1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
9 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
10 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
12 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values or "is"
13 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
14 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
17 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
18 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
19 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
21 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
22 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
23 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
27 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
28 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
29 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
31 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
32 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
33 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
34 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
38 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
39 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
42 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
46 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
47 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
48 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
50 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
54 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
55 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
59 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
60 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
61 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
63 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
64 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
65 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
67 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
71 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
73 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
77 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
79 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
80 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
85 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
86 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
88 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
89 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
90 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
91 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
94 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
95 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
96 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
97 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
99 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
103 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
104 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
109 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
111 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
113 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
118 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
120 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
124 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
125 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
126 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
128 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
129 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
130 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
131 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
133 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
134 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
135 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
136 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
137 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
140 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
145 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
146 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
147 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
148 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
149 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
152 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
156 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
159 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
160 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
164 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
165 function (not just method). (doy)
169 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
170 and aren't easily installable/testable.
172 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
176 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
177 to be overridden more easily (doy).
179 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
183 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
184 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
186 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
190 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
191 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
192 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
194 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
198 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
199 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
200 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
202 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
203 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
207 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
208 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
210 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
211 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
215 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
216 is applied to a class (t0m).
218 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
219 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
221 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
224 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
225 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
227 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
228 be much more robust. (doy)
230 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
232 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
235 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
239 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
240 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
242 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
246 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
247 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
249 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
252 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
253 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
254 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
256 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
257 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
258 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
261 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
263 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
267 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
268 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
272 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
274 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
279 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
283 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
284 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
288 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
290 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
294 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
295 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
299 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
300 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
304 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
305 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
307 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
311 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
312 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
313 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
316 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
320 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
321 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
322 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
323 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
325 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
329 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
330 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
331 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
335 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
338 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
343 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
344 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
348 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
349 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
351 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
352 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
353 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
354 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
356 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
360 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
364 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
365 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
367 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
368 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
369 - Moose::Util::does_role
370 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
371 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
372 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
374 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
378 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
379 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
380 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
383 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
387 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
388 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
391 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
395 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
396 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
399 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
403 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
405 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
406 class. (Dave Rolsky).
408 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
409 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
410 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
412 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
413 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
414 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
417 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
418 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
420 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
421 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
422 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
424 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
426 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
427 substr et al, again. (sorear)
429 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
431 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
434 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
435 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
437 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
438 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
440 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
441 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
442 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
443 dependencies installed.
445 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
446 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
449 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
451 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
455 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
457 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
458 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
459 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
461 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
462 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
463 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
465 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
466 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
469 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
470 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
471 others. (nothingmuch)
473 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
474 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
475 remove_accessors. (doy)
477 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
478 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
479 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
481 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
482 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
484 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
485 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
486 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
487 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
490 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
491 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
493 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
494 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
496 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
498 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
499 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
502 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
503 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
504 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
505 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
506 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
508 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
509 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
510 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
511 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
512 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
513 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
514 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
517 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
518 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
519 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
520 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
521 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
523 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
524 which were not receiving the value of
525 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
526 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
527 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
528 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
532 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
533 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
534 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
535 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
536 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
539 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
540 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
541 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
542 - added tests for this (Stevan)
545 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
546 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
547 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
550 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
551 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
552 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
554 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
555 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
556 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
559 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
560 class if you pass it options for
561 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
562 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
563 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
564 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
565 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
566 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
567 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
568 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
569 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
571 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
572 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
573 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
574 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
575 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
578 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
579 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
580 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
581 existing delegation API. (hdp)
583 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
584 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
585 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
586 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
587 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
588 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
591 * Moose::Error::Croak
592 * Moose::Error::Confess
593 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
594 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
597 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
600 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
601 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
602 installing a broken sub. (doy)
605 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
608 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
609 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
610 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
612 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
613 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
614 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
615 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
616 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
618 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
619 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
622 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
624 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
625 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
628 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
629 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
631 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
632 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
633 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
634 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
636 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
637 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
638 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
639 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
640 using it for new code!
642 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
