1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
4 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
6 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
7 existing delegation API. (hdp)
9 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
10 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
11 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
12 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
13 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
14 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
18 * Moose::Error::Confess
19 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
20 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
23 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
26 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
27 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
29 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
30 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
31 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
32 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
33 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
35 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
36 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
39 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
41 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
42 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
45 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
46 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
48 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
49 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
50 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
51 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
53 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
54 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
55 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
56 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
57 using it for new code!
59 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
60 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
61 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
62 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
65 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
66 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
67 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
68 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
69 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
70 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
71 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
74 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
77 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
78 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
81 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
82 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
84 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
85 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
86 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
89 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
90 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
91 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
94 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
95 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
97 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
98 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
99 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
102 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
103 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
104 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
105 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
106 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
107 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
109 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
111 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
115 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
116 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
118 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
119 associated_methods. (hdp)
120 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
121 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
122 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
123 misspelled) arguments
125 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
126 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
127 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
128 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
131 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
132 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
134 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
137 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
138 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
139 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
142 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
143 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
145 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
147 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
148 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
150 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
151 * Moose::Manual::Types
152 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
153 string parsing rathole (mst)
155 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
156 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
157 using plain objects instead
159 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
160 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
163 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
165 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
166 three times today (perigrin)
167 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
168 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
170 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
171 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
172 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
173 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
176 - A role's required methods are now represented by
177 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
178 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
179 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
180 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
181 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
184 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
185 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
186 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
187 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
190 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
192 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
195 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
197 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
200 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
201 during global destruction. This method has been made more
202 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
206 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
207 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
210 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
211 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
213 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
214 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
215 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
218 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
220 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
221 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
224 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
228 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
229 methods during global destruction (doy)
232 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
233 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
237 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
238 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
241 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
242 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
245 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
246 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
248 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
250 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
254 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
255 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
256 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
259 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
260 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
261 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
264 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
266 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
267 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
268 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
271 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
272 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
273 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
274 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
276 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
277 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
278 of the Moose core (Sartak)
281 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
284 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
285 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
286 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
290 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
291 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
294 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
296 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
299 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
300 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
303 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
304 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
307 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
308 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
311 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
314 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
317 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
321 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
323 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
324 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
327 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
328 * More deprecations and renamings
329 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
330 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
331 when an object is constructed)
334 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
335 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
336 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
338 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
339 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
340 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
341 feature, and it works again.
344 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
346 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
348 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
349 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
350 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
353 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
354 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
355 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
356 message. Test provided by perigrin.
358 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
359 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
360 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
361 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
362 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
365 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
366 metaclass object. (hdp)
368 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
369 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
370 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
371 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
372 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
373 point out this fact. (hdp)
375 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
376 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
378 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
379 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
382 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
383 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
384 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
385 called during instance construction were passed the
386 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
387 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
389 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
390 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
393 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
394 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
395 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
398 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
399 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
400 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
401 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
402 them, but they are not for "public" use.
405 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
407 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
408 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
409 when an object is constructed)
410 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
412 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
413 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
414 when an object is constructed)
415 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
416 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
417 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
420 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
422 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
423 * No changes from 0.72_01.
425 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
427 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
428 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
429 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
431 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
432 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
433 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
435 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
437 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
438 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
440 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
441 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
444 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
445 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
448 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
449 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
450 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
452 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
453 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
457 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
458 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
459 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
461 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
462 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
465 * Moose::Manual::Delta
466 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
467 with recommended workarounds.
469 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
470 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
472 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
473 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
474 (yes, spelled like that).
476 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
477 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
480 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
481 changes in latest Class::MOP.
483 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
485 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
486 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
487 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
488 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
489 instead. Reported by doy.
491 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
493 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
