1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
9 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
11 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
15 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
16 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
18 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
21 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
22 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
26 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
27 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
29 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
33 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
34 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
38 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
40 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
44 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
46 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
50 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
51 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
53 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
57 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
59 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
63 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
65 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
66 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
68 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
72 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
73 skips every other role. (rjbs)
75 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
76 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
77 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
78 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
79 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
81 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
85 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
86 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
87 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
90 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
95 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
97 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
98 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
100 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
104 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
105 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
106 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
110 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
111 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
113 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
114 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
116 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
117 environments. (doy, mateu)
119 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
123 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
124 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
125 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
126 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
130 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
131 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
133 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
137 * Update conflicts list.
140 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
144 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
145 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
146 details. (Dave Rolsky)
148 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
149 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
150 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
151 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
152 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
156 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
157 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
158 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
159 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
160 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
163 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
167 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
168 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
170 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
173 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
177 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
178 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
179 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
180 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
182 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
183 immutable classes). (mo)
185 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
186 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
187 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
189 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
193 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
195 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
197 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
201 * Fix some indexing issues.
203 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
205 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
209 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
210 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
211 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
212 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
213 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
215 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
216 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
221 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
222 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
223 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
224 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
226 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
227 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
228 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
232 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
233 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
236 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
240 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
241 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
245 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
249 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
250 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
251 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
252 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
255 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
259 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
262 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
266 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
267 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
268 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
271 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
275 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
276 policy. (Chris Prather)
278 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
279 on this new support policy. (doy)
283 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
284 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
285 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
287 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
288 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
290 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
294 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
295 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
296 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
297 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
300 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
304 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
305 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
308 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
312 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
313 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
315 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
316 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
320 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
321 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
322 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
323 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
324 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
325 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
327 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
328 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
330 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
331 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
332 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
333 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
335 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
336 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
338 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
343 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
344 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
346 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
350 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
351 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
352 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
354 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
358 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
359 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
360 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
362 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
363 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
366 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
367 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
370 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
371 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
372 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
374 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
375 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
380 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
381 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
382 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
383 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
385 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
386 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
388 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
389 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
391 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
392 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
393 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
394 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
396 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
397 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
398 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
401 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
402 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
403 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
404 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
406 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
407 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
410 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
411 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
412 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
414 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
418 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
419 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
420 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
422 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
423 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
424 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
427 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
428 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
429 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
431 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
432 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
433 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
435 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
436 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
440 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
441 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
442 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
444 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
445 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
446 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
447 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
449 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
453 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
454 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
455 value is a reference.
457 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
458 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
460 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
464 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
465 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
466 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
468 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
472 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
473 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
477 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
478 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
479 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
481 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
482 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
483 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
485 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
489 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
491 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
495 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
497 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
498 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
503 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
504 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
506 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
507 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
508 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
509 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
510 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
512 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
513 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
514 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
515 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
517 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
521 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
522 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
527 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
529 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
531 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
536 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
538 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
542 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
543 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
544 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
546 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
547 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
548 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
549 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
551 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
552 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
553 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
554 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
555 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
558 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
563 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
564 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
565 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
566 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
567 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
570 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
574 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
577 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
578 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
582 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
583 function (not just method). (doy)
587 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
588 and aren't easily installable/testable.
590 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
594 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
595 to be overridden more easily (doy).
597 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
601 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
602 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
604 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
608 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
609 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
610 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
612 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
616 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
617 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
618 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
620 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
621 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
625 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
626 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
628 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
629 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
633 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
634 is applied to a class (t0m).
636 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
637 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
639 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
642 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
643 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
645 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
646 be much more robust. (doy)
648 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
650 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
653 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
657 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
658 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
660 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
664 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
665 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
667 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
670 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
671 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
672 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
674 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
675 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
676 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
679 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
681 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
685 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
686 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
690 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
692 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
696 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
697 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
701 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
702 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
706 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
708 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
712 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
713 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
717 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
718 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
722 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
723 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
725 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
729 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
730 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
731 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
734 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
738 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
739 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
740 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
741 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
743 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
747 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
748 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
749 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
753 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
756 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
760 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
761 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
762 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
766 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
767 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
769 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
770 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
771 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
772 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
774 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
778 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
782 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
783 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
785 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
786 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
787 - Moose::Util::does_role
788 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
789 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
790 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
792 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
796 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
797 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
798 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
801 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
805 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
806 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
809 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
813 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
814 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
817 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
821 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
823 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
824 class. (Dave Rolsky).
826 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
827 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