643 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
644 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
645 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
647 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
648 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
649 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
650 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
651 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
652 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
653 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
654 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
657 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
660 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
661 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
664 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
665 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
667 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
668 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
669 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
672 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
673 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
674 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
677 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
678 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
681 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
682 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
685 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
686 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
687 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
688 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
689 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
690 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
692 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
694 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
697 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
698 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
699 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
701 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
702 associated_methods. (hdp)
703 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
704 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
705 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
706 misspelled) arguments
708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
709 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
710 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
711 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
713 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
714 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
715 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
717 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
720 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
721 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
722 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
725 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
726 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
728 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
730 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
731 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
733 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
734 * Moose::Manual::Types
735 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
736 string parsing rathole (mst)
738 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
739 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
740 using plain objects instead
742 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
743 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
746 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
748 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
749 three times today (perigrin)
750 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
751 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
753 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
754 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
755 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
756 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
759 - A role's required methods are now represented by
760 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
761 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
762 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
763 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
764 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
767 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
768 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
769 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
770 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
773 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
775 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
778 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
780 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
783 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
784 during global destruction. This method has been made more
785 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
789 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
790 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
793 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
794 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
796 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
797 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
798 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
801 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
803 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
804 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
807 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
811 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
812 methods during global destruction (doy)
815 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
816 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
820 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
821 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
824 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
825 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
828 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
829 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
831 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
833 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
837 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
838 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
839 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
842 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
843 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
844 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
847 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
849 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
850 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
851 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
854 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
855 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
856 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
857 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
859 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
860 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
861 of the Moose core (Sartak)
864 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
867 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
868 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
869 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
873 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
874 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
877 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
879 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
882 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
883 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
886 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
887 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
890 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
891 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
894 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
897 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
899 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
900 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
904 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
906 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
907 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
910 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
911 * More deprecations and renamings
912 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
913 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
914 when an object is constructed)
917 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
918 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
919 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
921 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
922 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
923 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
924 feature, and it works again.
927 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
929 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
931 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
932 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
933 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
935 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
936 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
937 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
938 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
939 message. Test provided by perigrin.
941 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
942 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
943 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
944 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
945 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
948 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
949 metaclass object. (hdp)
951 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
952 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
953 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
954 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
955 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
956 point out this fact. (hdp)
958 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
959 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
961 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
962 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
965 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
966 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
967 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
968 called during instance construction were passed the
969 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
970 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
972 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
973 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
976 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
977 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
978 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
981 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
982 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
983 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
984 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
985 them, but they are not for "public" use.
988 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
990 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
991 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
992 when an object is constructed)
993 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
995 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
996 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
997 when an object is constructed)
998 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
999 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1000 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1003 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1005 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1006 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1008 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1010 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1011 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1012 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1014 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1015 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1016 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1018 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1020 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1021 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1023 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1024 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1027 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1028 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1031 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1032 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1033 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1036 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1040 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1041 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1042 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1044 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1045 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1048 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1049 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1050 with recommended workarounds.
1052 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1053 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1055 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1056 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1057 (yes, spelled like that).
1059 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1060 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1062 * Moose::Meta::Class
1063 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1064 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1066 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1068 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1069 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1070 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1071 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1072 instead. Reported by doy.
1074 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1076 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1077 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1079 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1080 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1081 message) is now deprecated.
1082 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1083 often got it wrong. For example:
1085 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1087 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1091 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1092 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1093 bite you in weird cases.
1095 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1096 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1097 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1098 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1100 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1101 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1105 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1108 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1109 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1112 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1113 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1115 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1116 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1119 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1120 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1121 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1122 - added tests for this (stevan)
1124 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1125 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1126 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1127 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1131 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1132 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1133 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1134 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1136 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1137 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1138 - added tests for this (rafl)
1140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1141 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1142 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1143 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1147 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1148 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1151 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1152 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1153 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1155 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1157 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1158 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1160 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1161 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1162 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1163 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1164 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1166 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1167 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1168 error message did not specify the attribute name
