they actually need to be.
2259 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2260 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2261 DEMOLISH method present.
2263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2264 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2265 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2266 type constraint, which allows for a
2267 hand optimized version of the type
2268 constraint to be used when possible.
2269 - Any internally created type constraints
2270 now provide an optimized version as well.
2272 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2274 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2275 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2276 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2278 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2279 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2280 your class namespace of these exported
2283 * Moose::Meta::Class
2284 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2285 comes up during global destruction
2287 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2291 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2294 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2295 - changed how we do type checks so that
2296 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2299 - moved accessor generation methods to
2300 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2301 conform to the API changes from
2304 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2305 - changed how constraints are compiled
2306 so that we do less recursion and more
2307 iteration. This makes the type check
2309 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2312 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2313 - created this from methods formerly found in
2314 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2316 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2317 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2319 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2320 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2322 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2323 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2325 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2327 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2328 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2329 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2330 - added tests for this
2331 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2332 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2333 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2334 - removed tests for this
2336 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2338 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2339 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2340 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2343 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2344 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2345 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2347 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2348 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2349 comments for more info.
2352 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2353 asked questions and common problems
2355 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2356 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2357 - added tests for this
2359 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2360 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2361 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2362 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2364 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2365 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2368 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2369 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2370 is much appreciated :)
2371 - added tests for this
2373 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2374 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2375 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2378 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2379 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2381 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2383 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2384 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2388 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2389 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2390 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2392 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2394 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2397 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2398 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2399 keywords because we need to localize them.
2400 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2402 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2403 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2404 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2407 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2410 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2411 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2412 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2415 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2416 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2417 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2419 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2421 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2422 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2423 bottom of your class file.
2426 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2429 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2431 - improved error message when loading modules so
2432 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2433 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2434 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2437 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2438 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2439 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2441 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2442 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2444 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2445 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2446 turn them on for you.
2447 - added tests for this
2448 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2449 in Moose::Meta::Class

2476 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2477 - This release works in combination with
2478 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2479 release because it uses the a new
2480 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2481 complete Role implementation. It has
2482 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2483 the the previous CPAN version. This
2484 release also lacks good updated docs,
2485 the official release will have updated docs.
2488 - refactored the keyword exports
2489 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2490 accepts more than one Role at a time

2496 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2497 accepts more than one Role at a time
2499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2501 string enumerations which can be used as
2503 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2506 - more careful checking of params to new()
2509 - much work done on the role composition
2510 - many new tests for conflict detection
2511 and composition edge cases
2512 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2513 looking at the tests
2515 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2516 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2517 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2538 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2539 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2540 on a per-attribute basis
2541 - added tests for this
2542 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2543 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2544 experimental feature and probably not finished
