1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
9 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster.
14 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
16 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
20 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
21 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
23 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
27 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
29 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
33 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
35 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
36 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
38 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
42 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
43 skips every other role. (rjbs)
45 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
46 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
47 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
48 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
49 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
51 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
55 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
56 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
57 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
60 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
63 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
64 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
65 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
69 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
71 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
72 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
74 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
78 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
79 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
80 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
82 * Type constraints can now inline their constraint checks. This replaces the
83 existing hand-optimized constraint feature.
87 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
88 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
93 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
94 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
96 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
97 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
99 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
100 environments. (doy, mateu)
102 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
106 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
107 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
108 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
109 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
113 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
114 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
116 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
120 * Update conflicts list.
123 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
127 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
128 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
129 details. (Dave Rolsky)
131 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
132 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
133 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
134 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
135 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
139 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
140 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
141 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
142 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
143 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
146 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
150 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
151 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
153 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
156 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
160 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
161 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
162 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
163 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
165 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
166 immutable classes). (mo)
168 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
169 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
170 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
172 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
176 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
178 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
180 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
184 * Fix some indexing issues.
186 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
188 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
192 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
193 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
194 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
195 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
196 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
198 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
199 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
204 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
205 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
206 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
207 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
209 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
210 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
211 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
215 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
216 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
219 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
223 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
224 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
228 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
232 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
233 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
234 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
235 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
238 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
242 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
245 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
249 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
250 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
251 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
254 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
258 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
259 policy. (Chris Prather)
261 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
262 on this new support policy. (doy)
266 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
267 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
268 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
270 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
271 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
273 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
277 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
278 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
279 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
280 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
283 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
287 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
288 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
291 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
295 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
296 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
298 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
299 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
303 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
304 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
305 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
306 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
307 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
308 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
310 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
311 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
313 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
314 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
315 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
316 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
318 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
319 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
321 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
326 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
327 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
329 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
333 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
334 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
335 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
337 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
341 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
342 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
343 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
345 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
346 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
349 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
350 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
353 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
354 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
355 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
357 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
358 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
363 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
364 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
365 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
366 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
368 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
369 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
371 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
372 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
374 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
375 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
376 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
377 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
379 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
380 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
381 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
384 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
385 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
386 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
387 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
389 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
390 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
393 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
394 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
395 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
397 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
401 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
402 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
403 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
405 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
406 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
407 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
410 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
411 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
412 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
414 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
415 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
416 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
418 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
419 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
423 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
424 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
425 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
427 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
428 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
429 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
430 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
432 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
436 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
437 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
438 value is a reference.
440 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
441 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
443 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
447 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
448 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
449 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
451 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
455 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
456 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
460 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
461 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
462 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
464 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
465 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
466 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
468 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
472 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
474 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
478 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
480 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
481 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
486 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
487 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
489 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
490 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
491 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
492 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
493 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
495 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
496 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
497 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
498 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
500 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
504 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
505 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
510 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
512 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
514 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
519 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
521 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
525 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
526 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
527 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
529 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
530 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
531 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
532 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
534 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
535 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
536 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
537 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
538 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
541 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
546 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
547 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
548 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
549 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
550 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
553 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
557 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
560 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
561 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
565 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
566 function (not just method). (doy)
570 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
571 and aren't easily installable/testable.
573 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
577 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
578 to be overridden more easily (doy).
580 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
584 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
585 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
587 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
591 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
592 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
593 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
595 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
599 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
600 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
601 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
603 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
604 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
608 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
609 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
611 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
612 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
616 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
617 is applied to a class (t0m).
619 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
620 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
622 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
625 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
626 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
628 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
629 be much more robust. (doy)
631 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
633 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
636 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
640 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
641 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
643 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
647 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
648 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
650 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
653 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
654 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
655 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
657 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
658 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
659 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
662 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
664 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
668 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
669 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
673 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
675 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
679 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
680 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
684 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
685 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
689 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
691 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
695 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
696 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
700 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
701 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
705 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
706 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
708 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
712 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
713 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
714 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
717 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
721 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
722 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
723 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
724 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
726 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
730 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
731 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
732 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
736 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
739 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
743 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
744 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
745 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
749 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
750 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
752 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
753 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
754 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
755 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
757 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
761 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
765 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
766 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
768 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
769 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
770 - Moose::Util::does_role
771 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
772 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
773 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
775 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
779 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
780 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
781 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
784 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
788 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
789 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
792 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
796 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
797 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
800 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
804 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
806 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
807 class. (Dave Rolsky).