494 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
496 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
497 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
498 message) is now deprecated.
499 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
500 often got it wrong. For example:
502 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
504 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
508 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
509 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
510 bite you in weird cases.
512 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
513 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
514 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
517 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
518 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
522 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
525 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
526 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
529 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
530 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
532 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
533 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
536 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
537 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
538 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
539 - added tests for this (stevan)
541 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
542 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
543 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
544 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
548 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
549 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
550 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
551 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
553 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
554 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
555 - added tests for this (rafl)
557 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
558 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
559 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
560 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
564 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
565 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
568 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
569 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
570 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
572 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
574 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
575 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
578 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
579 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
580 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
581 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
583 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
584 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
585 error message did not specify the attribute name
588 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
590 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
592 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
593 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
594 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
596 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
597 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
600 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
602 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
603 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
604 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
605 of fixes and formatting improvements.
607 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
609 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
610 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
611 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
612 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
614 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
615 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
616 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
618 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
619 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
620 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
621 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
622 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
625 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
626 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
627 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
628 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
630 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
631 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
632 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
633 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
634 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
635 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
637 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
638 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
639 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
640 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
641 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
642 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
644 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
645 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
647 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
648 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
649 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
650 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
652 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
653 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
656 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
660 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
661 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
663 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
664 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
665 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
668 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
669 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
670 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
672 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
673 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
674 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
675 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
678 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
681 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
682 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
684 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
686 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
689 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
690 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
691 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
692 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
693 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
694 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
696 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
697 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
698 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
699 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
700 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
701 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
702 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
703 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
704 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
705 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
707 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
709 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
710 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
712 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
713 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
714 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
715 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
717 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
718 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
719 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
720 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
721 same methods for a single role did not work
722 right (worked just fine with multiple
724 - added test for this (stevan)
726 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
727 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
728 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
731 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
732 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
733 - added test for this (t0m)
736 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
737 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
738 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
741 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
742 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
743 - added test for this (t0m)
745 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
746 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
747 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
748 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
749 - added test for this (perigrin)
752 - create method for constructing a role
754 - added test for this (Sartak)
755 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
756 - added test for this (Sartak)
759 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
761 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
762 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
763 methods is useful (Sartak)
765 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
766 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
767 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
771 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
772 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
773 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
774 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
775 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
776 - added tests for this (jdv79)
779 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
780 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
782 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
783 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
784 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
785 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
786 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
788 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
790 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
791 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
792 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
795 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
796 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
797 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
798 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
799 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
800 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
803 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
804 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
805 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
806 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
807 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
808 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
809 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
810 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
811 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
812 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
813 future. (jnapiorkowski)
815 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
816 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
819 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
820 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
821 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
822 type. (jnapiorkowski)
823 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
825 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
827 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
828 predicate, and link to more details sections in
829 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
831 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
832 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
834 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
835 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
836 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
837 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
840 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
841 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
843 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
845 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
846 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
849 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
850 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
853 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
854 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
855 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
856 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
858 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
859 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
862 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
863 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
864 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
865 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
866 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
867 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
868 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
870 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
871 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
872 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
874 * Roles and role application
875 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
876 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
877 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
878 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
879 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
881 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
882 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
885 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
886 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
887 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
888 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
889 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
892 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
893 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
894 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
895 changes in the Moose internals.
897 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
898 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
899 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
902 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
903 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
904 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
905 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
907 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
908 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
909 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
910 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
912 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
913 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
914 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
915 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
916 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
917 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
918 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
919 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
920 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
921 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
922 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
923 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
924 constraint implementations.
926 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
930 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
