1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
9 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
11 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
15 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
17 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
21 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
24 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
25 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
26 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
28 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
31 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
35 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
37 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
41 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
43 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
47 * Include changes from 2.0010.
49 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
53 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
54 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
58 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
59 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
60 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
65 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
67 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
71 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
72 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
74 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
78 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
80 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
84 * Various packaging issues.
86 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
90 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
91 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
96 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
97 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
98 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
102 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
103 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
104 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
106 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
110 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
111 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
113 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
117 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
118 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
120 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
123 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
124 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
128 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
129 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
131 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
135 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
136 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
140 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
142 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
146 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
148 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
152 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
153 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
155 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
159 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
161 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
165 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
167 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
168 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
170 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
174 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
175 skips every other role. (rjbs)
177 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
178 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
179 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
180 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
181 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
183 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
187 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
188 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
189 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
192 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
197 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
199 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
200 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
202 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
206 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
207 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
208 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
212 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
213 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
215 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
216 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
218 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
219 environments. (doy, mateu)
221 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
225 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
226 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
227 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
228 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
232 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
233 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
235 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
239 * Update conflicts list.
242 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
246 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
247 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
248 details. (Dave Rolsky)
250 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
251 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
252 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
253 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
254 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
258 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
259 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
260 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
261 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
262 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
265 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
269 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
270 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
272 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
275 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
279 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
280 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
281 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
282 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
284 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
285 immutable classes). (mo)
287 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
288 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
289 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
291 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
295 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
297 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
299 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
303 * Fix some indexing issues.
305 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
307 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
311 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
312 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
313 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
314 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
315 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
317 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
318 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
323 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
324 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
325 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
326 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
328 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
329 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
330 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
334 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
335 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
338 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
342 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
343 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
347 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
351 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
352 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
353 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
354 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
357 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
361 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
364 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
368 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
369 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
370 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
373 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
377 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
378 policy. (Chris Prather)
380 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
381 on this new support policy. (doy)
385 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
386 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
387 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
389 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
390 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
392 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
396 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
397 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
398 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
399 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
402 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
406 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
407 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
410 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
414 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
415 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
417 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
418 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
422 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
423 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
424 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
425 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
426 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
427 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
429 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
430 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
432 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
433 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
434 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
435 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
437 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
438 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
440 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
445 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
446 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
448 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
452 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
453 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
454 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
456 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
460 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
461 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
462 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
464 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
465 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
468 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
469 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
472 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
473 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
474 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
476 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
477 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
482 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
483 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
484 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
485 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
487 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
488 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
490 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
491 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
493 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
494 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
495 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
496 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
498 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
499 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
500 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
503 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
504 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
505 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
506 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
508 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
509 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
512 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
513 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
514 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
516 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
520 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
521 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
522 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
524 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
525 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
526 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
529 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
530 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
531 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
533 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
534 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
535 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
537 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
538 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
542 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
543 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
544 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
546 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
547 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
548 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
549 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
551 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
555 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
556 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
557 value is a reference.
559 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
560 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
562 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
566 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
567 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
568 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
570 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
574 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
575 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
579 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
580 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
581 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
583 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
584 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
585 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
587 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
591 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
593 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
597 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
599 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
600 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
605 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
606 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
608 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
609 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
610 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
611 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
612 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
614 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
615 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
616 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
617 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
619 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
623 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
624 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
629 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
631 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
633 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
638 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
640 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
644 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
645 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
646 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
648 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
649 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
650 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
651 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
653 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
654 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
655 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
656 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
657 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
660 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
665 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
666 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
667 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
668 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
669 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
672 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
676 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
679 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
680 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
684 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
685 function (not just method). (doy)
689 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
690 and aren't easily installable/testable.
692 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
696 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
697 to be overridden more easily (doy).
699 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
703 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
704 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
706 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
710 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
711 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
712 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
714 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
718 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
719 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
720 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
722 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
723 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
727 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
728 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
730 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
731 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
735 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
736 is applied to a class (t0m).