809 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
810 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
811 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
813 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
814 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
815 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
818 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
819 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
821 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
822 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
823 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
825 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
827 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
828 substr et al, again. (sorear)
830 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
832 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
835 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
836 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
838 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
839 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
841 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
842 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
843 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
844 dependencies installed.
846 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
847 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
850 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
852 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
856 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
858 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
859 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
860 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
862 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
863 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
864 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
866 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
867 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
870 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
871 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
872 others. (nothingmuch)
874 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
875 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
876 remove_accessors. (doy)
878 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
879 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
880 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
882 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
883 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
885 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
886 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
887 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
888 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
891 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
892 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
894 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
895 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
897 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
899 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
900 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
903 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
904 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
905 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
906 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
907 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
909 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
910 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
911 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
912 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
913 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
914 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
915 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
918 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
919 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
920 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
921 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
922 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
924 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
925 which were not receiving the value of
926 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
927 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
928 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
929 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
933 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
934 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
935 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
936 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
937 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
940 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
941 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
942 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
943 - added tests for this (Stevan)
946 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
947 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
948 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
951 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
952 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
953 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
955 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
956 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
957 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
960 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
961 class if you pass it options for
962 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
963 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
964 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
965 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
966 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
967 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
968 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
969 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
970 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
972 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
973 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
974 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
975 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
976 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
979 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
980 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
981 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
982 existing delegation API. (hdp)
984 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
985 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
986 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
987 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
988 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
989 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
992 * Moose::Error::Croak
993 * Moose::Error::Confess
994 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
995 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
998 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1001 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1002 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1003 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1005 * Moose::Meta::Class
1006 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1009 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1010 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1011 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1013 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1014 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1015 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1016 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1017 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1019 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1020 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1023 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1025 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1026 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1029 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1030 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1032 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1033 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1034 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1035 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1037 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1038 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1039 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1040 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1041 using it for new code!
1043 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1044 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1045 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1046 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1048 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1049 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1050 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1051 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1052 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1053 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1054 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1055 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1058 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1061 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1062 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1065 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1066 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1068 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1069 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1070 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1072 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1073 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1074 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1075 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1077 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1078 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1079 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1081 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1082 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1083 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1086 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1087 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1088 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1089 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1090 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1091 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1093 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1095 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1098 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1099 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1100 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1102 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1103 associated_methods. (hdp)
1104 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1105 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1106 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1107 misspelled) arguments
1109 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1110 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1111 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1112 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1114 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1115 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1116 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1118 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1122 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1123 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1126 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1127 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1129 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1130 * Moose::Meta::Class
1131 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1132 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1134 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1135 * Moose::Manual::Types
1136 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1137 string parsing rathole (mst)
1139 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1140 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1141 using plain objects instead
1143 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1144 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1145 that's what we need.
1147 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1148 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1149 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1150 three times today (perigrin)
1151 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1152 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1154 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1155 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1156 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1157 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1160 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1161 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1162 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1163 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1164 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1165 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1168 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1169 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1170 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1171 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1174 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1176 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1179 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1181 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1184 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1185 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1186 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1190 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1191 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1194 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1195 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1197 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1198 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1199 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1201 * Moose::Unsweetened
1202 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1204 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1205 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1208 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1212 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1213 methods during global destruction (doy)
1215 * Moose::Meta::Class
1216 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1217 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1218 consumption (Sartak)
1220 * Moose::Meta::Class
1221 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1222 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1225 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1226 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1229 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1230 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1232 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1234 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1238 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1239 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1240 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1243 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1244 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1245 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1248 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1250 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1251 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1252 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1256 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1257 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1258 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1260 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1261 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1262 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1265 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1268 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1269 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1270 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1274 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1275 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1277 * Moose::Meta::Class
1278 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1280 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1282 * Moose::Meta::Class
1283 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1284 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1287 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1288 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1291 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1292 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1295 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1298 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1300 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1301 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1304 * Moose::Meta::Class
1305 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1307 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1308 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1311 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1312 * More deprecations and renamings
1313 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1314 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1315 when an object is constructed)
1318 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1319 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1320 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1323 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1324 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1325 feature, and it works again.