828 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
830 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
831 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
832 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
835 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
836 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
838 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
839 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
840 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
842 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
844 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
845 substr et al, again. (sorear)
847 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
849 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
852 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
853 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
855 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
856 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
858 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
859 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
860 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
861 dependencies installed.
863 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
864 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
867 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
869 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
873 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
875 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
876 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
877 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
880 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
881 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
883 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
884 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
887 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
888 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
889 others. (nothingmuch)
891 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
892 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
893 remove_accessors. (doy)
895 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
896 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
897 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
899 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
900 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
902 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
904 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
905 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
908 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
909 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
911 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
912 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
914 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
916 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
917 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
920 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
921 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
922 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
923 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
924 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
926 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
927 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
928 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
929 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
930 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
931 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
932 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
935 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
936 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
937 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
938 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
939 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
941 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
942 which were not receiving the value of
943 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
944 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
945 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
946 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
950 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
951 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
952 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
953 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
954 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
957 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
958 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
959 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
960 - added tests for this (Stevan)
963 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
964 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
965 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
968 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
969 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
970 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
973 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
974 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
977 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
978 class if you pass it options for
979 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
980 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
981 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
982 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
983 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
984 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
985 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
986 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
987 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
989 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
990 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
991 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
992 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
993 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
996 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
997 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
998 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
999 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1002 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1003 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1004 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1005 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1006 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1009 * Moose::Error::Croak
1010 * Moose::Error::Confess
1011 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1012 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1015 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1018 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1019 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1020 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1022 * Moose::Meta::Class
1023 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1026 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1027 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1028 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1030 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1031 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1032 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1033 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1034 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1036 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1037 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1040 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1042 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1043 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1046 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1047 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1049 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1050 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1051 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1052 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1054 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1055 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1056 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1057 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1058 using it for new code!
1060 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1061 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1062 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1063 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1065 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1066 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1067 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1068 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1069 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1070 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1071 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1072 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1075 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1078 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1079 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1082 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1083 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1085 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1086 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1087 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1089 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1090 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1091 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1092 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1094 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1095 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1096 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1098 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1099 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1100 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1103 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1104 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1105 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1106 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1107 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1108 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1110 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1112 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1115 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1116 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1117 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1119 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1120 associated_methods. (hdp)
1121 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1122 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1123 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1124 misspelled) arguments
1126 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1127 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1128 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1129 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1131 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1132 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1133 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1135 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1138 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1139 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1140 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1143 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1144 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1146 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1147 * Moose::Meta::Class
1148 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1149 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1151 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1152 * Moose::Manual::Types
1153 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1154 string parsing rathole (mst)
1156 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1157 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1158 using plain objects instead
1160 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1161 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1162 that's what we need.
1164 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1165 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1166 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1167 three times today (perigrin)
1168 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1169 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1171 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1172 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1173 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1174 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1177 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1178 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1179 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1180 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1181 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1182 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1185 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1186 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1187 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1188 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1191 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1193 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1196 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1198 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1201 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1202 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1203 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1207 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1208 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1211 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1212 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1214 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1215 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1216 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1218 * Moose::Unsweetened
1219 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1221 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1222 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1225 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1229 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1230 methods during global destruction (doy)
1232 * Moose::Meta::Class
1233 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1234 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1235 consumption (Sartak)
1237 * Moose::Meta::Class
1238 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1239 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1242 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1243 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1246 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1247 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1249 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1251 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1255 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1256 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1257 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1260 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1261 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1262 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1265 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1267 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1268 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1269 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1272 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1273 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1274 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1275 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1277 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1278 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1279 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1282 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1285 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1286 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1287 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1291 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1292 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1294 * Moose::Meta::Class
1295 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1297 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1299 * Moose::Meta::Class
1300 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1301 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1304 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1305 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1308 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1309 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1312 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1315 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1318 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1321 * Moose::Meta::Class
1322 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1324 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1325 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1328 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1329 * More deprecations and renamings
1330 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1331 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1332 when an object is constructed)
1335 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1336 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1337 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1340 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1341 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1342 feature, and it works again.
1345 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1347 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1349 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1350 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1351 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1353 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1354 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1355 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1356 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1357 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1359 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1360 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1361 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1362 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1363 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1366 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1367 metaclass object. (hdp)
1369 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1370 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1371 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1372 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1373 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1374 point out this fact. (hdp)
1376 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1377 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1379 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1380 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1382 * Moose::Meta::Class
1383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1384 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1385 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1386 called during instance construction were passed the
1387 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1388 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1390 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1391 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1394 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1395 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1396 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1399 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1400 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1401 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1402 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1403 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1405 - Moose::Meta::Class
1406 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1408 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1409 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1410 when an object is constructed)
1411 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1413 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1414 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1415 when an object is constructed)
1416 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1417 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1418 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1421 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1423 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1424 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1426 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1428 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1429 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1430 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1432 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1433 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1434 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1436 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1438 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1439 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1441 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1442 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1445 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1446 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1449 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1450 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1451 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1453 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1454 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1458 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1459 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1460 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1462 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1463 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1466 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1467 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1468 with recommended workarounds.