738 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
739 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
741 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
744 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
745 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
747 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
748 be much more robust. (doy)
750 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
752 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
755 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
759 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
760 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
762 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
766 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
767 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
769 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
772 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
773 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
774 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
776 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
777 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
778 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
781 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
783 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
787 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
788 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
792 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
794 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
798 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
799 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
803 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
804 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
808 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
810 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
814 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
815 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
819 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
820 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
824 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
825 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
827 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
831 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
832 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
833 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
836 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
840 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
841 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
842 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
843 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
845 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
849 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
850 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
851 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
855 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
858 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
862 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
863 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
864 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
868 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
869 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
871 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
872 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
873 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
874 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
876 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
880 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
884 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
885 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
887 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
888 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
889 - Moose::Util::does_role
890 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
891 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
892 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
894 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
898 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
899 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
900 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
903 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
907 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
908 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
911 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
915 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
916 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
919 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
923 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
925 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
926 class. (Dave Rolsky).
928 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
929 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
930 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
932 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
933 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
934 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
937 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
938 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
940 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
941 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
942 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
944 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
946 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
947 substr et al, again. (sorear)
949 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
951 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
954 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
955 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
957 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
958 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
960 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
961 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
962 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
963 dependencies installed.
965 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
966 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
969 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
971 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
975 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
977 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
978 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
979 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
981 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
982 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
983 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
985 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
986 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
989 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
990 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
991 others. (nothingmuch)
993 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
994 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
995 remove_accessors. (doy)
997 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
998 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
999 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1002 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1004 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1005 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1006 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1007 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1009 * Moose::Meta::Class
1010 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1011 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1013 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1014 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1016 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1018 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1019 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1022 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1023 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1024 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1025 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1026 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1028 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1029 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1030 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1031 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1032 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1033 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1034 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1037 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1038 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1039 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1040 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1041 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1043 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1044 which were not receiving the value of
1045 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1046 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1047 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1048 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1052 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1053 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1054 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1055 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1056 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1059 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1060 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1061 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1062 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1064 * Moose::Meta::Class
1065 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1066 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1067 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1070 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1071 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1072 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1074 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1075 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1076 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1079 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1080 class if you pass it options for
1081 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1082 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1083 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1084 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1085 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1086 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1087 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1088 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1089 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1091 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1092 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1093 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1094 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1095 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1098 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1099 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1100 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1101 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1103 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1104 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1105 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1106 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1107 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1108 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1111 * Moose::Error::Croak
1112 * Moose::Error::Confess
1113 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1114 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1117 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1120 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1121 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1122 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1124 * Moose::Meta::Class
1125 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1128 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1129 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1130 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1132 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1133 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1134 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1135 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1136 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1138 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1139 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1142 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1144 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1145 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1148 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1149 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1152 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1153 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1154 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1156 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1157 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1158 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1159 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1160 using it for new code!
1162 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1163 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1164 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1165 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1167 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1168 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1169 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1170 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1171 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1172 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1173 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1174 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1177 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1180 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1181 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1184 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1185 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1187 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1188 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1189 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1191 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1192 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1193 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1194 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1196 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1197 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1198 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1200 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1201 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1202 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1205 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1206 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1207 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1208 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1209 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1210 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1212 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1214 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1218 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1219 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1221 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1222 associated_methods. (hdp)
1223 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1224 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1225 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1226 misspelled) arguments
1228 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1229 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1230 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1231 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1233 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1234 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1235 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1237 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1240 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1241 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1242 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1245 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1246 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1248 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1249 * Moose::Meta::Class
1250 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1251 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1253 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1254 * Moose::Manual::Types
1255 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1256 string parsing rathole (mst)
1258 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1259 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1260 using plain objects instead
1262 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1263 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1264 that's what we need.