1328 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1330 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1332 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1333 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1334 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1336 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1337 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1338 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1339 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1340 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1342 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1343 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1344 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1345 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1346 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1349 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1350 metaclass object. (hdp)
1352 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1353 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1354 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1355 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1356 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1357 point out this fact. (hdp)
1359 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1360 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1362 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1363 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1365 * Moose::Meta::Class
1366 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1367 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1368 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1369 called during instance construction were passed the
1370 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1371 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1373 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1374 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1377 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1378 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1379 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1382 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1383 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1384 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1385 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1386 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1388 - Moose::Meta::Class
1389 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1391 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1392 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1393 when an object is constructed)
1394 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1396 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1397 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1398 when an object is constructed)
1399 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1400 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1401 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1404 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1406 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1407 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1409 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1411 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1412 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1413 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1415 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1416 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1417 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1419 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1421 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1422 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1424 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1425 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1428 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1429 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1432 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1433 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1434 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1436 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1437 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1441 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1442 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1443 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1445 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1446 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1449 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1450 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1451 with recommended workarounds.
1453 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1454 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1456 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1457 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1458 (yes, spelled like that).
1460 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1461 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1463 * Moose::Meta::Class
1464 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1465 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1467 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1469 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1470 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1471 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1472 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1473 instead. Reported by doy.
1475 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1477 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1478 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1480 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1481 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1482 message) is now deprecated.
1483 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1484 often got it wrong. For example:
1486 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1488 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1492 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1493 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1494 bite you in weird cases.
1496 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1497 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1498 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1499 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1501 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1502 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1506 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1509 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1510 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1513 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1514 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1516 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1517 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1520 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1521 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1522 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1523 - added tests for this (stevan)
1525 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1526 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1527 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1528 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1532 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1533 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1534 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1535 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1537 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1538 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1539 - added tests for this (rafl)
1541 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1542 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1543 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1544 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1548 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1549 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1552 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1553 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1554 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1556 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1558 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1559 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1561 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1562 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1563 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1564 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1565 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1567 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1568 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1569 error message did not specify the attribute name
1572 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1574 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1576 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1577 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1578 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1580 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1581 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1584 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1586 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1587 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1588 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1589 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1591 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1593 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1594 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1595 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1596 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1598 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1599 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1600 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1603 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1604 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1605 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1606 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1608 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1609 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1610 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1611 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1612 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1614 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1615 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1616 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1617 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1618 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1619 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1621 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1622 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1623 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1624 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1625 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1626 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1628 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1629 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1631 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1632 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1633 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1634 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1636 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1637 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1640 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1644 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1645 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1647 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1648 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1649 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1650 guts. (nothingmuch).
1652 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1654 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1656 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1657 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1658 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1659 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1661 * Moose::Meta::Class
1662 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1665 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1666 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1668 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1669 * Moose::Unsweetened
1670 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1673 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1674 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1675 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1676 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1677 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1678 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1681 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1682 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1683 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1684 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1685 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1686 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1687 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1688 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1689 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1691 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1693 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1694 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1696 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1697 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1698 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1699 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1701 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1702 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1703 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1704 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1705 same methods for a single role did not work
1706 right (worked just fine with multiple
1708 - added test for this (stevan)
1710 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1711 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1712 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1715 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1716 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1717 - added test for this (t0m)
1720 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1721 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1722 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1724 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1725 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1726 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1727 - added test for this (t0m)
1729 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1730 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1731 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1732 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1733 - added test for this (perigrin)
1736 - create method for constructing a role
1737 dynamically (Sartak)
1738 - added test for this (Sartak)
1739 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1740 - added test for this (Sartak)
1743 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1745 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1746 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1747 methods is useful (Sartak)
1749 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1751 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1754 * Moose::Meta::Class
1755 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1756 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1757 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1758 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1759 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1760 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1763 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1764 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1766 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1767 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1768 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1769 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1770 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1772 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1774 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1775 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1776 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1779 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1780 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1781 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1782 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1783 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1784 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1787 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1788 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1789 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1790 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1791 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1792 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1793 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1794 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1795 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1796 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1797 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1799 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1800 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1803 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1804 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1805 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1806 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1807 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1809 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1811 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1812 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1813 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1815 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1816 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1818 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1819 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1820 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1821 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1824 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1825 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1827 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1829 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1830 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1832 * Moose::Meta::Class
1833 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1834 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1835 a required attribute
1837 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1838 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1839 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1840 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1842 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1843 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1845 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1846 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1847 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1848 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1849 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1850 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1851 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1852 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1854 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1855 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1856 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1858 * Roles and role application
1859 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1860 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1861 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1862 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1863 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1865 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1866 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1869 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1870 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1871 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1872 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1873 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1876 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1877 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1878 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1879 changes in the Moose internals.