1470 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1471 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1473 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1474 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1475 (yes, spelled like that).
1477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1478 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1480 * Moose::Meta::Class
1481 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1482 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1484 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1486 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1487 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1488 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1489 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1490 instead. Reported by doy.
1492 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1494 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1495 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1497 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1498 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1499 message) is now deprecated.
1500 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1501 often got it wrong. For example:
1503 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1505 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1509 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1510 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1511 bite you in weird cases.
1513 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1514 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1515 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1516 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1518 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1519 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1523 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1526 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1527 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1530 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1531 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1533 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1534 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1537 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1538 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1539 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1540 - added tests for this (stevan)
1542 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1543 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1544 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1545 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1549 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1550 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1551 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1552 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1554 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1555 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1556 - added tests for this (rafl)
1558 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1559 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1560 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1561 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1565 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1566 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1569 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1570 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1571 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1573 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1575 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1576 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1578 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1579 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1580 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1581 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1582 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1584 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1585 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1586 error message did not specify the attribute name
1589 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1591 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1593 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1594 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1595 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1598 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1601 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1603 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1604 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1605 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1606 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1608 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1610 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1611 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1612 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1613 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1615 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1616 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1617 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1619 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1620 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1621 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1622 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1623 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1625 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1626 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1627 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1628 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1629 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1631 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1632 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1633 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1634 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1635 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1636 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1638 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1639 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1640 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1641 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1642 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1643 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1645 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1646 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1648 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1649 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1650 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1651 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1653 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1654 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1657 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1661 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1662 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1664 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1665 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1666 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1667 guts. (nothingmuch).
1669 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1670 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1671 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1673 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1674 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1675 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1676 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1678 * Moose::Meta::Class
1679 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1682 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1683 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1685 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1686 * Moose::Unsweetened
1687 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1690 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1691 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1692 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1693 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1694 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1695 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1697 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1698 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1699 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1700 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1701 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1702 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1703 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1704 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1705 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1706 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1708 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1710 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1711 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1713 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1714 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1715 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1716 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1718 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1719 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1720 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1721 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1722 same methods for a single role did not work
1723 right (worked just fine with multiple
1725 - added test for this (stevan)
1727 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1728 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1729 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1732 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1733 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1734 - added test for this (t0m)
1737 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1738 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1739 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1741 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1742 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1743 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1744 - added test for this (t0m)
1746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1747 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1748 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1749 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1750 - added test for this (perigrin)
1753 - create method for constructing a role
1754 dynamically (Sartak)
1755 - added test for this (Sartak)
1756 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1757 - added test for this (Sartak)
1760 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1762 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1763 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1764 methods is useful (Sartak)
1766 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1767 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1768 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1771 * Moose::Meta::Class
1772 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1773 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1774 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1775 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1776 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1777 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1780 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1781 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1783 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1784 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1785 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1786 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1787 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1789 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1791 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1792 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1793 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1796 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1797 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1798 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1799 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1800 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1801 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1804 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1805 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1806 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1807 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1808 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1809 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1810 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1811 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1812 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1813 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1814 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1816 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1817 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1820 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1821 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1822 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1823 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1824 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1826 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1828 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1829 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1830 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1832 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1833 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1835 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1836 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1837 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1838 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1841 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1842 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1844 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1846 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1847 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1849 * Moose::Meta::Class
1850 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1851 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1852 a required attribute
1854 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1855 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1856 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1857 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1859 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1860 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1862 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1863 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1864 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1865 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1866 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1867 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1868 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1869 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1871 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1872 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1873 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1875 * Roles and role application
1876 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1877 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1878 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1879 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1880 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1882 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1883 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1886 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1887 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1888 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1889 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1890 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1893 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1894 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1895 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1896 changes in the Moose internals.
1898 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1899 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1900 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1903 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1904 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1905 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1906 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1908 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1909 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1910 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1911 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1913 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1914 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1915 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1916 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1917 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1918 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1919 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1920 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1921 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1922 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1923 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1924 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1925 constraint implementations.
1927 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1931 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1932 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1933 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1934 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1935 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1936 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1937 - added tests for this (rafl)
1939 * Moose::Meta::Class
1940 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1941 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1942 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1943 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1944 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1945 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1946 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1947 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1950 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1951 - added tests for this (thepler)
1953 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1954 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1955 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1956 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1959 * Moose::Meta::Class
1960 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1961 * Moose::Meta::Method
1964 * Moose::Error::Default
1965 * Moose::Error::Croak
1966 * Moose::Error::Confess
1967 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1968 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1969 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1970 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1971 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1972 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1974 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1976 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1977 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1979 * Moose::Unsweetened
1980 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1981 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1982 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1984 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1985 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1986 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1987 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1988 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1991 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1992 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1994 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1995 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1996 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1997 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2000 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2002 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2003 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2005 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2008 - Various bug fixes.
2010 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2011 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2013 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2015 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2016 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2017 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2018 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2019 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2020 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2022 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2023 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2024 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2026 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2027 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2028 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2031 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2032 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2033 dependency to 0.64_07.
2035 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2036 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2037 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2039 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2040 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2043 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2044 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2045 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2046 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2047 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2048 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2050 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2051 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2053 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2055 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2056 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2060 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2061 method when that method was provided by another role being
2062 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)