1266 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1267 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1268 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1269 three times today (perigrin)
1270 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1271 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1273 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1274 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1275 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1276 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1279 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1280 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1281 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1282 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1283 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1284 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1287 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1288 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1289 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1290 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1293 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1295 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1298 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1300 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1303 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1304 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1305 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1309 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1310 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1313 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1314 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1316 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1317 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1318 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1320 * Moose::Unsweetened
1321 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1323 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1324 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1327 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1331 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1332 methods during global destruction (doy)
1334 * Moose::Meta::Class
1335 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1336 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1337 consumption (Sartak)
1339 * Moose::Meta::Class
1340 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1341 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1344 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1345 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1348 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1349 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1351 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1353 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1357 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1358 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1359 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1362 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1363 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1364 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1367 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1369 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1370 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1371 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1374 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1375 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1376 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1377 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1379 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1380 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1381 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1384 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1387 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1388 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1389 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1393 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1394 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1396 * Moose::Meta::Class
1397 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1399 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1401 * Moose::Meta::Class
1402 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1403 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1406 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1407 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1410 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1411 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1414 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1417 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1420 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1423 * Moose::Meta::Class
1424 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1426 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1427 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1430 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1431 * More deprecations and renamings
1432 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1433 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1434 when an object is constructed)
1437 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1438 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1439 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1441 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1442 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1443 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1444 feature, and it works again.
1447 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1449 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1451 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1452 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1453 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1455 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1456 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1457 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1458 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1459 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1461 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1462 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1463 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1464 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1465 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1468 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1469 metaclass object. (hdp)
1471 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1472 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1473 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1474 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1475 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1476 point out this fact. (hdp)
1478 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1479 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1481 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1482 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1484 * Moose::Meta::Class
1485 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1486 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1487 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1488 called during instance construction were passed the
1489 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1490 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1492 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1493 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1496 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1497 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1498 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1501 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1502 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1503 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1504 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1505 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1507 - Moose::Meta::Class
1508 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1510 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1511 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1512 when an object is constructed)
1513 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1515 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1516 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1517 when an object is constructed)
1518 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1519 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1520 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1523 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1525 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1526 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1528 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1530 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1531 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1532 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1534 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1535 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1536 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1538 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1540 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1541 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1543 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1544 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1547 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1548 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1551 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1552 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1553 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1555 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1556 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1560 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1561 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1562 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1565 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1568 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1569 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1570 with recommended workarounds.
1572 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1573 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1575 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1576 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1577 (yes, spelled like that).
1579 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1580 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1582 * Moose::Meta::Class
1583 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1584 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1586 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1588 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1589 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1590 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1591 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1592 instead. Reported by doy.
1594 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1596 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1597 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1600 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1601 message) is now deprecated.
1602 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1603 often got it wrong. For example:
1605 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1607 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1611 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1612 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1613 bite you in weird cases.
1615 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1616 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1617 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1618 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1620 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1621 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1625 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1628 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1629 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1632 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1633 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1636 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1639 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1640 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1641 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1642 - added tests for this (stevan)
1644 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1645 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1646 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1647 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1651 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1652 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1653 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1654 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1656 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1657 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1658 - added tests for this (rafl)
1660 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1661 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1662 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1663 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1667 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1668 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1671 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1672 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1673 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1675 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1677 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1678 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1680 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1681 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1682 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1683 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1684 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1686 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1687 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1688 error message did not specify the attribute name
1691 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1693 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1695 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1696 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1697 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1699 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1700 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1703 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1705 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1706 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1707 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1708 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1710 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1712 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1713 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1714 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1715 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1718 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1719 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1722 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1723 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1724 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1725 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1727 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1728 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1729 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1730 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1731 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1733 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1734 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1735 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1736 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1737 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1738 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1740 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1741 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1742 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1743 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1744 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1745 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1747 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1748 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1750 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1751 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1752 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1753 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1755 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1756 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1759 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1763 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1764 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1766 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1767 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1768 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1769 guts. (nothingmuch).