931 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
932 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
933 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
934 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
935 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
936 - added tests for this (rafl)
939 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
940 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
941 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
942 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
943 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
944 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
945 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
946 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
949 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
950 - added tests for this (thepler)
952 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
953 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
954 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
955 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
959 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
960 * Moose::Meta::Method
963 * Moose::Error::Default
964 * Moose::Error::Croak
965 * Moose::Error::Confess
966 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
967 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
968 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
969 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
970 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
971 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
973 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
975 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
976 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
979 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
980 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
981 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
983 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
984 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
985 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
986 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
987 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
990 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
991 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
993 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
994 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
995 several major changes in this release of Moose.
996 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
999 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1001 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1002 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1004 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1007 - Various bug fixes.
1009 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1010 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1012 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1014 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1015 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1016 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1017 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1018 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1019 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1021 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1022 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1023 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1025 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1026 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1027 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1030 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1031 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1032 dependency to 0.64_07.
1034 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1035 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1036 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1038 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1039 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1042 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1043 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1044 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1045 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1046 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1047 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1049 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1050 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1052 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1054 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1055 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1059 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1060 method when that method was provided by another role being
1061 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1062 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1064 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1066 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1067 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1069 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1070 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1071 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1072 - added test for this (t0m)
1074 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1075 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1076 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1078 - added test for this (t0m)
1081 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1082 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1083 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1086 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1087 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1089 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1091 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1092 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1094 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1095 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1096 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1098 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1099 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1102 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1103 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1104 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1105 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1109 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1110 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1111 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1114 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1115 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1116 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1117 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1120 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1124 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1125 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1126 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1128 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1130 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1131 created so that the process can be more easily
1132 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1134 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1135 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1136 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1137 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1139 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1140 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1143 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1144 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1146 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1147 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1148 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1150 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1151 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1152 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1154 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1155 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1157 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1158 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1161 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1162 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1166 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1167 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1169 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1170 ... this is not my day today ...
1172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1173 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1174 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1175 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1176 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1179 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1180 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1181 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1182 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1183 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1186 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1188 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1189 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1190 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1191 this is not ever something you want to do
1192 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1193 - added tests for this (stevan)
1196 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1198 - added test for this
1200 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1201 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1202 - added tests for this (wreis)
1204 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1205 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1206 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1207 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1209 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1210 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1211 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1214 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1216 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1218 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1221 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1222 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1223 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1224 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1225 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1226 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1227 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1228 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1229 - added tests for this
1231 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1232 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1233 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1234 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1236 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1239 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1240 - added tests for this (sartak)
1241 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1242 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1245 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1247 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1248 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1250 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1251 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1252 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1253 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1255 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1257 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1258 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1261 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1262 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1263 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1266 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1267 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1269 - added docs for this (TODO).
1270 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1271 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1272 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1273 - fix builder and default both being used
1278 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1280 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1281 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1282 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1286 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1290 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1291 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1292 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1294 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1295 - move the ClassName type check code to
1296 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1298 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1299 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1301 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1302 (early morning release engineering)--
1304 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1305 which was causing the indexer to choke
1307 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1308 (late night release engineering)--
1310 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1311 changes in this release
1313 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1314 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1315 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1317 * Moose::Meta::Class
1318 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1319 since it is called so often by &meta
1321 * Moose::Meta::Class
1323 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1324 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1328 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1329 method for immutablization to check if the
1330 destructor object even needs to be created
1333 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1334 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1335 - added more descriptive error message to help
1336 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1337 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1339 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1341 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1342 XS based functionality is now optional
1343 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1344 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1345 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1347 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1348 to take care of this, mostly we added
1349 support for the package_name and name
1350 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1351 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1352 support regexp matching of names
1353 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1354 - tests added for this
1355 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1356 is currently not supported in roles,
1357 but, ... patches welcome
1358 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1359 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1360 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1363 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1364 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1365 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1366 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1367 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1368 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1369 - added test for this
1371 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1372 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1373 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1376 * Moose::Meta::Class
1377 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1381 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1383 - added tests for this
1384 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1385 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1387 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1388 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1389 themselves parameterizable types