1171 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1173 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1175 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1176 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1177 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1179 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1180 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1183 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1185 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1186 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1187 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1188 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1190 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1192 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1193 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1194 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1195 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1198 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1199 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1201 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1202 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1203 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1204 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1205 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1207 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1208 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1209 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1210 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1211 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1213 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1214 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1215 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1216 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1217 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1218 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1220 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1221 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1222 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1223 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1224 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1225 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1227 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1228 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1230 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1231 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1232 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1233 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1235 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1236 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1239 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1243 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1244 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1246 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1247 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1248 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1249 guts. (nothingmuch).
1251 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1252 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1253 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1256 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1257 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1258 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1260 * Moose::Meta::Class
1261 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1264 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1265 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1267 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1268 * Moose::Unsweetened
1269 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1272 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1273 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1274 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1275 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1276 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1277 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1279 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1280 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1281 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1282 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1283 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1284 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1285 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1286 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1287 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1288 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1290 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1292 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1293 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1295 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1296 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1297 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1298 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1300 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1301 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1302 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1303 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1304 same methods for a single role did not work
1305 right (worked just fine with multiple
1307 - added test for this (stevan)
1309 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1310 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1311 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1314 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1315 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1316 - added test for this (t0m)
1319 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1320 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1321 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1324 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1325 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1326 - added test for this (t0m)
1328 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1329 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1330 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1331 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1332 - added test for this (perigrin)
1335 - create method for constructing a role
1336 dynamically (Sartak)
1337 - added test for this (Sartak)
1338 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1339 - added test for this (Sartak)
1342 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1344 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1345 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1346 methods is useful (Sartak)
1348 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1349 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1350 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1353 * Moose::Meta::Class
1354 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1355 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1356 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1357 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1358 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1359 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1362 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1363 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1365 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1366 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1367 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1368 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1369 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1371 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1373 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1374 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1375 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1378 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1379 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1380 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1381 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1382 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1383 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1386 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1387 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1388 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1389 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1390 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1391 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1392 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1393 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1394 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1395 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1396 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1398 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1399 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1402 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1403 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1404 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1405 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1406 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1408 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1410 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1411 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1412 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1414 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1415 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1418 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1419 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1420 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1423 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1424 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1426 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1428 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1429 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1431 * Moose::Meta::Class
1432 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1433 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1434 a required attribute
1436 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1437 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1438 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1439 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1441 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1442 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1444 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1445 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1446 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1447 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1448 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1449 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1450 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1451 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1453 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1454 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1455 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1457 * Roles and role application
1458 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1459 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1460 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1461 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1462 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1464 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1465 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1468 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1469 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1470 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1471 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1472 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1475 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1476 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1477 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1478 changes in the Moose internals.
1480 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1481 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1482 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1485 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1486 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1487 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1488 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1490 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1491 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1492 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1493 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1495 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1496 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1497 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1498 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1499 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1500 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1501 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1502 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1503 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1504 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1505 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1506 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1507 constraint implementations.
1509 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1513 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1514 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1515 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1516 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1517 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1518 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1519 - added tests for this (rafl)
1521 * Moose::Meta::Class
1522 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1523 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1524 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1525 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1526 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1527 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1528 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1529 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1532 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1533 - added tests for this (thepler)
1535 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1536 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1537 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1538 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1541 * Moose::Meta::Class
1542 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1543 * Moose::Meta::Method
1546 * Moose::Error::Default
1547 * Moose::Error::Croak
1548 * Moose::Error::Confess
1549 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1550 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1551 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1552 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1553 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1554 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1556 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1558 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1559 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1561 * Moose::Unsweetened
1562 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1563 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1564 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1566 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1567 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1568 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1569 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1570 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1573 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1574 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1576 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1577 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1578 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1579 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1582 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1584 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1585 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1587 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1590 - Various bug fixes.
1592 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1593 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1595 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1597 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1598 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1599 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1600 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1601 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1602 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1604 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1605 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1606 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1608 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1609 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1610 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1613 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1614 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1615 dependency to 0.64_07.
1617 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1618 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1619 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1621 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1622 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1625 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1626 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1627 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1628 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1629 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1630 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1632 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1633 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1635 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1637 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1638 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1642 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1643 method when that method was provided by another role being
1644 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1645 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1647 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1649 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1650 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1652 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1653 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1654 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1655 - added test for this (t0m)
1657 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1658 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1659 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1661 - added test for this (t0m)
1664 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1665 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1666 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1669 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1670 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1672 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1674 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1675 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1677 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1678 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1679 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1681 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1682 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1685 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1686 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1687 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1688 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1692 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1693 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1694 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1697 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1698 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1699 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1700 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1703 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1707 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1708 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1709 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1711 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1712 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1713 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1714 created so that the process can be more easily