1771 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1772 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1773 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1775 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1776 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1777 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1778 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1780 * Moose::Meta::Class
1781 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1784 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1785 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1787 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1788 * Moose::Unsweetened
1789 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1792 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1793 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1794 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1795 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1796 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1797 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1799 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1800 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1801 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1802 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1803 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1804 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1805 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1806 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1807 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1808 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1810 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1812 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1813 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1815 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1816 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1817 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1818 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1820 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1821 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1822 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1823 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1824 same methods for a single role did not work
1825 right (worked just fine with multiple
1827 - added test for this (stevan)
1829 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1830 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1831 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1834 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1835 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1836 - added test for this (t0m)
1839 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1840 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1841 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1843 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1844 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1845 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1846 - added test for this (t0m)
1848 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1849 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1850 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1851 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1852 - added test for this (perigrin)
1855 - create method for constructing a role
1856 dynamically (Sartak)
1857 - added test for this (Sartak)
1858 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1859 - added test for this (Sartak)
1862 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1864 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1865 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1866 methods is useful (Sartak)
1868 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1869 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1870 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1873 * Moose::Meta::Class
1874 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1875 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1876 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1877 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1878 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1879 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1882 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1883 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1885 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1886 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1887 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1888 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1889 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1891 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1893 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1894 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1895 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1898 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1899 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1900 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1901 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1902 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1903 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1906 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1907 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1908 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1909 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1910 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1911 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1912 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1913 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1914 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1915 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1916 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1918 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1919 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1922 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1923 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1924 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1925 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1926 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1928 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1930 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1931 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1932 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1934 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1935 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1937 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1938 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1939 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1940 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1943 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1944 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1946 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1948 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1949 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1951 * Moose::Meta::Class
1952 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1953 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1954 a required attribute
1956 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1957 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1958 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1959 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1961 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1962 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1964 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1965 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1966 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1967 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1968 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1969 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1970 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1971 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1973 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1974 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1975 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1977 * Roles and role application
1978 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1979 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1980 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1981 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1982 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1984 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1985 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1988 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1989 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1990 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1991 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1992 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1995 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1996 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1997 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1998 changes in the Moose internals.
2000 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2002 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2005 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2006 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2007 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2008 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2010 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2011 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2012 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2013 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2015 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2016 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2017 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2018 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2019 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2020 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2021 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2022 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2023 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2024 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2025 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2026 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2027 constraint implementations.
2029 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2033 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2034 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2035 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2036 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2037 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2038 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2039 - added tests for this (rafl)
2041 * Moose::Meta::Class
2042 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2043 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2044 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2045 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2046 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2047 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2048 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2049 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2052 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2053 - added tests for this (thepler)
2055 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2056 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2057 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2058 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2061 * Moose::Meta::Class
2062 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2063 * Moose::Meta::Method
2066 * Moose::Error::Default
2067 * Moose::Error::Croak
2068 * Moose::Error::Confess
2069 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2070 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2071 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2072 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2073 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2074 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2076 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2078 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2079 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2081 * Moose::Unsweetened
2082 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then

2084 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2086 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2087 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2088 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2089 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2090 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2093 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2094 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2096 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2097 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2098 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2099 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2105 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2107 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2110 - Various bug fixes.

2146 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2147 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2148 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2149 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2150 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2152 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2153 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2155 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2157 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ

2179 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2181 - added test for this (t0m)
2184 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2185 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2186 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2189 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2190 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2192 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2195 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2197 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2273 ... this is not my day today ...
2275 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2276 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2277 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2278 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2279 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2282 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2283 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2284 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2285 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2286 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2289 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2291 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2292 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2324 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2325 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2326 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2327 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2328 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2329 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2330 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2331 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2332 - added tests for this
2334 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2335 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2336 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2442 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2444 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2445 XS based functionality is now optional
2446 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2447 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2448 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2551 drink more coffee before
2552 doing release engineering

2810 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2811 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2812 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2813 method in the first place ;)
2815 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008

2876 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2878 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2879 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2880 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2919 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2920 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2923 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2924 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2925 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2926 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2942 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2943 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2962 - added tests for this
2965 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2966 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3005 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3008 - fixed how required methods are handled
3009 when they encounter overriden or modified
3010 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3011 - added tests for this
3013 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3014 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3015 the | always creates a union and so is
3016 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3017 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3019 - added more tests for this
3021 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3024 * Parameterized Types
3025 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3026 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3027 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3028 They can also be nested:
3029 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3030 And work with the type unions as well:
3031 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3033 * Better Framework Extendability
3034 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3035 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3036 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3037 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3040 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3041 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3042 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3043 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3046 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3048 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3049 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3200 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3201 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3202 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3203 prototypes for functions
3204 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3205 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3220 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3221 - added tests for this
3223 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3225 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3251 so this release is just to fix that.