1881 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1882 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1883 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1886 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1887 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1888 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1889 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1891 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1892 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1893 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1894 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1896 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1897 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1898 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1899 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1900 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1901 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1902 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1903 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1904 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1905 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1906 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1907 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1908 constraint implementations.
1910 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1914 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1915 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1916 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1917 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1918 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1919 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1920 - added tests for this (rafl)
1922 * Moose::Meta::Class
1923 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1924 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1925 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1926 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1927 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1928 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1929 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1930 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1933 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1934 - added tests for this (thepler)
1936 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1937 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1938 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1939 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1942 * Moose::Meta::Class
1943 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1944 * Moose::Meta::Method
1947 * Moose::Error::Default
1948 * Moose::Error::Croak
1949 * Moose::Error::Confess
1950 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1951 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1952 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1953 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1954 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1955 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1957 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1959 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1960 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1962 * Moose::Unsweetened
1963 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1964 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1965 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1967 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1968 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1969 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1970 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1971 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1974 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1975 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1977 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1978 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1979 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1980 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1983 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1985 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1986 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1988 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1991 - Various bug fixes.
1993 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1994 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1996 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1998 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1999 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2000 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2001 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2002 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2003 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2005 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2006 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2007 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2009 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2010 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2011 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2014 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2015 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2016 dependency to 0.64_07.
2018 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2019 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2020 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2022 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2023 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2026 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2027 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2028 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2029 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2030 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2031 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2033 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2034 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2036 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2038 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2039 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2043 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2044 method when that method was provided by another role being
2045 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2046 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2048 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2050 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2051 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2053 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2056 - added test for this (t0m)
2058 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2059 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2060 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2062 - added test for this (t0m)

2154 ... this is not my day today ...
2156 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2157 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2158 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2159 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2160 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2163 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2164 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2165 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2166 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2167 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2170 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2172 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2173 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2205 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2206 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2207 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2208 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2209 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2210 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2211 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2212 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2213 - added tests for this
2215 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2216 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2217 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2326 XS based functionality is now optional
2327 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2432 drink more coffee before
2433 doing release engineering
2435 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2751 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2752 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2753 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2757 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2759 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2760 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2761 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2763 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2776 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2777 - added tests for this
2779 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2782 types without having to explictly define them
2783 - added tests for this
2785 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2786 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2787 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2789 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2791 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2792 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2793 - added tests for this
2794 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2795 a single type at different times instead of
2796 having to do it all in one place
2797 - added tests for this
2799 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2800 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2801 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2804 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2805 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2806 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2807 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2808 new features above (although you cannot add
2809 more type coercions for Union types)
2811 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2812 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2813 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2815 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2816 - added tests for this.
2817 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2818 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2819 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2820 - added tests for this
2821 - added docs for this
2823 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2824 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2825 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2826 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2827 instead it will just return undef.
2828 - added docs for this
2830 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2842 with work correctly.
2843 - added tests for this
2846 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2847 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2850 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2851 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2852 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2854 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2886 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2889 - fixed how required methods are handled
2890 when they encounter overriden or modified
2891 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2892 - added tests for this
2894 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2895 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2896 the | always creates a union and so is
2897 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2898 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2900 - added more tests for this
2902 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2905 * Parameterized Types
2906 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2907 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2908 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2909 They can also be nested:
2910 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2911 And work with the type unions as well:
2912 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2914 * Better Framework Extendability
2915 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2916 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2917 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2918 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2921 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2922 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2923 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2924 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2927 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2929 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2930 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2933 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2960 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2961 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2963 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2964 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2965 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2966 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2968 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2969 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2970 - updated the accompanying test as well
2972 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2973 +++ with new features added as well +++
2975 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2976 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2977 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2978 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2979 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2981 - added tests for this
2983 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2984 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2985 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2986 can track where the type constraints are created
2988 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2989 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2990 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2992 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2993 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2994 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2995 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3009 (thanks to shlomif).
3011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3012 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3013 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3014 - added tests for this
3015 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
3017 - added tests for this
3019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3020 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3062 (but not changing the handles option)
3063 - added tests and docs for this
3066 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3067 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3068 - adjusted tests for this
3070 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3071 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3072 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3078 the other side (perigrin)
3080 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3082 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3083 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3084 prototypes for functions
3085 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3086 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3096 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3099 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3100 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3101 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3102 - added tests for this
3104 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3106 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3107 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

3119 where not handled correctly in roles
3120 - added tests for this
3122 * Moose::Meta::Class
3123 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3124 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3125 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3127 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3128 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3130 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3131 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3132 so this release is just to fix that.