2072 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2073 - added test for this (t0m)
2075 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2076 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2077 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2079 - added test for this (t0m)
2082 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"

2088 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2090 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2116 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2117 Rolsky and nothingmuch)

2171 ... this is not my day today ...
2173 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2174 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2175 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2176 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2177 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2180 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2181 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2182 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2183 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2184 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2187 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2189 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2190 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2222 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2223 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2224 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2225 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2226 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2227 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2228 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2229 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2230 - added tests for this
2232 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2233 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2234 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2343 XS based functionality is now optional
2344 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2345 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2346 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2754 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2755 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2756 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2757 Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2760 - type constraint handling
2761 - error handling/messages
2762 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2764 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2765 - added this module to support the refactor
2766 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2768 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2769 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2770 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2774 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2776 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2777 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2778 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2780 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2781 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)

2793 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2794 - added tests for this
2796 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2798 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2799 types without having to explictly define them
2800 - added tests for this
2802 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2803 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2804 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2806 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2807 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2808 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2809 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2810 - added tests for this
2811 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2812 a single type at different times instead of
2813 having to do it all in one place
2814 - added tests for this
2816 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2817 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2818 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2821 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2822 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2823 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2824 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2828 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2829 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2830 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2832 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2833 - added tests for this.
2834 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2835 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2836 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2837 - added tests for this
2838 - added docs for this
2840 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2841 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2842 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2843 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2844 instead it will just return undef.
2845 - added docs for this
2847 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2859 with work correctly.
2860 - added tests for this
2863 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2864 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2867 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2868 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2869 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)

2903 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2906 - fixed how required methods are handled
2907 when they encounter overriden or modified
2908 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2909 - added tests for this
2911 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2912 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2913 the | always creates a union and so is
2914 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2915 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2917 - added more tests for this
2919 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2922 * Parameterized Types
2923 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2924 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2925 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2926 They can also be nested:
2927 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2928 And work with the type unions as well:
2929 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2931 * Better Framework Extendability
2932 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2933 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2934 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2935 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2938 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2939 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2940 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2941 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2944 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2946 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2947 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2950 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2978 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2980 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2981 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2982 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2983 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2985 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2986 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2987 - updated the accompanying test as well
2989 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2990 +++ with new features added as well +++
2992 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2993 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2994 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of

2996 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2998 - added tests for this
3000 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

3006 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3007 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3009 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3010 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3011 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
3012 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3026 (thanks to shlomif).
3028 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3029 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3030 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3031 - added tests for this