1448 drink more coffee before
1449 doing release engineering

1566 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1568 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1569 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1612 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1613 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1906 when they encounter overriden or modified
1907 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1908 - added tests for this

1918 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1921 * Parameterized Types
1922 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1923 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1924 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1925 They can also be nested:
1926 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1927 And work with the type unions as well:
1928 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1930 * Better Framework Extendability
1931 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1932 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1933 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1934 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1937 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1938 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1939 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1940 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2076 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
2077 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
2078 (but not changing the handles option)
2079 - added tests and docs for this
2082 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2083 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2084 - adjusted tests for this
2086 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2087 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2088 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
2089 * Moose::Meta::Class

2091 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
2092 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2093 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2094 the other side (perigrin)
2096 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2097 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2098 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2099 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2100 prototypes for functions
2101 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2102 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2103 - added tests and docs for this
2104 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2105 default for where be { 1 }

2110 merlyn for finding this bug
2111 - tests added for this
2112 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2115 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2116 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2117 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2118 - added tests for this
2120 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2122 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2138 * Moose::Meta::Class
2139 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2140 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2141 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2143 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2144 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2146 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2147 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2148 so this release is just to fix that.
2151 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2152 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2153 (thanks to konobi for this)
2154 - added tests and docs
2156 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2164 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2165 functions to facilitate introspection.
2167 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2168 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2169 to build the list of delegated methods
2170 correctly (and not override important
2171 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2173 - added tests and docs for this
2174 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2175 so that you can actually document your
2176 attributes and inspect them through the
2178 - added tests and docs for this
2180 * Moose::Meta::Class
2181 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2182 it will first look in for the class in the
2183 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2184 then default to just loading $name.
2185 - added tests and docs for this
2187 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2188 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2189 - added test for this
2192 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2193 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2194 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2195 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2197 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2198 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2201 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2203 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2204 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2205 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2208 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2209 !! for this developer release to work !!
2211 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2212 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2213 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2214 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2215 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2216 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2217 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2218 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2219 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2220 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2221 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2223 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2224 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2225 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2226 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2229 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2230 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2231 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2232 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2233 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2235 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2237 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2238 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2241 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2242 called unless they actually need to be.
2243 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2244 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2245 DEMOLISH method present.
2247 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2248 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2249 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2250 type constraint, which allows for a
2251 hand optimized version of the type
2252 constraint to be used when possible.
2253 - Any internally created type constraints
2254 now provide an optimized version as well.
2256 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2258 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2259 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2260 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2262 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2263 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2264 your class namespace of these exported
2267 * Moose::Meta::Class
2268 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2269 comes up during global destruction
2271 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2275 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2279 - changed how we do type checks so that
2280 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2283 - moved accessor generation methods to
2284 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2285 conform to the API changes from
2288 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2289 - changed how constraints are compiled
2290 so that we do less recursion and more
2291 iteration. This makes the type check
2293 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2296 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2297 - created this from methods formerly found in
2298 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2300 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2301 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2304 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2306 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2307 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2309 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2311 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2312 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2313 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2314 - added tests for this
2315 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2316 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2317 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2318 - removed tests for this
2320 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2322 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2323 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2324 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2327 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2328 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2329 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2331 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2332 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2333 comments for more info.
2336 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2337 asked questions and common problems
2339 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2340 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2341 - added tests for this
2343 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2344 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2345 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2346 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2348 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2349 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2352 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2353 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2354 is much appreciated :)
2355 - added tests for this
2357 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2358 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2359 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2362 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2363 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2365 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2367 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2368 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2372 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2373 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2374 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2376 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2378 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2381 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2382 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2383 keywords because we need to localize them.
2384 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2386 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2387 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2388 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2391 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2394 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2395 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2396 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2399 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2400 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2401 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2403 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2405 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2406 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2407 bottom of your class file.
2410 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2413 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2415 - improved error message when loading modules so
2416 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2417 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2418 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2421 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2422 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2423 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2425 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2426 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2428 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2429 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2430 turn them on for you.
2431 - added tests for this

2460 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2461 - This release works in combination with
2462 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2463 release because it uses the a new
2464 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2465 complete Role implementation. It has
2466 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2467 the the previous CPAN version. This
2468 release also lacks good updated docs,
2469 the official release will have updated docs.
2472 - refactored the keyword exports
2473 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2474 accepts more than one Role at a time

2480 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2481 accepts more than one Role at a time
2483 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2485 string enumerations which can be used as
2487 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2490 - more careful checking of params to new()
2493 - much work done on the role composition
2494 - many new tests for conflict detection
2495 and composition edge cases
2496 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2497 looking at the tests
2499 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2500 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2501 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2511 - some small changes to support the new
2513 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2514 with the 'handles' option

2520 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2521 thanks to chansen for this commit
2522 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2523 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2524 on a per-attribute basis
2525 - added tests for this
2526 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2527 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2528 experimental feature and probably not finished