1727 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1729 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1730 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1731 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1733 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1734 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1735 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1737 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1738 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1740 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1741 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1744 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1745 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1749 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1750 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1752 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1753 ... this is not my day today ...
1755 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1756 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1757 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1758 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1759 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1762 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1763 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1764 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1765 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1766 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1769 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1771 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1772 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1773 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1774 this is not ever something you want to do
1775 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1776 - added tests for this (stevan)
1779 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1781 - added test for this
1783 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1784 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1785 - added tests for this (wreis)
1787 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1788 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1789 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1790 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1792 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1793 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1794 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1797 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1799 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1801 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1804 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1805 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1806 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1807 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1808 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1809 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1810 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1811 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1812 - added tests for this
1814 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1815 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1816 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1817 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1819 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1821 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1822 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1823 - added tests for this (sartak)
1824 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1825 install_delegation method (Stevan)

1835 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1836 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1838 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1840 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1873 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1874 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1875 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1877 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1878 - move the ClassName type check code to
1879 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1881 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1882 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1884 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1885 (early morning release engineering)--
1887 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1888 which was causing the indexer to choke
1890 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1891 (late night release engineering)--
1893 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1894 changes in this release
1896 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1897 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1898 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1900 * Moose::Meta::Class
1901 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1902 since it is called so often by &meta
1904 * Moose::Meta::Class
1906 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1907 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1910 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1911 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1912 method for immutablization to check if the
1913 destructor object even needs to be created
1916 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1917 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1918 - added more descriptive error message to help
1919 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1920 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1922 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1924 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1925 XS based functionality is now optional
1926 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1927 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1928 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1930 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1931 to take care of this, mostly we added
1932 support for the package_name and name
1933 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1934 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1935 support regexp matching of names
1936 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1937 - tests added for this
1938 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1939 is currently not supported in roles,
1940 but, ... patches welcome
1941 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1942 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1943 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1946 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1947 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1948 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1949 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1950 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1951 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1952 - added test for this
1954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1955 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1956 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1959 * Moose::Meta::Class
1960 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1964 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1966 - added tests for this
1967 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1968 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1971 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1972 themselves parameterizable types
1974 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1975 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1976 called by the inlined immutable
1978 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1980 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1981 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1982 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1983 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1985 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1986 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1990 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1991 causing occasional cpantester failures