3034 - added tests for this
3036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3037 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3038 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3079 (but not changing the handles option)
3080 - added tests and docs for this
3083 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3084 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3085 - adjusted tests for this
3087 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3088 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3089 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3095 the other side (perigrin)
3097 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3098 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3099 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3100 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3101 prototypes for functions
3102 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3103 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3113 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3116 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3117 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3118 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3119 - added tests for this
3121 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3123 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3139 * Moose::Meta::Class
3140 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3141 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3142 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3144 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3145 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3147 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3148 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3149 so this release is just to fix that.
3152 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3153 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3154 (thanks to konobi for this)
3155 - added tests and docs
3157 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3158 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3160 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3161 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3162 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3163 - added tests for this
3164 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3165 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3166 functions to facilitate introspection.
3168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3169 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3170 to build the list of delegated methods
3171 correctly (and not override important
3172 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3174 - added tests and docs for this
3175 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3176 so that you can actually document your
3177 attributes and inspect them through the
3179 - added tests and docs for this
3181 * Moose::Meta::Class
3182 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3183 it will first look in for the class in the
3184 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3185 then default to just loading $name.
3186 - added tests and docs for this
3188 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3189 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3190 - added test for this
3193 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3194 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3195 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3196 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3198 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3199 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3202 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3204 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3205 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3206 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3209 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3210 !! for this developer release to work !!
3212 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3213 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3214 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3215 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3216 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3217 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3218 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3219 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3220 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3221 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3222 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3224 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3225 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3226 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3227 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3230 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3231 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3232 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3233 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3234 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3236 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3238 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3239 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3242 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3243 called unless they actually need to be.
3244 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3245 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3246 DEMOLISH method present.
3248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3249 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3250 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3251 type constraint, which allows for a
3252 hand optimized version of the type
3253 constraint to be used when possible.
3254 - Any internally created type constraints
3255 now provide an optimized version as well.
3257 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3259 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3260 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3261 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3264 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3265 your class namespace of these exported
3268 * Moose::Meta::Class
3269 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3270 comes up during global destruction
3272 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3276 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3279 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3280 - changed how we do type checks so that
3281 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3284 - moved accessor generation methods to
3285 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3286 conform to the API changes from
3289 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3290 - changed how constraints are compiled
3291 so that we do less recursion and more
3292 iteration. This makes the type check
3294 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3297 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3298 - created this from methods formerly found in
3299 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3301 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3302 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3304 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3305 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3307 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3308 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3310 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3312 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3313 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3314 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3315 - added tests for this
3316 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3317 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3318 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3319 - removed tests for this
3321 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3323 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3324 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3325 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3328 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3329 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3330 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3332 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3333 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3334 comments for more info.
3337 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3338 asked questions and common problems
3340 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3341 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3342 - added tests for this
3344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3345 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3346 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3347 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3349 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3350 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3353 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3354 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3355 is much appreciated :)
3356 - added tests for this
3358 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3359 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3360 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3363 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3364 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3366 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3368 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3369 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3373 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3374 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3375 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3377 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3379 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3382 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3383 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3384 keywords because we need to localize them.
3385 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3387 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3388 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3389 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3392 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3395 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3396 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3397 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3400 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3401 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3402 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3404 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3406 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3407 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3408 bottom of your class file.
3411 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3414 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3416 - improved error message when loading modules so
3417 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3418 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3419 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3422 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3423 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3424 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3426 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3427 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3429 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3430 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3431 turn them on for you.
3432 - added tests for this
3433 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3434 in Moose::Meta::Class
3437 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3438 automatically turned on for you.
3439 - added tests for this
3442 - now handles an edge case for override errors

3461 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3462 - This release works in combination with
3463 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3464 release because it uses the a new
3465 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3466 complete Role implementation. It has
3467 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3468 the the previous CPAN version. This
3469 release also lacks good updated docs,
3470 the official release will have updated docs.
3473 - refactored the keyword exports
3474 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3475 accepts more than one Role at a time
3476 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3477 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3480 - refactored the keyword exports
3481 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3482 accepts more than one Role at a time
3484 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3485 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3486 string enumerations which can be used as
3488 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3491 - more careful checking of params to new()
3494 - much work done on the role composition
3495 - many new tests for conflict detection
3496 and composition edge cases
3497 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3498 looking at the tests
3500 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3501 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3502 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3504 * Moose::Meta::Class
3505 - some small changes to support the new
3507 - some small additions to support Roles
3509 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3510 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3512 - some small changes to support the new
3514 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3515 with the 'handles' option
3516 - added several tests for this
3517 - no docs for this yet

3521 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3522 thanks to chansen for this commit
3523 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3524 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3525 on a per-attribute basis
3526 - added tests for this
3527 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3528 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3529 experimental feature and probably not finished