3254 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3255 to create multiple attrs (see docs)

3268 functions to facilitate introspection.
3270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3271 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3272 to build the list of delegated methods
3273 correctly (and not override important
3274 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3276 - added tests and docs for this
3277 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3278 so that you can actually document your
3279 attributes and inspect them through the
3281 - added tests and docs for this
3283 * Moose::Meta::Class
3284 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3285 it will first look in for the class in the
3286 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3287 then default to just loading $name.
3288 - added tests and docs for this
3290 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3291 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3292 - added test for this
3295 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3296 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3297 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3298 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3300 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3301 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3304 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3306 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3307 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3308 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3311 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3312 !! for this developer release to work !!
3314 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3315 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3316 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3317 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3318 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3319 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3320 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3321 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3322 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3323 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3324 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3326 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3327 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3328 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3329 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3332 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3333 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3334 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3335 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3336 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3338 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3340 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3341 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3344 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3345 called unless they actually need to be.
3346 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3347 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3348 DEMOLISH method present.
3350 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3351 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3352 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3353 type constraint, which allows for a
3354 hand optimized version of the type
3355 constraint to be used when possible.
3356 - Any internally created type constraints
3357 now provide an optimized version as well.
3359 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3361 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3362 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3363 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3365 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3366 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3367 your class namespace of these exported
3370 * Moose::Meta::Class
3371 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3372 comes up during global destruction
3374 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3378 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3381 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3382 - changed how we do type checks so that
3383 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3386 - moved accessor generation methods to
3387 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3388 conform to the API changes from
3391 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3392 - changed how constraints are compiled
3393 so that we do less recursion and more
3394 iteration. This makes the type check
3396 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3399 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3400 - created this from methods formerly found in
3401 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3403 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3404 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3406 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3407 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3409 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3410 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3412 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3414 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3415 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3416 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3417 - added tests for this
3418 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3419 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3420 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3421 - removed tests for this
3423 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3425 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3426 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3427 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3430 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3431 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3432 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3434 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3435 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3436 comments for more info.
3439 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3440 asked questions and common problems
3442 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3443 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3444 - added tests for this
3446 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3447 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3448 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3449 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3451 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3452 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3455 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3456 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3457 is much appreciated :)
3458 - added tests for this
3460 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3461 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3462 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3465 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3466 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3468 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3470 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3471 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3475 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3476 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3477 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3479 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3481 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3484 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3485 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3486 keywords because we need to localize them.
3487 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3489 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3490 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3491 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3494 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3497 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3498 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3499 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3502 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3503 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3504 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3506 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3508 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3509 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3510 bottom of your class file.
3513 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3516 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3518 - improved error message when loading modules so
3519 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3520 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3521 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3524 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3525 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3526 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3529 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3531 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3532 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3533 turn them on for you.
3534 - added tests for this
3535 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3536 in Moose::Meta::Class
3539 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3540 automatically turned on for you.
3541 - added tests for this
3544 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3545 - added tests for this
3546 - added some more edge case tests

3559 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3562 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3563 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3564 - This release works in combination with
3565 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3566 release because it uses the a new
3567 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3568 complete Role implementation. It has
3569 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3570 the the previous CPAN version. This
3571 release also lacks good updated docs,
3572 the official release will have updated docs.
3575 - refactored the keyword exports
3576 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3577 accepts more than one Role at a time
3578 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3579 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3582 - refactored the keyword exports
3583 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3584 accepts more than one Role at a time
3586 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3587 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3588 string enumerations which can be used as
3590 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3593 - more careful checking of params to new()
3596 - much work done on the role composition
3597 - many new tests for conflict detection
3598 and composition edge cases
3599 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3600 looking at the tests
3602 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3603 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3604 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3606 * Moose::Meta::Class
3607 - some small changes to support the new
3609 - some small additions to support Roles
3611 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3612 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3614 - some small changes to support the new
3616 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3617 with the 'handles' option
3618 - added several tests for this
3619 - no docs for this yet
3621 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3623 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3624 thanks to chansen for this commit
3625 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3626 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3627 on a per-attribute basis
3628 - added tests for this
3629 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3630 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3631 experimental feature and probably not finished