3135 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3136 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3137 (thanks to konobi for this)
3138 - added tests and docs
3140 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3141 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3143 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3144 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3145 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3146 - added tests for this
3147 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3148 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3149 functions to facilitate introspection.
3151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3152 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3153 to build the list of delegated methods
3154 correctly (and not override important
3155 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3157 - added tests and docs for this
3158 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3159 so that you can actually document your
3160 attributes and inspect them through the
3162 - added tests and docs for this
3164 * Moose::Meta::Class
3165 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3166 it will first look in for the class in the
3167 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3168 then default to just loading $name.
3169 - added tests and docs for this
3171 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3172 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3173 - added test for this
3176 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3177 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3178 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3179 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3181 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3182 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3185 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3187 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3188 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3189 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3192 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3193 !! for this developer release to work !!
3195 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3196 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3197 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3198 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3199 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3200 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3201 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3202 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3203 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3204 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3205 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3207 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3208 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3209 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3210 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3213 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3215 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3216 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3217 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3219 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3221 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3222 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3225 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3226 called unless they actually need to be.
3227 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3228 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3229 DEMOLISH method present.
3231 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3233 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3234 type constraint, which allows for a
3235 hand optimized version of the type
3236 constraint to be used when possible.
3237 - Any internally created type constraints
3238 now provide an optimized version as well.
3240 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3242 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3243 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3244 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3246 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3247 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3248 your class namespace of these exported
3251 * Moose::Meta::Class
3252 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3253 comes up during global destruction
3255 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3259 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3263 - changed how we do type checks so that
3264 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3267 - moved accessor generation methods to
3268 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3269 conform to the API changes from
3272 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3273 - changed how constraints are compiled
3274 so that we do less recursion and more
3275 iteration. This makes the type check
3277 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3280 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3281 - created this from methods formerly found in
3282 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3284 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3285 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3287 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3288 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3290 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3291 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3293 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3296 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3297 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3298 - added tests for this
3299 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3300 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3301 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3302 - removed tests for this
3304 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3306 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3307 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3308 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3311 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3312 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3313 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3315 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3316 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3317 comments for more info.
3320 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3321 asked questions and common problems
3323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3324 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3325 - added tests for this
3327 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3328 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3329 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3330 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3332 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3333 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3336 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3337 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3338 is much appreciated :)
3339 - added tests for this
3341 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3342 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3343 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3346 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3347 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3349 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3351 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3352 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3356 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3357 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3358 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3360 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3362 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3365 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3366 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3367 keywords because we need to localize them.
3368 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3370 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3371 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3372 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3375 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3378 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3379 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3380 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3383 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3384 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3385 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3387 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3389 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3390 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3391 bottom of your class file.
3394 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3397 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3399 - improved error message when loading modules so
3400 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3401 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3402 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3405 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3406 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3407 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3409 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3410 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3412 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3413 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3414 turn them on for you.
3415 - added tests for this
3416 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3417 in Moose::Meta::Class

3445 - This release works in combination with
3446 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3447 release because it uses the a new
3448 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3449 complete Role implementation. It has
3450 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3451 the the previous CPAN version. This
3452 release also lacks good updated docs,
3453 the official release will have updated docs.
3456 - refactored the keyword exports
3457 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3458 accepts more than one Role at a time
3459 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3460 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3463 - refactored the keyword exports
3464 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3465 accepts more than one Role at a time
3467 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3468 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3469 string enumerations which can be used as
3471 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3474 - more careful checking of params to new()
3477 - much work done on the role composition
3478 - many new tests for conflict detection
3479 and composition edge cases
3480 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3481 looking at the tests
3483 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3484 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3485 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3487 * Moose::Meta::Class
3488 - some small changes to support the new
3490 - some small additions to support Roles
3492 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3493 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3495 - some small changes to support the new
3497 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3498 with the 'handles' option
3499 - added several tests for this
3500 - no docs for this yet

3504 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3505 thanks to chansen for this commit
3506 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3507 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3508 on a per-attribute basis
3509 - added tests for this
3510 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3511 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3512 experimental feature and probably not finished
3513 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3514 more details, or ask about it on #moose