1993 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1995 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1997 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1998 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2001 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2002 ->body when looping through the
2003 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2005 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2006 eating the $@ values, and so not
2007 working correctly, it still kind of
2008 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2009 - added tests for this
2011 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2012 - added new recipe for immutable
2013 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2015 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2016 - added new recipe for builder and
2017 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2019 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11

2021 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2024 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2026 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2027 since Module::Install has done that.
2029 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2031 drink more coffee before
2032 doing release engineering
2034 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2035 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2036 modules. This fixes that.
2038 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2039 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2040 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2042 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2043 since we have tests which need the C3
2046 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2047 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2049 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2050 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2052 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2053 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2054 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2055 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2061 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2062 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2064 * Moose::Meta::Class
2065 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2066 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2068 - added test for this
2070 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2071 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2072 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug

2149 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2151 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2152 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2442 - added tests for this
2445 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2446 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2485 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2488 - fixed how required methods are handled
2489 when they encounter overriden or modified
2490 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2491 - added tests for this
2493 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2494 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2495 the | always creates a union and so is
2496 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2497 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

2501 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2504 * Parameterized Types
2505 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2506 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2507 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2508 They can also be nested:
2509 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2510 And work with the type unions as well:
2511 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2513 * Better Framework Extendability
2514 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2515 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2516 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2517 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2520 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2521 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2522 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2523 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2742 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2743 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2744 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2745 - added tests for this
2746 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2747 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2748 functions to facilitate introspection.
2750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2751 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2752 to build the list of delegated methods
2753 correctly (and not override important
2754 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2756 - added tests and docs for this
2757 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2758 so that you can actually document your
2759 attributes and inspect them through the
2761 - added tests and docs for this
2763 * Moose::Meta::Class
2764 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2765 it will first look in for the class in the
2766 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2767 then default to just loading $name.
2768 - added tests and docs for this
2770 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2771 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2772 - added test for this
2775 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2776 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2777 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2778 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2780 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2781 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2784 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2786 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2787 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2788 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2791 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2792 !! for this developer release to work !!
2794 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2795 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2796 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2797 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2798 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2799 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2800 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2801 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2802 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2803 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2804 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2806 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2807 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2808 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2809 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2812 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2814 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2815 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2816 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2818 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2820 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2821 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2824 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2825 called unless they actually need to be.
2826 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2827 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2828 DEMOLISH method present.
2830 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2831 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2832 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2833 type constraint, which allows for a
2834 hand optimized version of the type
2835 constraint to be used when possible.
2836 - Any internally created type constraints
2837 now provide an optimized version as well.
2839 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2841 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2842 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2843 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2845 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2846 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2847 your class namespace of these exported
2850 * Moose::Meta::Class
2851 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2852 comes up during global destruction
2854 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2858 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2862 - changed how we do type checks so that
2863 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2866 - moved accessor generation methods to
2867 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2868 conform to the API changes from
2871 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2872 - changed how constraints are compiled
2873 so that we do less recursion and more
2874 iteration. This makes the type check
2876 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2879 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2880 - created this from methods formerly found in
2881 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2883 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2884 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2886 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2887 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2889 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2890 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2892 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2894 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2895 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2896 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2897 - added tests for this
2898 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2899 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2900 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2901 - removed tests for this
2903 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2905 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2906 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2907 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2910 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2911 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2912 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2914 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2915 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2916 comments for more info.
2919 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2920 asked questions and common problems
2922 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2923 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2924 - added tests for this
2926 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2927 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2928 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2929 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2931 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2932 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2935 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2936 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2937 is much appreciated :)
2938 - added tests for this
2940 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2941 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2942 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2945 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2946 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2948 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2950 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2951 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2955 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2956 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2957 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2959 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2961 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2964 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2965 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2966 keywords because we need to localize them.
2967 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2969 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2970 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2971 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2974 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2977 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2978 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2979 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2982 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2983 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2984 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2986 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2988 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2989 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2990 bottom of your class file.
2993 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2996 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2998 - improved error message when loading modules so
2999 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3000 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3001 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3004 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3005 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3006 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3008 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3009 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3011 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3012 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3013 turn them on for you.
3014 - added tests for this

3043 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3044 - This release works in combination with
3045 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3046 release because it uses the a new
3047 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3048 complete Role implementation. It has
3049 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3050 the the previous CPAN version. This
3051 release also lacks good updated docs,
3052 the official release will have updated docs.
3055 - refactored the keyword exports
3056 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3057 accepts more than one Role at a time

3063 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3064 accepts more than one Role at a time
3066 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3068 string enumerations which can be used as
3070 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3073 - more careful checking of params to new()
3076 - much work done on the role composition
3077 - many new tests for conflict detection
3078 and composition edge cases
3079 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3080 looking at the tests
3082 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3083 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3084 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3086 * Moose::Meta::Class
3087 - some small changes to support the new
3089 - some small additions to support Roles
3091 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3092 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3094 - some small changes to support the new
3096 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3097 with the 'handles' option
3098 - added several tests for this
3099 - no docs for this yet

3103 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3104 thanks to chansen for this commit
3105 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3106 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3107 on a per-attribute basis
3108 - added tests for this
3109 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3110 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
